A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress (压力) management. He  41   a glass of water and asked the audience, “How  42  do you think this glass of water is?”

       The students’ answers ranged (变化)   43  20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the absolute  44  . It depends on how  45  you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n)  46   , I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to  47  an ambulance(救护车). It is exactly the  48   weight, but the longer I hold it, the  49  it becomes.” The whole audience became silent, lost in thought.

       After a moment, the lecturer continued, “ 50  we carry our burden(负担) all the time,  51  , we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier,  52  heavy for us to bear.

       “What you have to do is to  53  the glass, rest for a while  54  holding it up again.”

       As is shown in the story above, we have to put down the burden periodically,  55  we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.

       So before you  56  home from work tonight, put the burden of  57  down. Don’t carry it back  58 . You can pick it up tomorrow.

Sitting for more than three hours a day can decrease a person’s life expectancy(预期寿命) by two years, even if he or she is physically active and gets rid of dangerous habits like smoking, according to a study. Watching TV for more than two hours a day can worsen that problem, decreasing life expectancy by another 1.4 years.

The analysis(分析) comes just two years after Australian researchers found that people who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause than people who said they spent less than two hours a day watching TV. Those watching TV more than four hours a day were also 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular(心血管的) disease. “Sedentary(久坐的) behavior is something we need to pay attention to, beyond telling people to get 30 minutes of activity a day,” said Peter T. Katzmarzyk, one of the lead researchers. But while the evidence of illness is increasing, it remains difficult for many people to find time to get on their feet, especially if they do desk jobs.

Dr. Katzmarzyk said, “Try to stand as much as you can. Instead of emailing someone in the office, just get up and go to talk to them.” However, he added, standing shouldn’t be an alternative to exercising, but an alternative to sitting. “Several studies show that when you’re sitting, your leg muscles are completely inactive, this is when you run into trouble managing blood glucose(血糖).”

32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Watching TV too long can worsen our mental health.

B. We should be active and give up smoking.

C. Sitting for too long a day can shorten one’s life.

D. Smoking too much can be harmful to health.

33. What does Dr. Katzmarzyk think of sedentary behavior?

A. It warns people to exercise 30 minutes a day.

B. It’s a bad behavior worth considering seriously.

C. It can lead to death at once.

D. It is good for desk job workers.

34. According to Dr. Katzmarzyk, if you are sitting all the time, you may _________.

A. phone your friends and talk about your problem

B. put on weight quickly and become more inactive

C. want to have more sugar for your meals

D. find it hard to keep your blood glucose proper.

35. The researchers draw the conclusion (得出结论) on the effect of sedentary behavior by ______.

A. listing figures (数据)               B. doing judging

C. giving examples                       D. classifying (分类) facts

       36  .You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
     1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying.    37    A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
     2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
     3. Make good use of your time in class.     38  .Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
   4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.  39  If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

       40  .You will probably discover them after you have tried these.
A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

B. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say

D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

E. Maybe you are an average student.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. This will help you understand the next class.

 If you think a letter is too slow, why not try ____ a telegram?

    I live in a city, and I like quiet life. I hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors but it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months ago and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.
    One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.
    That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.
    I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbour” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.
    It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

3. The neighbors moved to live next door to the author because       .

    B. their personal documents were used by their former neighbor
    C. they didn’t want to live in such a noisy home as before

Basketball is still a young game. It’s over a hundred years   61   . In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was so bad   62    the students had to stay inside. As they couldn’t play outside, they were   63   (happy), and some even got into fights from time to time.

  At the college, a teacher 64 (call) James Naismith was asked to invent a game so that the students might have something to play with in cold winters.  65   was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played inside , and the court (球场)was not very large.

Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented 66  kind of ball game . It was a fast,   wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played   67    two teams. To make a score, the ball had to   68  ( throw) into the basket ten feet above the floor on the wall . 

 At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr. Naismith wanted to throw the ball into a box.

Have you ever had a headache during a test? Have you ever been too worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is.

Not all stress is bad for you. Some kinds of stress can help you get things do better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are being asked to give a speech to your class. Stress sometimes can help push you to make full preparation for a test. However, too much stress can result in anger, depression and other related problems, which we need to take serious.

There are many things in our life what might cause stress—having too much homework, taking a difficult test, and having economic problems.

It’s impossible to live in a life completely free of stress, so you should learn to deal with stress. The best way reduce stress is to have a balance life. If you get enough sleep, eat properly, take more exercise and have enough fan time, you’ll probably feel less stressed.

It is the injury from breathing cigarettes that has led to the invention of e­cigarettes. Using these cigarettes requires small power from battery and these cigarettes are also available in various flavors and varied nicotine(尼古丁) levels. Owing to the fact that the charge from a short cable(电缆) is required, carrying the electronic cigarettes can't be that easy in some case. This means that the smoking habits of individuals are in fact controlled! Also，the human body is protected from harmful smoke that is not given off by the electrical version of these New Age cigarettes.

The cigarettes are in a fine pack and they are durable (持久的)! For the first time ever，tobacco smokers do not have to carry matches and lighters which may cause burns to their finger tips and boring holes into their clothes! The result is basic dignity for the smokers because they will not disrespect the non­smokers among them by polluting the air that they breathe. Electronic cigarettes and the packages they come in can also be reused，which means that a lot of money can be saved.

They are environmentally friendly(环保). For starters, this kind of cigarettes cannot be put on unless with a source of an electrical current. This means that rooms and pathways do not, under any circumstances, get filled with smoke just because a smoker passed by! The smoke is done away, meaning the air, even around a smoker, is always fresh! Disposals (处理) for the cigarettes have also been invented so that there are no harmful smoking bits and pieces carelessly thrown away which pollute the environment!

E­cigarettes have made the world a better place at the very least. Those who are addicted to smoking on a regular or even irregular basis can therefore do so responsibly and give better consideration to their health.

5．It's learned from Paragraph 1 that         ．

A．the original smoking habits of smokers are hard to control

B．e­cigarettes have different tastes and nicotine levels

C．the electronic cigarettes are convenient to carry

D．the short cable is used to determine how fully the batteries are charged

6．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．Why do e­cigarettes produce no smoke.

B．E­cigarettes are environmentally friendly.

C．Why are disposals for the cigarettes invented.

D．E­cigarettes benefit both smokers and non­smokers.

7．According to the author, e­cigarettes         ．

A．matter less to heavy smokers  B．are right alternatives(代替物）to smokers

C．shouldn't be overvalued（ 过分重视）  D．should be made cheap

8．What's the purpose of this passage?

A．To introduce an invention.   B．To describe the wide spread of e­cigarettes.

C．To explain the injury from breathing cigarettes.

D．To show how to smoke e­cigarettes.
