一、阅读理解题
This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. You don't have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin.
◆Wake up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, lean forward (前俯) until you feel sore (酸痛的) in your back. It will use up 10 calories.
◆Start with soup
Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
◆An apple or more a day
Apples are full of fiber (纤维素) and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.

Every time you use the cellphone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories.

Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: "First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier."
Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. "Overweight" means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. "Inactive" means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. "Active" refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. "Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories." Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. "Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger," said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. "These are really important in order to prevent injuries," Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
(1) Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important
A．It can make the teenagers grow taller.
B．It can help teenagers become healthier.
C．It can help to burn up calories.
D．It can increase teenagers' strength.
(2) What can we learn from the passage
A．Active people always have a high fitness level.
B．Overweight people always take more exercise.
C．Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.
D．Keeping fit means changing teenagers' lifestyle.
(3) In order to prevent injuries, you should do some exercises.
A．walking B．stretching and bending
C．riding D．weight-training
(4) What is the best title for the passage
A．Doing exercises B．Teenagers' Fitness
C．Different Lifestyles D．Overweight Teenagers
What's your opinion on spicy food Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili (辣椒) in their dinner while others can't get enough of it.
Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds, too. But the latest study has found that a person's love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else.
"We have always assumed that the liking drives intake—we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits (特点) with intake of chili peppers," said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.
But before you look at the study, you should first know that "spicy" is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people's longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.
In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given cups of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes chili burn, mixed into them.
By comparing the answers to the questionnaires and what participants said about the spicy water, researchers found that those who were most inclined to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.
Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. "It's not that it doesn't burn as badly; it's that you actually learn to like the burn," Hayes explained.
(1) What's the meaning of the underlined word "loathe" in the second paragraph
A．Dislike. B．Fear. C．Put up with. D．Adapt to.
(2) What Professor John Hayes said means .
A．the love of chili is related to childhood experiences
B．cultural influences affect our taste buds
C．we eat what we like and we like what we eat
D．that eating chili is related to our personality is ignored by us
(3) What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study
A．What we eat actually helps to develop our personality.
B．Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.
C．Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.
D．People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.
(4) What's the main idea of the passage
A．His or her parents' diets decide on his or her personality.
B．The latest study shows whether a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on his or her personality.
C．His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality.
D．His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality.
It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu (an island in Canada) with my church to serve the military families. At first, I heard this and thought, "You are asking an eleven-year-old in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people " Of course, I responded with a refusal, but my mom found a way to convince me to go.
When we were on the ferry to the island, a thousand thoughts were running through my head, such as "What am I going to do here " "Am I even going to be useful " and "Why am I even here " When we got to the island, I was asked to look after the kids. I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me. The first time I met the kids, I got to know them pretty well. They were all between the ages of four and six. Some of them stayed behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.
With those kids, I was very strict, but I still tried to be positive and keep a smile. After all, they were just innocent kids. In most of the time, I needed to help them with things like washing clothes, and setting tables. Even though they sounded dull, I enjoyed every second of them. One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool (打台球). I made friends with a few kids there. They were really easy to talk to. Some of the things we talked about were sports, food and video games.
Even though I was only at Malibu, Canada for one week, I feel like I made spiritual changes in some people's life. You don't have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone's life. In the end, it all comes down to the way you changed them. It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect. So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
(1) How did the author react when asked if he liked to serve the military families
A．He hardly believed it.
B．He was very confused about the decision.
C．He refused to accept it.
D．He was worried about the trip.
(2) As a volunteer, the author's main task on the island was .
A．to take care of kids there
B．to educate kids there
C．to make friends with kids there
D．to share his experiences with kids there.
(3) What can we know about the author's stay in Malibu
A．He found the kids very hard to deal with.
B．He didn't quite like the badly-behaved kids.
C．He managed to get along well with most kids.
D．He shared common hobbies with some kids.
(4) What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A．He regretted having taken the trip.
B．His spiritual changes in Malibu.
C．What he has learnt from the experience.
D．What to do to make a greater difference.
Why do you run Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason is, there's one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl's Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being. Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running:
1. Train for your level of fitness and your goals.
If you run for fitness and your goal is 30 minutes a day, that's cool. But if you are just starting out, you need to get there slowly.
2. Wear the right shoes for your feet.
You will hear lots of opinions about whether running shoes really help prevent injury and whether you should even wear them. And some of you may need a little added assistance from inserts (鞋垫).
3.
Be honest about how much sleep you need and stick to it. The cool runner is the one who wins the race. Sleep will get you there.
4. Fuel (给提供能量) your body right for running and recovery.
And after a workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients (营养物) to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into perfect shape for your run tomorrow.
5. Pay attention to pain.
When pain changes the way you run, stop running. And use dynamic rest (动态休息) to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet.
(1)
A．Try to find out what's going on and treat it.
B．Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night.
C．Running should be seen as fun rather than pain.
D．Don't run more miles than your body can deal with.
E．A good pre-run meal plan is one that keeps you stepping strong.
F．It is because of the health benefits, including lowering your risk of disease.
G．The right running shoes can help correct foot-movement problems that lead to injury.

It was coming up on Mother's Day, and he usually tried to make it "back home", but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, "I know what I will do. I'll send my mother some roses."
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to the girl in it. "How many roses can I get for five dollars " the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
"No. I have to buy roses," he said. "My mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because those are her favorite." He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Tom and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Tom was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Tom had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy's roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said, "OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars." The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out of the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Tom ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them delivered (递送) to his mother. After that, with relief (松了一口气) he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地).

8. 【答案】Dear Sam,
In reply to your last letter, I'm writing to give you a general account of my trip to the Dongbai Mountain with my friends last weekend.
It was a perfect day for hiking, with the sun shining mildly and clouds floating leisurely in the blue sky. As we went up along the trail, we could hear birds singing. Falling leaves, red, yellow and orange, danced gracefully in the air like colourful butterflies. The higher we climbed, the steeper it got. It was not long before we began to sweat. So we took a short break on a large rock, where we shared the snacks we had brought along. After that, we gathered our energy and went on in a determined manner. It was no easy work climbing such a high mountain, but the breath taking view on the top made it all worthwhile.
I've learned that there is no such thing as easy success. Only with determination and perseverance can we conquer difficulties.
Yours,

9. 【答案】Paragraph 1:
Tom stopped his car and followed the boy. He went up to a small monument and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. "Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret I didn't tell it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses, but why didn't I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret I didn't tell you I love you so much!"
Paragraph 2:
Tom went into the car in tears. His mother's home wasn't far from here, but he hadn't seen her for so long a time. He didn't have a talk with her and say how much he loved her for so long a time. He turned the car and drove towards the road quickly to the flower shop. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.
