                   Ali is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA. He smokes a lot of cigarettes (香烟) every
              day. He has smoked for nine years. Ali says," I tried to quit (放弃) smoking in my hometown, but it was
              impossible. My brothers smoke. All my friends smoke. At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke.
              Here in the United States, not as many people smoke. It will be easier to change my habit here."
                   Many smokers are like Ali: they want to stop smoking. The smokers know that smoking is bad for their
              health. They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. The drug is nicotine (尼古丁). People who smoke a lot need nicotine.
                   When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible. The nicotine makes him sick. In a few days,
              the smoker's body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. Without nicotine, he feels bad.
                   It is very hard to quit smoking, and many people who quit will soon smoke again. At a party or at work they will decide to smoke "just one" cigarette. Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. Soon they become smokers again. Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking: never start.


              1. How long has Ali smoked?
              A. Nine years.
              B. Seven years.
              C. Five years.
              D. Three years.
              2. How do the smokers feel without nicotine?
              A. Fine.
              B. Happy.
              C. Worried.
              D. Bad.
              3. According to Paragraph 2, many smokers want to stop smoking because they ______.
              A. want to go to parties
              B. can't smoke at work
              C. may suffer from cancer
              D. need nicotine and drugs
              4. By writing this text, the writer hopes that people will ______.
              A. stay in their hometown
              B. never start smoking
              C. eat less and smoke more
              D. not live in the United States

                   Nowadays, most of us live a busy life. What do you do to keep yourself relaxed?
              Besides spending time with family, having a glass of wine with friends or reading a book,
              how about a hobby?
                   Personally, I'm a collector. I like blue and white pieces the best---blue and white
              anything﹗Plates,jars,vases, cups, bowls---I love them all. Collecting items is like
              something you can't get enough of
              . You get one, and you want to have more.
                   I find collecting to be a fun and inspirational hobby. In many ways, it's like a puzzle
              I'm never tired of solving. I look high and low for new pieces to add to my collection. I
              can often be found visiting Marshell's, looking over their inexpensive offerings. In fact, I
              found one of my favorite pieces there.
                   I've mixed inexpensive pieces from Marshell's with more expensive finds. A lot of times,
              it's the piece I'm not looking for that falls into my lap; I find a way to make it part of my
              blue and white family. What I love about my collection is that when I get inspired, I can
              move them around the house, mix and match and make things look fresh and new.
                   Ever since I was a little girl, blue has been my favorite color. I think I got it from my
              aunt in Mexico. Some of my earliest memories are visiting her in Mexico and sitting on a
              chair in her kitchen, which had blue and white tiles(瓷砖)from the floor to the ceiling. I
              would spend countless hours admiring all the beautiful blue and white plates and shiny blue
              tiles around her kitchen. Once I had a home, I began to build my own blue and white
              collection.


              1. We can infer that in the writer's opinion,_____________.
              A. having a hobby can help us relax
              B. reading a book alone is really boring
              C. keeping a hobby is not easy for most of people
              D. having a glass of wine with friends is not a good idea
              2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?_____
              A. Collecting things requires a lot of money.
              B. People always want more than they need.
              C. People may not know what they want to collect.
              D. Once you start collecting things, it's hard to stop.
              3. If something falls into your lap, it means you_________.
              A. have been looking for it
              B. don't know what it is
              C. get it unexpectedly
              D. like it very much
              4. What's the last paragraph mainly about?_____
              A. When the writer started collecting things.
              B. When the writer started liking blue things.
              C. What kind of thing the writer collected first.
              D. Why the writer liked her aunt's things so much.

