A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.
In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs. Franklin was a scientist, inventor and writer. Franklin also created proverbs like “a penny saved is a penny earned”. This means one should learn to save money.
Here are some examples of proverbs about love that Americans use. Some people say, “All is fair in love and war.” It means that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.
Another proverb about love is, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away. But other people say, “Out of sight, out of mind.” You may not even think about that person when he or she is not with you. Which of these proverbs do you think is true
Another proverb says, “Love is blind.” In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she prepares his favorite foods.
Some people like good-looking people. You might tell them that “beauty is only skin deep”. Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities. Or the opposite may be true. Your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good-looking. So what a person looks like is not really important.
Another proverb is true in love and war or other situations. It is “actions speak louder than words”. It means that what you do is more important than what you say.
Sadly, we have no more time for this program. So we must say “all good things must come to an end”.

During my trip to France, my mission was to eat like a French woman — or at least to find out just how they stay so slim.
This is a country where on one corner you may find a bakery with mouth-watering cakes, and on the next, a café where Parisians linger for hours. It’s a place known for rich desserts, baguettes (法式长棍面包) made from refined flour, fatty meat, and wine. Yet most inhabitants seem to have little trouble maintaining a healthy weight. It’s been called the French Paradox (自相矛盾), and I was determined to get to the bottom of it. My journey started in Paris and ended up in beautiful, sunny Provence.
“French women refuse to accept being overweight,” says David Benchetrit, director of the Clinique du Poids Clinic in Paris. “It is no secret that they want to be beautiful, in love, and take care of themselves so they look good.”
Another thing I observed is that the French and American ways of life are very different. Eating is a leisurely experience. In the United States, we often wolf down meals in given time or eat while driving or sitting at our desks. But the French appear to have all the time in the world to sit around and dine. “We sit down and eat for pleasure, using all of our senses,” Mireille Guiliano, author of the best-selling book French Women Don’t Get Fat, has said. Fatty foods are enjoyed occasionally — maybe once in two weeks, he says. Wine is enjoyed regularly, but in limited portions (量). And you won’t find artificial sweeteners (糖精) in sherbet-colored packets on every table. That’s because the French prefer small portions of the real stuff, like sugar and butter, according to Guiliano.
46. The purpose of the author is to tell us _______.
A. what she found during her trip to France
B. what French women usually eat
C. the lifestyles of the French D. how French women stay slim
47. What do we know about the French diet from the second paragraph
A. It never consists of fatty food. B. It consists of food rich in fat too.
C. It proves to be healthier. D. It rejects rich desserts and baguettes.
48. The French and American ways of life are very different because _______.
A. the Americans eat much more than the French
B. the Americans eat with a bad mood
C. the French don’t eat in a hurry
D. the French are more careful with what they eat
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph
A. The French drink a lot of wine.
B. The French refuse to take in sweeteners.
C. The French never eat sugar.
D. The French diet is not so healthy as we think.
50. The underlined part “get to the bottom of” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. learn the secret of B. give a report about
C. do an experiment on D. pay attention to
D
School-age children whose mothers tightly control their diets may be prone to overeating, while those with moms who pressure them to eat healthily tend to be fussy (爱挑剔的) about food, a new study finds.
The findings do not necessarily mean that parents’ mealtime strategies cause their children to overeat or become picky eaters. In fact it’s likely that parents who pressure or restrict are often reacting to their children’s eating habits.
A number of studies have found that when parents strictly control their children’s diets, kids may be more likely to have less-than-ideal eating habits. But it has not been clear whether parents’ tactics are a cause of or response to their children’s dining habits.
For the new study, Dr. Jane Wardle and her colleagues at London University surveyed 213 mothers of 7- to 9-year-old children. Overall, they found a link between mothers’ pressure to eat healthily and children’s degree of fussiness (挑剔) over food. Similarly, the more mothers’ restriction on foods, the more likely mothers were to say their children would overindulge if allowed.
The links were seen regardless of children’s weight.
According to Wardle and her colleagues, a number of studies have showed that parents are often responding to their kids when they choose to either restrict their eating or pressure them to eat more.
On the other side, studies have found that moms tend to put more diet restrictions on their heavier child — again suggesting that many mothers are reacting to their children’s weight or eating habits.
The researchers point out that the relationship may go in the other direction as well — making it important to recognize that children may both influence and be influenced by their parents’ diet management.
In general, experts recommend that parents try to get their kids interested in healthy foods from an early age — by having them, for example, help with shopping and preparing meals. With young children who are fussy eaters, the American Dietetic Association suggests regularly offering them colorful foods, and making the eating environment pleasant but without any mealtime distractions like TV.
A number of studies have also suggested the importance of parents acting as dietary role models: If parents regularly eat their fruits and vegetables, kids may be more willing to do it too.
51. What is the best title for this passage
A. Moms’ mealtime tactics are related to kids’ eating habits
B. Kids and parents
C. How parents encourage their kids to eat more
D. Kids eat more under parents’ pressure
52. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us _______.
A. healthy foods and the eating environment
B. how to deal with kids who are overweight
C. some suggestions about kids’ eating habits
D. experts’ opinions about food and eating
53.According to the passage, if a boy’s mother often pressures him to eat healthily, the boy is more likely to _______.
A. eat more B. be fussy C. gain weight D. lack appetite
54. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Parents should set a good example to their children.
B. Kids shouldn’t watch TV when they are eating.
C. Kids should form a good habit of eating healthy foods.
D. Parents should make some strict rules about their children’s eating.
55. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _______.
A. scientists B. parents C. teachers D. researchers

