Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
Speaking about health, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivate a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.
For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults，men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions（脑震荡）in the past.
Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new MRI technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.
According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month，the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory，attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.
This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic（外伤的）brain injury” , like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported，even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a conc ussion.
The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.
小题1:The passage is most probably a _________________.| A．news report | B．research report | | C．story for soccer players | D．text for doctors |
小题2:From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have _________________.| A．significant effect on one’s brain | | B．little effect on one’s brain | | C．nothing to do with the brain injury | | D．one’s memory improved |
小题3:What is likely to be the cause of memory loss?| A．Playing soccer frequently. | B．Tests of their memory. | | C．White matter loss. | D．Information processing. |
小题4:The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to ________________.| A．remembering | B．misunderstanding | C．recalling | D．missing |

“Oh please God, no, no!” Stephen Eldredge cried out when he saw his wife, Shelli, badly wounded on the side of the road. She had broken actually every long bone in her body, along with her pelvis, jaw, and cheekbones. He was terrified his bride would bleed to death.
Stephen and Shelli had married just six months before near their home in South Jordan, Utah. They were in Hawaii on a family vacation with two of their sons. The family had rented electric motors and headed towards a nature preserve near Waikiki. But Shelli had fallen behind and the family turned back to make sure she was okay.
Shelli lost so much blood that her heart couldn’t function properly and she went into shock at the hospital. Physicians were able to make her come to herself. On the first and second days there, she lived through half a dozen operations. On day three, the worst of Stephen’s fears came true. Shelli didn’t wake. She had shown heart failure and lung failure. “I thought every heartbeat would be her last,” Stephen says.
As days passed with no change, one doctor gently asked if it was time to let Shelli go. An MRI（核磁共振）showed her brain didn’t have much chance of supporting life. Stephen couldn’t bear the thought of trapping his wife’s beautiful spirit in a body that would never work. If he kept her alive, what kind of life would she have ? He called family, religious leaders, and physician friends in Utah for guidance.
And he decided there still was a chance.
The family moved Shelli to a Utah hospital closer to home. In the next few weeks she started opening her eyes, but it wasn’t entirely clear how conscious she was. Nearly seven weeks after the accident, Stephen was joking with his sister in the hospital room when he saw Shelli smile, a big toothy grin. “Did you understand that?” he asked. She smiled again. Stephen fell to his knees in thanks.
Shelli’s recovery has been slow but steady. Initially, she couldn’t remember much of the previous months, including her own wedding. Shelli has endured 17 operations so far and may require more surgery. She will definitely need more months of recovery. But she is able to walk. “She’s got her life back. She’s able to love and be loved, and be the person she was.” Elovie says.
When Shelli hears about each step in her recovery, she calls it “miracle after miracle”. As for his experience, Stephen says, “This is a story of fear that was slowly replaced by faith.”
小题1: We learn from the first two paragraphs that .| A．Stephen and Shelli left home to hold the wedding ceremony. | | B．Shelli was mainly wounded in the back | | C．the couple were in Hawaii when the accident happened | | D．the accident happened on their way to Waikiki |
小题2: In the hospital room Shelli smiled for the first time after the accident because .| A．she liked people telling jokes. | | B．she had remembered all that had happened | | C．she was excited that she got her life back | | D．she understood the joke being talked about |
小题3: By saying “miracle after miracle”, Shelli means that .| A．she suffered what a terrible accident | | B．she appreciated the care of her husband so much | | C．the love for her family got her life back | | D．it really surprised her that she survived so many operations |
小题4:. After reading the passage, what impresses us most may be that.| A．Stephen’s not giving up | B．the doctor’s skill and hard work | | C．Shelli’s bravery and persistence | D．the couple’s faith |

Children brought up on healthy diets are more intelligent compared with their junk food eating partners, a new research suggests.
Kids fed a diet packed high in fats, sugars, and processed(加工) foods had lower IQs than those fed pasta(意大利面食), salads and fruit, it was found.
The effect is so great that researchers from the University of Bristol said those children with a “healthier” diet may get an IQ improvement.
Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child’s early as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life.
This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and “it is possible that good nutrition(营养)during this period may encourage excellent brain growth”
Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of around 14,000 children born in 1991 and 1992 as part of the West Country’s Avon Longitudinal(纵向的)Study of Parents and Children(ALSPAC).
Parents were questioned about the types and frequency of the food and drink their children consumed when they were three, four, seven and eight and a half years old. According to their different changing form, these children were marked and given grades which ranged from minus two for the most healthy to 10 for the most unhealthy.
In the research, IQ was measured of 4,000 children when they were eight and half years old, using a validated(经过认证的)test-the Wechsler Intelligence Scale(韦氏儿童智力量表)for Children.
The results found after taking account of some influential factors, a leading processed food diet at the age of three was associated with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, whether the diet was improved after that age.
Every 1 point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a 1.67 fall in IQ.
小题1: Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child’s early life because .| A．the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life. | | B．those children with a “healthier” diet must get an IQ improvement. | | C．children brought up on healthy diets are less intelligent. | | D．these children were given good grades. |
小题2: Which of the following in NOT true?| A．Those children with a “healthier” diet may get an IQ improvement. | | B．Good nutrition at any stage may encourage excellent brain growth. | | C．Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of about 14,000 children. | | D．Every 1 point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a 1.67 fall in IQ. |
小题3: The recults found if a child ate a leading processed food diet when he was 3, he would .| A．have a higher IQ | | B．have a higher IQ as long as he improved his diet | | C．have one IQ when he was 8 | | D．have a lower IQ whether he improved his diet |
小题4: Parents were questioned except when their children were years old.小题5: What is the best title of the passage?| A．Food for thought | | B．What is healthy food? | | C．Healthy diet improves children’s intelligence | | D．How to become clever? |
