To come up with the best ideas,you need a fresh mind.These travel and me-off benefits help everyone stay sharp. 17.Why does ABC Company offer the benefits to its employees?

Kite Surfing Its the exciting mixture of kite,board and waves.The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge:Yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century China when it was used as a simple means of transport. Catch a wind and youre moving up,down and across the surf.“Its always exciting.Youd jump 5 feet or 35 feet.You never know if youre going to go up in the air,and your heart is just going boom,boom,boom.” Coasteering It is by far the best activity and the event that everyone is still talking about.This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route.You climb,dive and swim from one place to another.With coasteering,you dont have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力)aid will keep you floating when you are in the water. Sky Diving Traditional parachuting(跳伞)doesnt sound risky enough.So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment. Mountain Biking Its been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain.Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road,often over rough land,using specially adapted mountain bikes.Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes,but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.

Everything changed during a triathlon that seemed like so many others she had conquered.As a professional athlete,Jamie Whitmore was used to suffering,but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer. After a friend recommended she go to the University of California,San Francisco,Whitmore took his advice and was quickly admitted.What doctors found during surgery shocked them all: Whitmore had spindle cell sarcoma,a soft tissue tumor that can start in the bone,and the tumor was wrapped around her sciatic nerve and touching several vital organs.They couldnt cut it out for fear of bursting the tumor. When she heard the diagnosis for the first time,Whitmore said time stood still.“I couldnt breathe.They were talking about treatment and I just started crying and saying I dont want to die.” Finally,the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor.Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a grueling two-month recovery.When she began to feel sick again,Whitmore was certain her cancer was back.Instead,doctors gave her unexpected news: She was pregnantwith twins.“That was a whole other freak-out,” Whitmore recalls. Jamie Whitmore isnt used to slowing down.She has never met a challenge she couldnt overcome,whether it was an XTERRA mountain bike raceor cancer.Today,Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free.Shes competing again,and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics,nine world titles,and has set two world records.She travels as a motivational speaker when shes not spending time with her sons.Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike.And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet.People with two good legs have fallen short of that task!You just cant give up.” 【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。美国著名运动员 Jamie Whitmore 在事业巅峰时期不幸罹患癌症, 但是她没有被病魔击倒,经过积极的治疗和康复最终得以重返赛场。 24.Why couldnt the doctors cut out the tumor at first? A.Because Jamie was against the plan. B.Because Jamie was pregnant with twins. C.Because it was developing too quickly.

B.Ashamed and regretful. C.Annoyed and frightened. D.Astonished and inspired. 答案 A 解析推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可知,刚刚得知自己患上癌症的时候,Jamie 很难过也很害怕,故 选 A 项。 26.The underlined word “freak-out” refers to .

A nutritious diet while ensuring overall well being,helps to maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI),reduces the risk of several debilitating diseases like cancer,cardiovascular ailments,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.Thus a nutritious and healthy diet is important in the prevention and cure of various diseases. There are several health conditions that can be caused or aggravated (加重)by the food we eat.However,there are also several foods that you can include in your diet to help prevent or treat diseases.It is simplest to draw up a balanced diet chart as this will ensure that you get all the nutrients you require on a regular basis.A nutrition diet chart is a diet chart that helps you to keep a track of your nutritional diet requirements and is a very useful tool when drawing up a personalized diet plan.