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
Ever literally (真正地) felt somebody else’s pain You’re not alone, with new research showing some people do have a physical reaction to others’ injuries. British researchers used brain-imaging technology to show that people who say they feel the pain of others have heightened (加强) activities in pain-sensing brain regions when they see someone else being hurt.
For the study, the researchers showed 108 college students images of painful situations, ranging from athletes suffering sports injuries and patients receiving an injection. Nearly a third said that, for at least one image, they not only had an emotional reaction, but also briefly felt pain in the same site as the injury in the image.
The researchers found that while viewing the painful images, both people who said they felt pain and showed activities in the emotional centers of the brain. But those who said they felt pain showed greater activities in pain-related brain regions compared with the others.
Dr. Stuart Derbyshire of the University of Birmingham said, “This confirms that at least some people have an actual physical reaction when observing others being injured or expressing pain.” He pointed out that the people who reported feeling pain also tended to say that they avoided scary movies and frightening images on the news so as to avoid being in pain.

During my trip to France, my mission was to eat like a French woman — or at least to find out just how they stay so slim.
This is a country where on one corner you may find a bakery with mouth-watering cakes, and on the next, a café where Parisians linger for hours. It’s a place known for rich desserts, baguettes (法式长棍面包) made from refined flour, fatty meat, and wine. Yet most inhabitants seem to have little trouble maintaining a healthy weight. It’s been called the French Paradox (自相矛盾), and I was determined to get to the bottom of it. My journey started in Paris and ended up in beautiful, sunny Provence.
“French women refuse to accept being overweight,” says David Benchetrit, director of the Clinique du Poids Clinic in Paris. “It is no secret that they want to be beautiful, in love, and take care of themselves so they look good.”
Another thing I observed is that the French and American ways of life are very different. Eating is a leisurely experience. In the United States, we often wolf down meals in given time or eat while driving or sitting at our desks. But the French appear to have all the time in the world to sit around and dine. “We sit down and eat for pleasure, using all of our senses,” Mireille Guiliano, author of the best-selling book French Women Don’t Get Fat, has said. Fatty foods are enjoyed occasionally — maybe once in two weeks, he says. Wine is enjoyed regularly, but in limited portions (量). And you won’t find artificial sweeteners (糖精) in sherbet-colored packets on every table. That’s because the French prefer small portions of the real stuff, like sugar and butter, according to Guiliano.

