There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths: I’ll never lose weight—I come from a fat family. Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little. I am fat because I burn calories slowly. Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately. Exercise is boring. Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively (重复地). The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a Tai Chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge. No pain, no gain. Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don’t, rest and seek medical advice. 1.According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting? A.By taking varied exercise. B.By choosing simple exercise. C.By doing regular exercise. D.By sticking to outdoor exercise. 2.What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising? A.Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience. B.Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt. C.Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal. D.Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body. 3.What is the purpose of the passage? A.To declare the importance of keeping fit. B.To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise. C.To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit. D.To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.

It was Monday. Mrs Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, “Give my dog half a pound of meat” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he’s going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and pleasantly did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately. At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth.

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent.It was a tall young man, smoking. He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty-three or-four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes. “Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?” said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss: “Never mind me, I am Mr. D’ Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?” This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered—“I came to see your mother, sir.” “I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed,” replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr. Alec, the only son of the noble family. “What is the business you wish to see her about?” “It isn’t business—it is—I can hardly say what!” “Pleasure?” “Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem…” Tess’s sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved (弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man. “It is so foolish,” she stammered(结结巴巴地说); “I fear I can’t tell you!” “Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear, “ said he kindly. “Mother asked me to come.” Tess continued; “and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you.” “Ho! Poor relations?” “Yes.” “Stokes？” “No; d’Urbervilles.” “Ay, ay; I mean d’Urbervilles.” “Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, and…and we have an old seal and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.” “Very kind of your mother, I’m sure.” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy.” And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?” “I Suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again. “Well— there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?” ——Tess of the d’Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy 1.How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec？ A.Excited and hopeful B.Nervous and uncomfortable C.Surprised but comfortable D.Pleased but embarrassed 2.In the eyes of Tess, Alec is ________. A.forceful and daring B.unfriendly and talkative C.a gentle and reliable man D.older than she had expected 3.Why does Tess pay the visit to the D’Urbervilles？ A.To see Alec himself. B.To see Alec’s mother. C.To confirm that they are of the same family. D.To make known their relationship and seek help. 4.Alec appears quite friendly to Tess mainly because ________. A.Tess is his distant relation B.Tess looks polite to him C.Tess is a pretty girl D.Tess looks ridiculous
