12.The Link between Fitness and Career Success
It's no mystery to successful people that there is direct link between sound health & fitness and success in their career and personal lives.Successful persons likely show up at the health club consistently,work with a personal trainer,or get up a few minutes early for a heart elevating(增進(jìn)的) jog.Successful people like to jump start their day with plenty of energy and the feel-good endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽) that exercise offers.Recent studies prove the direct link between fitness and success.
Better ability to focus,improved confidence and enhanced(增強(qiáng)的) ability to follow through were directly attributed(歸屬于) to improved fitness levels according to a 2007University of Georgia study.Further,a leading manager search company surveyed more than 1,300managers.When asked to describe their viewpoints of weight and work,75% said good physical fitness is"important for career success at the manager level."17%,by contrast,said staying in shape is"a nice goal,but secondary(次要的) to good fitness."
The CEO of that manager search firm said,"Good physical fitness is important to success as a manager in today's work world.''When asked about obesity(肥胖),75% of managers said that being overweight is a"serious career impediment(妨礙)".Do these responses reflect our obsession with weight loss and mirror the constant reports of skinny(極瘦的) images in popular culture?Probably not.Rather,there is a very strong link between improved fitness and increased productivity,enhanced ability to solve problems,superior energy,not to mention reduced stress and tiredness,all leading to better job performance.It goes well beyond looking good.Fit people tend to have better eating habits and miss fewer days at work due to a higher resistance(抵抗) to illness.And with competition continually increasing in every industry,companies are now rewarding employees and managers who miss less work and produce more.
A study by Jim McKenna,a British researcher,showed that after exercising participants returned to work more tolerant of themselves and more forgiving of their colleagues.The study concluded that"work performance was consistently higher,time management skills improved,as did mental sharpness".
All it takes is investing 3-4sessions a week,30-45minutes each,to experience these benefits.Combine strength training and cardiovascular(心血管的) exercise,along with sound nutrition to speed up your mental sharpness,enhance your productivity,improve your mood and better manage stress.As your fitness level increases,likely your position on the ladder of success will too!

64.Successful people are likely toD.
A.have higher resistance to illness        B.get more energy and endorphins
C.lose weight more easily               D.care more about their fitness
65.What does the underlined word"obsession"in Paragraph 4mean?A
A.craze(狂熱).B.training.C.a(chǎn)nger.D.imagination.
66.According to the study by the manager search company,C.
A.there is no link between fitness and success
B.good physical fitness is critical for career success
C.mental sharpness,productivity and mood can be improved
D.people tend to be more tolerant and forgiving after exercising.

3.Many people now have problems with sleep.Drinking milk is helpful.A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off-if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that"night milk"contains more melatonin(褪黑激素),which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study,by researchers from Seoul,South Korea,involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk,which contained 10times the amount of melatonin,were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime,according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows'milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content,which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime,the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

28.According to the text,the mice fed with daytime milkB.
A.started sleep more easily      B.were more anxious
C.were less active             D.woke up later
29.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?D
A.It's been tested on mice for ten times
B.It can make people more energetic
C.It exists in milk in great amount
D.It's used in sleeping drugs
30.What can be a suitable title for the next?A
A.Night Milk and Sleep
B.Fat,Sugar and Health
C.An Experiment on Mice
D.Milk Drinking and Health
31.How does the author support the theme of the text?D
A.By giving examples
B.By stating arguments
C.By explaining statistical data
D.By providing research results.
