Healthy Diet“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.
There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.

Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu--- but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is much more serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the typical symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze！You don’t want to see the small drop of liquids blown out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting, eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!
小题1: In paragraph 4, we learn that ______.| A．flu injection can cause death | B．most old people die from flu | | C．flu is most common in summer | D．flu can kill old people easily |
小题2:Dealing with used tissues properly is important because ______.| A．it helps keep your classroom tidy | B．people hate picking up dirty tissues | | C．it prevents the spread of colds and flu | D．picking up lots of tissues is hard work |
小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?| A．Both colds and flu last the same time. | | B．Both colds and flu can be prevented by injection. | | C．Both colds and flu are caused by the same viruses. | | D．Both colds and flu have an aching symptom. |
小题4:Which is probably the best title for the passage?| A．Cold or Flu? | B．The Different Symptoms of a Cold and Flu | | C．Prevention Is Better Than Cure | D．Cover Your Nose and Mouth When Sneezing |

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和 D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most of us feel upset if we miss just one meal, and if we try to go without food for 12 hours we would really be uncomfortable. But there are some people who seem able to “fast” for very long periods.
Various records are claimed for long fast, but in most cases there is no medical proof and so the records are doubtful. One South African woman claimed that she lived for 102 days on nothinig but water and soda water.
There are great differences among living things in the ability to survive without food. For example , a tick（扁虱）, which lives on animals, may survive a whole year. Warm-blooded animals use up their stores of food in the body more quickly.
In fact, the smaller and more active the animal, the more quickly it uses up its reserves. A small bird starves to death in about five days, a dog in about twenty. In general, we can say that a warm-blooded creature will die when it has lost about half its normal weight.
This matter of weight is important. Man and other creatures live in a state of metabolic equiplibrium（新陈代谢的平衡）which means maintaining the body weight once a certain point has been reached. This regulation of body weight is done by thirst, hunger, and appetite.
When your blood lacks nutritional materials, this registers（记录）in the hunger center of the brain and you feel “hungry”. The body is crying out for any kind of fuel(food). And it is our appetite that sees to it hat we chooose a mixed diet, which is the kind the body needs.
小题1:According to this passage, a man will die _________.| A．when a certain point in losing weight has been reached. | | B．when his blood lacks nutritional material | | C．when his normal weight is lost | | D．when he goes without food for more than 12 hours |
小题2:The word “fast” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by ________.| A．eat no food | B．live merely on water and soda water | | C．live on nothing | D．remains alive for a long time without food |
小题3:A tick can survive much longer than a bird because ________.| A．a tick lives on animals | B．a tick is much smaller | | C．a bird is more active | D．both B and C |
小题4:A person feels hungry _________.| A．if he doesn’t choose a mixed diet | | B．because his body cries out for food | | C．when soemthing is wrong with regulation of body weight | | D．if there are not enough nutritional in his blood |
小题5:From the passage we can infer that the author ________.| A．believes the South African woman very firmly | | B．does not believe the South African woman at all | | C．is not certain whether the South African woman’s claim was true. | | D．is doubtful whether there was such a South African woman |

A team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.
"Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance," Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.
In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.
They found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, freinds and neighbors.
In another experiment, the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.
The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group (对照组) watched a 10-minute clip (电源片段) of the Seinfeld television show.
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants’ intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called ’intellectual’ activities for the same amount of time," Ybarra said.
The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
小题1:The underlined word "boosting" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.| A．improving | B．decreasing | C．preventing | D．training |
小题2:Which is not included in social interaction?| A．Having a talk with a neighbor. | B．Attending a birthday party. | | C．Watching TV at home alone. | D．Calling your classmates |
小题3:What’s the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?| A．To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence. | | B．To find out what is real social interaction. | | C．To learn how much time is needed for social interaction. | | D．To show the function of people’s cognition. |
小题4:Which of the following questions may be asked in the social interaction group in the experiment?| A．What does the author want to show us? | | B．Do you like living in a big city or a small one? | | C．Which word can be used to fill in the blank? | | D．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? |
小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?| A．Intellectual exercises improve memory. | | B．Different people have different ways of communication | | C．Communicating with others keeps you healthy. | | D．Social interaction makes you smart |

Are you nervous about climbing because you think it’s too dangerous? Do you feel you’re not fit enough to climb? Do you know how to start climbing?
Let’s consider the idea that climbing is dangerous. Being afraid is natural, but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safe. Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous. Accidents happen, but when they do, they tend to attract a lot of publicity. As a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality.
You cannot expect to start climbing straight away. Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time. It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness. Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing—go to the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period.
Discover as much as you can about climbing. Visit the library and find books especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation. Look up information on the Internet. Find out about equipment, methods and places to go.
Next, take a course on a climbing wall. There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors. Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area. These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course or join a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events.
At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.
小题1:The article is written by ______.| A．a doctor | B．an experienced climber | | C．a beginner | D．a fitness instructor |
小题2:The writer thinks a new climber should ______.| A．begin by becoming fit | | B．be aware of the causes of the accidents | | C．have the courage to meet the challenges | | D．do enough sports to get interested in climbing |
小题3:By climbing walls you can ______. | A．join a club you like | B．become qualified instructors | | C．gain controlled experience | D．take part in group-climbing events |
小题4:The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means ______.| A．the climb | B．the training | C．the equipment | D．the achievement |

For centuries, the body"s blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone"s life as nothing．
Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example, you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organizations will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
The expression "give someone the cold shoulder" probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.
"Out in the cold" means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise——he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be.
小题1:When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by "_____"．| A．I give him the cold shoulder | B．I think he is a cold-blooded man | | C．I think he is a cold fish | D．I"m likely to get cold feet |
小题2:If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say ______．| A．she is a cold-blooded killer | B．she gets cold feet | | C．she is a cold fish | D．she is out in the cold |
小题3:We can use the expression "_____" to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy．| A．cold-blooded | B．cold shoulder | C．cold feet | D．cold-hearted |
小题4:The topic of this passage is about _____．| A．the relationship between cold and our body | B．some expressions about friendship | | C．some expressions connected with cold | D．how cold weather comes into being |
