Exercise helps to keep us in good health.Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week.Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day.So，getting 150 minutes every week is easy.
But what about those times when you are sick If you do not feel well，should you keep following your exercise habit Following are the answers from health experts.
Edward R．Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic.He and other experts have a general rule about exercising when you are sick.It is usually fine to exercise properly(not hard)，he explains，if your symptoms are all “above the neck”．These signs may include a runny nose，sneezing or a sore throat.
Geralyn Coopersmith，a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise，offers similar advice.However，both Coopersmith and Dr Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear “below the neck”．Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion，bad cough or pain in the stomach.
There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise.They include a higher than normal body temperature，a sense of feeling very tired，and widespread muscle pain.
Both Coopersmith and Dr Laskowski suggest listening to your body.If you feel really bad，take a break and let your body rest.If you don’t feel too bad，these experts both suggest cutting down the amount of exercise.For example，if you usually run，take a quick walk instead.
1．How long should people do exercise according to doctors

答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“However，both Coopersmith and Dr Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear ‘below the neck’．”可知，如果“脖子以下”出现了疾病症状，应暂停锻炼。故选A。

答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“If you feel really bad，take a break and let your body rest.If you don’t feel too bad，these experts both suggest cutting down the amount of exercise.”可知，Coopersmith 和 Laskowski博士建议人们锻炼要根据身体状况而决定。画线部分意思为“根据你的身体状况做决定”。故选C。

Doctors have a new weapon in the battle against obesity(过度肥胖)—a talking plate that tells people not to eat too quickly.The Mandometer monitors the amount of food left on the plate，and tells users，“Please eat more slowly.”
The￡1,500 Swedish device is to be used in a National Health Service plan to help hundreds of obese families lose weight.It comes in two parts—a scale placed under the plate and a small computer screen showing a graphic(图表) of the food gradually disappearing as the user eats.A red line on the screen shows the user’s eating speed，while a blue line shows a healthy rate.If the user eats too fast，the red line angles away from the blue one，warning him or her to ease off.If the lines deviate(偏离) too much，the computer voice comes on，and the screen flashes the message “Are you feeling full yet？” to remind users to think about whether they have had enough.
Britain has an increasingly serious obesity problem，with one in four adults and one in seven children classed as obese.After a recent trial using the device，experts believe teaching obese people to eat more slowly will help them know when they are full.Around 600 families with at least one obese parent and child (aged five or older) were targeted in the project by Bristol University，along with GPs and nurses.
Professor Julian Hamilton-Shield，who is leading the plan，says obese children and adolescents using the Mandometer ate from 12 to 15 percent less per meal at the end of the 12-month trial.Six months after they stopped using the device they still ate less，and continued to lose weight.“It will be a powerful tool to help families retrain their eating habits，” he says.
5．What does the red line on the screen show
A．A healthy rate of eating.
B．Too much food is left.
C．The user’s eating speed.
D．The user is full.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A red line on the screen shows the user’s eating speed，while a blue line shows a healthy rate.”可知答案。
6．The underlined phrase “ease off” is closest in meaning to “ ”．
A．become less tense
B．eat more slowly
C．remove gently and slowly
D．stop
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“A red line on the screen shows the user’s...If the user eats too fast，the red line angles away from the blue one”可知，如果用户吃得太快，超出了健康的速度，设备会提醒用户慢点吃。故选B。
7．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．25% of children are obese in Britain.
B．One in seven adults is obese in Britain.
C．Children using the Mandometer ate less after the trial.
D．Six months after the trial，obese people are still eating a lot.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...with one in four adults and one in seven children classed as obese.”可知A、B两项错误；根据第四段中的“Six months after they stopped using the device they still ate less，and continued to lose weight.”可知D项错误，故选C项。
8．What can we infer from the text
A．The device can help obese people form good eating habits.
B．Every family will have such a device soon.
C．This device is the best way to lose weight.
D．People will no longer worry about obesity.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It will be a powerful tool to help families retrain their eating habits.”可推知答案。
Ⅱ.七选五
The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you.Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds？ 1 And to help you keep your weight under control，you need some strategies.
Ask questions.When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets，ask as many questions as you can. 2 Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss
Get real. 3 Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations.Remember，large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy.Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.
4 To maintain your weight，you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn.Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.
Weigh yourself weekly.It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan，but don’t get on the scale every day.Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture. 5
A．Stay balanced.
B．Once a week is fine.
C．Stick with your healthy eating plan.
D．Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.
E．Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.
F．Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.
G．If so，you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.
1．答案 G

