3、exercise habits of over 55,000 adults in the United States for six to twenty-two years. About 24 percent of the adults described themselves (21)_ runners. Compared to those who didnt run, those who did were 30 percent (22)_(likely) to die of any cause during the course of the study. These figures (2
4、3)_(adjust) to take into account peoples smoking and drinking habits, how old they were (24)_ they enrolled in the study, their familys health history and their other exercise habits.The researchers divided up the roughly 13,000 runners into five groups (25)_(base) on how many minutes they ran per w
5、eek. Those (26)_ were in the lowest group ran up to 50 minutes over a seven-day period, and those in the highest group ran for more than 175 minutes over the course of a week. According to the study, the benefits of running were pretty much the same for all runners.“Running even at lower doses or sl
6、ower speeds was associated with significant benefits,” the researchers wrote in their report. (27)_(reduce) the risk of premature death, they calculated, all it took was 30 to 59 minutes of running per week.“This finding has clinical and public health importance,” the report continues. “Time is one
7、of the strongest barriers to (28)_(participate) in physical activity. This study may motivate more people to start running. People who (29)_ hardly devote 20 minutes to moderate physical activity each day may appreciate the efficiency of a five-minute run.” However, it is not clear (30)_ the finding

This wisdom, as author Jennifer Kahnweiler makes clear in her new book, The Genius of Opposites, is 31 correct in the sense that cooperation is often going to be
10、difficult, filled with battles and miscommunications, and sometimes deliberate 32 .Somehow, however, the introvert-extrovert partnerships produced 33 results. The key to such success, according to Kahnweiler, is the five-step process at the heart of her book.The first step, Kahnweiler argues, is to
11、34 each others differences. If introverted and extroverted people want to partner, they have to realize they will never change the personality of the other person. Instead, each partner has to make a conscious effort to understand the other.The second step is that battles dont have to be avoided. In
12、stead, they can be the means through which each partner is challenged by the other; resulting in solutions that are better than those that might have been developed 35 .The third step is to cast the character. Because there are two very different personalities in the partnership, partners should tak
13、e on the roles that best fit their 36 personalities.Kahnweilers fourth step is to 37 the dislike. Two people with opposite personalities must work on learning to respect and like each other as much as possible.The fifth and final step is that each cant offer everything. Introvert-extrovert consultin
14、g partnerships are often powerful because neither partner could offer customers all they wantbut the two partners working together are able to 38 a much more various but complementary (互补的) product or service.For each step, Kahnweiler covers why that particular step is important. Also, Kahnweiler wr
15、ites, a major conflict can actually be a turning 39 in the relationship, paving the way to a productive cooperation. However, battles can also deal fatal blows to introvert-extrovert cooperation. If partners dont bring out the obvious problems, the result can 40 destroy the partnership.The Genius of
16、 Opposites is filled with stories of conflicts, most resolved through an effort at communication and a foundation of respect.III.

17、r phrase that best fits the context.The Advantages of an AgendaAn agenda is a list of topics to be introduced and discussed during a meeting. Agendas generally include a reading of the last meetings minutes or notes, relevant announcements, a review of the topics for discussion and a roll call. Alth
18、ough agendas take time to set up, in the long run they can 41 time and resources.Agendas provide an outline of discussion topics. The outline 42 the chairman or members of the meeting forgetting important topics to introduce. When all topics are thoroughly discussed, valuable decisions can be made a
19、s a group during the meeting instead of 43 making plans outside the meeting. Agendas provide an opportunity to 44 members through announcements about critical events, goals and tasks. Agendas enable members who might not have access to everyone in the organization to announce important news and hear
20、 news of interest. Without an agenda, announcements may not be communicated to all the members, which can result in 45 . Agendas also summarize 46 meetings to help members review the progress made and 47 the focus for the current meeting.Agendas generally mention items to be discussed for the next m
21、eeting. This gives the members a chance to 48 the discussion topics before the meeting. At many meetings, outspoken members are more than eager to participate while reserved individuals may be more 49 . However, knowing what is going to be discussed enables members to research topics of interests, 5
22、0 how the topics apply to their area and then make thoughtful, quality contributions at the meeting.An agenda prioritizes the most important activities, 51 productivity and focuses the members. The mere presence of an agenda creates a formal atmosphere and discourages members from 52 time. The agend
23、a prepares the chairman and encourages consistency (一致性) and organization. An agenda also sets the objectives and gives the members a goal. This organizes the thoughts of the members, direction of the meeting and the action after the meeting.A collection of past agendas is an ideal 53 for external a
24、nd internal institutions, organizations and the public for viewing the progress of your organization. The documentation helps the public and organization members assess 54 decisions, remind them of previous events or important figures and set feasible goals. The roll call also helps administration d

29、.（A）The composing career of Albert Roussel got off to a wayward start, and received one of its biggest advances from a lie.Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the
30、 family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano.Three years later Roussels grandfather died, and his mothers sister took him in. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to hi
31、s lifethe sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (军官学校学员), but still made time to study music.In the French Navy, while he was stationed on a cruiser based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the piano trios (三重奏) of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At th
32、e Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first public performance as a composer with the performance of his Andante for string trio and organ.That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to an outstanding conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussels frien
