Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure

题型:不详难度:来源:
Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中风).
New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t reach more than the daily level.
The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect (效果) on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel compunctious. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.
Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?
小题1:What’s the passage mainly about?
A.How to make rules.B.Why to make rules.
C.Why to punish kids.D.How to educate kids.
小题2:Which of the following is the most popular way to punish kids?
A.Beating them.
B.Telling them empty threats.

小题3:In the writer’s opinion, which is thought to be the best way to express anger to kids?
A.Punishing them.
B.Keeping silent.
C.Asking them to do some housework.
D.Telling them how disappointed you are.
小题4:The underlined word “compunctious” in the passage means “       ” in Chinese.
A.激动的B.无聊的C.刺激的D.内疚的
小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Punishment is the best way to educate kids.
B.Breaking rules is common, so we don’t need to pay too much attention to it.
C.Parents set ways of punishment in order to make kids know the price for breaking rules.

A science book gives facts. Some science books tell us about animals. Some tell us about plants. Some tell us about outer space. This page tells us about animals.
Do you know that not only the fish but also some animals live in the sea? For example, the whale is not a fish. It can’t breathe in the water. It swims in the water. But it comes up for air.
The blue whale is the world’s biggest animal. There are other sea animals, too. One is called the dolphin. Dolphins need air to live. They breathe air, as whales do. Dolphins are very clever. They sometimes seem to speak to each other.

BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn"t it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity(重力).
However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can"t do because of their weightless environment, and that"s very sad. What"s worse, they can"t even let their sadness show, because it"s impossible to cry in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic(大西洋月刊) in January. Without gravity, tears don"t flow(流动) down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go-they just stick(粘) to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don"t fall off of your eyes...They just kind of stay there."
Besides making your vision(视线)unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that"s not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts" eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is stinging(刺痛) like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn"t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of(除去) the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe(擦) the tears away. Another choice is to just wait-"When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eyes and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.
There are lots of small things-things like crying-that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space.  There, astronauts can"t talk to each other directly. They also can"t eat or drink in normal ways. They can"t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐)everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.
Therefore, perhaps it"s only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you"re the best."
小题1:From Paragraphs 2 and 3 , we can know that_______.
A.astronauts are unable to feel sad in space
B.astronauts produce fewer tears in space
C.tears produced in space flow down more slowly
D.tears produced in space don"t flow downward
小题2:What effect do tears have on astronauts?
A.They cause physical pain.
B.They bring comfort to them.
C.They make their vision clearer.
D.They float around and cause trouble.
小题3:The underlined phrase "take them for granted" in paragraph 7 means _______.
A.find them important
B.consider them useless
C.need them during an emergency
D.fail to notice their presence(存在)
小题4:The second-to-last paragraph (paragraph 7) is mainly about_______.
A.suggestions of how astronauts can stay comfortable in space
B.other basic things that are difficult to do in space
C.why burping is impossible in space
D.things human can"t do without gravity