2．答案 E
解析 上文提到要尽可能多地问问题，接着后一句列举了一些问题，结合备选项可知，E项“了解详细可以帮助你为自己选择最好的饮食方案”符合题意。
3．答案 D
解析 根据后文“Don’t burden...”可知，不要让自己局限于不现实的期望中，要有现实性的目标，而D项很好地阐明了这一点。故选D。
4．答案 A
解析 根据后文可知，要保持体重就要做到摄入的热量和消耗的热量的平衡，而A项“Stay balanced.”就是对此的总述，故选A。
5．答案 B
解析 根据前一句“Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture.”可知，不用天天称体重，B项“一周一次就好”紧接上文且与本段主旨句相照应，故选B。Period 3 Grammar and usage [语法精练]

Playing tennis regularly could help keep people off death，but football，rugby and running may not help people to live longer，a study suggests.
A study followed more than 80,000 people for an average of nine years to find out if certain sports protected them against early death.It found that people who played racket sports regularly were the least likely to die over the study period，reducing their individual risk by 47 percent compared with people who did no exercise.Swimmers also reduced their chance of death by 28 percent，aerobics(有氧运动) fans by 27 percent and cyclists by 15 percent.Yet running appeared to have no impact at all on dying early，and neither did playing football or rugby.
Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports like tennis and squash(壁球)，which often involve clubs and organized activities outside of the game.It means that people often have larger social networks and tend to keep up activities into later life，both of which are proven to be good for health.
In contrast，people who play team sports often do not move onto a new sport once their teams break up for family or injury reasons.They become watchers rather than participants in their chosen activity.
The researchers found that playing racket sports was associated with a 56 percent lower risk from heart death.Similarly，swimmers lowered their heart disease or stroke risk by 41 percent，and people who took part in activities like aerobics，dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percent.But again running，football and rugby had no significant impact on heart deaths.
However，other experts argue that this study must not be misinterpreted as showing that running and football do not protect against heart disease.In this study both runners and footballers had a lower rate of death from heart disease.

Dear Editor，
As is known to all，plastic surgery is becoming more and more popular.Because it can improve our appearance.But I strongly hold the view that teenagers shouldn’t have plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery has many negative effects on teenagers.Firstly，caring about appearance too much will affect their studies.As a result，they can’t concentrate on their lessons.Secondly，teenagers are still growing and such surgery is likely to harm their health.Some teenagers had plastic surgery，which stopped them from returning to a normal life.Therefore，they regret having the surgery.
In a word，a teenager should keep away from plastic surgery，and use knowledge to build self-confidence.
Yours，

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Youth is a stressful time from friends to school to families，and stressful situations become common.The body can respond with faster breathing，a fast beating heart，tense muscles and drop of sweat.And teens who breathe polluted air appear to respond most strongly to stress，a new study shows.
Jonas Miller，a psychologist working at Stanford University，studied whether or how air pollution might affect the body’s response to stress.Miller’s team invited 144 teens to participate in a stressful test.Most of the kids lived in or near San Francisco，which has the worst air quality.
Before the test，the researchers used sensors to record heart rates and sweat levels for five minutes as the kids rested.Then as the test began，a researcher read aloud the beginning of a story and the kids had five minutes to make up an exciting ending to the story.They would have to memorize their ending and present it aloud to a judge.After finishing this task，the kids were asked to do math problems，which obviously was a harder task.If he or she made a mistake，the judge let the student start over.The whole time，sensors recorded heart rates and sweat levels.
Miller found all the students had similar heart rates and sweat levels at rest.But as the test got difficult，differences began to appear.Kids from places with more air pollution responded more strongly to stress and their heartbeats became irregular.They sweated more than teens who lived in cleaner places.
“The teens’ bodies were preparing to deal with possible challenges in the environment and such bodily responses to stress were linked to negative feelings，” Miller concludes.“Over time，” he says，“these responses can contribute to both physical and mental health problems.”
This study has proved the negative heath effects of air pollution among teenagers.Therefore，teenagers should try to avoid their exposure to air pollution.They should consider limiting their time outside during rush hour，especially on days when air pollution is particularly strong.

