We all remember the first adventure novel where for the first time our imaginations were lit by whispers of buried treasure，lost worlds，and faraway jungles.As Jane Eyre says："It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility：they must have action；and they will make it if they cannot find it."
Luckily，here are some of the best adventure books，which might make the act of finding action easier for you!Click on the book name for detailed information.
Jawsby Peter Benchley
The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg's blockbuster movie﹣which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975.Jaws is the story of three men's quest to kill a human﹣eating great white shark.It's a high﹣stakes adventure on the sea，which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined.
Childen of the Cometby Donald Moffitt
In the far future，a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living.But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets﹣and humans on starships﹣appear on the scene？This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense，as our young hero，Torris，tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice.
Children of the Apesby Edgar Rice Burroughs
This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle.Named Tarzan，the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts：the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans.
Raptor Redby Robert T.Bakker
Unlike any other book out there，Raptor Red is told entirely from the third﹣person point of view of Raptor Red，a female Utahraptor.Robert T.Bakker，the author，expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period to bring a prehistoric Earth to life as Raptor Red struggles to survive in a dinosaur﹣eat﹣dinosaur world.

Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China's first Olympic gold in the men's snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics.By cleanly stomping back﹣to﹣back 1800 tricks，the teenager haslandedthe biggest prize so far in his young career.The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport，which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck，the 17﹣year﹣old described his superb Olympic debut（首次亮相）as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile."This feels so surreal that I've finally accomplished what I've dreamed of since I was little，"said Su.
Over the past four years，Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence（杰出）the sport has ever seen.When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event，Su was an unknown qualifier，who didn't even make the final runs.Just over two years later，Su is the name on everyone's lips at the venue's Olympic debut，drawing the whole nation's attention to the sport he loves.
"The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding，"Su said，when asked about the secret to his success. "In snowboarding，I feel like I can show my own style and creativity.Every time I ride my board，it's always a joyful moment.I hope through my experience，I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport."
Su，a former child actor who featured in action movies，said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs，even beyond his athletic career."I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting，"said Su，who turns 18 on Friday."I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting.But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift."

From childhood to adulthood，you go through a lot of changes—jobs，regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go.But what about who you are？As you grow older，does your personality change？
Personality is the pattern of thoughts，feelings and behaviors unique to a person.People always think of personality as fixed.But according to psychologists，that's not how it works. "Personality is developing.It's not just something that you're stuck with and can't get over，" said Brent Roberts，a psychologist at the University of Illinois.
That's not to say that you're a different person each day you wake up.In the short term，change can be nearly impossible to see，Roberts told Live Science.Longitudinal studies，in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years，suggest that our personality is actuallystablein the short term.
But those years add up，throughout which our personality is still changing，but slowly，Roberts said. "It's something that's unnoticeable，" he added.You don't feel it on that five﹣to﹣10﹣year time period，but in the long term，it becomes obvious.In 1960，psychologists surveyed over 440，000 high school students—around 5% of all students in the country at that time.The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional situations to how well and effectively they got work done.Fifty years later，researchers tracked down 1，952 of these former students and gave them the same survey.The results found that in their 60s，participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers.
Some people might change less than others，but in general，the maturity（成熟）principle goes for everyone.That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves—how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn't change as much as our overall change in personality，because everyone else is changing right along with you. "It has been proved that the self﹣control of a 30﹣year﹣old is higher than a 20﹣year﹣old，" Donnellan said. "At the same time，people who are more self﹣controlled at 18 are also possibly more self﹣controlled at age 30."
8. What does the writer think of personality？
A．It changes obviously from day to day.
B．It is fixed since you were born.
C．It works when we meet difficulties.
D．It is what makes you different from others.
9. What does the underlined word "stable" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．not easily upset.
B．not likely to change.
C．easy to change.
D．difficult to destroy.
10. How does the writer support his idea？
A．By providing research results.
B．By stating arguments.
C．By explaining causes.
D．By giving examples.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Everyone Has a Unique Personality.
B．We Grow Older but Change Less.
C．Self﹣control Makes All the Difference.
D．Our Personality Changes as We Get Older.
People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations.A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020.This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn，the scientist who first noticed it.Flynn was initially confused by his discovery.It took millions of years for the brain to evolve.How could it improve so rapidly over just a few decades？
The answer is largely that people were becoming better nourished and mentally stimulated.Just as muscles need food and exercise to grow strong，the brain also needs the right nutrients and activity to develop.Kids today are much less likely to be malnourished（營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良的）than they were in past decades，and more likely to go to school.Yet there is no room for satisfaction.In poor and middle﹣income countries，many children are still too ill﹣fed to reach the cognitive potential.
The world grows enough food，but several obstacles stop nutrients getting into young brains.One is war.Families sheltering around cannot risk out to plant or harvest，and some governments intentionally starve certain regions into submission.Another is disease.Hungry children fall sick more often，and the energy they spend battling bugs cannot be devoted to growing brains.Poverty is also a big part of the problem.But global data from UNICEF，an aid agency，show that although half the children with very restricted diets（including no more than two food groups）are indeed from poor families，the other half are not.Other factors，such as poor eating habits，are to blame as well.Research about how to overcome the obstacles is needed.
Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as people entrust（委托）their thinking to artificial intelligence.To assume this would be as foolish as betting 100 years ago that the invention of the car would make it unnecessary to walk.In the workplace，human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other.And brains are for the joy of thinking，as well as earning money.Steven Pinker of Harvard University calls human intelligence "a tailwind（順風(fēng)）in life"，helping people adapt rationally to new challenges or a changing environment.For a modest price，the next generation can have a stronger tailwind.It would not only be wrong to refuse them the tailwind.It would be stupid.
12. What can we learn about the Flynn Effect？
A.Average IQs have risen fast in the past decades.
B.Intelligence has been stable across generations.
C.People now are as intelligent as their ancestors.
D.Better education leads to improved physical health.
13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean？
A.The Flynn Effect has reached its peak.
B.Global problems continue despite IQ gains.
C.Society values human intelligence less.
D.Malnutrition is merely a result of poverty.
14. What does the author think of artificial intelligence？
A.Useless.
B.Unique.
C.Beneficial.
D.Ineffective.
15. What is the best title for the passage？
A.Stages of IQ Development
B.Secrets to Rising IQs Worldwide
C.Insights Into Global IQ Trend
D.Influence of the Flynn Effect

