The International Agency for Research on Cancer(IRIC)，part of the United Nations’ World Health Organization(WHO), claims that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields(RF/EMF)（射频电磁场）is possibly carcinogenic(致癌的) to humans. The main sources of RF/EMF are radios, televisions, microwave ovens, cellphones, and Wi-Fi devices.

Even if we want to, we can’t eliminate（消除） our exposure or our children’s, to RF/EMF. But, we many need to limit that exposure, when possible. That was among the conclusions of a controversial survey article published in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure entitled “Why children absorb more microwave radiation than adults: The consequences.” From an analysis of relevant studies, the authors argue that children and adolescents are at considerable risk from devices that radiate microwaves. The following points were offered for consideration:

●          Fetuses(胎儿) are even more vulnerable than children. Therefore pregnant women should not expose their fetus to microwave radiation.

●          Adolescent girls and women should not place cellphones in their bras or in hijabs (headscarf)

●          Cellphone manual warnings make clear an overexposure problem exists.

●          Government warnings have been issued but most of the public are unaware of such warnings.

●          Wireless devices are radio transmitters, not toys. Selling toys that use them should be monitored more closely.

  Children and fetuses absorb more microwave radiation, according to the authors, because their bodies are relatively smaller, their skulls are thinner, and their brain tissue is weaker.

     This is not a call to throw out all electronic devices. However, at the very least, it should open up the discussion about different safety levels for adults versus children. Hopefully more studies will be done to check or contradict the assumptions so far. In the meantime, are the government’s current regulations adequate? The exposure levels they warn against haven’t seemed to have been updated for more than 19 years.

In a Network World opinion article ominously titled “Is Wi-Fi killing us … slowly?” columnist Mark Gibbs makes the point that “…laws and warnings are all very well but it’s pretty much certain that all restrictions on products that use microwave technology will error(犯错) on the safe side; that is, the side that’s safe for industry, not the side of what’s safe for society.” Gibbs then added this ominous closing question, “Will we look back (sadly) in fifty or a hundred years and marvel at how Wi-Fi and cellphones were responsible for the biggest health crisis in human history?”

After we meet people it is up to us to make them our friends. Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendly company, flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness, and punctuality (守时). After all, “ to make a friend, be a friend” is not such a big and difficult order. There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some elements which do have an effect on people in fundamental psychology(基础心理学) or not.

   If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual (随意的) questions may bring him out of his shell. Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person, for you to talk, or to listen. Either way the goal is to make yourself pleasant.

   Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently. To have anyone “ hang on our words” is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody. For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction, but when it is our turn to be audience, let us remember how we felt as the actor, and let’s be genuinely (真正地) interested in what the other fellow is saying.

   Other people will like us, if we like them. If you want friends, keep your mind and heart open to friendship. Be alive to the other person’s world.

21. This passage is mainly about_______.

Perhaps Joe Cheng has become popular with thousands of fans and has been chased by girls and middles students. But do you know his resume(简历)?

Yes. Joe Cheng, who plays the most popular boy in high school in the popular Taiwanese drama “It Started with a Kiss.”

Although thousands of girls have fallen in love with him for his cute smile and strong body, Cheng, 27, doesn’t want to rest on his good looks. He made the move from modeling to acting six years ago, and now he is trying another career－this time, to be a singer. Cheng worked on his first album, “Joe Cheng’s Day”, for a year. It came out on September 7.

Apart from recording his CD, Cheng has been practicing dance moves for his music video. Given his height, 188cm, this was not an easy job. “I had bad dreams about dancing,” he said.

Cheng’s life has had many ups and downs. His parents divorced when he was in primary school and he has lived with his father ever since. After dropping out of high school, he took on all kinds of jobs before being spotted by a scout（星探）for a modeling agency. Cheng said his key to life is “keeping a positive outlook and making the most out of life.”

Cheng admitted that he got bad grades when he was in high school. But he was still very popular at school. “Being very active in the students union, I was elected president. I liked to organize parties and field trips, so many teachers and students knew me,” he said.

Cheng once dreamed of becoming a cartoonist, and he regrets that he never did it. Now he hopes his teenage fans can learn from his life. “When you are in school, just focus on studies,” Cheng said. “Every young heart is eager to explore the world outside. But take your time. Finish your studies first.”

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔) each day.

Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work

The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.

Low-fat Diets Do Not Work

Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low-fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.

Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.

25. What is the main reason why people are overweight?

A. They burn many calories every day.

B. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.  

C. They eat food with lots of calories.

D. They don’t take weight loss pills.          

26. The article is written in order to________.

   A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food.

   B.tell readers about an important scientific discovery.

   C .tell readers how to lose weight.

   D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy.

27. To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should_________.

a. do exercise every day           b. eat meals at the right time

c. eat fruits and vegetables         d. eat low-fat or sweet food

e. eat the proper foods at each meal

A. a, b, c, e        B. a, b, d, e       C. a, c, d, e       D.a, b, c, d

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?

That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.

To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- slips all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather-- is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

4. What’s the main topic of this passage?

A. What is time?                                           B. Time among Americans.

C. Make good use of time.                          D. How to control time?

5. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?

A. protect                 B. develop                    C. produce                   D. assist

6. The sentence " Americans seem tied to the clock" in paragraph 5 probably means________.

A. Americans often carry a clock with them.     B. Americans can take control over time.

C. Americans often make full use of time.       D. Americans can not predict the time.

7. We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.

A. Americans have more time than others.

B. by using pocket planners, people can have more time.

C. for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier.

D. Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better

 David was seen __________ home with his family early this morning.

A. to be leaving        B. leave           C. to leave             D. left

 Once there lived a rich man   61   wanted to do something for the people of his town.   62   first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

    In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed   63   very large stone. Then he  64  (hide ) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

    “Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way.   65   man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove  66  . Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone,   67  (say) to himself: “The night   68  (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”                

Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his   69   (strong) to move it. How great was his surprise at last!   70   the stone, he found a bag of money.

Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends? You’ll eat more. Is your waitress overweight? You’ll eat more. Wide variety of food? You’ll eat more.

Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, they’d say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”

Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandma’s cookies always taste better than other cookies. “Good food” even has a “health halo (光环) effect”. If we are eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories than the cheese cake alone. That’s perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.

Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.

32. What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?

A. Suffering from great loneliness.       B. Being served by a helpful waitress.

C. Being treated to high quality food.     D. Eating with many friends.

A. finds an excuse for eating more        B. is crazy about the quality of plates

C. competes with others in making cookies D. teaches people to stick to morality

34. According to the passage, people are more likely to make a bad judgment when ______.

A. they don’t feel hungry               B. they aren’t overweight

C. they have low blood sugar            D. they know little about food

35. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. When Can’t We Go on a Diet?         B. What Affects Eating?

C. How to Make Good Food             D. Where to Find Safe Food
