The drink is served cold with ice.It is important to remove seeds (籽) from the lemon juice before adding it to the water-sugar mixture.
Banana Shake
It is the most common one introduced to kids at an early age.This is due to the ease of eating bananas.
Banana contains a lot of nutrients and provides natural sweetness to drinks.You can cut small pieces of one banana and include sugar and milk to prepare the shake.
Coconut Water
If you are specifically looking for a choice in water, coconut water is the perfect healthy drink for your kids.Coconut water contains a high content of nutrients.It also delivers a certain amount of sugar and protein.
You can find fresh coconut water in the market.If possible, get the fresh coconut water instead of the packaged one.

Do you like to keep fit?We’re always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind.More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness.But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it?
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection.And fitness trackers and apps can add to this addiction, especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism.And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable (脆弱的).Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercising.Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health complications.
Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone’s physical health.Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system.So how much exercise is too much?Researches found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.
If you’re more of a couch potato than a quick runner, this might sound like good news.But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can’t help but push their bodies to the limit, the advice from Martin Turner, a sports and exercise psychologist is,“It’s all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying,‘You don’t need to be perfect.’”
4.What contributes most to people’s addiction to over-exercising according to Paragraph 2?
A.Their urge for social support.
B.Their pursuit of perfectionism.
C.Their addiction to fitness apps.
D.Their concern over health issues.
5.What does the underlined phrase “take its toll on” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Have a bad effect on.
B.Go hand in hand with.
C.Make little difference to.
D.Play an important role in.
6.What is the text mainly about?
A.The risk of fitness obsession. B.The importance of mental health.
C.The benefits of moderate jogging. D.The symptoms of over-exercising.
7.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Science. B.Opinion.
C.Culture. D.Lifestyle.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. 8
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 9 You appreciate your body for its abilities and accept its imperfections.
So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths.Different body types are good for different things.What does your body do well?Maybe your speed, strength or coordination (协调) makes you better than others at a certain sport.That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing or even running.Or perhaps you have skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing or acting. 10
Exercise regularly.Exercise can help you look well and feel good about yourself.Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 11 You can keep healthy by simply exercising 20 minutes to one hour three times a week.Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body!Practicing good habits — regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair and skin; wearing clean clothes and so on — can help you build a positive body image.
12 Your body is just one part of who you are.Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智力) and all the things make you unique.So try not to let small imperfections affect you.
A.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.
B.Be yourself.
C.They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
D.Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E.They take hard work, regular workouts and a healthy habit.
F.The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G.Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

Don’t judge a book by its cover①
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying②goes.[1]Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. Dark thoughts③ about your physical appearance can hang over④ you all the time like a rain cloud.Do I look fat in these jeans⑤?Do others think I am too short? Is everyone laughing at my new hairstyle behind my back?[2] These thoughts can have a negative effect on⑥ people of any shape or size, both male and female⑦, and it is important to guard against⑧ the causes behind them.
[1]本句是主从复合句。Unfortunately, as a teenager作状语;what引导表语从句。
[2]本句是由and连接的并列句。在第二个分句中,it为形式主语,动词不定式短语to guard against the causes behind them作真正的主语。
[3]Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance.[4] Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle⑨ — these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to⑩. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
[3]本句是主从复合句。介词短语of beauty in the media作后置定语;what引导宾语从句,作介词on的宾语。
[4]句中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词Teens;破折号后面的部分是“主语+be+形容词(impossible/important/difficult/hard/...)+for sb+to do ...”结构。
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance.[5] If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow . For children of the digital age, social media makes this problem even worse.Your friends may post a never-ending series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them.[6] This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
[5]If引导条件状语从句,其中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词friends;主句谓语动词feel like后接省略了连接词that的宾语从句。
[6]句中动词不定式短语to have a negative effect on what ...作表语,其中what引导宾语从句。
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them.First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly .[7] They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique.[8] Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust.Hearing how much they value you can help you feel comfortable in your own skin .Focusing on your strengths also helps you build your confidence.Everyone has their own talents —you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
[7]本句是so连接的并列句。在第二个分句中,it作形式主语,动词不定式短语to just forget about them作真正的主语。
[8]主句Keep in mind为祈使句;that引导宾语从句,just the way you are在宾语从句中作方式状语。
Finally, it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negative thoughts .To achieve this, you should do something you enjoy.Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity, like playing a ball game with your friends.[9] These things can help you take your mind off matters that worry you and make you feel good about yourself.
[10] You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover.If you can learn to see the good things about yourself — your individuality , your value to others, your achievements —you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
[9]句中can help和(can) make作并列谓语;take your mind off matters that worry you和feel good about yourself作宾语补语;that worry you是定语从句,修饰matters。
[10]本句是主从复合句。what引导宾语从句,作介词by的宾语。

