A. to get some financial support B. to properly protect themselvesC. to learn some new living skillsD. to realize their own importanceBGreen is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play ―Othello‖. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.24. A greenhorn now refers to ____.A. a person who is new in a jobB. a new soliderC. a young horseD. a cow without horns25. A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.A. whose thumbs are of green colorB. who is good at growing plantsC. whose garden is greener than others’D. who is younger than his neighbors26.

The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.C. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.D. The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.CI am often laughed at for my habit of traveling by foot. I often walk about 3 miles from home to work rather than take the subway. Sometimes, kind-hearted drivers will offer me a ride, thinking that my car has broken down.But for me, walking is a good opportunity to relax myself. Besides, it helps my back recover from a day spent bent in front of a computer screen. In terms of health, I have always thought I'd have the last laugh, and now there's even more evidence on my side.Nine years later, brain scans showed that those who had walked more had greater brain volume(容量) than those who walked less. Four years after that, the volunteers were tested again—this time for dementia(痴呆). Among the group, 116 people showed signs of memory loss or dementia. Those who had walked the most—at least 7 miles each week—were half as likely to have cognitive(认知) problems as those who walked the least.A study has found that the simple act of walking may improve memory in old age. As we age, our brains shrink, which can lead to the loss of memory. However, experts say there's still not enough data to prove that exercise can prevent memory loss. It's also too soon to say whether exercise may prevent dementia or simply delay it in people who would eventually develop it anyway. But for those who suffer from dementia(痴呆), even a short delay could mean great losses in quality of life.28. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Walking May Contribute to the Brain ActivityB. Good Ways to Prevent Loss of MemoryC. Walking Is More Convenient Than DrivingD. The Relationship Between Walking and Memory29. The underlined word "shrink" in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. become softerB. become smallerC. become less clearD. become tired30. According to the passage, we can infer that .A. walking is one of the best ways to increase our memoryB. people's memory won't change much with proper exerciseC. whether exercise can prevent dementia remains to be tested furtherD. those who exercise regularly are much easier to be successful31. The passage is probably taken from a .A. news reportB. fashion magazineC. science fictionD. health magazineDCountry music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complex, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps （军营）in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.32.
