Unit 2 Section Ⅰ Reading and Thinking
Ⅰ.阅读理解

Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，” he said. Josh set a fund raising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn't shake his faith. He devoted his time to raising money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbours, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.
Josh's fund raising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.
“I didn't care how long it took me，” said Josh. “I would raise $100,000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh's house offered to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $134,000 before the deadline. “The__momentum_just_kept_going,_and we decided to do more，” he said. “Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new town houses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.
Next year, the 17 year old kid will head to college in British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province. As an 11 year old kid when starting fund raising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.

You're watching your favorite TV show when a commercial (广告) break starts. First you see an ad for candy. Then there's one for fast food. In response, your stomach growls (咕咕直叫). Suddenly, all you can think about is how much you need a snack. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada studied the effects of junk food ads. The researchers examined the effects of advertising junk food on more than 6,000 kids through TV commercials and other types of media. They found that kids made unhealthy food and drink choices as quickly as 30 minutes after seeing the ads.
“There is too much unhealthy food advertising out there, which appears repeatedly，” says Behnam Sadeghirad. He's one of the researchers who led the study. “This is dangerous for younger children because they lack self discipline and don't know the advertised foods are healthy or not.”
Food and drink ads are everywhere, from TV to the panies want to make sure you know about their products. They spend nearly $1.8 billion a year on food ads aimed at kids, according to a report. The Nielsen Company tracked the number of food ads that kids saw in 2015. It found that kids watched nearly 12 food ads on TV each day. Most of these ads weren't for healthy foods. In fact, on average, kids saw only one ad per week for fruit and vegetables. Instead, most of the ads were for fast food, candy and sugary drinks.
Jennifer Harris, a professor at the University of Connecticut, says this is a big part of the problem. “Unhealthy foods are not things we should be encouraging kids to eat more often，” says Harris. “But unfortunately those are the products being advertised to them the most.”
Health experts say it's OK to treat yourself to a cookie once in a while. But what can you do to keep from having an unhealthy snack every time you see an ad for junk food Harris says it's important to learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads. “What kids can do is notice what's going on，” says Harris. “Think about, ‘Are these the products that are really good for my physical health？’”

Try to let them see that the food choices they are making will help them feel so much better.

Soda (苏打汽水), while sweet and inexpensive, may not be worth drinking. Sugary drinks can have many bad health effects, including a 26% greater risk of diabetes (糖尿病) for regular soda drinkers. And men drinking one can of sugary drinks per day have a 20% higher risk of having or dying from a heart attack than those who rarely drink them. The health effects of drinking soda also affect pre school children, heightening their chances of becoming obese at a very young age. According to Harvard School of Public Health, one in three children in America are obese or overweight, and childhood obesity has tripled (增至三倍) in the last 30 years. Should government get people to reduce their drinking of soda and sugary drinks due to health effects
People in San Francisco were given the opportunity to voice their opinion on Proposition E, which suggested a soda tax (税). The tax, which needed to pass with a two thirds majority, would have provided money for health and physical education programs, and the hope was that it would also discourage citizens from buying unhealthy drinks. Although San Francisco's Proposition E failed to be passed, Berkeley citizens succeeded in passing the nation's first ever sugary drink tax on their similar Measure D.
People who were for the tax hoped that the price of sugary drinks would discourage people from buying them. Mexico recently introduced a tax on drinks, which, though not well received by the public, was successful in reducing the amount of soda bought. After the tax was put into effect, Mexico's biggest soda production company's sales dropped by 6.4%.
People who were against the tax were concerned about their right to buy whatever drinks they wanted, without any additional taxes. Those who also disagreed were the market, the bar, and soda industries, which would possibly lose money from reduced sales of these drinks because of the added cost. And although the Proposition E tax money was supposed to go to city op erated programs, some citizens were doubtful about how well this plan would have been carried out.

Everybody, at some point in his or her life, has experienced setbacks. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting lower marks even after hard work. How you get back up after being hit makes you successful.
Once, a young schoolboy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then ran to school, and then ran for the joy of running. Later in college he was in the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run—this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration (鼓舞人心的人) for many, and his story is brilliant evidence to show how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled on one, to the degree that death seems the preferable option.
5．What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn
A．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.
B．There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.
C．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.
D．Glenn could live a normal life with the upper half of his body.
6．What do we know about Glenn
A．Glenn practiced walking in hospital.
B．Glenn won first place in the marathon.
C．Glenn organized a track team in college.
D．Glenn inspires people with his moving story.
7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Strengthen Determination
B．Stand up after Failure
C．Go after Dreams
D．Face Difficulty Bravely