【参考译文】
不要以貌取人
古语说得好:“不要以貌取人。”可惜的是,作为青少年,你们恰恰却经常以貌取己。关于你外表的负面想法可能会像雨云一样一直笼罩着你。我穿这条牛仔裤是不是显胖? 别人会不会觉得我太矮?大家背地里是不是都在嘲笑我的新发型? 无论男女,不管什么样的体形或身高,人们都会受到这些想法的负面影响,而防备这些思绪背后的成因就成了一件重要的事情。
媒体的审美标准会对你如何看待自己的外表产生很大影响。那些试图模仿他们最喜爱的明星形象的青少年们正在打一场无望取胜的仗,因为这些标准对于大多数人来说是根本不可能达到的。他们到头来只会觉得自己更糟。
你的朋友也会影响你对自己外表的看法。如果你有朋友长得好看,或者很有时尚品位,你会觉得自己活在他们的阴影下。对于数字时代的孩子们来说,社交媒体会让这个问题变得更加棘手。你的朋友可能会无休止地在网上发布一系列照片来炫耀他们漂亮的衣服或强壮的体格,你也更容易陷入和他们的比较之中。事实证明,这种行为会对你如何评价自己的外表产生负面影响。
这些外部影响始终存在,不过我们当然也有办法应对它们。首先要审慎,不要盲从流行的审美标准。这些标准,我们之中99%的人都是达不到的,所以最好不要理会它们。
还有一个办法是你要提醒自己你是独一无二的。你要记住,你的家人和朋友都喜爱你本来的样子。可以和你信任的人谈谈自己的感受。听听他们有多么在乎你,将有助于你更好地接受自己的形象。专注于自己的强项也能帮你建立自信。每个人都有自己的天赋——你可能擅长画画或弹钢琴,所以要为自己擅长的事感到自豪,而不要为你不能改变的事情而烦恼。
最后,尽力转移你在这些消极想法上的注意力也是一个不错的办法。为了做到这一点,你应该做一些你乐在其中的事。读一本你喜欢的书,或者参加一项社交活动,比如和朋友们一起打球。这些事能帮你暂时忘却那些让你烦心的事,让你对自己的感觉好一些。
自我评价时,你可能常常注重外在,而不是内在。然而就像一本书,内容要远比封面重要。如果你能学会看到自己的优点——你的个性、你对他人的价值、你的成就——你很快就会爱上自己本来的样子。

Don’t judge a book by its cover①
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying②
goes.[1]Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do
to yourself. Dark thoughts③ about your physical appearance can hang over
④ you all the time like a rain cloud.Do I look fat in these jeans⑤?Do
others think I am too short? Is everyone laughing at my new hairstyle
behind my back?[2] These thoughts can have a negative effect on⑥
people of any shape or size, both male and female⑦, and it is important
to guard against⑧ the causes behind them.
[1]本句是主从复合句。Unfortunately, as a teenager作状语;
what引导表语从句。
[2]本句是由and连接的并列句。在第二个分句中,it为形式主
语,动词不定式短语to guard against the causes behind them作真
正的主语。