              Travel is good for you

                   Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help solve one of the country’s
              worst problems - crime (犯罪).
                   Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals (罪犯) are young. Most of them - 85 percent are boys. They often come from sad homes, with only one
              parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol and drugs.  
                   There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them - 60 to 70 percent will go
              back to crime when they come out of prison.  
                   One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on
              the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started "Vision Quest".  
                   He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons 3,000 miles through seven
              states. They are on the road for more than a year.  The young people on Vision Quest (boys and a few
              girls) all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.  
                   It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed
              the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can
              help them to have a new life.  
                   Not all young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better then 60 or 70 percent. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for youEven today, Americans still say, "Go west, young men".
              1. According to the passage, travel is good for you because it can _____.  
              A. get rid of crime completely    
              B. change the way of life 
              C. help to reduce criminals      
              D. not build up your body
              2. Which of the following is NOT the character of the criminals?
              A. Most of them are young.
              B. They often have not a good family.
              C. They may often drink wine too much and take drugs.
              D. They like traveling far away from their homes.
              3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
              A. As time goes on, the criminals become fewer and fewer.
              B. Most of the criminals will do better after they come out of prison.
              C. Bob’s new idea changes a person better.
              D. The young criminals on Vision Quest all lead a happy life.
              4. The young people on Vision Quest have to _____.
              A. work all day and all night
              B. get up early and feed the horses
              C. love their horses
              D. live a new life
              5. "Go west, young men" means _____.
              A. people can learn to be strong and brave on a long journey
              B. people can learn how to help others in time of danger on a long journey
              C. travel can help them to grow into men
              D. All the above

                   Now, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of
              diseases. As a result, vitamin supplements (补品), though expensive, are popular with people who
              worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many
              people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve
              health or protect against disease.
                   In fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example,
              too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their
              doctors, as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.
                   Experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. People who know they
              lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example, may not have
              enough vitamin B-twelve. This is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from
              foods. Also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this
              vitamin from sunlight.
                   Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It also is in the
              yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain
              substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables
              and other foods, like fruits. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.
                   In fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. So, it is
              important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies
              need.
              1. What is probably talked about before this passage?
              A. How many vitamins a person's body needs.  
              B. How many vitamins some foods contain.
              C. The benefits that vitamins bring to our health.
              D. What people should do to stay healthy.
              2. Vitamin supplements are popular with people because ________.  
              A. people mistakenly think that they are good for their health
              B. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eat
              C. food does not provide enough vitamins people need
              D. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to disease
              3. From the passage, we can learn that medical experts advise people _________.
              A. never to take any vitamin supplements  
              B. to depend only on food for their vitamins
              C. not to take any vitamins together with medicines
              D. to consult doctors before taking vitamin supplements
              4. For people who lack Vitamin B-twelve, they can eat more from _______.
              A. sweet potatoes  
              B. green leafy vegetables  
              C. pork products

                 The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
                 Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet"
              everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet
              products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for
              products that harm us psychologically and physically.
                 Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to
              admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption
              (消耗)of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and
              go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food
              labels(标签).
                 On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
              drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet
              products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance (抵
              抗)and struggle.
                 The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the
              physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
              and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these
              wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are
              potentially dangerous.
                 Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
              buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize
              this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm
              that comes from using them.
              1. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____.
              A. diet products fail to bring out people's potential
              B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
              C. diet products are misleading people
              D. people are fed up with diet products
              2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.
              A. try out a variety of diet foods
              B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
              C. pay attention to their own eating habits
              D. watch their weight rather than their diet
              3. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means _____.
              A. losing weight is effortless
              B. it costs a lot to lose weight
              C. diet products bring no pain
              D. diet products are free from calories
              4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _____.
              A. are over-consumed
              B. lack basic nutrients
              C. are short of chemicals
              D. provide too much energy

