Glynis Davis：
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I c ouldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. M y target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Chri stmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habit s. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the n ew year...but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn't make any difference—
but the scales don't lie.
Roz Juma：
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry ab out every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea i
s simple. You shouldn't be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I'm meant to b e and, most of all, I'm happy with it.
Lesley Codwin：
I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d lo ok in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem—
perhaps from then on I didn't pay any attention to myself. Win ning a national competition makes everything worse，though. Because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I've put on weight agai n.
Ros Langfod：
Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I'd always been ab out 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet...I'm really good in a few days，
then end up having the children's leftovers or eating happily c hocolate—
my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.
5．What do you think the four women were talking about? A．Their own slimming matter.
B．Their life after marriage.
C．Text books for students.
D．Different diets they prefer.
6．Where are these short passages most likely to be taken fr om?
A．Talks on the air.
B．Advertisements on the wall.
C．Books in a library.
D．Magazines for children.
7．Which of the following best describes each of the four wo men's attitudes towards slimming?
①Glynis Davis
a．I put on weight soon after I got married.
②Roz Juma
b．Frame doesn't necessarily mean success.
③Lesley Codwin

The ocean can be divided into three zones based on the amo unt of light each receives.
The Sunlit Zone
This is the top layer，
nearest the surface. It is also called the euphotic zone. Here t here is enough light coming into the water to support photosy nthesis(光合作用)．
The sunlit zone goes down about 600 feet. Because photosyn thesis occurs here，
more than 90 percent of all marine life lives in it，
including most fish.
The Twilight Zone
Only a small amount of light gets through the water to reach t his zone. As the water becomes deeper，
the pressure increases. Plants do not grow here；
only animals that have adapted to having little light can surviv e.
The twilight zone is also known as the disphotic zone.
This part of the ocean begins at about 600 feet under the wat er and reaches the darkest part，
which begins about 3,000 feet down. Some squid and fish can use their bodies to make light.
The Midnight Zone
Ninety percent of the ocean is in the midnight zone. It is entire ly dark—
there is no light. The water pressure is extreme. The temperat ure is near freezing.
The midnight zone is also called the aphotic zone.
What can live in the midnight zone？
The living things found here live close to cracks in the earth's crust(地
壳)．These cracks give off mineralrich materials from the cent er of the earth itself. Special kinds of bacteria live here，
and all other things living in the midnight zone feed on these b acteria.
8．Why does most marine life live in the sunlit zone? A．Because this zone is under extreme water pressure. B．Because many special kinds of fish live in this zone. C．Because photosynthesis takes place in this zone. D．Because this zone contains varieties of minerals.
9．The twilight zone covers a depth of about ________ feet. A．600 B．2,400 C．3,000 D．3,600
10．Most creatures in the midnight zone live on________. A．water B．bacteria C．minerals D．fish
11．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．Light zones in the ocean
B．Living things in the ocean
C．The depth of the ocean
D．The secret of the ocean

Grown-
ups are often surprised by how well they remember somethin g they learned as children but have never practiced ever sinc e. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be state d as follows: Once we have learned something, additional lear
ning trials(尝
试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swi mming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood ta les such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but o verlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀
表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather q uickly the things that we learn in school, because they are an other of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学
习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade , is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramm ing, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on t he examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everythi ng he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is reall y necessary for one's future development.
12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
13. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
14. According to the author, being able to use multiplication ta bles is_______.
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
15. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It's helpful only in a limited way.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory.
D. It increases students' learning interest.

Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you c an’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell yo u in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you w ill find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
Life can be cruel
16 They’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’r
e different.
There’re not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who mak e you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this , treasure them, spend time with them and love them.
Be open to life anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through lif e, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. 17 .
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, i n school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. 18 . Lear n to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of
constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
19
If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should b e this: love. It might sound corny, I know… but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.
Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors… your co-workers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of al l love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.
20 You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always reme mber I will be there for you when I can.
Love,
Your Dad
Life is full of love
It’s a journey.
Love should be your rule
Last, think that you are a wonderful human being.
Finally, remember that I love you and always will.
Be open to new things, new experiences, new people
There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice.
