　　A

　　If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely hard and require practice to get good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally difficult sports.

　　Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.

　　Rock climbing may sound a bit too challenging for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing practice. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and you’re your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.

　　Going for Yoga Lessons

　　“Try and see inside your mind, a wide open blue sky and a vast green plain far away. Breathe in as you circle your hands high above your head, then bend back a little. Breathe out as you circle your arms back down to your sides...”

　　Following the yoga teacher’s gentle instructions, Bai Yunuo, 15, from the High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University tried to get each of her poses correct.

　　Bai’s school offered 24 elective courses for Senior 1 students this term and she chose two. It was her first yoga class.

　　“I’m happy that I can learn yoga at school. I love dancing but I have some injuries on my knees from when I was a kid. So I decide to try something soft. Simply stretching into different poses makes me feel free and quiet. And the music is quite comforting. The class is relaxing after a whole day’s work,” Bai said.

　　Liu Zehao, 15, found his interest was Junior Achievement（企业经营模拟）. The course brings students into the real world of business. In their first class, Liu and his group members named their company “Vision”. Liu was elected as CEO of the company.

　　Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.

　　One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States did the study. They had about 200 college students play a game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group.

　　The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.

　　Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least.

　　And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The group with the most punishment earned 25% less than the group with the least punishment.

　　The other study involved children. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than 800 children were ages two to four the first time they were tested.

　　More than 700 children were ages five to nine.

　　The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.

　　The study says the IQs - or intelligence quotients - of the younger children who were not spanked（掴）were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.

　　Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.

　　67. Which of the following is True about the game mentioned in the first paragraph?

　　A. Prisoners are more interested in the first game than the university students.

　　B. The game is very popular with the students in Harvard University in the United States.

　　C. The game is played to test whether people are more cooperative on the basis of rewards.

　　D. The game is played in order to encourage the students to cooperate.

　　68. The underlined part in the third paragraph means the punisher will have to _______.

　　A. lose some of his money

　　B. lose some of the points

　　C. lose all the points of the group

　　D. gain the points of the punished

　　69. What does the result of the first experiment imply?

　　A. Rewards encourage better cooperation than punishments.

　　B. Individual interests are always a challenge to the group.

　　C. Four members will work better in one group.

　　D. The group that punished most gained nothing eventually.

　　【答案】A

　　70. What do we know about the second experiment in the passage?

　　A. The whole experiment, including two tests, lasted four years.

　　B. Physical punishment was employed only in the younger group.

　　C. Children in both groups have acquired same IQ development.

　　D. No physical punishment was used in the younger group.