Most parents realize that a diet of soda and candy isn't a healthy choice, but what should they do if their children are picky eaters who prefer sugary food but refuse fruit and vegetables or just skip meals There are ways to help kids eat healthily and avoid involving many fights at the dinner table.
Jane E. Brody wrote an article for The New York Times in August 2015. The title of the article is “Another Approach to Raising Healthy Eaters”. In this article, she shares her experience as a child who was a picky eater. She provides some useful views for parents who have children that are very picky about what foods they will eat.
It turns out that demanding that a child eat something doesn't really work well. The command to “clean your plate” can end up teaching children that it is normal to continue eating after their stomach is full. This habit may continue into adulthood, and can lead to overweight bodies or food disorders.
Instead, parents can try other methods that might actually influence their children to try new foods. One very simple method is to offer your children a small amount of newly introduced food. A large amount can seem intimidating (令人生畏的). One or two bites might feel less scary to try.
Another really easy thing parents can do is to read the ingredients (成分) on food instructions. You might be surprised by the kinds of food that have some form of sugar added to them. One way to be a healthier eater is to reduce the amount of sugar a person eats. Read the ingredient labels, and pick a product that doesn't have extra sugar added. Start making your own type of your child's favorite foods at home instead of buying processed ones, which can enhance their interest in home made food. Consider organic foods over the popular, well known foods that are full of sugar.
Sometimes, all it takes to get a child to eat healthily is to offer a food in a different way. Kids that hate raw cauliflower (菜花) might eat it after the vegetable is roasted. It is possible to turn a head of cauliflower into rice. It looks the same and your child may not notice the difference between it and real rice.
1．What do we know about Jane E. Brody
A．She wrote a book to help kids eat less.
B．Her article for The New York Times was written in winter.
C．She shared some methods with parents having picky children.
D．Her experience as a picky eater once made her parents annoyed.
2．The command to clean one's plate usually ________.
A．doesn't work at all
B．leads to children's stomachache
C．ends up with children's hating eating
D．gets children into a bad eating habit
3．What can parents do if they want their children to try a new food
A．Offer a small amount of it.
B．Give all of the food to them.
C．Tell them the ingredients in it.
D．Reduce the amount of sugar in it.
4．Which of the following can help your kid become a healthy eater
A．Making him eat up all food.
B．Only eating organic foods.
C．Buying processed foods.
D．Eating less sugar.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50 kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
5．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
6．What advantage does race walking have over running
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
7．What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
8．Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking
A．Skeptical. B．Objective.
C．Tolerant. D．Conservative.

In 2013, Gabby Frost founded Buddy Project when she was 15. At that time, her best friend had been diagnosed (诊断) with a mental health condition, and that was the first time she was made aware of what mental illness was. She wanted to learn more and develop a good support system for her.
Mental illness affects tens of millions of people in the United States each year, yet only half receive treatment, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. Buddy Project's website says the service is not a substitute for therapy (治疗) or other types of mental health care, and it directs people to resources for further help.
Since founding the organization as a high school student, Frost has helped more than 200,000 participants find a new friend. On the day when Buddy Project was launched, she used her powerful social media presence to attract nearly 3,000 participants. “This was around the time when teens really began talking about mental health and found a supportive community online to talk about it，” she said.
One of the biggest social barriers she had to jump over was that people didn't view her seriously because she was a 15 year old girl, and even now, she's still a young woman. “Sometimes it's frustrating because people don't think what I do is needed or they don't think I'm professional，” she said. “Most people are blown away that a 20 year old girl is running this and that it's one person doing this but not a whole team. I'm just lucky that I've found a support system that has been able to help my mom and me with the project.”
9．Why did Gabby Frost set up Buddy Project
A．To treat her mental disease.
B．To know what causes mental illness.
C．To help her friend to fight the mental disease.
D．To cure those with mental disease.
10．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．Americans pay little attention to mental health.
B．Many Americans have trouble with mental health.
C．Buddy Project provides financial aid for patients.
D．Buddy Project can cure those with mental disease.
11．What problem did Frost face
A．She couldn't get support from her mother.
B．She couldn't help so many patients at a time.
C．She wasn't able to attract enough participants.
D．She wasn't thought well of because of her age.
12．How do most people feel about young Frost's running the project alone
A．Completely defeated. B．Totally convinced.
C．Strongly impressed. D．Fully satisfied.

