11．Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim，but also improves your overall health and well-being.Different exercises produce different results，as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories：endurance，strength，flexibility，and balance.Many people often only focus on one exercise type，but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate.By doing endurance exercises，you are working to keep your heart，lungs，and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles，then strength exercises，which are also known as "resistance training"，are right for you.Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks.Developing strong muscles also reduce your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles.This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion，posture，ability to breathe deeply，and blood flow.Also，it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults，helping them stay independent.Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground.Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
（1）How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine？
A．By combining different exercise types together.
B．By having enough rest between their workouts.
C．By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
D．By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.
（2）Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function？
A．Strength and Balance.
B．Flexibility and Balance.
C．Endurance and Strength.
D．Endurance and Flexibility.
（3）Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises？
A．Arms.
B．Legs.
C．Waist.
D．Neck.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
12．Xu Shu was much valued by Liu Bei for his strategic talents.After several victories on the battleground against Cao Cao，Xu was made the chief military advisor.Cao Cao was greatly surprised at the news. "If you want this person，" one of his advisors said， "you can bring his mother to Xuchang and send a forged letter in his mother's handwriting，asking Xu Shu to desert Liu Bei and come here.As Xu is well-known for a strong filial（孝順的）affection，surely he will come." This plot worked.For Xu，on receiving the letter，cried tearfully，asking Liu Bei for an immediate departure.Feeling sad，though，Liu persisted in his stay for another night，during which the two aired their sad feelings.
The next day Liu laid a banquet outside the city for Xu.Holding the letter's hand，Liu said， "After we separate today，only heaven knows when and where we will meet again." He wept bitter tears.
After setting off on his way，Xu suddenly turned his horse and returned. "I almost forgot an important matter." He said to Liu， "Ten kilometers from Xiangyang City，in a place called Longzhong，there is a talent called Zhuge Liang.Do you want to meet him？" Liu expressed his willingness at once，but also aired doubt about whether Zhuge Liang was as talented as Xu. "He tells positions of stars in the heavens，" Xu assured him， "and recognizes everything on earth.He knows a person's real nature at the first meeting-the number one talent under the heaven. If you have him as your military advisor，you'll have the country under your name." Lin suggested a visit to Zhuge by Xu on his behalf.At this，the latter shook his head in disapproval. "You must go and offer your invitation personally，and his acceptance depends entirely on your sincerity." With these words said，Xu turned his horse and left.Later，Liu paid three trips to Zhuge's straw house，another favorite story among Chinese people.

13．What is the secret to the world's most creative minds-the minds of resourceful inventors，innovative scientists and inspired artists？Are they simply lucky to be born with the right genes？Most studies suggest that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person's genes.
So what are the requirements for creativity？First of all，creativity takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance，but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form over a long period.In fact，many of history's most creative people have a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King，Jr，reportedly wrote his "I Have a Dream" speech at ten o'clock the night before he delivered it，but it had gone through a long period of "preparation and incubation" in his mind before that.
In a surprising twist，creativity may also be sparked by suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists，and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old.
Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don't seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds，some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children，creative people are often unable to sit still，unable to focus on their lessons，instead，always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention.
The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world's most creative minds.
（1）Martin Luther King's speech is mentioned to show.
A．the creative process requires time
B．creative people magic up ideas
C．right genes contribute to creativity
D．the last-minute pressure brings breakthroughs
（2）How does the author prove his point in the 3rd paragraph？
A．By quoting sayings.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By providing examples.
D．By analyzing a phenomenon.
（3）Which of the following signs do creative kids probably exhibit？
A．Lack of curiosity.
B．Good adaptation skills.
C．Distraction-free mode.
D．High activity level.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A．To reveal the secrets of brilliant inventions.
B．To explore the characteristics of creative minds.
C．To present the sufferings of artistic geniuses.
D．To introduce the achievements of innovative scientists.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6
