三、阅读理解
A
If you’re lucky enough to have today off from work, the most important thing on your to-do list is to actually take the day off. Taking time to let your brain rest really makes you more creative, better at problem-solving, better at coming up with creative ideas.
Hug laziness.
Yes, yes, you’re busy, I’m busy, we’re busying ourselves to be tired out. But if you have today off, take a stand against all this busyness. Being busy — if we even are busy — is rarely the sign we’ve come to believe it is. Nonetheless, the influence is real, and examples of burnout, anxiety (焦虑), disorders and stress-related diseases are on the rise.
Have a family meal.
It can be hard to get the whole family together for a meal. Work, school, sports practices and other duties all seem to get in the way. But studies show that families who dine at home together are happier and healthier.
Do that one thing you haven’t _________.
Yeah, yeah, you’ll get to it sometime — it’s the little lie we all tell ourselves to get out of doing the things on our to-do list that are hanging over our heads. But today is a great day just to get it done! Send that email, finish up that task at home, send that holiday thank-you note you still haven’t gotten around to. Whatever it is, just do it. You’ll feel so much better, I promise.
Do completely nothing.
Not much more to say here! Allow yourself to plant in front of the TV today, recharge your batteries and get a good night’s sleep. It might even make you more productive at work this week.
1. Which word is the most suitable for _________.
A. forgotten B. planned C. finished D. mentioned

B
Two men walked slowly, one after the other, through a stream. They had blanket packs on their backs. They had guns, but no bullets(子弹), matches, but no food over 48 hours.
Suddenly the man who followed fell over a stone. He hurt his foot badly and called: “Hey, Bill, I’ve hurt my foot.” Bill continued straight on without looking back.
The man was alone in the empty land, but he was not lost. He knew the way to their camp, where he would find food and bullets. He struggled to his feet and went on. Bill would be waiting for him there, and together they would go south to the Hudson Bay Company. He had not eaten for two days. Often he stopped to pick some small berries and put them into his mouth. The berries were tasteless, but he knew he must eat them. In the evening, he built a fire and slept like a dead man. When he woke up, the man took out a small bag. It weighed fifteen pounds. He wasn’t sure if he could carry it any longer. But he couldn’t leave it behind. He had to take it with him. He put it back into his pack, rose to his feet and walked on slowly.
His foot hurt, but it was nothing compared with his hunger, which made him go on until darkness fell. His blanket was wet, but he knew only that he was hungry. Through his restless sleep he dreamed of food. The man woke up cold and sick, and found himself lost. But the small bag was still with him. As he dragged (拖) himself along, the bag became heavier and heavier. The man opened the bag, which was full of small pieces of gold. He left half the gold on a rock.
Eleven days passed, days of rain and cold. One day he found the bones of a deer. There was no meat on them. The man broke the bones and he ate them like an animal. Would he, too, be bones tomorrow And why not This was life. Only life hurt. There was no hurt in death. To die was to sleep. Then why was he not ready to die He, as a man, no longer strove. It was the life in him, unwilling to die, that drove him on.
One morning he woke up beside a river. Slowly he followed it with his eyes and saw it entering into a shining sea. When he saw a ship on the sea, he closed his eyes. He knew there could be no ship, no sea, in this land. A vision, he told himself. He heard a noise behind him, and turned around. A wolf, old and sick, was coming slowly toward him. This was real, he thought. The man turned back, but the sea and the ship were still there. He didn’t understand. Had he been walking north, away from the camp, toward the sea He started slowly toward the ship, knowing full well the sick wolf was following him. In the afternoon, he found some bones of a man. Beside the bones was a small bag of gold, like his own. So Bill had carried his gold to the end. He would carry Bill’s gold to the ship. Ha—ha! He would have the last laugh at Bill. His laughing sounded like the low cry of an animal. The wolf cried back. The man stopped suddenly and turned away. How could he laugh at Bill’s bones and take his gold

It’s hard to turn down hamburgers, French fries, potato chips and all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, especially if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19.
“Junk food shapes the brains of teenagers in ways that hurt their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control their crazy behaviors ,”said Amy Reichelt, a brain scientist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teen’s risk of depression (抑郁) and worries.”
Reichelt and two other researchers reviewed more than 100 studies, including their own, about how poor food choices can influence the brains of teenagers. They found teenagers are more sensitive(敏感) than any other age group to foods with a lot of fat and sugar as their brains are not yet fully formed
Teenagers’ brains are still developing the ability to know about risks and control actions.
The prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn’t eat chips all the time and helps us against them. However, this region(区域) is the last to mature — it doesn’t fully develop until we are in our early 20s.
Meanwhile, teen brains get more excited from rewards. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we experience something good — like eating tasty foods — are fully developed by the teen years.
In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. That’s because dopamine(多巴胺), a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in teen brains.Therefore, the teen brain has two attacks when it comes against junk food. “It has a increasing power for rewards and reduced self-regulation (自我调节),” said Reichelt.
Reichelt and her team did their own study using mice, whose brains develop much like our own. They discovered that the “teenage” mice that had a high-fat diet did worse on memory tests than those eating a normal diet. Researchers said the high-fat diet may make the mice’s prefrontal cortex work less actively.
So, what’s the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When we
exercise, the brain’s reward system becomes less sensitive to junk food. Exercise also gets
the body to make something that helps brain cells grow and increases connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain parts. So the prefrontal cortex can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our behaviour.
7. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To describe what junk food is.
B. To tell us why junk food is hard to fight against.
C. To explain the dangers of junk food.
D. To show the connection between food and brains.
8. What makes it harder for young people to fight against junk food according to the study
A. Their strong interest to take risks.
B. Their over active brains.
C. Their still-developing prefrontal cortex.
D. The low level of dopamine in their brains.
9. What did the study on mice prove
A. High-fat diets could never change our brain.
B. Our mood could suffer from eating junk food.
C. The brain of a mouse is similar to that of a person’s.
D. High-fat diets could harm our ability to deal with information.
10. How does exercise help us according to the last paragraph
A. It makes the brain’s reward system more active
B. It holds back the interest for junk food.
C. It makes the body produce a protein to control our behaviour.
D. It helps the prefrontal cortex work better with dopamine.

五、回答问题
How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax. Here's a good example.
Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus(焦点) of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.
The Meek couple didn't want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become "couch potatoes". So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining in the activities.
Every holiday and weekend, whether it's sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would go out to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. "Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we've had the chance to experience something different. Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.
