The holiday season means friends， family， parties﹣﹣and lots of unhealthy food．1. Save your pocket money． If you're going to relax a few times over the season， concentrate on foods that are special or unique to this time of year ﹣ not the ones you can get year﹣round to avoid holiday weight gain， says Gary Foster， PhD， chief scientific officer for Weight Watchers． That means letting yourself enjoy a piece of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving，2. The seasonal focus means when the holidays are past， the temptations will go with them and you can return to healthy eating． Wait to enjoy． "We recommend you delay your drink until you have food in your stomach，"says Elizabeth Politti， RD， nutrition director for the Duke Diet and Fitness Center． She explains that food can help delay the absorption of alcohol． "Set some limits for yourself about alcohol such as that you won't have more than one or two drinks．" 3. If one glass of wine makes you completely lose your eating inhibitions（抑制），maybe it's better to hold in the face of food temptation． 4. If you're a regular gym rat， great． But if not， you can still avoid holiday weight gain by taking every opportunity to stay physically active． That means taking the stairs instead of the elevator， or getting off the bus a few stops early﹣﹣ 5. And add bits of intensity， short bursts of more activity， whenever you can． These are the best workouts for people who hate exercise． A．Stay active． B．And know yourself． C．When you're tired， your defenses go down D．but not a stack of chocolate chip cookies at the office Christmas party． E．Thanksgiving and New Year's aren't really 12weeks of nonstop eating F． all the little tricks for adding activity to your day you've read before． G． These expert tips will help you avoid holiday weight gain without compromising the fun．
"IF ALIENS are so likely， why have we never seen any？" That is the Fermi Paradox（悻论） ﹣ named after Enrico Fermi， a physicist who posed it in 1950． Fermi's argument ran as follows． The laws of nature supported the appearance of intelligent life on Earth． Those laws are the same throughout the universe． The universe contains zillions of stars and planets． So， even if life is unlikely to arise on any particular astronomical body， the sheer abundance of creation suggests the night sky should be full of alien civilizations． Fermi wondered why aliens had never visited the earth． Today， the paradox is more usually cast in light of the inability of radio﹣telescope searches to detect the equivalent（相等的） of the radio waves that leak from Earth into the universe， and have done for the past century． Thinking up answers to this apparent contradiction has become something of a scientific parlour（客厅）game． Perhaps life is really very unlikely． Perhaps the priests are right： human beings were put on Earth by some creator God for His own unknown purposes， and the rest of the universe is merely background scenery． Perhaps there are plenty of aliens， but they have decided that discretion is a safer bet than gathering together． Or perhaps galactic（银河的） society avoids communicating with Earth specifically． One frightening idea is that technological civilizations destroy themselves before they can make their presence known． They might blow themselves up after inventing nuclear weapons （an invention that， on Earth， Fermi had been part of）， or cook themselves to death by over﹣burning fossil fuels． In a paper published last month on arXiv， an online repository（文献库） ， a group of three astronomers at Pennsylvania State University have analyzed the history of alien hunting and come to a different conclusion． In effect， they reject one of the paradox' s main theory． Astronomers have seen no sign of aliens， argue Jason Wright and his colleagues， because they have not been looking hard enough． 1.What is the Fermi Paradox？ A. The law of universe supported the appearance of aliens but we never see any． B. A theory about whether aliens exist on the earth and why we can't see them． C. Fermi thought that aliens never existed because it was completely a paradox． D. Fermi concluded that aliens did exist but they could not be seen by humans． 2.What can we conclude from the second paragraph？ A. The universe doesn't provide the abundance of creation of life． B. Fermi thought aliens never visited the earth in the history of human． C. The inability of radio﹣telescope may result in the failure of finding aliens． D. The civilizations on the earth have been detected by aliens in the universe． 3.What does the word underlined in the third paragraph mean？ A. Getting together． B. Fighting each other． C. Hating each other． D. Living separately． 4.How do Jason Wright and his colleagues find the Fermi Paradox？ A. They firmly believe that it is out of date． B. They actually doubt the base of the paradox． C. They want to prove that it is completely right． D. They conclude that aliens actually never exist．
