To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount.That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal. After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't. “We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ”said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council.“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.” Study participants scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake. Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes.But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years. “We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr.Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization.“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(理论上地)possible.” “Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ”Susan Jebb said.“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.” 1.Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits? A.Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. B.Do proper exercise in the morning every day. C.Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day. D.Having a cigarette before going to bed every day. 2.We can learn from the passage that . A.Susan Jebb did not take part in the study. B.the study observed people as well as tested specific changes. C.there's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits. D.only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors. 3.What can be inferred from the passage? A.All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits. B.People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom. C.Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits. D.People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good. 4.

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone’s else or ourselves --- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!” Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clear will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive. Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours. 1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________. A.words have a lasting effect on us B.inspiring words give us confidence C.negative words may let us down D.not sticks and stones but words will hurt us 2.There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _______. A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves B.talking to ourselves always gives us courage C.we can benefit from talking to ourselves D.it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone 3.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______. A.remind ourselves B.praise ourselves C.make ourselves relaxed D.give ourselves amusement 4.The author would probably hold the view that ___________. A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers B.negative words may stimulate us to make more progress C.people tend to remember friendly words D.it is better to think twice before talking to others

Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as “geilivable” might find a new regulation very “ungeilivable”. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language. “Geilivable”, combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means “giving power” or “cool”. Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. “Hengeilivable” means “very cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”. Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is “antizen”, which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants. David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it’s very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. “English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” Tool said. At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern. “The administration is totally ‘ungeilivable’,” said a netizen named laoda1713. “I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language.” “Language is always developing,” said a columnist, Wang Pei. “It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.” But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication. 1.The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at _________. A. simplifying the Chinese language B. limiting the development of language C. banning the use of Chinglish in the publication D. making the netizens more serious 2. The underlined word “meager” in the third paragraph probably means________. A. poor B. flexible C. high D. plentiful 3.From this passage we can infer that__________. A. the Chinese people like their own language only B. the English words are considered informal in China C. nobody in China will support the new regulation D. “geilivable” is popular among Chinese netizens 4.Which may be the best title of this passage? A. Cyber Words Face an Ungeilivable Regulation B. Cyber Words Make Language More Lively C. Different Views about Cyber Language D. New Netizens in China

The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment. A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising. Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers. The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do. Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level. The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing. One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009. The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products. A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children. 1.What is the best title of the text? A. The guide of Admongo B. An aducation website for children C. A popular online video game D. A website aimed at children 2.Why did the government start the website? A. To attract the biggest market of buyers. B. To sell the products of its company. C. To help children know about advertising. D. To advertise the video game for children. 3.What can players do in the website game? A. Choose hair styles for their character. B. Travel to a supermarket. C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant. D. Play video games during the trip. 4. 5.
