三、阅读理解
Dear Humane Society,
I was watching the news last night and saw the report about the rescue(营救 ) of a group of puppies that had been abandoned(遗弃) near the freeway. Being an animal lover, I was shocked by their owner’s behavior. But I was excited to hear that you were holding a letter writing contest to place the puppies for adoption(收养) to good homes. I asked my parents to let me apply to adopt one of those puppies. Fortunately, my parents also love animals and gave me permission.
Any one of these puppies would be welcome in my home. This puppy would have a friendly “brother” with our own dog, Harry. We have a big backyard with lots of room for them to run and play and a doggy door for them to come in when they need shelter. Our new family member would benefit from regular trips to the vet for care and to groomer(美容师) to keep up a fashionable appearance. Since I would be the main care giver, I want you to know that I am a very responsible person with lots of experience taking care of pets. I would make sure of following through with their daily care, including everything from feeding to walking.
Out of all of the things I can provide for this puppy, the most important gift is LOVE. This little guy or girl would be a member of a family full of love. This love is not only for little members, but it goes on forever. I hope you will consider all the reasons why we should be able to adopt one of these puppies. Our home would be a paradise for this puppy after its miserable（痛苦的） start in life and would be blessed by its new member.
Hopefully yours,
Micah Plum

My father was the biology professor. When I was young, he was used to take me to the biology lab, there I saw mice, cats and other animals. My father also influenced me through nature walks. He often took me on a walk in the backyard. We would catch frogs, snakes and bird. He seemed know everything about wildlife. Eighteen years later, think about my father and his influence on my life, I feel very luckily. I am grateful that I got the chance to learn from her. He helps me develop my interest in all that was alive and sometimes dead around me.

Dear Humane Society,
I was watching the news last night and saw the report about the rescue(营救 ) of a group of puppies that had been abandoned(遗弃) near the freeway. Being an animal lover, I was shocked by their owner’s behavior. But I was excited to hear that you were holding a letter writing contest to place the puppies for adoption(收养) to good homes. I asked my parents to let me apply to adopt one of those puppies. Fortunately, my parents also love animals and gave me permission.
Any one of these puppies would be welcome in my home. This puppy would have a friendly “brother” with our own dog, Harry. We have a big backyard with lots of room for them to run and play and a doggy door for them to come in when they need shelter. Our new family member would benefit from regular trips to the vet for care and to groomer(美容师) to keep up a fashionable appearance. Since I would be the main care giver, I want you to know that I am a very responsible person with lots of experience taking care of pets. I would make sure of following through with their daily care, including everything from feeding to walking.
Out of all of the things I can provide for this puppy, the most important gift is LOVE. This little guy or girl would be a member of a family full of love. This love is not only for little members, but it goes on forever. I hope you will consider all the reasons why we should be able to adopt one of these puppies. Our home would be a paradise for this puppy after its miserable（痛苦的） start in life and would be blessed by its new member.
Hopefully yours,
Micah Plum

Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation(调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthypeople are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks.
Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate (轮流的)work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements — vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.
Nutrition(营养) experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.

D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.
2. It may be easy for middle-aged people to be in a state of subhealth because _______.
A. they have used up their energy
B. they have lost their living hopes
C. they have more pressure in life and work
D. they begin to get older
3. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should _______.
A. work hard
B. sleep more
C. form good living habits
D. take more medicine
4. As for food, experts suggest that _______.
A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have a variety of food
C. we should eat less than usual
D. we should have meals without salt to sugar
5. According to nutrition experts’ points,why is it not good to eat too much at one meal?.

B. Because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract .
C. Because you will be choked.
D. Because it will cause insomnia

Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation(调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthypeople are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks.
Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate (轮流的)work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements — vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.
