Ridgewood is a small town 20 miles from Manhattan, New York. It is a quiet town, perfect for raising children away from the rapid pace of the city. However, besides hours of homework, many Ridgewood children have too many after-school activities-from swimming to piano classes. Some kids compare their life to that of a New York general manager who has an 80-hour workweek.
Children's schedules filled with homework and activities made a lot of townspeople worried, so the town decided to start a movement called “Ridgewood Family Night-Ready, Set, Relax!” The mayor (市长) made a public statement, calling for a town-wide night for families to do nothing. And schools and clubs agreed to support the movement so families could relax and get together.
Some parents like to talk about their childhood, one without so many scheduled after-school activities. As kids, they just went out to play with neighborhood friends after school. However, almost all these parents take their children to their regularly scheduled activities. These fathers and mothers feel it is their duty to make sure their children are prepared to survive in today's high-pressure work environment. They are afraid that their children can't enter the “right” universities and won't succeed in a more and more competitive world.
However, it seems that Family Night worked, at least to a certain degree. Cars moved freely around Ridgewood's normally busy downtown streets. Some families ate supper together for the first time in months. One family watched home movies of when the children were little, baked cookies and played games together.
At first, some people were excited that they could take back their lives. But sadly, few families now believe that one night will change them. Nearly all of the townspeople are sure that they will fall back into the old habit.

Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.
Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume (消耗) an average of 100 calories less during the day than their colleagues who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.
Don't skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.
We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.
Eat your fruit and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal, have a salad for lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.
Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get a head start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food,get enough sleep,and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel (燃料)”. Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein,like meat,fish,eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles,and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.
If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.

One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux(胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don't always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.
What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked:_dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients' evening meals has become later and later. Dinner-already pushed back by longer work hours-is often further, delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.
In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.
She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,”she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we're the reason that it's not so easy to get 6 p. m. reservation (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”
To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p. m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.

4.The author writes the text to tell us ________.
A.not to work late at night.
B.to avoid eating at restaurants
C.unhealthy foods cause cancer
D.the danger of eating late at night
解析:D 写作目的题。作者以一个病人的案例引出晚上吃饭时间太晚容易得胃酸倒流痛,并且给出自己的建议,然后再以一个女病人的病例对此加以证明,最后得出结论。由此可知,作者写作此文的目的在于告诫大家晚饭时间很关键,不能吃得太晚,否则会导致疾病,甚至会威胁生命。

My first trip to Greece took place in the 1960s. There I accepted a challenge to hitchhike (搭便车) with a group of English friends from my university in Birmingham to Athens with little money. For me, a 20-year-old girl, I had not done anything like this before. It was so hard on the road. We slept in the open air, ate little more than bread and cheese, and depended heavily on the help of strangers. But it helped me learn about European society.
One day, my Greek friend came to see me at the youth hostel and asked me to step outside. He was angry with me. He reminded me of my social background and asked what my parents would say if they saw me living in these conditions like these “dirty” English. After several weeks on the road, we did look tired, but his choice of the word “dirty” interested me. He was showing a historic dislike of the English that same Europeans had. In that part of Europe, both the Turks and the Greeks, who dislike each other to this day, blamed (责怪) the English for their national disasters. He ignored my explanations of having accepted the challenge of hitchhiking. He took me home and his family, especially his mother and sisters, showed me Greek hospitality (好客) at its best.
My experience in Greece could not have differed more from the situation facing Pakistanis-and others seeking shelter-in Greece today. On recent visits to Greece in connection with my study on Islam in Europe, I saw the trouble of the refugees (难民). Some said that they had been physically beaten. However, there are good stories of ordinary Greeks giving shelter to some hopeless refugees. The sense of Greek hospitality that I experienced as a student does exist.
【文章大意】 作者在上世纪60年代去过希腊,感受到了那里人们的善良与好客。最近她又去了希腊,再一次感受到了那里人们的善良与好客。
5.What was the author's purpose of taking a trip to Greece in the 1960s?

