20、gh Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned
21、over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginnerswhich is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last ye
22、ar had swum in every one-mile race.I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area, a childrens paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyones tho
23、ught! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.Wed been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just
24、 keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didnt work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didnt want to stop, so I bent my right knee and
25、just kicked with the left leg.5Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting therestill one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didnt matterthe atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. Im hooked, and want

29、aving swum so quickly.C. Her eagerness to repeat the experience.D. Her surprise at having managed to finish.CThe Alexander techniqueUntil earlier this year, I didnt know anything about the Alexander techniqueand saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more pai
30、nful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope theyll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actually have bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Three months later I could walk str
31、aighter and sit better.The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little
32、 effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates, which 6are exercise-based. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straight
33、en the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly.The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be ha
34、rd to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines.So who
35、 was Alexander and how did he come up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (声音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brough
36、t his technique to London and opened a teacher-training school, which is still successful today.So if youre walking along the road one day with shoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.38. What does the
37、 author suggest in Paragraph 1? A. She felt no better after the treatment.B. She got bored with the Alexander technique.C. She was sceptical about the doctors method.D. She was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache.39. What is the principle of the Alexander technique? A. Physical tension shou
38、ldnt be completely relieved.B. The technique shouldnt be combined with other exercises.C. The practice of the technique shouldnt be attempted alone.D. Familiar physical actions shouldnt be done with much effort.40. What can we learn about Frederick Alexander? A. He managed to recover his vocal power
39、s.B. He was eager to make a name for himself.C. He developed a form of exercise for actors.D. He had to leave home to develop his technique.41. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The occurrence of back pain is widespread.B. Alexander improved the technique to treat body pain.C. The Alexander te
40、chnique helps overcome posture problems.D. People with back pain are victims of inappropriate postures. 7DDont put it off, do it now!Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting things
41、off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until its too late to do anything else.“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks w
42、ere fun, wed just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people cant see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they
43、have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who dont argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling
44、up around us daily. “Weve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether its the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the rew
45、ard comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate
46、 our plans for the limbic system.Lets take the example of students writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or “pre-commitments”
47、, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it more likely a task will be completed. The benefit is that youll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to dotelling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.Ove
48、rcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if youre not careful, becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people dont pretend they dont procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less
49、 successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.842. What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1? A. It is something many people cant help.B. It is an excuse people often use in public.C. It is caused by the technology in peoples life.D. It is mo
