Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight.Because you tend to feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course.The soup regime was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr Barbara Rolls.They found that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 per cent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.But those who favour creamy soups should be careful．Researchers stressed the soup must be low-calorie and based on stock（菜汤）, not cream.All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients - chicken stock , broccoli（硬花甘蓝）, potato, cauliflower（菜花）and carrots.They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and vegetables through to pureed soup.Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.31．What’s the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help tolose weight?A．you can take in large quantities of vegetables.B．you can absorb high calories from the soup.C．you can take in low calories from the soup.D．you can feel full soon after having the soup.32．Which of the following can not be in the low-calorie soup?A．chicken stock．B．cauliflower．C．cream．D．carrots. 33．What’s the general idea of the seventh paragraph?A．What is contained in the soup．B．How the soup is made．C．Whom the soup is suitable to．D．where the soup is stored.34．What is the best title of this passage?A．Vegetable Soup Helps to Lose Weight．B．A Scientific Research is Carrying out.C．A Research did at Pennsylvania State UniversityD．Findings were carried out to the Experimental Biology.35．The underlined word “favour” is the same in meaning with ______.A．hate．B．enjoy．C．prefer．D．drink.People are more likely to wash their hands properly after using the toilet if they are shamed into it or think they are being watched, scientists said on Thursday.Hand-washing is the cheapest way of controlling disease but less than one third of men and two thirds of women wash their hands with soap after going to the toilet, a British study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed.But when prompted by an electronic message flashing up on a board asking: "Is the person next to you washing with soap?," around 12 percent more men and 11 percent more women used soap.Health authorities around the world are stepping up efforts to persuade people to be more hygienic and wash their hands properly to help slow the spread of H1N1 swine flu, which was declared a pandemic（大流行病）by the World Health Organization in June."Hand-washing with soap has been ranked the most effective way for the worldwide control of disease," the study's authors wrote."It could save more than a million lives a year from diarrhoeal diseases, and prevent respiratory（呼吸）infections -- the biggest causes of child mortality（死亡）in developing countries."In developed nations, hand-washing can help prevent the spread of viral infections like flu and sickness and diarrhea bugs like norovirus and rotavirus, as well as hospital-acquired infections like MRSA and C-difficile, the authors said.The researchers studied the behavior of a quarter of a million people using toilets at motorway service stations in Britain over 32 days．Use of soap was monitored by sensors.The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health to mark Global Hand-washing Day, showed that with no reminders, 32 percent of men and 64 percent of women used soap. 36．In which of the following situation can people wash their hands properly?A．After they going to toilet．B．when they think they are being watched.C．When they think their hands are dirty. D．When they find soap nearby. 37．Which of the following is the main advantage of hand-washing?A．people can always get their hands clean．B．People can save a lot of time and water．C．It is the cheapest way of controlling disease.D．It wastes no any time and energy.38．What is the biggest cause of child death in developing countries?A．respiratory infections．B．diarrhoeal diseases．C．H1N1 swine flu．D．hospital-acquired infections.39．Which of the following is true according to the seventh paragraph?A．Hand-washing is popular in the developed countries.B．They authorities persuaded the people to wash their hands daily.C．More and more people know to wash their hands properly.D．The spread of viral infections is a serious problem.40．We can conclude from the passage that _______.A．Most people wash their hands after going to toilet.B．Many people can not wash their hands properly.C．Few people know Global Hand-washing Day.D．H1N1 swine flu was declared a pandemic.CFor a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts”Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week ata fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is go od. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.41. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together42. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.A. heart attacksB. Back problemsC. famous joggersD. physical weaknesses43. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C.

He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.45. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.第二节：(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)Molly信箱是一个报刊栏目，主持人Molly回答读者提出的各种问题。