B.To complete a challenge bravely.
C.To learn how to hitchhike to other countries.

A.Traveling through Greece was interesting.
B.Her English friends were really kind.
C.It was really interesting to hitchhike.
D.Many strangers were really kind.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第一段的...depended heavily on the help of strangers.可推断,作者在路途中遇到很多好心人。
7.What did the author find during her recent visits to Greece?
A.Many Greeks lived a very bad life.
B.The country hadn't changed much.
C.Many refugees were badly treated.
D.Many people were leaving the country.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段的Some said that they had been physically beaten.可知,作者最近去希腊发现那里的难民遭到了虐待。
8.What does the author want to show by giving the example in the last paragraph?
A.Many Greek people still love helping others.
B.Many people in Greece need help.
C.Greece is a safe country for refugees.
D.Helping others is very important.

Ⅲ.七选五
The U.S. government's top education official wants
schools to do a better job teaching students whose first language is not English. __1__ That is because one in every 10 U.S. students from Kindergarten to 12th grade are English learners. Most English learners come from a country where they speak another language, or have parents from a non-English-speaking country.
__2__ That's what the U.S. Education Secretary John King said. He noted Spanish-speaking students are graduating from high school and attending college at higher rates than ever before. “But in too many places across the country, English learners get less access to good teachers, less access to good coursework, and less access to what they need to get success,” King said.
Two recent studies found English learners do better if they attend classes that use both English and the students' native language. Kelly Gonez is a policy adviser at the Department of Education. She said such programs are still not offered by most schools teaching English learners. __3__ Gonez said some school districts are hiring teachers from Spain and China. They are trying to make up for a lack of teachers in the United States who can offer teaching in two languages. __4__ In New York City, for example, the city's Department of Education says its students speak a total of 180 different languages. About sixty percent are Spanish speakers, and another 14 percent are Chinese speakers.
__5__ But she said schools can get textbooks in many more languages than just Spanish and Chinese.
A.It is very important.
B.Many languages are spoken in the U.S.
C.There has been some progress in recent years.
D.Spanish-speaking students are good at studying.
E.But such programs are not always easy to set up.
F.Gonez said that it may be hard to find such teachers.
G.One problem is finding enough teachers who can do that.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
The population of the United States grows larger every year. The state that has been growing the fastest is Nevada. The city that has been receiving the most new residents (居民) is Las Vegas, which lies in the desert in Southern Nevada.
Why are so many people moving to Las Vegas? First, it is easy to find a job. Tourism is the number one industry in Las Vegas, so there are many service jobs. Workers are building thousands of new homes, buildings, and schools. The children need teachers. People need to shop for food, clothing, and cars, so the stores are looking for clerks (职员). About one third of the new residents are from California, where it is more difficult to find a job. Second, Nevada has no income tax (所得税). Most states have an income tax of 2%, 4%, 5% or more. Third, many people like the weather. Even though it's very hot in the summer, the other seasons are beautiful. There are over 250 days of sunshine each year. Finally, housing is still affordable, with the price of a new home at about $139,500. People moving from California find that this is reasonable in comparison to homes in their state.
Las Vegas is also the wedding capital of the United States. It is easier to get married in Las Vegas than in any other city in the United States. You don't need a blood test. You don't need to wait for a week for a marriage license. It's possible to get married the same day you apply for (申请) a marriage license.
Las Vegas also has problems. Because it sits in the desert, there is not enough water. Even though water is expensive, residents have not been careful in conserving water. Next, Las Vegas has serious air pollution problems. Las Vegas is surrounded (环绕) by high mountains, some as high as 10,000 feet. These mountains hold in the pollution from the cars. At times, there are warnings not to exercise outdoors. Finally, as the city becomes larger, people are traveling farther to work and the average commute (通勤) time has been increasing.