[3] Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on
what you think of your physical appearance.[4] Teens who try to copy the
looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle⑨ — these
standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to⑩.
They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
[3]本句是主从复合句。介词短语of beauty in the media作后置定
语;what引导宾语从句,作介词on的宾语。
[4]句中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词Teens;破折号后面的部

⑩live up to 达到,符合,不辜负
end up 最终成为,最终处于
end up as ...最终成为/变成……
end up in ... 以……结束(后接表抽象概念的名词)
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical
appearance.[5] If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great
fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow . For
children of the digital age, social media makes this problem even
worse.Your friends may post a never-ending series of photos online to
show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier
for you to compare yourself to them.[6] This has proved to have a
negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
[5]If引导条件状语从句,其中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词
friends;主句谓语动词feel like后接省略了连接词that的宾语从句。

These external influences are always present, but there are certainly
ways to deal with them.First of all, be careful not to follow popular
beauty standards blindly .[7] They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it
is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique.[8] Keep in
mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk
about your feelings with someone you trust.Hearing how much they value
you can help you feel comfortable in your own skin .Focusing on your
strengths also helps you build your confidence.Everyone has their own
talents —you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take
pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot
change.

Finally, it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from
negative thoughts .To achieve this, you should do something you
enjoy.Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity, like
playing a ball game with your friends.[9] These things can help you take
your mind off matters that worry you and make you feel good about
yourself.
[10] You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on
the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more
important than your cover.If you can learn to see the good things about
yourself — your individuality , your value to others, your
achievements —you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you
are.
[9]句中can help和(can) make作并列谓语;take your mind off
matters that worry you和feel good about yourself作宾语补语;that worry
you是定语从句,修饰matters。
[10]本句是主从复合句。what引导宾语从句,作介词by的宾语。
negative thoughts 消极的想法
positive thoughts 积极的想法
take part in 参加

content n.内容;目录
individuality n.个性,个人特征
individual adj.个人的;独特的;个别的 n.个人;个体
achievement n.成就,成绩;达到,完成
achieve vt.取得(成就);达到
【参考译文】
不要以貌取人
古语说得好:“不要以貌取人。”可惜的是,作为青少年,你们
恰恰却经常以貌取己。关于你外表的负面想法可能会像雨云一样一直
笼罩着你。我穿这条牛仔裤是不是显胖? 别人会不会觉得我太矮?大
家背地里是不是都在嘲笑我的新发型? 无论男女,不管什么样的体形
或身高,人们都会受到这些想法的负面影响,而防备这些思绪背后的
成因就成了一件重要的事情。
媒体的审美标准会对你如何看待自己的外表产生很大影响。那些
试图模仿他们最喜爱的明星形象的青少年们正在打一场无望取胜的
仗,因为这些标准对于大多数人来说是根本不可能达到的。他们到头
来只会觉得自己更糟。
你的朋友也会影响你对自己外表的看法。如果你有朋友长得好
看,或者很有时尚品位,你会觉得自己活在他们的阴影下。对于数字
时代的孩子们来说,社交媒体会让这个问题变得更加棘手。你的朋友
可能会无休止地在网上发布一系列照片来炫耀他们漂亮的衣服或强壮
的体格,你也更容易陷入和他们的比较之中。事实证明,这种行为会
对你如何评价自己的外表产生负面影响。
这些外部影响始终存在,不过我们当然也有办法应对它们。首先
要审慎,不要盲从流行的审美标准。这些标准,我们之中99%的人都
是达不到的,所以最好不要理会它们。
还有一个办法是你要提醒自己你是独一无二的。你要记住,你的
家人和朋友都喜爱你本来的样子。可以和你信任的人谈谈自己的感
受。听听他们有多么在乎你,将有助于你更好地接受自己的形象。专
注于自己的强项也能帮你建立自信。每个人都有自己的天赋——你可
能擅长画画或弹钢琴,所以要为自己擅长的事感到自豪,而不要为你
不能改变的事情而烦恼。
最后,尽力转移你在这些消极想法上的注意力也是一个不错的办
法。为了做到这一点,你应该做一些你乐在其中的事。读一本你喜欢
的书,或者参加一项社交活动,比如和朋友们一起打球。这些事能帮
你暂时忘却那些让你烦心的事,让你对自己的感觉好一些。
自我评价时,你可能常常注重外在,而不是内在。然而就像
一本书,内容要远比封面重要。如果你能学会看到自己的优点—
—你的个性、你对他人的价值、你的成就——你很快就会爱上自
己本来的样子。

