The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile.
???? He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying,? "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair."
???? Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table.
Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
??? ?In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss."
??? ?"You're welcome, Sir." She replied. "My name is Mary. I'll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me." After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us, Sir!"
??? ?He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, "You are very kind!"
???? When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill.
???? The note on the napkin read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It
shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine
through those who meet you."
??? ?The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his
employees, had seen him in person.

Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America. Many theories have been put forward to explain the popularity of jogging. The truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to achieve physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory （循环）systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noticing that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.
The only equipment that is needed is a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in tennis or gym shoes. A good running shoe will give the knee and ankle（脚踝）more stability（稳定性）. Wearing good shoes will prevent the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on different surfaces.
No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you want, even in your street clothes. Many joggers wear expensive, flashy warm–up suits, but many people just wear a simple T-shirt or jog in last year’s clothes. In cold weather, several layers（层) of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or take off layers as conditions change.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve–week program designed to move from a fifteen–minute walk (which almost anyone in reasonable health can manage) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes.
5. The main purpose of this passage is to .
A. discuss jogging as a physical fitness
B. describe the type of clothing needed for jogging
C. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging
D. make some shoes better for jogging
6. Which of the following is the only special equipment that joggers need?
A. Good shoes. B. Street clothes. C. Expensive suits. D. Warm-up trousers.
7. The most useful kind of exercise is exercise that .
A. trains the body for weight lifting
B. enables a person to run ahead with great power
C. is both beneficial and inexpensive
D. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems
8. We can conclude from this passage that .
A. because of jogging, heart disease is no longer an American problem
B. jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly prepared
C. warm–up suits are better than T-shirts for jogging
D. jogging is bad for your heart and lungs
C
One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.
When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.
While I was touched by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child – just being himself – being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.
He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.
9. From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.
A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son
C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up
10. The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 3 may mean “______”.
A. try B. help C. support D. mistake
11. The writer was touched by the boy because the boy ______.
A. might stop running when he fell down
B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run
C. didn’t care about the fall and went on running
D. was good at running and never fell down
12. What can we learn from the story?
A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.
B. Falling down is the mother of success.
C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.
D. One will succeed if he / she is confident and never gives up.
D
Twenty years ago, British was far from being a 24-hour society. People often complained of the inconvenience（不方便）of shops closing at 5:30 p. m., and the average adult slept almost nine hours per night .
This has changed dramatically in recent years . Many supermarkets are now open all night , and pubs often stay open all day . At the same time, overtime has become common in many countries . As working hours increased, people began to think of sleep as a waste of time . Some tried to follow the example of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher , who was famous for sleeping only fours a night .
The latest research has shown that the current national average of seven hours’ sleep may not be enough . Scientists now say eight hours are needed , and every hour of lost sleep results in a slight , temporary drop in mental abilities . Furthermore , over a period of time the consequences of sleep loss can be quite serious . Nearly 25% of road accidents are caused by drivers falling asleep. The explosion of the US space shuttle Challenger in 1986 has been blamed on lack of sleep among technical staff .
Sleep , it now appears , is important for the maintenance if mental health . A few companies are talking this into account and providing rooms where employees can sleep for short periods when they are too tired to work efficiently . A new organization , the British Sleep Foundation , was also set up recently to help draw attention to the problems caused by lack of sleep . Sleep should not be seen as a waste but as a friend , say the organization’s founders .
13.Twenty years ago in Britain , _______________ .
A .people did most of their shopping on Sundays. B. most people stopped working by 5:30 p.m
C .by law, visitors could not stay out past 11p.m D. only pubs could stay open all night
14.Sleeping habits have changed recently because ______________ .
A. politicians recommended that people sleep less
B. researchers showed people how to use their time better
C. people are now working longer hours than before
D. fewer people want to shop at all-night supermarkets
15.What has the latest research shown ?
A. On average , people are probably not sleeping enough
B. People now sleep slightly more than they did 20 years ago .
C. Lack of sleep has little effect on mental abilities .
D. People should sleep twice as long as the present average .
16.Which of the following is NOT said to be the result of sleep loss ?

