schools, students are often told to turn off their video games and get some exercise. The schools have
found a new way for their students to work out while playing a new video game. West Virginia is one
of the heaviest states in the country. About half of its fifthgraders are considered to be overweight, and
their parents are worried about that. To get them moving on a healthier path, the state"s public schools
are using a video game called "Dance Revolution".
To use the game, players should stand on a special mat in front of a TV screen. Following arrows
on the screen, players must move their feet to the specific symbols on the mat. Players must move
quickly, touching symbols on the mat at just the right time. With each song, they get more exercise.
"If we can get children to change their behavior at a young age, they will hopefully grow up to be
healthy and active adults," said Carl Callison of Mountain State Blue Cross, a health care company.
West Virginia is ranked among the top three heaviest states. About a third of West Virginians are
considered to be obese (肥胖的). Even more are considered to be overweight. Extra weight can lead
to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes (糖尿病), some cancers, and many
other health issues.
"One out of three children born in West Virginia today will have diabetes by the time they grow up,"
said Nidia Henderson, a manager for the public employees" insurance program. "That"s a terrible thing
and not acceptable."
All of West Virginia"s 157 middle schools are using the video game. School officials hope that all
public schools in the state will use the game within the next three years. However, officials emphasize
that the game is not meant to substitute physical education and health classes. The game will be part of
physical education classes and afterschool programs.
B. Because it can help students get a better shape.
C. Because losing weight is necessary to students.
D. Because it can make students" activities colorful.
B. what are needed in the game
C. how to play a dance video game
D. who can practise the game
B. Overweight may cause a lot of diseases.
C. The problem of students" overweight has been realized.
D. There are only 157 middle schools in West Virginia.
B. change
C. practise
D. stop
B. Dancing for Health
C. Overweight in West Virginia

mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle
often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that_
overconsumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so
much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third
of a typical household"s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged
twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running
out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases
which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The
solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many
supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming
round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for
example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging
with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially
true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more
packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much
unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but
we have a mountain to climb.
B. Recycling too many wastes.
C. Making more products than necessary.
D. Having more material than is needed.
B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of supermarkets
D. the fact of packaging overuse
B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage
D. leads to a waste of land
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D. Other products are better packaged than food.
B. Needless material is mostly recycled.
C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.
conversation.There we were,walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day.But I became invisible,absent
from the conversation.
[2] The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel
absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear
the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were,four friends going down the highway,unable
to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.
[3] Why is it that the more connected we get,____________?Every advance in communications
technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互动). With email and instant messaging over
the Internet,we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail,you can
conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.
[4] More_and_more,I_find_myself hiding_behind_email to_do_a_job_ meant_for conversation.Or
being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn"t really have time to talk.The industry devoted to
helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
[5] So I"ve put myself on technology restriction:no instant messaging with people who live near me,no
cellphoning in the presence of friends,no letting the voice mail pick up when I"m home.
(within 15 words)
However,I felt left out as if we were not conducting the conversation.
When many of us take a vacation, relaxing is what we want.But we usually return home tired and weak.
It doesn"t have to be this way.
Come home refreshed after an active trip!Don"t be too tired!
Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all.It"s all in defining(定义) what an active vacation is.
We don"t expect you to run slowly, or go backpacking.Well, we ask the vacationers who are not active
not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets,
exploring a nature protect, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.
These kinds of activities aren"t just good for your physical health.They improve your mental health,
even your spiritual health.And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.And after all, isn"t that
what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as
they are active and healthy.
A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary.Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and
you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding.
Don"t allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water.Whether it is the ocean, a
swimming pool, or a tree－lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even
walking. Heck, merely standing in waist－high water is a good exercise, thanks to the action of the water.And you will feel so much more alive!
Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing.But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations
don"t happen in a car seat.Don"t wait for tiredness or nature"s call to get you to pull over.Frequently get
out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun.It"s important for your health and energy, and it
makes travelling a lot more active and interesting.

Football is an extremely popular sport around most of the world. However, as the same with anything
that people feel over interested in, strong feelings sometimes get out of hand. English fans have been
known for quarreling endlessly and even fighting in the stands(看台). Several violent actions in a game
between Argentina and Chile in 1964 resulted in the death of 309 people. But up until now at least, there
has been only one football war.
The war took place between EL Salvador and Honduras, two Central American countries. The year
was 1969, and for many years the Salvador economy had been in a frightening condition: too many
people with too little land and too few jobs created a situation of terrible poverty. As a result, many poor
Salvador had been secretly crossing into Honduras looking for work, and later they formed a.strong sense that they were mistreated there. So unfriendly feelings were already very strong at the beginning of a
World Cup match between the two countries.
The first game of the three-game play-offs was held in Honduras, and the home team got a l:0 win in
the last minute of play. Fighting broke out afterward in the streets, and the stadium was set on fire. The
second game was played in EL Salvador, and the El Salvador team won. More violence and fire
followed. By the time the third game was played in Mexico City, one actual war appeared certain by all
means. And that is exactly what happened. Immediately after El Salvador"s close victory, armies began
marching along the border of the two countries. Then El Salvador attacked Honduras and bombed its
airport. The war was over in less than a week, but ill feelings between the two countries .

people buy as many as two or three different papers.
Why do people read newspapers?
Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country and in other parts
of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same
day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months
or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one
person to another andnever entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what
happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we
can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or
concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers.
In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house
or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost.
B. all people read newspapers
C. every person in America or England reads newspapers
D. all families read newspapers
B. only world news
C. home news and world news
D. important things
B. Newspapers not only supply us with news from all over the world but also give us a lot of useful information.
C. Hundreds of years ago news was not wholly true because it was told in spoken words.
D. If you have no place to live in, you can put notice in a newspaper and then you will certainly get a room to live in.
B. requirements for a job or a house
C. information about a lost person
D. all of the above