Ⅱ.七选五
The desire to be noticed by peers(同龄人) is a natural tendency.Your style—the way you dress up，the way you carry yourself，the trends you follow—plays a key role in helping you stand out from the others. 1 The following tips can help you.
Be yourself.
Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first-rate version of yourself？Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there can be only one you.Everyone has their own belief，their own way of thinking，their own experiences that shape their styles.However，self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing. 2
Keep an open mind.
Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective，understand others，find opportunities，and learn from others. 3 There are several styles that you should explore and determine which suits your own personality.Nobody knows what fashion you are enthusiastic about.But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.
Keep up with the recent trends.
Fashion is always changing. 4 As society changes，so does fashion.Changing trends reflect the changes in people’s taste.Similarly，your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life.Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your style.
Wear your confidence.
Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference to how you look.You can wear a very beautiful dress，but if you can’t carry it with confidence，it will not look good on you. 5 Don’t wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your friend is wearing it.Remember，it’s okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with it.
A．Also，it tells a lot about your personality.
B．What worked yesterday may not work today.
C．Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.
D．Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.
E．On the other hand，even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently.
F．It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend，and you can enjoy the ones you like.
G．Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a distinct style.
1．答案 G
解析 根据上文“Your style—the way you dress up，the way you carry yourself，the trends you follow—plays a key role in helping you stand out from the others.”以及下文给出的建议可知，G项“紧跟时尚潮流或穿昂贵的衣服，并不能帮你获得一种独特的风格”承上启下，符合语境，故选G。
2．答案 C
解析 根据上文“However，self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing.”并结合本段主题“Be yourself.”可知，模仿别人只会让你在人群中变成另一张脸，故选C。
3．答案 D
解析 根据上文“Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective，understand others，find opportunities，and learn from others.”并结合本段主题“Keep an open mind.”可知，保持开放的心态对定义你的风格很有帮助，故选D。
4．答案 B
解析 根据上文“Fashion is always changing”可知，B项“昨天起作用的今天可能行不通”承接上文，故选B。
5．答案 E
解析 根据本段小标题“Wear your confidence.”和空前一句可知，如果没有自信，即使华美的服饰也不一定能让你与众不同，E项“另一方面，即使是一件普通的衣服穿在自信的人身上也很好看”承接上文，故选E。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Our story begins at the John Burroughs Elementary School in Washington，D.C.The school’s kindergarten students are staying late today—an hour after classes normally end.The boys and girls are not seeking help with reading skills or mathematics.Instead，they are tasting kale，a vegetable that many of them are eating for the first time.
The school’s teacher Dionne Hammiel says her students have learned healthy eating habits from the program.She hopes they will keep a healthy diet for the rest of their lives.
The program is taught by young people like Karen Davison.She is a member of FoodCorps.The non-profit group gets money from the AmeriCorps National Service Program.Since the beginning of the school year，Ms Davison has spent each day in this Washington，D.C.classroom.She gives the kindergartners vegetables that many of them have never tasted.She teaches them where their food comes from and how they can choose to eat healthier meals.
FoodCorps was set up five years ago.It sends more than 180 young Americans to 500 schools across the United States.The young people teach students about nutrition and how they can eat healthy food both at school and at home.FoodCorps also works with other groups to plant vegetable gardens in schools and bring healthier food to stores—especially stores in cities.Many small urban stores often sell only packaged food.
Maddie Morales is a member of FoodCorps.She says the group’s work is especially important in the fight against childhood obesity—when a child has too much body fat.She notes that the child obesity rate in the United States is twice what it was 30 years ago.
1．Why are the school’s kindergarten students staying late
A．They are attending extra classes.
B．They are learning about eating healthily.
C．They are learning how to pick out fresh vegetables.
D．They are being punished because of their poor performance.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“Instead，they are tasting kale...for the first time.”和第二段第一句“The school’s teacher Dionne Hammiel says her students have learned healthy eating habits from the program.”可知，孩子们放学后还没走，是在学习健康饮食。
2．What do we know about FoodCorps
A．It makes money by selling healthy food.
B．It helps a lot in fighting against childhood obesity.
C．It teaches students how to plant healthy vegetables.