Speed reading is a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques.16 Here're some efficient speed reading techniques.
Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word.17This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed.Keep in mind that you don't need to read every single word to understand the sentence's overall meaning.
Cover words you've already read with a card.When you're reading，your eyes can move back to earlier words.These are typically short habitual movements that don't improve understanding or speed.Use a card to cover words right after you've read them.18
Move your eyes less as you read.While reading，your eyes：move，stopping on some words and skipping others.However，you can only comprehend what you're reading when your eyes stop moving.Learning to move your eyes less can help you read faster.So try staring at one line at a time without gliding your eyes over the words.
19Track your progress by timing yourself daily，or each time you.do a speed reading exercise.Not only does trying to beat your best speed motivate you，but it can also give you a goal to work towards.
Set obtainable goals to improve your speed reading.Aim to work on n yours pee reading daily by completing speed reading exercises .200 to 250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone 12 or older.20At 450 words per minute，you're reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points.It typically takes 2 to 4 weeks to double your reading speed，so be patient with yourself and keep trying.
A.Point to the words you're reading on the page.
B.So，how do you learn and master this amazing skill？
C.Time your reading speed so you can track your progress.
D.Some readers sound out every word they read in their heads.
E.This way，you can train yourself not to look back at previous sentences.
F.300 words per minute is the reading speed of the average college student.
G.Reading can seem like such a chore，especially because it can take so long.

My interest in marathon（馬拉松）reflects my21﹣my life must have purpose，and I want to see success in everything I join in.For every race，I aim to22.And for a long time，I stuck to this idea.Even when life was hard and I could hardly breathe，I pushed on，23to settle for less.
But last summer，I tore a ligament（韌帶）in my knee.The recovery was a real 24and out of reach.The doctor told me that coming back to long﹣distance running was unlikely，but that didn't stop me.I wouldn't let the injury（傷?。?/span>25me.After months of hard work，I felt ready to race again，and that drive to win kept 26me.

Truly，running has changed me.While I still want to 33myself，I no longer feel the need to 34anything to myself or anyone else.Even though I didn't get first place，I've grown stronger，gained more 35，and become kinder to myself.