Should government get people to reduce their drinking of soda and sugary drinks due to health effects
People in San Francisco were given the opportunity to voice their opinion on Proposition E, which suggested a soda tax (税). The tax, which needed to pass with a two thirds majority, would have provided money for health and physical education programs, and the hope was that it would also discourage citizens from buying unhealthy drinks. Although San Francisco's Proposition E failed to be passed, Berkeley citizens succeeded in passing the nation's first ever sugary drink tax on their similar Measure D.
People who were for the tax hoped that the price of sugary drinks would discourage people from buying them. Mexico recently introduced a tax on drinks, which, though not well received by the public, was successful in reducing the amount of soda bought. After the tax was put into effect, Mexico's biggest soda production company's sales dropped by 6.4%.
People who were against the tax were concerned about their right to buy whatever drinks they wanted, without any additional taxes. Those who also disagreed were the market, the bar, and soda industries, which would possibly lose money from reduced sales of these drinks because of the added cost. And although the Proposition E tax money was supposed to go to city op erated programs, some citizens were doubtful about how well this plan would have been carried out.

Everybody, at some point in his or her life, has experienced setbacks. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting lower marks even after hard work. How you get back up after being hit makes you successful.
Once, a young schoolboy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then ran to school, and then ran for the joy of running. Later in college he was in the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run—this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration (鼓舞人心的人) for many, and his story is brilliant evidence to show how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled on one, to the degree that death seems the preferable option.

A．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.
B．There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.
C．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.

6．What do we know about Glenn
A．Glenn practiced walking in hospital.
B．Glenn won first place in the marathon.
C．Glenn organized a track team in college.
D．Glenn inspires people with his moving story.
7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Strengthen Determination

Most parents realize that a diet of soda and candy isn't a healthy choice, but what should they do if their children are picky eaters who prefer sugary food but refuse fruit and vegetables or just skip meals There are ways to help kids eat healthily and avoid involving many fights at the dinner table.
Jane E. Brody wrote an article for The New York Times in August 2015. The title of the article is “Another Approach to Raising Healthy Eaters”. In this article, she shares her experience as a child who was a picky eater. She provides some useful views for parents who have children that are very picky about what foods they will eat.
It turns out that demanding that a child eat something doesn't really work well. The command to “clean your plate” can end up teaching children that it is normal to continue eating after their stomach is full. This habit may continue into adulthood, and can lead to overweight bodies or food disorders.
Instead, parents can try other methods that might actually influence their children to try new foods. One very simple method is to offer your children a small amount of newly introduced food. A large amount can seem intimidating (令人生畏的). One or two bites might feel less scary to try.
Another really easy thing parents can do is to read the ingredients (成分) on food instructions. You might be surprised by the kinds of food that have some form of sugar added to them. One way to be a healthier eater is to reduce the amount of sugar a person eats. Read the ingredient labels, and pick a product that doesn't have extra sugar added. Start making your own type of your child's favorite foods at home instead of buying processed ones, which can enhance their interest in home made food. Consider organic foods over the popular, well known foods that are full of sugar.
Sometimes, all it takes to get a child to eat healthily is to offer a food in a different way. Kids that hate raw cauliflower (菜花) might eat it after the vegetable is roasted. It is possible to turn a head of cauliflower into rice. It looks the same and your child may not notice the difference between it and real rice.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50 kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.

7．What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
8．Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking

In 2013, Gabby Frost founded Buddy Project when she was 15. At that time, her best friend had been diagnosed (诊断) with a mental health condition, and that was the first time she was made aware of what mental illness was. She wanted to learn more and develop a good support system for her.
Mental illness affects tens of millions of people in the United States each year, yet only half receive treatment, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. Buddy Project's website says the service is not a substitute for therapy (治疗) or other types of mental health care, and it directs people to resources for further help.
Since founding the organization as a high school student, Frost has helped more than 200,000 participants find a new friend. On the day when Buddy Project was launched, she used her powerful social media presence to attract nearly 3,000 participants. “This was around the time when teens really began talking about mental health and found a supportive community online to talk about it，” she said.
One of the biggest social barriers she had to jump over was that people didn't view her seriously because she was a 15 year old girl, and even now, she's still a young woman. “Sometimes it's frustrating because people don't think what I do is needed or they don't think I'm professional，” she said. “Most people are blown away that a 20 year old girl is running this and that it's one person doing this but not a whole team. I'm just lucky that I've found a support system that has been able to help my mom and me with the project.”
9．Why did Gabby Frost set up Buddy Project
A．To treat her mental disease.
B．To know what causes mental illness.
C．To help her friend to fight the mental disease.
D．To cure those with mental disease.
10．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．Americans pay little attention to mental health.
B．Many Americans have trouble with mental health.
C．Buddy Project provides financial aid for patients.
D．Buddy Project can cure those with mental disease.
11．What problem did Frost face
A．She couldn't get support from her mother.
B．She couldn't help so many patients at a time.
C．She wasn't able to attract enough participants.
D．She wasn't thought well of because of her age.
12．How do most people feel about young Frost's running the project alone
A．Completely defeated. B．Totally convinced.
C．Strongly impressed. D．Fully satisfied.