A. what she found during her trip to France

C. the lifestyles of the French D. how French women stay slim

A. the Americans eat much more than the French
B. the Americans eat with a bad mood
C. the French don’t eat in a hurry
D. the French are more careful with what they eat
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph
A. The French drink a lot of wine.
B. The French refuse to take in sweeteners.
C. The French never eat sugar.
D. The French diet is not so healthy as we think.
50. The underlined part “get to the bottom of” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.

School-age children whose mothers tightly control their diets may be prone to overeating, while those with moms who pressure them to eat healthily tend to be fussy (爱挑剔的) about food, a new study finds.
The findings do not necessarily mean that parents’ mealtime strategies cause their children to overeat or become picky eaters. In fact it’s likely that parents who pressure or restrict are often reacting to their children’s eating habits.
A number of studies have found that when parents strictly control their children’s diets, kids may be more likely to have less-than-ideal eating habits. But it has not been clear whether parents’ tactics are a cause of or response to their children’s dining habits.
For the new study, Dr. Jane Wardle and her colleagues at London University surveyed 213 mothers of 7- to 9-year-old children. Overall, they found a link between mothers’ pressure to eat healthily and children’s degree of fussiness (挑剔) over food. Similarly, the more mothers’ restriction on foods, the more likely mothers were to say their children would overindulge if allowed.
The links were seen regardless of children’s weight.
According to Wardle and her colleagues, a number of studies have showed that parents are often responding to their kids when they choose to either restrict their eating or pressure them to eat more.
On the other side, studies have found that moms tend to put more diet restrictions on their heavier child — again suggesting that many mothers are reacting to their children’s weight or eating habits.
The researchers point out that the relationship may go in the other direction as well — making it important to recognize that children may both influence and be influenced by their parents’ diet management.
In general, experts recommend that parents try to get their kids interested in healthy foods from an early age — by having them, for example, help with shopping and preparing meals. With young children who are fussy eaters, the American Dietetic Association suggests regularly offering them colorful foods, and making the eating environment pleasant but without any mealtime distractions like TV.
A number of studies have also suggested the importance of parents acting as dietary role models: If parents regularly eat their fruits and vegetables, kids may be more willing to do it too.

Ever literally (真正地) felt somebody else’s pain You’re not alone, with new research showing some people do have a physical reaction to others’ injuries. British researchers used brain-imaging technology to show that people who say they feel the pain of others have heightened (加强) activities in pain-sensing brain regions when they see someone else being hurt.
For the study, the researchers showed 108 college students images of painful situations, ranging from athletes suffering sports injuries and patients receiving an injection. Nearly a third said that, for at least one image, they not only had an emotional reaction, but also briefly felt pain in the same site as the injury in the image.
The researchers found that while viewing the painful images, both people who said they felt pain and showed activities in the emotional centers of the brain. But those who said they felt pain showed greater activities in pain-related brain regions compared with the others.
Dr. Stuart Derbyshire of the University of Birmingham said, “This confirms that at least some people have an actual physical reaction when observing others being injured or expressing pain.” He pointed out that the people who reported feeling pain also tended to say that they avoided scary movies and frightening images on the news so as to avoid being in pain.

Dear Peter,
I’d like to tell you about an incident that happened the other day.
When I was on the way to school, I saw a boy in front of me who looked like my classmate Li Ming. So I walked quickly towards him and called his name, but he didn’t answer. Then I pulled his arm. When he turned around, I felt quite embarrassed. It was not Li Ming. Afterwards, I arrived at school and entered my classroom. To my astonishment, the boy I met on the way was sitting on the seat beside me. After my teacher’s introduction, it turned out that he was my new classmate. How interesting it was!
Have you ever experienced something like that Would you like to share it with me
Yours,
Li Hua
