　　Ask runners why they run and you'll get a variety of answers; to stay healthy or to feel better. Some have an even bigger reason一to stay calm or out of prison. But Back on My Feet puts recovering addicts and the homeless on the road to a brighter future, starting with a simple step; attending group runs three tunes a week.

　　At 5:30 a.m. on a hot July day, Back on My Feet's Team Brooklyn gathered in a parking lot. After a round of hugs and some warm-up, the group of eight volunteers and seven residents(居民)set out on a run to nearby Prospect Park. Some ran three miles, some longer, but the goal for all was to finish as a team

　　"It's helping me put my life back together," said Jimmy, a 58-year-old cancer survivor who was homeless and a former alcohol addict. “It’s healthy. It makes me feel good inside,” adds Jimmy.

　　Many are skeptical(怀疑的)about the idea of homeless runners, according to Anne Mahlum, who founded Back on My Feet in 2007 after starting a running club for men at a shelter near her Philadelphia home. They did want to run, and in just six years, Mahlum's small running club has expanded to 10 cities around the country, and 388 active members.

　　The only requirement for joining, besides wanting to, is insisting on at least 30 days."The first day we give them new shoes and Back on My Feet shirts," Mahlum says. “Then they run a mile the first day. And then gradually we'll encourage them to build goals. “After 30 days,residents gain access to services like financial aid,housing assistance and employment opportunities through Back on My Feet's partners. In its first year, the New York chapter has seen 41 members obtain employment, 34 gain housing and 50 work in job-training programs.

　　That's not to say it's always easy. “I wanted to quit. But then I started to push myself，”said Adel, 39, who began running in March. “Now I would love to run a 10-mile run. Or maybe a marathon one day, who knows. I ran this far, so why not?”

　　This question comes up naturally in the first few weeks at home if a baby is crying a lot between feedings instead of sleeping peacefully. You pick him up and walk him around and he stops crying, at least for the time being. Lay him down, and he starts all over again.

　　I don’t think you need to worry much about spoiling in the first month or even the first 6 months. The chances are great that such a young baby is feeling miserable. If he stops crying when picked up, it’s probably because the warm pressure on his abdomen from being held make him forget his pain or tension. The answer to this question really depends on what lessons you think babies are learning in the first months of life. It is unlikely that they are capable of learning to expect their every wish to be attended to 24 hours a day.

　　What infants are learning during this period is a sense of basic trust in the world. If their needs are met lovingly, they come to feel that the world is a place where good things generally happen and bad experiences are soon corrected.

　　Psychologists use the term “secure attachment (依赖)” to talk about basic trust. A child who has a secure attachment to a parent or caregiver believes that parent will keep him safe and will provide for his pressing needs. Some parents worry that picking up babies right away will make them overly dependent. I like to tell these parents about a very important study on the effects picking up crying babies. Babies whose parents try to respond immediately to their crying actually cry less, and are more independent as preschoolers, compared to babies who were left to “cry it out”.

　　1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A. Can an Infant Be Spoiled?

　　B. Why Does an Infant Cry?

　　C. How Do You Deal with an Infant?

　　D. Shall an Infant Be Picked up?

　　2. The reason why an infant cries is that 　.

　　A. he/she expects to be picked up

　　B. he/she doesn’t feel comfortable

　　C. he/she plays a trick on purpose

　　D. he/she is in great need of sleep

　　3. What does the underlined word “abdomen” in the second paragraph mean?

　　A. face B. arm C. stomach D. head

　　4. If an infant is picked up when crying, 　.

　　A. he/she will think the world is magic

　　B. he/she will form a habit of dependence

　　C. he/she will seek more help from others

　　D. he/she will have a sense of basic trust

　　5. The psychologists think that 　.

　　A. caring an infant too much is bad for his/her health

　　B. you can never spoil your infant too much

　　C. an infant being picked up will lead to laziness

　　D. it is much better to leave a crying baby aside

　　较难题目特训：科普知识类

　　The term“multitasking” originally referred to a computer’s ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises(大脑训练)involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss.

　　In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex(前额叶脑皮层). Brain seans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex“moment of rest” yourself if you’ve ever dialed(拨电话) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you called when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to another thought or task, and then took that“moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency(效率) declines while multitasking, as compared to when they perform only one task at a time.

　　Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires little thought. Most people don’t find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes.

　　We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people’s names—even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.

　　1. Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking?

　　A. To make them more productive.

　　B. To reduce their stress and anxiety.

　　C. To develop their communication skills.

　　D. To help them perform daily tasks more easily.

　　2. According to Paragraph 2, why may a person suddenly forget who he has called?

　　A. He may have his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged.

　　B. He is probably interrupted by another task.

　　C. He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called.

　　D. He may need a rest between dialing and speaking.

　　3. People tend to make mistakes when　.　

　　A. they perform several challenging tasks at a time

　　B. new messages are processed one after another

　　C. their relationships with others are affected

　　D. the tasks require little thought

　　4. What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Multitasking has become a way of life.

　　B. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.

　　C. Multitasking exercises need to be improved.

　　D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better.