Do you like to keep fit?We’re always told that regular exercise is
good for our body and mind.More and more people are taking up activities
that improve their fitness.But is there a risk that some of us might get
obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it?
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they
aim for perfection.And fitness trackers and apps can add to this
addiction, especially if someone is driven by achievement and
perfectionism.And sharing data on social media means exercising
becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in
someone who is vulnerable (脆弱的).Experts say this can lead to a
medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy
eating and over-exercising.Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and
mental health complications.
Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone’s physical
health.Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg
and a low immune system.So how much exercise is too much?
Researches found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour
and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours
in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than
being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.
If you’re more of a couch potato than a quick runner, this might
sound like good news.But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can’t
help but push their bodies to the limit, the advice from Martin Turner, a
sports and exercise psychologist is,“It’s all about letting go, not
being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying,‘You
don’t need to be perfect.’”

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their
appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the
mirror. 8
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own
body and physical appearance. 9 You appreciate your body for its
abilities and accept its imperfections.
So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?Here are
some ideas.
Recognize your strengths.Different body types are good for different
things.What does your body do well?Maybe your speed, strength or
coordination (协调) makes you better than others at a certain
sport.That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing
or even running.Or perhaps you have skills, like drawing, painting,
singing, playing a musical instrument, writing or acting. 10
Exercise regularly.Exercise can help you look well and feel good
about yourself.Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 11 You
can keep healthy by simply exercising 20 minutes to one hour three times a
week.Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body!Practicing good habits — regular showering;
taking care of your teeth, hair and skin; wearing clean clothes and so
on — can help you build a positive body image.
12 Your body is just one part of who you are.Your talent for
comedy, a quick wit (智力) and all the things make you unique.So try
not to let small imperfections affect you.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts and a healthy habit.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you
look.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何看待自己的体
形并给出了建议:一是认识到自己的优势;二是有规律地经常锻
炼;三是尊重你的身体;四是做自己。
8. C 根据空前一句But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in
front of the mirror.可推知,此处与男人照镜子相关。C项符合语境。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何看待自己的体
形并给出了建议:一是认识到自己的优势;二是有规律地经常锻
炼;三是尊重你的身体;四是做自己。
9. G 空后一句是对G项中的feeling satisfied with the way you look的进
一步解释,说明我们注重我们的外貌,因为好的形象意味着我们对于
自己的长相是很满意的。G项符合语境。
10. D 根据Recognize your strengths.可知,本段讲的是要了解自己的
优势,下文列举了很多这方面的内容,此处建议去探索你认为好的那
些才能,D项正是对这一段的小结,符合语境。
11. E 空前一句Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen.提出了
一种观点,E项解释了原因,E项中They指代上文中的Good
physiques,且regular workouts与下文中的exercising 20 minutes to one
hour three times a week相对应。E项符合语境。
12. B 设空处应是获得积极的形象的方法之一,所以要与前面的方
法表述方式一致,要用祈使句。下文Your body is just one part of who
you are.解释了为什么要做自己,B项符合语境。

A New Addition to the Family
For the initial ten years of his life, Victor was the prince of the
household.As he was the only child, his parents petted him and
showered all their love and attention on him.Whatever toys his parents
bought, they were always meant for him.Whatever food was in the
refrigerator, there was no one to compete with him to polish it off
first.Victor could leave his toys or books around the house with complete
ease of mind, knowing that there was no one who would get their hands
on his belongings and cause any damage.
However, all that was to change overnight when Victor’s parents
