Doctors say obesity,also known as severe overweight,is a complex condition.A doctor may advise medical interventions(医疗干预) in addition to changes in behavior.But experts say the more successful weightloss plans include a wellbalanced diet and exercise. People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use.To lose weight,you can reduce the number of calories you take in,or increase the number you use,or both.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say to lose weight,a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week.This could include fast walking,sports or strength training. A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the United States.Researchers at Stanford University studied more than three hundred overweight women,mostly in their thirties or forties.Each woman went on one of the four plans:Atkins,The Zone,Ornish or LEARN.The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.At the end of a year,the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most,more than four and a half kilograms on average. Christopher Gardner led the study,reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.Also,he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. But last week,another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting.Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.And often they gained back even more.But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised. 小题1:All the following is helpful to lose weight EXCEPT________.A.a healthy diet | B.physical exercise | C.medical interventions | D.being polite to others | 小题2:You are most likely to gain too much weight if________.A.you eat the same number of calories as the number you use | B.you take in less calories than the number you use | C.you take in more calories than the number you use | D.you take exercise regularly on the weekdays | 小题3:The third paragraph mainly tells us that________.A.there are four popular dieting plans in the USA | B.the Atkins diet has the best effect on losing weight | C.lots of women attended diet classes every day | D.dieting plan is the most important | 小题4:Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A.The change of your life habits can help you lose weight. | B.You’d better exercise once a week to lose some weight. | C.The Atkins diet may be good because of lowering the intake of sugar. | D.Some people gain weight back for their unhealthy diet. | 小题5:Which one of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Successful Weightloss Plans | B.Four Popular Dieting Plans | C.What Is the Atkins Diet? | D.Few People Fail in Losing Weight |

Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely. Your eyes--Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters (厘米) from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest. When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect (反射) on the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes. Your hands--Hand injuries can happen because the hands are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow this rule: Stop sometimes and exercise your hands and fingers in different ways. Your back--Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back and your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck. Enjoy your computer, but use it safely. 小题1:How many kinds of computer injuries are mentioned in this passage?A.One. | B.Two | C.Three. | D.Four. | 小题2:A computer screen may injure your eyes if .A.you sit 60 centimeters away | B.you remember to look away | C.your eyes are too close to it | D.the window is on your left or right | 小题3:Your eyes and hands will be safe if _________.A.you work near a window | B.you often take rests from working | C.you use a keyboard for a long time | D.the window is behind you | 小题4:Which sentence is NOT true according to this passage?A.You should sit with your back straight while you work on a computer. | B.Staying in front of a computer too long may injure your eyes. | C.When you work on a computer, your hands almost move in the same way. | D.The writer thinks that computer is bad for your health. | 小题5:What would be the best title for the text?A.How to protect your eyes | B.How to protect your hands | C.How to use a computer safely | D.How to protect your back |

Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don"t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you. Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough. Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them. Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories. 小题1:Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ______A.bring weight problems | B.bring you much trouble in your life | C.make you worried about your foods | D.make you hate delicious foods | 小题2:In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight, you"d better__A.drink much water and have vegetables only | B.not eat the food in high fat | C.not accept invitations to feasts | D.turn away from delicious foods | 小题3:According to the passage, ___ is a necessary part to stop you from putting on weight.A.Vegetables | B.Water | C.calories of energy | D.physical exercise | 小题4:Many people can"t help putting on weight after the holidays because they _______ .A.can"t control themselves | B.go to too many feasts | C.enjoy delicious foods | D.can"t help turning away from the foods |

Studies show that laughter is something that makes you feel calm or relaxed for both physical and psychological wounds though it may seem futile to laugh in the face of pain and fear. When Dan Rather interviewed comedian Bill Cosby just one week after his son, Ennis, was killed, Cosby said, “I think it is time for me to tell people that we have to laugh. You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, you can survive it.” Call it a flashlight for dark times: laughter just seems to adjust attitude better than anything else. Inspirational speaker Steve Rizzo recalls a TV interview with an injured firefighter a few days after 9.11.The man had fallen more than 30 stories in one of the towers and had broken a leg. Everyone was crying, and the reporter asked, “How is it that you’ve come out of this alive?” He looked at her and without missing a beat, said, “Look, lady, I’m from New York and I’m a firefighter; that’ all you need to know.” “Everyone laughed and though the laughter was only a couple of seconds,” says Rizzo. “Sometimes that’s all you need to catch your second breath. Laughter gives you that couple of seconds. You’re sending a message to your brain, and the message is: If you can still laugh even a little among the pain, you are going to be OK.” Of course, there is a difference between laughing off a serious situation and laughing off the fear that results. The firefighter was doing the latter, states Rizzo, the author of Becoming a Humorous Being, and so should we. “If there is anything we have learnt from 9.11, it’s how precious life really is,” she says. “We have to send a message that our spirit won’t die. One important thing that unites us is our ability to laugh.” 小题1:The writer uses the examples of the comedian and the firefighter to show .A.laughter is a good way to get rid of pain and fear | B.laughter is the best way to cure psychological wounds | C.it is your attitude that decides whether you can survive the pain or not | D.laughing off a serious situation is different from laughing off the fear that results | 小题2:We can infer from the passage that Steve Rizzo is .A.a reporter | B.a soldier | C.a firefighter | D.a doctor | 小题3:The underlined word futile in the first paragraph means .A.hopeless | B.useless | C.careless | D.worthless | 小题4:From the passage, we can know that Americans are .A.really inspired after 9.11 | B.hardly united after 9.11 | C.nearly surprised by 9.11 | D.greatly hurt by 9.11 |

Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits—including making your brain sharper. Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions (认知功能) such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University. Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further. The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says. 小题1:There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _____.A.believe overweight only affects our body | B.have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mind | C.do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive ability | D.are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions | 小题2:The result of Gunstad’s study shows that ______.A.losing weight has little effect on people’s memory | B.losing weight can improve people’s mental functions | C.overweight people are likely to have psychology problems | D.overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly | 小题3:What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A.Slim people are smarter than overweight people. | B.Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight. | C.Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation. | D.Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise. | 小题4:Which of the following is the best title for th e text?A.Body Weight and Health | B.Losing Weight by Operation | C.Ways to Improve Mental Functions | D.Losing Weight to S harpen Your MindD |

Although considered an excellent exercise, jumping rope has never received widespread acceptance because of two reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many regard it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive(重复乏味的)—not as something fun or enjoyable. As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find a proper way to practise it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳)over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps: a single bounce, a double-bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping. Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform equally to each other. In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life. 小题1: One reason that can explain why rope-jumping has not spread widely is that . A.it benefits the cardiovascular system | B.it is too difficult for people to learn to jump | C.it is believed to be boring and repetitive | D.it requires little equipment, time and space | 小题2: The first sentence in Paragraph 2 means that in rope-jumping. A.there is only one proper way to follow | B.the usual way should not be used again | C.the easiest way is always the best one | D.there are different kinds of ways to follow | 小题3:According to the researchers, jumping rope . A.only prepares the brain for learning | B.is suitable for students only | C.helps both brain hemispheres work together | D.can be dangerous for old people | 小题4:What does the writer think of rope-jumping? A.He is strongly against it. | B.He is for it. | C.The passage doesn’t mention it. | D.He knows little about it. |
