Last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the ice because of climate change. I decided to do a __36__ swim underneath Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on this earth.
When we got up to the small lake underneath the summit of Mt. Everest, I prepared myself in __37__ ways, for this swim would be so difficult. I put on my iPod, listened to some music, got myself as __38__ as possible and then I __39__ myself into that water. I swam as __40__ as I could for the first hundred meters. Afterwards I __41__ the huge problem on my hands. My fingers were __42__ the size of sausages because—you know, we're made partially of water—when water freezes it __43__. I then could barely breathe, began to __44__ and even threw up in the water. It all happened so quickly. I don't know why, but I went __45__. Luckily, the water was quite shallow, and I was able to push myself __46__ the bottom of the lake. I've heard it said that drowning is the most __47__ death you can have.

This is the time to swim with real __54__.”
I can't tell how good and __55__ I felt when I swam to the other side two days later. But I learned a very, very important lesson there on Mt. Everest: just because something worked in the past so well, it doesn't mean it's going to work in the future.

请阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Lisbon to Sintra Overview
Sintra is 25km to the west of Lisbon. We strongly discourage driving to Sintra, as the narrow hill roads are not designed for the heavy tourist traffic and there is virtually no car parking once there. There are bus services to Sintra, but the journey times are longer than by train and the locations of the bus stations are not as convenient as the train stations.
The trains to Sintra are operated by the national train company of Portugal. There are two rail routes between Lisbon to Sintra, both equally useful for tourists. These services are：
1) Rossio Station to Sintra
2) Oriente station to Sintra, via Areeiro, Entrecampos, and Sete Rios stations
The Rossio service is the one typically used by most visitors, as it departs from the historic centre of Lisbon. The train departing from Oriente station is generally used by those visitors travelling onward to Sintra, as this route is closer to the airport, the main bus stations and train station.
As the Lisbon to Sintra railway is an urban route, tickets and seats cannot be pre­booked, but there is no real need as there is usually plenty of free seats. Due to the popularity of Sintra there can be long queues at Rossio station for tickets, our advice is always start a trip to Sintra as early in the day as possible.
All of Lisbon's train stations are considered as being in the same fare zone, so no matter the departing station the fare to Sintra will always be the same. A single from Lisbon to Sintra passes through four fare zones and costs 2.15/1.10 (adult/child). There are no reductions for a return ticket, and the return fare will be the price of two singles.
(　　)56. To visit Sintra, travelers are advised to ________．
A. go there by train for safety reasons caused by narrow hill roads
B. take a bus there as there is a lack of car parking for self­drivers
C. book tickets beforehand in order to secure a seat on the train
D. set out early if taking Rossio route for fear of long ticket time
(　　)57. If two parents with a child start from Lisbon airport for a day's visit to Sintra and then come back by train, they will ________．
A. take the Oriente route and pay 10.8 for the fare
B. take the Rossio route and pay 10.8 for the fare
C. take the Oriente route and pay 16.2 for the fare
D. take the Rossio route and pay 16.2 for the fare
B
We've all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 am—and, as we know, “the early bird catches the worm.”
But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share? And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualised and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life?
For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening­oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright­eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.
Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self­directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they're less likely to be depressed, drink or smoke.
Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night­time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning types—and a little bit wealthier.
Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material? Don't set your alarm for 5 am just yet. As it turns out, overhauling(大修) your sleep times may not have much effect.
“If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader，” says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin(褪黑激素). “Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequences，” Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose(葡萄糖)—which can cause weight gain.
(　　)58. What does the author do in the first three paragraphs?
A. raising the problem—analyzing the problem—solving the problem
B. leading in the topic—challenging a viewpoint—discussing about the topic
C. presenting author's viewpoint—providing supporting proofs—making a conclusion
D. introducing a viewpoint—raising the question—presenting author's viewpoint
(　　)59. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph?
A. Morning types are more conservative but more optimistic.
B. To beat night­time people, ask them to do math calculation in the morning.
C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.
D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.
(　　)60. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support?
A.
