IV. Summary Writing

Take Care of Your Spine (脊柱)

The spine stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spinal cord, a massive collection of nerves that sends electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. Therefore, it’s important to take care of it.

Maintaining your good posture is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you’re asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. Having a comfortable bed is also very important as sleeping in a position that isn’t comfortable can leave your back feeling sore the next day.

Exercise is also an important factor in the health of your spine. Staying still for too long—even if your posture is good—can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a desk most of the day, it’s important to get up and stretch periodically. Stretches can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better positions. Strength exercises with light weights or bodyweight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated motions can hurt the muscles around your spine.

Your diet also affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, B vitamins help keep nerves healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement (补充物). Another important factor is vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones, but it’s also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some of those back exercises outside.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

In the green hills of northern Thailand, a woman painstakingly picks coffee beans out of a pile of elephant dung (粪便). They are preparing for the ingredient of one of the world’s most expensive drinks.

This remote comer of Thailand is better known for drug smuggling (毒品走私) than coffee, but Black Dinkin decided it was a perfect place for him to combine wildlife conservation with business. 1. The company uses elephant dung to create a wonderful coffee.

Initially, Dinkin considered using a kind of cats to make coffee, but he found the cats were usually kept in cages and force-fed beans. 2. Eventually, Dinkin settled on elephants after discovering that the animals sometimes eat coffee. He also teamed up with an elephant rescue charity which saves the animals from the tourist trade.

3. “I thought it would be as simple as taking the beans, giving them to the elephants and out will come great coffee,” said Dinkin, adding that the initial result was “horrible”. It took him another nine years to actually succeed in doing what he wanted.

According to Dinkin, the enzymes () in the elephant, stomachs function as a kind of slow cooker and the stomach acid takes the bitterness out of the beans. The elephant riders’ wives collect the coffee beans from the dung before washing and drying them in the sun.

The rewards, however, are worth all the work. At around $1, 880 per kilogram, the coffee doesn’t come cheap. 4.This helps its sales a lot.

A.The 4-year-old Canadian founded Black Ivory Coffee.

B.The local elephant riders considered the project a crazy idea.

C.Its unique taste and special processing cycle give the product a romantic appeal.

D.Making coffee from elephant dung, however, turned out to be harder than expected.

E.To make a kilogram of coffee, the elephants have to cat about 33 kilos of the beans.

F.This is against the businessman’s desire to support rather than damage the environment.

    It's hard to imagine a person today who would not be able to recognize at least one of Charles Schulz's beloved cartoon characters.

For the older generation, the beloved Peanuts strip continues to run in newspapers worldwide today. For the younger generation, Snoopy merchandise was part and parcel of growing up. For even younger fans the 2015 Peanuts movie will make sure that the memory of Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy will not fade with time, like its pencil counterpart.

Peanuts is memorialized especially in Sonoma County California. The county is home to the Charles M. Schulz Museum, the well-known guardian angel of Schulz's memory. Schulz moved there in 1958 eight years after Peanuts made its debut in newspapers.

Although Schulz decided to put down lasting rots in the warm and sunny southwest, he often thought of his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He remembered that in his childhood, every sidewalk in front of every school had a sheet of ice at least ten feet long, worn smooth from the kids sliding on it. Just over ten years later, Schulz purchased an old ice rink and opened Snoop's Home Ice, the Redwood Empire Ice Arena, which bordered the property housing his studio. Whenever the snowy days of his childhood crossed his mind, Schulz was eager to allow his children to enjoy the hobbies he pursued in his youth, and encouraged them to pick up ice hockey and figure skating. That's why the cold winters in his drawings always remind people of the Midwest.

Schulz spent the last thirty years of his life on this property. He wrote in his studio, ate in the Warm Puppy Café at the ice rink and enjoyed, as he described it "hanging out." The artist passed away in his sleep on February 12, 2002, one day before his final original Sunday strip appeared in newspapers around the world.

The Peanuts strip follows the lives of children but they were by no means Schulz's target audience. Instead, Schulz holds the camera at a child's level and observes the truths of adult life from their perspective. Themes of love, loss and failure were throughout his work, all of which were inspired by events in his own life. It is Schulz's gentle, humorous explanation of the world's hash realities that ensures Peanuts will be preserved in years to come.

1.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?

A.The Peanuts strips that appeared in newspapers.

B.The Snoopy patterns printed on clothes.

C.The animated cartoon adapted from the Peanuts strips.

D.The original manuscripts drawn by Charles M. Schulz.

2.Which of the following CANNOT be used to describe Charles M. Schulz?

A.Depressed. B.Creative.

C.Humorous. D.Clever.

3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A.Schulz moved to Sonoma County because he hated the cold climate in his hometown.

B.Schulz's childhood experiences in his hometown inspired the winter scenes in Peanuts.

C.Schulz's life in Sonoma County was the main source of inspiration for his drawings.

D.Schulz opened an ice rink because his children enjoyed ice hockey and figure skating

4.Which of the following with statements is TRUE according to this article?

A.Peanuts is popular with people of all ages around the world.

B.Schulz's hometown is the best place for Peanuts fans to memorize him.

C.Schulz created the Peanuts strip for his children

D.Peanuts reveals the truths of loss and failure through the eyes of adults.
