Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was too old to learn something new. I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer. Now, she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community (社区), using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.When she was in her sixties, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn. You can imagine my surprise and delight.To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright (版权), and learn about marketing. It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn. And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings.Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated. They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life. The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old.

But the biggest thing is that parents are serving their kids too much pizza," said Dr. William Dietz, one of the study's authors and the director of the Sumner M. Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Wellness at the Milken Institute of Public Health at the George Washington University.The researchers used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which tracked the diets of more than 11,000 children and teenagers. Researchers figured how many children eat pizza in the United States, how often they eat it, and how much they eat when they do.Pizza, pretty alarmingly, is the second leading source ofcalories in the diets of America's children, next only to grain desserts, such as cookies and other sweets. On any given day, roughly 20 percent of all children aged 2 to 11 and adolescents aged 12 to 19 eat pizza. And when they do, they eat a lot of it. When children eat pizza, they eat roughly 400 calories, according to the study. For teenagers, it's upwards of 600 calories.All that is pretty problematic, according to Dietz largely because kids don't tend to balance the pizza slices with salads, vegetables and other more nutritional (有营养的) foodstuffs. Days on which children and teenagers eat pizza are not only associated with considerably higher intakes of fat, but also, quite simply, with more food: on average, children consume 84 extra calories on the days they eat pizza, while adolescents consume an extra 230 calories."When you eat extra calories and don't compensate (抵偿) for them at another point of the day or week, it can lead to weight gain and even obesity." Dietz said.There is a silver lining. Pizza consumption is still too high by nutrition standards, but it's lower than it used to be. Consumption (消费) fell by roughly 25 percent between 2007 and 2016, according to the study. Much of that has come at dinner where it's fallen by 40 percent for children and about 33 percent for teenagers. It's unclear whether the decline has been in connection with a growing concern over obesity, especially among the country's youth.But the drop in pizza consumption, while significant hasn't been big enough "It's a positive trend," Dietz said. "But we're not quite them yet."It's easy to see the appeal of pizza. It's cheap. Parents can buy a lot of pizza for not a lot of money. Besides, they can buy pizza from a chain shop, a mom-and-pop store or a grocery freezer. And it's universally loved. The estimated 3 billion pizza eaten each year in the United States is a proof of the food's unmatched popularity. Given how much the country loves pizza, what's to be done? Dietz suggests pizza with smaller serving sizes and healthier toppings (配料). "We're not suggesting that kids avoid pizza altogether." said Dietz. "But when parents serve it, it's important that they understand it's extremely caloric. They should serve smaller pizza, or at least smaller slices."(1)According to the study, the problem with kids is that ____.A.they are overweightB.they have too many takeawaysC.they are fed too much pizzaD.they have very bad health(2)How did the researchers get the result?A.Through interviewing.B.By analyzing data.C.By tracking kids' diets.D.Through experimenting.(3)We know from the passage that when kids eat pizza, ____.A.they usually don't eat other foodB.they eat less of other foodC.they are not likely to balance their dietD.they usually eat with vegetables(4)What does the underlined part "a silver lining" in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A.Something hopeful.B.Something valuable.C.Something miserable.D.Something successful.(5)What's the key message of the last paragraph?A.Pizza consumption fell significantly in America.B.Pizza has many advantages over other food.C.Eating too much pizza can lead to failing health and obesity.D.The pizza problem may be improved through its size and topping.3．(8分) Retired judge Davison hated all the quiet. Evy, his wife of 66 years, had passed away, and he was lonely and sad in the months after her death. But he knew how to beat those feelings; he decided to build a pool.Davison contacted a family-run company in Hopkins, Minnesota, that had built a pool for his previous house 40 years ago. "They did such a great job before and were still in business, so they came out and planned it," Davison said.Kevin, who works on new pools for the company, helped Davison with everything, from initial planning and completing contracts back in March to teaching him how to filter the water once the pool was finish in July."If you build it, they will come," he thought. He invited all the neighborhood kids over to swim. Now it's not so quiet anymore.He hears the sounds of laughter and splashing as he sits on a chair in the shade, watching happy children play in his backyard."I knew they'd come." 94-year-old Davison told KARE-TV.Neighbor Jessica thought the judge was joking when he talked about putting in a pool until she saw the work starting. Now she and her four kids have been regulars since the pool was finished in July."It's him spreading joy throughout our neighborhood for these kids." Jessica said.Davison's pool includes a diving board and reaches nine feet in the deep end under the board. It's especially welcome in a town that doesn't have a public outdoor pool.Although Davison has three adult children, he doesn't have any grandchildren.Jessica says she's told him, "You kind of adopted our whole neighborhood of kids. These are your grandkids."The judge's rules require that a parent or grandparent stay while the children are swimming. Once the kids leave, he likes to swim, too.Davison tells KARE-TV that he realizes that putting in the pool didn't make a lot of financial (经济的) sense for an old man. But thatdidn't matter to him."I'm not sitting by myself looking at the walls." he says. "What else would you think of doing where you could have a whole bunch of kids over every afternoon?" The 94-year-old judge now hears laughter all day as he watches children splash in his backyard pool.(1)Why did Davison build a swimming pool?A.To remember his dead wife.B.To earn some money for a living.C.To fight against his loneliness.D.To please the kids in the neighborhood.(2)What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.The neighborhood children.B.His three adult children.C.Reporters from KARE-TV.D.The workers who built the pool.(3)What rules do children have to follow while swimming in the judge's pool?A.They shall wear life jackets.B.They shall be in company with the adults.C.They shall receive some training.D.They shall get their parents' permission.(4)What can we learn from the story?A.Action speaks louder than words.B.True success comes from spiritual riches.C.The value of life lies in respect and love.D.One's search for happiness brings others great joy.4．(8分) You know eating fruit and vegetables is helpful. But did you know it can also make you look good?People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them subtly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin.They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks.Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look healthier and an extra 3.3 portion could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer.But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange, it was not known a small increase was perceptible to others and was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident at three weeks.Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues (色调，色相) were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin.There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene (番茄红素) which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red color—and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach.Skin color is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols (多酚), found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rushto the skin surface.(1)From Paragraph 4, we learn that pictures were taken ____.A.three times using a special camera every three weeksB.twice using a sensitive camera every six weeksC.by 35 people when they ate fruit and vegetablesD.by 35 people while being monitored to compare the changes(2)The word "appealing" (Paragraph 7) can best be replaced by ____.A.frighteningB.harmfulC.dangerousD.attractive(3)The red and yellow colors were related to ____ in their skin.A.the contents of intakeB.the levels of carrotsC.the time of eating fruit and vegetablesD.the amount of carotenoids(4)Among hundreds of carotenoids, which are most effective?A.Tomatoes and red peppers.B.Squash, and spinach.C.Lycopene and beta-carotene.D.Heir red colour and beta-carotene.(5)The purpose of the article is to ____.A.tell people a new discoveryB.advise people to eat more fruit and vegetablesC.introduce a way to protect skinD.list the functions of carotenoids to skin二、七选五(10分)5．(10分)How to Handle Being the New Kid at SchoolBeing the new kid at school can be a terrible experience!
