Recently, binge (暴食) is becoming a major health problem in America.
“As soon as I came home I’d throw down my backpack and just start going through the refrigerator and start eating. Sandwiches, cookies, candy bars—I’d just continuously eat until I went to bed,” says Matt Wymer, 18. Matt was a binge eater.
“You know we start at a very young age. You fall and hurt your knees. Your mother may say, ‘Oh, here, we’ll go to get some ice cream, that’ll make you feel better.’ Or when you go to the doctor, something bad happens: The doctor says, ‘Oh, here’s something that’s comforting’ and you get a candy,” says Marilyn Tanner, a doctor.
Matt looked for comfort because he was always laughed at because of his weight.
“There’d be days when I’d come and pick him up from school and he’d get in the car and start crying before I asked him anything,” says Cathy Wymer, Matt’s mother.
“I’d just feel better after I ate a lot,” says Matt.
Experts say the first step of treatment for binge eaters is to help them find other ways, besides food, to feel better. “There are about five basic ways: You write, you talk, you cry, you exercise or you laugh,” says Genie Burnett, a psychologist.
With the help of his doctor, Matt started a diet and a daily workout. He’s lost more than 150 pounds, he’s healthier and he says he’d be more confident.

A. Matt is very busy at home every day

A. he had nothing to eat at the moment
B. his mother didn’t allow him to eat anything
C. he was really much too hungry just then
D. he was laughed at by others at school
( )54. Matt has become more confident by __________.
A. working hard at school B. talking and laughing a lot
C. losing some weight D. reading and writing a lot

People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others.
Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people.
People’s thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them. There are many reasons why newspapers and publishers actually publish people’s thoughts, but the major reason is to give information.
With the introduction of newer technologies, new ways now appear to share people’s ideas quickly. Blogs are just one way.
People can now let the world know their hopes, dreams and day to day activities through a web blog. Better than that, many sites allow customers to create their own web blog for free.
The word blog comes from the words web and log. Slogging is the term that is used to refer to activities relating to a blog, such as creating it, updating and adding content(内容). And the blogger is the person who puts that content on the blog.
Blogs can be very powerful. Blogs can change the world by changing the opinions of large numbers of people around the world.
( )56. People who are shy would like to express their thoughts by ________.
A. writing B. reading C. speaking D. thinking
( )57. According to the passage, the major reason that newspapers publish people’s thoughts
is to _______
A. make money B. make them well-known
C. give information D. let people relax
( )58. The latest and quickest way for you to share your thought with others is __________.
A. publishing it on the newspaper
B. taking part in the everyday activities
C. talking to everybody you meet about it
D. writing blogs on the web
( )59. The sixth paragraph is probably to ________.
A. tell us the web blog is very interesting
B. tell us how to write a blog

Energy from the water
When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it has the power to make electricity. In Brittany, waterpower produces enough energy to power a town with 40,000 people. Waterpower gives energy without pollution. However, people have to build dams to use this energy, and building dams is very expensive.
Energy from the earth
There is heat in the rocks under the earth. Scientists use the heat to make geothermal(地热的)energy. San Francisco gets half of the energy it needs from geothermal power. This kind of energy is cheap, but it is only possible in a few places in the world.
Energy from the sun

One possible version:
As we know, it’s everyone’s duty to love and protect the environment, but some people don’t care about it. They are using up the natural resources, and are polluting the environment with dangerous things. So something must be done to help the environment.
Firstly, if we learn to recycle our natural resources, they will last longer. Secondly, the world’s population will not grow so fast if we use modern methods to control the population. Finally, if we educate people to think about the problem, we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future.
