Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the
doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods,
such as fried chicken and icecream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups
who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children
will buy less take away food.
There is anther argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree
with this because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops.
If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food or are always allowed to choose
what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk
to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer
games. Not only is this an pastime (消遣), it also give them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they
need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to
be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. |

A. their parents often cook meals for them
B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can"t choose what to eat
D. there are so many fast food shops around |
| 3. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _____. |
A. forcing
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving |
| 4. The main purpose of the passage is to _____. |

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little
environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,
it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注意地) and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you
are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their
policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,
but in England you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping out door, experiencing bad weather, and making do without
modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller,
more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with
no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite
with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have
obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead
trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects.
Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your
shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A
good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary. |
| 1.You needn"t ask for permission when camping in _____. |
A. national parks in England
B. most parts of Scotland
C. crowded lowland Britain
D. most parts of England |
| 2.The author thinks that a good campsite is one ______. |
A. With easy access
B. used previously
C. with modem conveniences
D. far away from beaches |
| 3. The last paragraph mainly deals with _____. |
A. protecting animals
B. building a campfire
C. camping in woodland
D. finding a campsite with privacy |
| 4. The passage is mainly about _____. |
A. the protection of campsites
B. the importance of wild camping
C. the human influence on campsites
D. the dos and don"ts of wild camping |

My most memorable experience will stay in my mind forever. For most people, horses are just animals
that should only be used for racing. Ever since 1 was a child, my dream was to ride a horse. When that time
finally carne, my heart beat a thousand times a minute.
It Was a warm summer day, and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home while
I wandered around to find something interesting. Suddenly I found a horse standing other women and children
in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully.
For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For
men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending information to other people, but a woman sees
it as a means of bonding (沟通). A woman call spend two weeks on vacation with her friend and, when she
returns home, telephone the same friend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Dr
Michael Lewis conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than
baby boys. Since a girl"s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more.
As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts (低语) in
reply. |

in the chemicals in its blood-stream. If the danger continues, it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as
possible.
Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared or aroused by other
emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert (警觉的) and ready
to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals
never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said
something in anger-or hit somebody-and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody
you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shout? It isn"t
always wise to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it"s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep your feelings of anger,
sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop,
and you can feel disturbed badly inside, it can actually be bad for your health. You can try to treat emotions as
if they were bananas in the cupboard.
You can hide them and you can pretend they don"t exist, but they"ll still be around. And at last you"ll have to
deal with them, just like those bananas. | | 1. By taking cat as an example, the author wants to show us that _______. | A. animals can"t control their feelings

C. people physical reactions are like those of animals in a way

B. we sometimes can"t control our feelings
C. we always do something wrong to other people
D. we don"t pay attention to our physical changes | | 3. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that ______. | A. there"s no way to deal with our feelings
B. we should put some bananas in a cupboard when we"re angry or scared
C. feelings will gradually disappear when we hold them in
D. we should neither express our feelings freely nor hide the bad feelings inside | | 4. The author"s purpose in writing this article is to _______. | A. tell us that it"s pretty good to keep our feelings inside
B. give some advice on how to express our feelings freely
C. make us deal with our feelings in a wise way
D. make us know it isn"t always good to express our feelings freely | 最新试题
