2019-2020 学年九年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练（9）外研版It’s not easy to find a person with the q ualities it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word“hero ” until my third year in the college.
If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks t he part, but she is stronger th an Superman could ever be.Her name is Sandra Keierleber.I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛 ), but didn ’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed
she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.
Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest--- in fact, this was her first time playing
volleyball and it showed---but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and
the last to leave. By th e end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood
at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.
After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked fo r help,we gladly taught her. She also became our fan,attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the
easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero---
and my hero, too.

Sometimes people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food
may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which
kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and chee se), grains(like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDAalso suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful
for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables.
Because of the way they eat,they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease.In Japan,people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease.The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world.However,when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers,ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan,the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries,in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less me at and dairy food.
Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents.When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat in the same way as their parents.Whenparents eat healthy food,the children will learn to enjoy it,too.Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such
as fruit, vegetables and juice.
Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in
different ways. For example,doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can reall y protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change
our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.

Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table?
Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week,
Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody
saw her at all!
What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like
talking with strangers (陌生人). So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who
you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye
contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show
your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.
When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really
worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.
In fact, saying“hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings
you is really great. So try to open your heart to strang ers!
