Between school, homework, sports, your afterschool job, and hanging out with friends, it may feel
like there"s no time for healthy eating. And when you do stop to eat, it"s probably tempting to go the
quick and easy route by grabbing a burger and fries, potato chips, or candy.
Even if you take time to eat three meals a day, you may still feel hungry at times. This is natural-during
teens, a person"s body demands more nutrients to grow. What"s the answer? Healthy snacks. Snacking
on nutritious food can keep your energy level high and your mind alert without taking up a lot of your
time. Snacks are a great way to satisfy that hunger and get all the vitamins and nutrients your body
needs.
But you need to pay attention to what you eat. Filling your face with a large order of fries after class
may give you a temporary help, but a snack high in fat and calories will only slow you down in the long
run.
To keep energy levels going-and avoid weight gain-keep clear of foods with lots of simple
carbohydrates (sugars) like candy bars or soda. Look for foods that contain complex carbohydrates
like wholegrain breads and cereals and combine them with proteinrich snacks such as peanut butter or
lowfat yogurt (酸奶) or cheese.
Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart. Be careful of the health claims on food packages.
Just because something is "all natural" or "pure" doesn"t necessarily mean that it"s nutritious. For example, "all natural" juice drinks or sodas can be filled with sugar (which is, after all, a natural ingredient) but all
that sugar means they"ll be high in calories and give you little nutrition.
A granola (麦片) bar is a good example of a snack that people think is healthy. Although granola
bars can be a good source of certain vitamins and nutrients, many also contain a great deal of fat,
including a particularly harmful type of fat called trans fat (反式脂肪酸). Check the Nutrition Facts label
on the package to be sure. |
| 1. People think that granola bar is healthy because ________. |
A. it is a good source of calories
B. it provides trans fat
C. it contains some vitamins
D. it is natural |
| 2. In choosing healthy snacks, we should try to make sure that ________. |
A. they are all natural or pure
B. they are high in nutrition
C. their packages are good
D. they contain harmless fat |
| 3. Teens need snacks to ________. |
A. keep a good figure
B. gain weight
C. help grow
D. keep healthy |
| 4. According to the passage, all the following snacks are good EXCEPT ________. |
A peanut butter

Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. Most people buy medical
insurance to help pay for medical care. The government only helps pay for some medical care for
the old and the people who are on low incomes. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance
have become an important political subject.
In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America
sometimes go straight to an expert. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the
treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will
usually recommend a specialist, which will save more time and money both for the patients and the
public fund (基金).
In Britain, doctors do not go to people"s homes when they are ill. People always make
appointments to see the doctor in the doctor"s office. In a serious situation, people call for an
ambulance. In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical
insurance. The government will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care. |
| 1. The majority of Americans pay for medical care ________. |
A. through the national health care service
B. by buying medical insurance
C. with the help of the government
D. by increasing their income |

A. Americans don"t trust family doctors
B. family doctors are helpless to the patients
C. he is more in favor of the British medical care service

| 3. In the States, seriously ill patients will ________. |
A. be treated if they have an insurance

A. Health Care in the United States and Britain

Many Chinese have been greatly shocked by the traffic accident caused by the drunk driver Sun
Weiming, who has killed five and injured some others in Chengdu, Sichuan. However, such a case is
not rare.
Today, traffic accidents may have been regarded as a social problem. The car has killed and
disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood
on the street flows actually from rude behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral
rights of others. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless but just ordinary people
acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness
is no excuse when one"s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go
even far beyond carelessness that can be imagined.
Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed
to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can change drivers" reactions, slow their
judgment, and make them blind to the dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that
it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep his/her emotions under control.
Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem isn"t only put upon drivers. Street
walkers regularly ignore or break traffic regulations. They are blamed in most vehiclewalker accidents,
and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.
Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety
standards for vehicles have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through regular road
inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate
has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement
in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to make people believe
that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these
things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. |
| 1. Traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because ________. |
A. auto driving has become dangerous and harmful in today"s society
B. people usually pay no attention to law and morality when driving
C. they have caused serious psychological problems among drivers
D. the car has killed and disabled more people than any weapon in history |
| 2. Who are NOT mentioned to be responsible for the road accidents in the passage? |
A. Careless bicycleriders.
B. Careless people walking in the street.
C. Irresponsible auto drivers.
D. Irresponsible auto manufacturers. |
| 3. By discussing solutions to traffic accidents, the author seems to be ________. |
A. doubtful and hopeless
B. angry and disappointed
C. objective and concerned
D. anxious and annoyed |
| 4. The author writes this passage to ________. |
A. show his worries about drunk driving
B. help protect street walkers from car accidents
C. discuss traffic problems and possible solutions

Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in
child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time
with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves
balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing
demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents" biggest,
and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents,
particularly fathers, "end up retiring much later." For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.
Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he"s also worried
that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he"s
learned that young at heart doesn"t mean young. Lately he"s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to
keep up his energy. "My body is aging," says Metcalf. "You can"t get away from that."
Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work
with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. "They worry they"ll
be mistaken for grandparents, or that they"ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery
school," says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often
a much bigger one: "that they won"t be alive long enough to support and protect their child," she says.
Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late
and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had
twins. "We both wanted children," says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have
given the couple what they desired for years, "a sense of family." Kids of older dads are often smarter,
happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. "The dads are older,
more mature," says Dr. Silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting." |
| 1. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing? |
A. Older parents are often better prepared financially.
B. Older parents can take better care of their children.
C. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.
D. Older parents can better balance their resources against children"s demands. |
2. What does the author mean by saying "For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream"
(Lines 7-8, Para. 1. ) |
A. They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.
B. They can"t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.
C. They can"t get full pension unless they work some extra years.
D. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age. |
| 3. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________. |
A. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children
B. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age
C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies
D. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy |
| 4. What"s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst? |
A. Approaching of death.
B. Slowing down of their pace of life.
C. Being laughed at by other people.
D. Being mistaken for grandparents. |