A large﹣scale study has found a link between eating a diet based on organic food and having a reduced risk of cancer． If the new results are confirmed， promoting organic food consumption could be a promising preventative strategy against the disease， a team of researchers from several French institutions said． Among the environmental risks for cancer， there are growing concerns about exposure to different types of pesticides（杀虫剂） from farming． The impact of such chemicals on the human body is still not well understood but there are some indications that harmful effects can occur even at low concentrations． Meanwhile， pushed by environmental and health concerns， the organic food market continues to grow rap﹣idly． Organic food is produced without the use of synthetic（合成的） fertilizers， pesticides， genetically modified organisms， and the use of veterinary（兽医的） medications． "Organic foods are less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional foods， and studies have shown that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticide，" Julia Baudry， lead author of the study from the Centre of Research in Epidemiology and Statistics in France， told Newsweek． "In the general population， the primary route of exposure is diet， especially intake of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables． However， few studies have examined the association of organic food consumption with cancer risk． " For the study， published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine， a team of researchers examined data on the organic food consumption frequency and dietary intake of 68，946 French adults collected by an ongoing survey which began in 2009． They then followed up on these people at various points in the future． Participants reported how often （never， occasionally or most of the time） they consumed 16 types of organic foods including fruits， vegetables， soy﹣based products， dairy products， meat and fish， eggs， grains and legumes， bread and cereals， flour， vegetable oils and condiments， ready﹣to﹣eat meals， coffee， tea， and herbal tea， wine， biscuits， chocolate， sugar and so on． 1.What is the finding of the study？ A. Promoting organic food consumption may help to prevent diseases． B. Processed food consumption may lead to an increased risk of cancer． C. Organic food consumption can help cure cancer in a short time． D. Eating a diet based on organic food may lead to the risk of cancer． 2.Why is organic food becoming popular nowadays？ A. Because organic food market continues to grow rapidly． B. Because people care about environment and health issues． C. Because organic food never contains harmful chemicals． D. Because organic food is produced in a clean environment． 3.Which of the following is the advantage of organic food？ A. Organic food never contains harmful pesticide remains． B. Organic food is less likely to be exposed to some pesticides． C. Different types of pesticides won't affect organic food． D. Organic food won't be influenced by outside environment． 4.What might the article go on describing after the last paragraph？ A. The researching process of the study． B. The disadvantages of organic food C. The current consumption of organic food． D. The bright future of organic food．
On a recent night， while I was busy thinking about important social issues， like what to do over the week﹣end and who to do it with， I overheard my parents talking about my future． My dad was upset ﹣ not the usual stuff that he and Mom and， I guess， a lot of parents worry about like which college I' m going to， how far away it is from home． Instead， he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine， a world he fears has a dark and difficult future﹣﹣if it has a future at all． "There will be a disease that kills millions， a disastrous energy crisis， a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger．" As I lay on the living room couch， listening to their conversation， starting to worry about the future my father was describing， I found myself looking at some old family photos． There was a picture of my grandfather who was a member of the class of 1942， the war class． Next to his picture were photos of my great﹣grandparents． Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better． I believe tomorrow will be better than today ﹣﹣that the world my generation grows into is going Lo get better， not worse． Those pictures helped me understand why． I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great﹣grandparents had seen in their lifetimes： two world wars， killer flu， segregation（隔离） ， a nuclear bomb． But they saw other things， too， better things： the end of two world wars， passage of the civil rights laws． I believe that my generation will see better things， too﹣﹣that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated． I will see things as incredible to me today as the internet to my father when he was 16． 1.Why was the author's dad upset on a recent night？ A. He was upset about which college for the author to go to． B. He was upset that the college is too far from the author's home． C. He was worried about his dark and difficult future coming soon． D. What upset him is whether there is a future for the author's generation． 2.What was the author's first reaction to his father's worry？ A. Indifferent． B. Optimistic． C. Worried． D. Sensitive． 3.What did those photos make the author understand？ A. The world was full of terrible things that could not be solved． B. Though the world was full of terrible things， it would get better． C. All those terrible things that worried the author actually didn't exist． D. Those pictures showed that people never worried about their future． 4.What is the best title of the article？ A. Never worry about your future B. Tomorrow will be better than today C. The world will never be peaceful D. All that exists will come to an end

Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory and family and place. 1. Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations. 2. Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well. 3. Sometimes food means living on. While the Chinese cooks who exported “Chinese” food around the world ate authentic cooking at home, the dishes they served, thus creating new cuisines entirely, were based on economic necessity. Food as pleasure. Things have changed dramatically in the past 20 years when it comes to food in France. Some of the ideas of French food life may be a performance. France is this pastoral nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. 4. Food as status. The introduction of global foods and brands has compounded food as a status symbol for some Chinese. 5. In China, people eat food not necessarily for taste, but for texture. You can find food from all of the provinces of China in Shanghai, as well as every kind of global food style imaginable. A. Food as survival. B.Food as community. C.It’s the hardest to give up. D. The celebratory nature of food is universal. E.It is an accumulation, a function of your experiences F.How and why you eat your food, is, of course, also very cultural. G. But food in Italy is love, then nutrition, then history, then pleasure.
Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university can be good for families, leading to closer, more supportive relationships and increased contact between the generations, a study has found.
The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents’ quality of life and wellbeing. The young adults taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected” about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents’ financial and emotional support. Daughters were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found. Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities. The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students and then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder. “However,” the study says, “day-to-day tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict, characterised the experience of a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates”. Areas of disagreement included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to support their adult children allowed them to remain close. 1.What is the finding of the previous research? A. Boomerang children made their parents happier. B. The parents were looking forward to their children’s return. C. The parents’ quality of life became worse than before. D. Boomerang children never did any housework. 2.The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 may be best replaced by . A. cause B. defeat C. arise D. allow 3.What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home? A. They are ashamed of turning to their parents for help. B. They are glad that they could come back. C. They are doubtful about whether they should return. D. They are proud to be independent from the family. 4.What can be inferred as the reason for the “boomerang children” phenomenon? A. The children want to keep in closer touch with their parents. B. The parents are willing to provide support to their children. C. It is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job. D. There is more house work needed to be done by the children.
Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer, was elected 16th president of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a smart military strategist and a competent leader: His Emancipation Proclamation(解放宣言) paved the way for slavery’s abolition, while his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous speeches in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was killed; his untimely death made him a hero to the cause of liberty, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.
On January 20, 1981, Reagan took office. Only 69 days later he was shot by a would-be killer, but quickly recovered and returned to duty. His grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar. At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to motivate the American people and reduce their reliance upon Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism.”
When George W. Bush, at the age of 54, became the 43rd president of the United States, it was only the second time in American history that a president’s son went on to the White House. John Quincy Adams, elected the sixth president in 1824, was the son of John Adams, the second president. While John Adams had brought up his son to be president, George Bush, the 41st president, insisted he was surprised when the eldest of his six children became interested in politics, became governor of Texas, and then went on to the White House.
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the belief that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others. With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton’s army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank. 1.Of the four presidents, who is regarded as an excellent public speaker? A. Abraham Lincoln. B. Ronald Reagan. C. George W. Bush. D. Barack Obama. 2.When Donald Reagan left the White House, he felt that . A. he regretted having been elected President B. he still had much to do for the country C. he had kept his promise to the people D. he was becoming more popular with the people 3.Which of the following presidents took office first? A. George W. Bush. B. John Adams. C. John Quincy Adams. D. George Bush. 4.Of the four presidents, who successfully realized his American Dream? A. Abraham Lincoln. B. Ronald Reagan. C. George W. Bush. D. Barack Obama.
I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller-coaster. I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue. I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger. I wasn’t nervous — I don’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic. People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that got a year earlier. My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities. I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it. 1.Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus? A. Because he was in a bad physical condition. B. Because he was told not to do so. C. Because he considered it too gentle. D. Because he thought it spun too fast. 2.How did the author most probably react while riding the roller-coaster? A. He really enjoyed himself. B. He was very worried at first. C. He couldn’t think much about it. D. He got frightened as it started moving. 3.What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4? A. He was the oldest person in the world. B. He set a record the year before last year. C. He disliked showing off his success. D. He was eager to get certificates. 4.What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. healthy. B. strong. C. crazy. D. funny.

It’s raining again? Is everybody here? Good. Now listen carefully. I wish the weather is better here for you. It’s very usual to have so and so much snow and rain here at this time of year. Some of you are asking about tomorrow’s activity on the way here. Well, we’re going to climb the mountain unless the weather gets much better during the night. OK? So, provided that it doesn’t snow too heavy tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock. Set your alarms for 5:30. We’ll take our breakfast with them because we won’t reach the top of the mountain unless we set out early, before it’s light. So be there tomorrow morning with everything you need.

Don’t forget to bring maps I gave you yesterday. I’d rather you didn’t bring large cameras and video cameras.

They all ran back to us except my three-year-old Drew, who,______ , just seated herself next to the white bucket where the man was______ planning to put the fish he caught.

The Value of Tears Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.1. When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”2. After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear. Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back. But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 3.Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.4. And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.5.You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.” Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself. A. They too may be holding back a need to cry. B. They cry for different reasons. C. She gives crying exercises. D. It contains a chemical against infection. E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever. F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye. G. But once you’re safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry.
