根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。      Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say,
skip it all. None of these products is likely to make you any healthier. Below, we look at four major myths
about the benefits of drinking water.   1 Experts say there"s an easy way to judge. If you are not thirsty,
your fluid intake is likely "just right"
     Myth No 1: Drink eight glasses each day.
     Scientists say there"s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day.   2 "Nobody really
knows," says Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania.
     Myth No.2: Lots of water equals healthier skin.
     The body is already 60 percent water.   3 Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited
effect."It"s such a tiny part of what"s in the body," says Goldfarb." It"s very unlikely that one"s getting any
benefit."
     Myth No.3:   4
A more accurate statement may be: Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters."Water is a great strategy
for dieters because it has no calories," says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh."So you
can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction." But water is not magical, she adds.
"Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too."
     Myth No. 4: It"s easy to get dehydrated (脱水的) during a workout.
     Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight.   5   "It"s also obvious
that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water," says Goldfarb. "But for a walk in
the park, no water bottle is necessary." ? A. So where does the standard advice come from?
B. But it"s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant.
C. So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water.
D. Drinking extra water leads to weight loss.
E. Drink as much water as you can.
F. So, if you take a 200-pound man, he"s 120 pounds of water.
G. But first, how do you know if you"re drinking enough water

完形填空。     Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now,
a teenager with   1 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a
diary and a blog are very   2  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in   3 diary?
     The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   4   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary
like a book full of   5 that she does not want to   6 . It"s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   7   a
diary will probably write nearly the same information.
     I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   8 . She writes about things like waking up early
for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.   9 I was her age, I wrote about the
same things, but  10  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place
because I was  11  that my sister might read it!
     The biggest  12  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during
high school and wrote something  13  about her in my diary, she would never know.  14 , if my sister ever
wrote something bad about a friend, that friend  15  read her blog and get a"cry".
     There are also  16  of blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary,"Nobody
cares about me,"  17  would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her
best friends would  18  respond (回应) and tell her how much they  19  her. Blogs help people  20  in contact
with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.

Editor,
     Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. The problem is that
the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning all fast-food restaurants and
discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.
     These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get
an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can"t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less
than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?
     There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100.
Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for
about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
     Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. Fast-food restaurants
are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants
cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for
most students.
     The City Council claims that local merchants, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist
business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would
encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.
     Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a
tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to
Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the some kind of tire for $9. Again, I think the ban on all food
chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city. Wes Woodrow 9th-Grade Student at
Brockingham High School

     In this fast-shifting world, there can be no guarantees attached to any particular job. But there is much
that you can do to protect yourself from the change of society, by equipping yourself with the skills to
manage your career more effectively. You need to be a career activist.
     If you lost your main source of income tomorrow, could you find a different source to replace it? The
most im-portant thing in protecting yourself now and in the future is ensuring that you have choices. Don"t
let yourself be held back by a lack of skill development, or fear of change. Some people have been good
performers in their own or-ganization but discovered that they are stuck. Because they are so closely related
to a particular company or indus-try, their skills are not readily transferred to other jobs.
     Don"t put all your eggs in one basket. If you limit yourself to one particular area or sector, you limit your
opportuni-ty, too. In a global market place, many jobs come and go quickly as changes in the stock market.
Today"s hottest job may not exist tomorrow. If you love computers, then this work represents a great
choice. But don"t enter a field just because you think that"s where the hot jobs are; even if the job is available,
it may not match well with your own skills and abili-ties. Start with entry of your own strengths and interests,
then see where you may match up best in the job market.

1. How can we ensure that we have choices if we lose the main source of income?

A. Be a good performer in our own organization.
B. Try to develop our skills and be a career activist.
C. Enter a field where the hot jobs are.
D. Transfer to other jobs that use computers.

2. Some people are afraid of change because _______.

A. they have got a hot job
B. they have no other better choices
C. they have got used to a certain job
D. they have no other skills and interests

3. "Put your eggs in one basket" in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A. sticking to only one particular job
B. trying your best to do something well
C. many jobs come and go quickly
D. entering a field where the hot jobs are

4. What is the best job for you to choose according to the writer?

A. Something that is both hot and interesting.
B. Something that brings you good source of income.
C. Something that will always exist in the future.
D. Something involving your strengths and interests.

     Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and
a fight (打架) began.
    What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants (争执者)
sit down with peer mediators.
     Peer mediators are students with special training (训练) in this kind of problems. Peer mediators
help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use:
1. Put what you think clearly but don"t say any-thing to hurt the other. Begin with"I feel…" instead
of"You always…"
2. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don"t stop the other person"s words.
3. Keep looking at the other person"s eyes when he or she talks.
4. Try to see the other person"s side of the prob-lem.
5. Never put anyone down. Saying things like "You are foolish (愚蠢)" makes the talk difficult.
6. Try to find a result that makes both people happy.
     Peer mediators never decide the result or the win-ner. They don"t decide who is right and who
is wrong. Instead, they help the two students to find their own"win-win" result. A"win-win" result
can make every-one feel good.
     Peer mediators" work is often successful just be-cause it gets people to talk to each other. And
getting people to talk to each other is the first step in finding a "win-win" result.

     In the Ituri rain forest in America live many different tribes, one of   1 is Pygmy. Most of the Pygmies
are not taller than four feet. They   2 only about eighty pounds each. In spite of their small size, they are
the best  3 among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be   4 by them. They can shoot three
or four arrows so   5 that often the last one leaves the bow   6 the first has hit its mark. If an arrow should
miss its   7 , the impatient Pygmy may become very angry,   8 his arrows and step on them.
     Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are   9 moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for
more than a few days. In their camps there is no  10  at all except some weapons such as spears, bows, and
arrows. There are   11 cooking pots either. Food is eaten  12  or smoked over a fire. So when the tribe
moves to a new camp there is  13  to carry except their weapons and babies too small to walk.
     Pygmies can move on the trees almost as skillfully as  14 . Often they travel great distances through the
branches without  15  the ground. One of the  16  facts about the small men and women is their appetite(胃
口). A Pygmy can  17 sixty bananas at a single meal   18 quantities of meat. After eating, they will  19  on
their hard earth bed and groan all night. But in the morning, they are ready to eat the same amount of food all
over again.
     In spite of the  20  life, Pygmies are almost always good-natured and helpful. They seldom lie, steal or
fight among themselves.