Playing sports is one of most people’s favourite activities. Doing sports is not just a fun activity but also great help to people’s health. It does much good to a person’s physical and mental health. It goes without saying that sports are necessary in our life.
Sports are excellent physical exercise. People who play sports have a more positive body image than those who do not. Playing sports from an early age strengthens the bones and muscles. And it reduces blood sugar level. Thus sports provide the body with complete exercise.
Playing sports is very beneficial for the development of social skills in a person. Sports teach a person the importance of teamwork—how to communicate and work with others. They encourage thinking together and help people develop planning skills. Playing sports require people to plan thoughtfully. They need to think the best ways to score goals and plan how to win carefully. Sports build confidence in people and give them a sense of achievement. Sports thus play an important role in one’s social well-being.
Playing sports has a lot of other mental benefits. Sports are very helpful in keeping a person happy. Exercise causes the production of happiness hormones in a person’s body, so it contributes to his or her mental health. Sports help people get positive energy. What’s more, research has showed that people who play sports regularly can deal with stress in life more easily. People who enjoy doing sport activities have fewer mental problems.
Regular exercise helps increase the quality of life. Playing sports acts as a combination of both enjoyment and exercise.

The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile.
???? He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying,? "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair."
???? Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table.
Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
??? ?In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss."
??? ?"You're welcome, Sir." She replied. "My name is Mary. I'll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me." After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us, Sir!"
??? ?He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, "You are very kind!"
???? When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill.
???? The note on the napkin read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It
shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine
through those who meet you."
??? ?The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his
employees, had seen him in person.

Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America. Many theories have been put forward to explain the popularity of jogging. The truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to achieve physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory （循环）systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noticing that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.
The only equipment that is needed is a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in tennis or gym shoes. A good running shoe will give the knee and ankle（脚踝）more stability（稳定性）. Wearing good shoes will prevent the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on different surfaces.
No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you want, even in your street clothes. Many joggers wear expensive, flashy warm–up suits, but many people just wear a simple T-shirt or jog in last year’s clothes. In cold weather, several layers（层) of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or take off layers as conditions change.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve–week program designed to move from a fifteen–minute walk (which almost anyone in reasonable health can manage) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes.
5. The main purpose of this passage is to .
A. discuss jogging as a physical fitness
B. describe the type of clothing needed for jogging
C. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging
D. make some shoes better for jogging
6. Which of the following is the only special equipment that joggers need?
A. Good shoes. B. Street clothes. C. Expensive suits. D. Warm-up trousers.
7. The most useful kind of exercise is exercise that .
A. trains the body for weight lifting
B. enables a person to run ahead with great power
C. is both beneficial and inexpensive
D. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems
8. We can conclude from this passage that .
A. because of jogging, heart disease is no longer an American problem
B. jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly prepared
C. warm–up suits are better than T-shirts for jogging
D. jogging is bad for your heart and lungs

One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.
When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.
While I was touched by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child – just being himself – being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.
He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.
9. From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.
A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son
C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up
10. The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 3 may mean “______”.
A. try B. help C. support D. mistake
11. The writer was touched by the boy because the boy ______.
A. might stop running when he fell down
B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run
C. didn’t care about the fall and went on running
D. was good at running and never fell down
12. What can we learn from the story?
A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.
B. Falling down is the mother of success.
C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.
D. One will succeed if he / she is confident and never gives up.

Twenty years ago, British was far from being a 24-hour society. People often complained of the inconvenience（不方便）of shops closing at 5:30 p. m., and the average adult slept almost nine hours per night .
This has changed dramatically in recent years . Many supermarkets are now open all night , and pubs often stay open all day . At the same time, overtime has become common in many countries . As working hours increased, people began to think of sleep as a waste of time . Some tried to follow the example of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher , who was famous for sleeping only fours a night .
The latest research has shown that the current national average of seven hours’ sleep may not be enough . Scientists now say eight hours are needed , and every hour of lost sleep results in a slight , temporary drop in mental abilities . Furthermore , over a period of time the consequences of sleep loss can be quite serious . Nearly 25% of road accidents are caused by drivers falling asleep. The explosion of the US space shuttle Challenger in 1986 has been blamed on lack of sleep among technical staff .
Sleep , it now appears , is important for the maintenance if mental health . A few companies are talking this into account and providing rooms where employees can sleep for short periods when they are too tired to work efficiently . A new organization , the British Sleep Foundation , was also set up recently to help draw attention to the problems caused by lack of sleep . Sleep should not be seen as a waste but as a friend , say the organization’s founders .
