As the proverb says,“No one knows the value of health until he loses it.”In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.
It is clear that health is the foundation(基础) of one"s future success. If you become sick, it is scarcely possible to pursue(从事) your career effectively, much less make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles(障碍) that lie ahead of you.
Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain(保持) our health? First we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours. If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says,“Prevention is better than cure.”If you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.
In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are no more fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component(组成部分) of your success.

Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano，a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated，the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall，the little boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly，the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her horror，the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard，innocently picking out Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy"s ear, "Don"t quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.
That"s the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren"t exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life"s work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don"t quit, keep playing.

There is a group of people whose numbers the British Government desperately wants to see dropping. They"re mostly in their early 20s, without jobs and not at university. They often wander the streets and are seen as a threat.
The Office for National Statistics reported on Dec, 11, 2006 that the number of young people who are not in school and not working or in training in Britain has risen sharply since 1997.
Britain now has 1.24 million people aged 15 to 24 who have nothing to do. That"s a 15 percent increase over 1997. One in six people in this age group is idle.
These people are most likely to be from lower-income families and be supported by their families or the government. Those aver 18 can get a weekly job seeker"s allowance of ￡46,69(690 yuan) from the government. This is only enough to cover the basic cost of living.
Housing benefits are also available. But for single people under 25, these only cover rent for very cheap accommodation, such as a shared room. So most unemployed young people choose to live with their parents, where they can have a room of their own
Some charities or local governments offer free housing for homeless young people as well. Nightstop UK, for example, offers help to young people aged 16--25. However, the housing is often only short-term.
British politician Iain Duncan-Smith blames the breakdown of traditional families on the increasing number of unemployed or untrained young people.
In Britain today, about one in 10 families are headed by a cohabiting couple, Cohabiting parents are twice as likely to break up as married parents, according to a Conservative Party report. Family breakdown is likely to lead to ignoring a child"s education.
Poor post-school vocational training programmes are also being criticized. Independent research suggests that some training programmes are a waste of time.
The New Deal, a major programme to help the unemployed young, is one example. In 1998, 61 per cent of those leaving the programme could find jobs. That number is now down to 35 per cent.
" It, shows a failure of government policy. Even if you put in a large amount of money, if you haven"t got the basic policies right, you won"t get me results." said politician David Willetts .
60. What does the underlined word "idle" probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. engaged B. unemployed C. diligent D. busy
61. How many factors are mentioned in this passage that lead to the increase of unemployment?
A. 2 B.3 C. 4 D. 5

B. the New Deal is always successful in helping job hunters
C. homeless young people depend on local governments for permanent accommodation
D. most unemployed young people choose to live with their parents because they can have their own room

Over the past ten years, we have made some big steps forward in our common struggle for development, security and human rights. Aid and debt relief have increased, making the world economy somewhat fairer. At last, the world is taking action against HIV/AIDS. There are fewer wars between countries than there used to be; and many civil wars have ended. More Governments are elected by, and responsible for, the people whom they govern. And all States protect people from war crimes, racial cleansing and crimes against humanity.
But there is so much that still needs doing. The gap between rich and poor continues to grow. Many people still face serious crime, discrimination, and racial conflict. Nuclear weapons require urgent attention. Terrorism, and the reaction to it, is spreading fear and suspicion. It seems that we don"t even agree which threats are most important. Those who live on small islands may see global warming as the biggest danger. Those who live in a city that has suffered terrorist attacks, like New York, or Mumbai, or Istanbul, may feel that fighting against terrorism is more urgent. Others again may cite poverty, disease, or genocide. The truth is, these are all global threats. All of us should be concerned about all of them. Otherwise, we may" not succeed in dealing with any of them.
At this time of all times, we cannot afford to be divided. I know that you, the peoples of the world, understand this. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have given me throughout these ten difficult but exciting years.

Young Japanese people are evolving a new lifestyle for the 21st century based on the cell phones that few are now able to live without.
While about one-third of Japanese primary school students aged 7-12 use cell phones, by the time they get to high school, that figure has shot up to 96 percent, according to a government survey released last month. They are using their phones to read books, listen to music, chat with friends and surf the Internet -- an average of 124 minutes a day for high school girls and 92 minutes for boys.
While the wired world they now inhabit holds enormous advantages for learning and communicating, it also brings a downside, say experts who point to a rise in cyber-bullying and a growing inability among teenagers to deal with other people face to face. "Kids say what"s most important to them, next to their own lives, is their cell phone," said Masashi Yasukawa. "It"s a very scary world," he said. "As they reveal personal information about themselves, children can become prey (猎物) of adults who cheat or are sexually attracted to children. "
Education professor Tetsuro Saito said a survey of 1,600 middle school students aged around 14 found that most middle school cell phone users rarely used their phones to talk. Children seemed to want the security of communicating with someone, without the bother of dealing with a real person.
"Communication ability is bound to decline as cell phones and other devices are now getting between people," he said. Tomomi, 18, said: "I send some 20 emails a day. There are people I don"t talk with -- even if I see them at school, I just exchange mail with them. I guess we"re connected only by a machine."
Saito"s survey found that students can also use their cell phones as an emotional crutch (拐杖) , and the more problems they have at home, the more dependent they seem to become on their phones. More than 60 percent of students who said they do not enjoy being with their families send 20 or more emails a day, compared with 35 percent of those happy with their families.
And even if cell phones can bring comfort, it can come at a terrible cost.
64. Which of the following topics is not included in the passage?
A. Sending emails to people around. B. Doing reading and listening to music.
C. Watching television on the cell phone. D. Getting the psychological dependence.
65. What"s the meaning of the underlined word "downside" in Paragraph 3?
A. space below something solid or hard B. down part of a hill or mountain
C. decreasing of a certain figure D. negative part or disadvantage of something
66. Masashi says the cell phone is a scary world because the children will ________.
A. be exposed to a lot of frightening information
B. have their personal information exposed to some bad people
C. be attractive to some other children
D. go hunting with some adults who will cheat them
67. What will possibly be talked about in the paragraph that follows the passage?
A. The comfort brought by cell phones. B. The average cost of cell phones in Japan.
C. The high cost a teenager"s phone bill hits. D. The writer"s attitude towards the problem. |
