18、 world men and women and boys and girls enjoy sports. Sports help people to live happily as well as keep fit. Today Id like to say something about one of the most popular sports-jogging. The National Adult Physical Fitness Survey showed that 6.5 million adult Americans jog for exercise. The populari
19、ty of jogging has been heightened by medical claims of the benefits derived from regular participation in this activity. Regular jogging is credited with promoting a “training effect“ that conditions the heart to do more work with less effort; increases the efficiency of the respiratory system by st
20、rengthening the muscles that assist breathing; increases blood volume in the body, thereby increasing the oxygen -carrying capacity of the circulatory system; promotes blood vessel flexibility; aids the digestive system; and helps to maintain proper body weight through the high calorie expenditure,
21、It is reasonable to assume that the number of adult joggers will increase if this activity is properly taught and encouraged through school physical education programs. Children should be taught how to jog as well as to understand the benefits that result from regular jogging. It is recommended that
22、 motivational programs such as the National Varsity Club Sport Award be utilized to pro- vide added incentive for school jogging programs. In addition to learning the physiological effects of training noted above, students should be given the following information as guidelines for their personal jo
23、gging pro- grams.When jogging, run in an upright position, avoiding the tendency to lean. Keep your back as straight as you can and still remain comfortable, and keep head up. Don t look at your feet.Hold arms slightly away from body, with elbows bent so that forearms are approximately parallel to t
24、he ground. Occasionally shaking and relaxing the arms and shoulders will help reduce the tightness that some- times develops while jogging. Periodically taking several deep breaths and blowing them out completely will also help you to relax.It is best to land on the heel of the foot and rock forward
25、 so that you drive off the ball of the foot for your next step. ff this proves difficult, try a more flat - footed style. Jogging only on the balls of the feet, as in sprinting, will produce severe leg soreness.Keep steps short, letting foot strike the ground beneath the knee instead of reaching to
26、the front. Length of stride should vary with your rate of speed. Breathe deeply with mouth open. Do not hold breath. If for any reason you become unusually tired or uncomfortable, slow down, walk, or stop.(分数:5.00)(1).How many adult Americans jog for exercise according to The National Adult Physical

29、(分数:1.00)A.At puberty.B.During childhood.C.Daring adulthood.D.During old age.BTEXT B/BSome of the most basic concepts of psychology were defined by Sigmund Freud and two of his followers, Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung.Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist, was the founder of psychoanalysis and,
30、 some Would say, of modern psychology itself. The main hypothesis of Freuds theory is that human behavior is determined primarily by unconscious motives. These unconscious motives can be discovered through the use of free association, that is, through talking out problems with the patient. Freuds th
31、eory of personality involved three broad areas of investigation into human behavior: structural, dynamic, and developmental. Structurally, Freud divided the human personality into id, ego, and superego. The id is the completely unconscious part of self. It is the repository(资源) of ones instinctual n
32、eeds and drives. Freud posed that it consisted of everything psychological that was inherited.The ego is the rational aspect of the personality. It governs the impulsive needs created by the id and decides which needs can and will be satisfied according to the conditions of the environment. The supe
33、rego is the conscience, the ethical( 伦理的 ) or moral aspect of personality: It is formed by the traditional values and ideals of the society or culture in which a person is born. The superego strives for the ideal. The “con- science“ part provides guilt feelings when moral values are violated. The “e
34、go-ideal“ part provides feelings of pride when the self acts in consonance with traditional values of the group.Freuds dynamic concepts involved instinct, libido, and anxiety. Generally, we term behavior as instinctive if it occurs without any apparent opportunity of its having been learned. Freuds
35、“instinct“ differed in that it. refers to an inborn bodily condition represented by “wish“ and “need“. Libido is descriptive of ones emotional or psychic energy. This energy enables life “instincts“ to perform their work and is derived from primitive biological urges-for example, the sex drive. Thus
36、, the libido is usually goal directed. Anxiety, in psychological terms, is an uncontrollable state of fear often unrelated to a specific object or event. Freuds developmental concepts included identification, displacement, defense mechanisms and psycho- sexual stages. Identification labels the behav
37、ior of an individual who imitates another person or group( movie star, gangster, etc. ). Displacement occurs when the instinct is blocked and the frustrated energy is then diverted to substitute objects. Defense mechanisms (repression, projection, and reaction) describe behavior reacting to relieve
38、extreme pressure and to defend the ego. Psychosexual stages refer to the five set stages of an individual, from birth through adolescence: oral (breast-sucking babyhood), anal (toilet-training period), phallic( 36 years development of sexual feelings), latancy (intermediate stage between phallic and
39、 be-ginning of puberty (青春期), and genital( formation of genuine relationships and the end of narcissism (自我陶醉)Freuds two disciples broke with the master largely over the centrality of sex in Freuds theorizing. Alfred Adler maintained that man was more a social being than a sexual one, and that indiv
40、iduals are primarily motivated by social interests. Carl Jung also differed from Freud on what determines the motivation for human behavior. He stressed goal direction beyond childhood, as well as the influence of the ancestral past in such things as magic, power, and hero worship.(分数:5.00)(1).Freud
41、s concepts included a _.(分数:1.00)A.denial of instinctive behavior in animals and humansB.belief that religion properly modled the conscience so that the id could be controlledC.belief that human behavior can be explained primarily by the unconscious motives of individualsD.belief that human behavior
42、 is completely controlled by the “conscience“ part(2).Jung and Adler differed most with Freud over _.(分数:1.00)A.what primarily motivates human behaviorB.whether dreams can interpret human behaviorC.how hypnosis is used in psychoanalysisD.what medicine can cure neurosis(3).According to Freuds concept

44、likely to think of himself exclusively and outgrow what Freud calls “narcissistic behavior“?(分数:1.00)A.OralB.AnalC.PhallicD.Genital(5).If a worker fearful of talking back to an employer comes home and yells at a family member, we have an example of Freudian _.(分数:1.00)A.identificationB.displacementC
45、.projectionD.repressionBTEXT C/BThe traditional pattern of classroom experience at the college level brings the professor and a group of 20 to 30 students together for a 45-to-50-minute class session two or three times a week. The most common mode of instruction is the lecture. When lectures are the
46、 principal method of instruction in larger classes, regular periods may be set aside for small group discussions under the leadership of an assistant instructor. In cases where a small class size encourages in formality, lectures may be combined with discussion sessions based on assigned readings, r
47、equired textbooks, and other outside materials.Accurate, legible notes are invaluable aids to the student who is enrolled in a lecture course. Notes should be taken during lectures, and when the student is reading the texts prior to each session of the course. The key to good note-taking is to be ab
48、le to listen a lot and to write only as much as is needed to re- cord the essence of a point or idea presented by the lecturer. Thus, students should endeavor to identify only the main points and ideas being presented and to mite them down in outline form. They should also strive to take good notes the first time and not play to recopy notes-or to do so only when clarity and conciseness demand it. Finally, they should review their notes for about five minutes on the same day that they take them, and