                   The black robin is one of the world's rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island
              of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins; in 1977
              there were fewer than ten. These are the only black robins left in the world. The island has many other
              birds, of different kinds, large and small; these seem to multiply very happily.
                   Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home, a "reserve",
              for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be
              supplied with the robin's food-it eats only one kind of seed. Thousands of the required plants are at
              present being cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so
              that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear form the earth in our time at least.
                   Is all this concern a waste of human effort? Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives
              or dies out? Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?
                   In the earth's long, long past, hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of
              success-and died out. In the long, long future, there will be many new and different forms of life. Those
              creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those
              that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. This is nature's proven method of operation.
                   The rule of selection-"the survival of the fittest"-is the one by which human beings have themselves
              arrived on the scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last
              longer than most. You may take it as another rule that when, at last, human beings show signs of dying
              out, no other creature will extend a paw to put off our departure. On the contrary, we will be hurried
              out. For nature, tough fair, is a hard-hearted mistress. She has no favorites.
                   Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to
              do something about it.
              1.The black robin is dying out mainly because        .
              A. people have been very careless about its survival
              B. the appeal for money has come at the wrong time
              C. the other birds on the island have destroyed it
              D. its only food supply is far from enough on Little Mangere
              2.In Paragraph 3, the writer puts forward three questions to        .
              A. make a comparison
              B. make an argument
              C. present his own idea
              D. introduce a topic
              3. The writer's attitude towards the protection of the black robins is         .
              A. passive  
              B. active      
              C. unconcerned    
              D. optimistic

                    Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so
              it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (食物). The old saying "an apple a day keeps the
              doctor away." is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they
              contain vitamins. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form (丸剂), believing that these will make them
              healthy. But a good diet is made up of nutritive food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body
              doesn't need or use extra vitamins, so why they waste money on them?
                   In the modern Western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw
              anyt hing into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse
              by bad eating habits is frightening.
              1. The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that        .
              A. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health.  
              B. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits  
              C. apples can take the place of doctors
              D. an apple is a sure cure for illness
              2. In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know        .
              A. our bodies need food, or we can't live  
              B. often eating apples is a good habit  
              C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless  
              D. a good diet is of great importance for our health  
              3. In the modern western countries        .
              A. people won't want to pay more attention to their eating  
              B. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewing.
              C. list of people's illness are caused or made worse by bad eating habits
              D. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves  
              4. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should        .
              A. only eat an apple a day  
              B. take as many vitamin pills as possible
              C. eat properly    
              D. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefully.

                   You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket.
              In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you
              have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins
              and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
                 The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple
              has a label that says "USDA Organic". Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Become
              a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.  Several differences between
              organic and non-organic foods exist. The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process
              agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming
              practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who
              grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent
              livestock disease.
                 Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:

              * Organic or not? Check the label
                  The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program
              that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how
              such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and
              sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who
              sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt(免除) from this certification.
                  If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the
              USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.

              A. to promote the sales of organic food
              B. to inform people organic food is better for their health

              A. improve the quality of the soil and water
              B. take the place of the traditional agriculture entirely
              C. prevent livestock from getting disease more effectively    
              D. adopt environmentally-friendly methods to grow plants and feed animals.

                 Running, as most of you already know, is a sport that all sorts of people love. Running a marathon is also
            something that many long-distance runners have as a goal. Now if you decide you want to train for a marathon,
            how do you go about getting yourself into excellent shape for the race of your life? 
                 Most marathon training schedules last around 20 weeks and are designed for runners who can run 4-5 days
            per week. The secret of a successful training schedule lies in avoiding injury that can happen through pushing
            yourself too fast or too hard. So, the idea is to increase your mileage gradually from, let's say,20 miles per week
            up to runs of 50 miles per week at some point before the actual marathon. Alternate (交替) hard days with easy
            days: an easy day could be a day off altogether or something else like a three-mile run which, although it might
            not seem to be really worth the effort to some of you, actually is a joy to do.
                 Be careful how you warm up and slow down, because these are the times when injuries could happen. When
            you set off for a run, take the first mile slowly and when you break into a sweat, stop and do some stretching
            exercises for a couple of minutes. Always take the last mile slowly too-if you stop suddenly after a hard run,
            then those of you who might have heart attacks are putting yourselves at greater risk at the point. One word of
            warning: don't start a training schedule without some guidance from a properly qualified trainer. He or she will
            be able to tell you what you're doing right or wrong! Remember that under normal circumstances, health
            benefits from regular running are an increased sense of energy and well being, together with fitness.