3．What can we infer from the text
A．Food sold in city stores is usually unhealthy.
B．Most of the children in the program are overweight.
C．Compared with healthy food，packaged food is cheaper.
D．The problem of overweight is getting worse in the United States.
答案 D

B
When we talk about positive thinking，we often use terms having to do with our hearts—open heart，pure heart or joyful heart.But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection，finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina(心绞痛)，a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen.Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns，including having positive expectations about recovery，were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic，according to the study.The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients’ questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack，heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes，however.There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study，including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation.Now，in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health，there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff，a fellow in the department of cardiology(心脏病学) at the Duke University Medical Center，told the Duke Chronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.
Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the word of the writer Anthony J．D’Angelo：“Smile，it is the key that fits the lock of everybody’s heart.”
4．How can people with angina get better according to the study
A．By expecting more.
B．By thinking positively.
C．By getting timely surgery.
D．By taking more exercise.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，杜克大学的一项新研究正在建立积极思考和心脏之间更紧密的联系，发现积极的态度可能对患有心绞痛的人有所帮助。故选B。
5．What can we learn from the text
A．Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B．People’s attitudes decide their overall health.
C．How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D．The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第四段中的“patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health”可知，一开始健康的患者更容易期望康复和恢复良好的健康。即人们的积极态度决定了他们的整体健康状况。故选B。
6．What may be Alexander Fanaroff’s next research
A．To explore how to improve patients’ attitudes.
B．To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C．To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D．To test if positive attitudes help with health.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients”可知，亚历山大·法纳罗夫下一步的研究是找到改善心脏病患者态度的方法。故选A。
7．What may be the best title for the text
A．Keep Positive to Get Rid of Illness
B．Angina，a Kind of Serious Condition
C．Depression，a Key Cause of Heart Attack
D．Positive Thinking Makes Hearts Healthier
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。D项“积极的思考使心脏更健康”符合文章第一段和全文的描述。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
It is back to school time in much of the world.Calm，easy mornings are replaced with busy，hurried ones.Children wake up early and get ready for school.Many parents are also getting ready for work，helping their children and preparing food for lunches. 1 .But that may be a big mistake for students.Whether at home，on the way to school or at school，eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades.
2 ？ The answer is yes.Experts at Healthy Children.org say that in the United States about 8 to 12 percent of all students in grade school (kindergarten through 8th grade) do not eat breakfast.By the time students are in high school (grades 9－12)，20 to 30 percent of them ignore the morning meal.
3 .This gives your body the energy it needs to think clearly and to remember what it learns.When it comes to giving the brain what it needs to work at its highest level，not all breakfasts are created equal.The best breakfast should include complex sugar that slowly release energy to the body. 4 .
A good breakfast is not just helpful for school-aged children. 5 .
A．Do many children hate breakfast
B．Some people ignore breakfast to save time
C．Lunches are also important for students’ health
D．Whole-grain bread and low-sugar cakes are examples
E．The best breakfast is a combination of sugar，protein and fat
F．Are there really many children who do not eat breakfast
G．We all may gain from eating something healthy in the morning
1．答案 B
解析 下文提示“但这对学生来说可能是个大错误”。B项“有些人为了节省时间不吃早餐”承接下文。下文中的that指的就是B项的内容，且下文中的a big mistake与该项中的ignore breakfast相吻合。故选B。
2．答案 F
解析 此空位于段落句首，是问句，应该在A/F项中选择。再根据下文内容“答案是肯定的。Healthy Children.org的专家说，在美国，大约8%到12%的学生(从幼儿园到八年级)不吃早餐”可知，F项“真的有那么多孩子不吃早餐吗”切题。故选F。
3．答案 E
解析 下文提示“这给你的身体提供了清晰思考和记住所学知识所需的能量”，E项“最好的早餐是糖、蛋白质和脂肪的结合”承接下文。下文中的This指代该项的内容。故选E。
4．答案 D
解析 上文提示“最好的早餐应该包含复合糖，它能缓慢地向身体释放能量”，D项“全麦面包和低糖蛋糕就是例子”承接上文。故选D。
5．答案 G
解析 上文提示“一顿好的早餐不仅只是对学龄儿童有帮助”，G项“我们都可以从早上吃一些健康的食物中获益”承接上文。该项中的We all和上文中的not just相吻合。故选G。Period 6 Extended reading & Other parts [语言运用]

He also takes time to help other seniors new to the gym learn how to use the weightlifting machines.“He’s just a friendly soul.He will go to the other elderly members and show them how to use the machines，” Seaman shared in a post on the gym’s Facebook page.“Someone like him always encourages others to keep it up and include fitness in their life，” the post reads.“Seeing him work out three times a week in his overalls brightens our day！”
