Researchers discovered that people who exercise live longer than those who do not_, even if they are overweight and smoke.The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whrther or not. the men had heart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken cooper, a fitness expert, said, " You are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and exercising regularly than being a non -smoker and sedentary." Although he adds, "But don't misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking , I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary."

"4、 There are advantages and disadvantages to Both Asian and Western educational methods. For example, one advantage to the education in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students. They also study more hours each day than Americans do. The study is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage to the education in North America, on the other hand,is that students learn to think by themselves. The system prepares themfor a society that values new ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage.When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have5、 More and more people have to install burglar alarms in their houses if they want to get insurance.

About 700,000 new carshave been sold in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many used cars have been traded.The country's 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the world's largest two-wheel market. But because there are still big differences had been sold people's incomes, the roads are full of a whole variety of over, lots of them not motorised.A ride bikes a taxi driver in New Delhi gives a flavour of a typical Indian-style traffic with all kinds of vehicle held up in city streets or in long lines after narrow country lanes. Cars, lorries and buses back up behind a cart in by one animal or another. "India has everything on the roads," the taxi driver says. "You have to to pull for pedestrians, bicycles, carts, cows, donkeys and even elephants. Three things watch out to drive here, a horn, brakes and good luck."

Workaholics are often under stress. They can’t relax and feel tense. As a result they may easily lose temper. Their work therefore has serious impact on their relationships and family life. Typical workaholics pay little attention to families. They spend little time with their children and their marriages may end in divorce. Their inability to relax may cause health problems, such as high blood pressure.9、 There are advantages and disadvantages to Both Asian and Western educational methods.

(A “league” is an old word meaning about three miles.) In those days submarines (潜水艇) had not been invented but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of thesubmarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find many strange things . at the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good . story-teller . His characters often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed to be real people.In another book, “Around the World in Eighty Days”, Jules Verne creates Mr. Fogg, the hero, who made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days. Nowadays this may seem easy to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars. Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different ways , even on an elephant at one time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book.In all his books Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge as well as his imagination in describing future inventions. Sometimes he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is very clever.11、 Peter Blake is a successful businessman, but he _ used to be very poor.

The doctor came, examined him and said, “You will be well again in a few days if you take bull’s milk.” The king was very surprised, for he had never heard of a bul l that gave milk. “How is it possible?” he asked.“Order Gulbo, the scholar, to get it for you. He can do anything.” The doctor was an enemy to Gulbo, and thought this would be a way of making him suffer. When the king told Gulbo what the doctor had said a nd ordered him to get bull’s milk, Gulbo immediately understood what the doctor was trying to do.When he got home he sat thinking how to get out of the difficulties. His daughter, seeing him worried, asked what was the matter. On hearing what the king had asked for, she said, “Don’t worry, father, I’ll help you.”The next day she took some old clothes, went to the bank of the river near the palace, and chose a place below the king’s bedroom window. In the middle of the night, when everyone was in bed, she started to do her washing. She made so much noise that the king could not sleep. The king got very angry and set a guard to find out what was the matter. The soldier found the girl, and led her to the king. “Why do you wash your clothes here at night?” ask ed the king.The girl pretended to be afraid and said, “I had to wash clothes at night. This afternoon my father had a baby. I was busy all day because of that. Then I found there were no clean clothes for the baby, so I had to come and wash them now.”“What!” cried the king, “Are you trying to make a fool of me? Who ever heard of a man having a baby?”“Well, if the king himself orders someone to get bull’s milk for him, why can’t a man have a baby?”The king smiled and said, “You must be Gulbo’s daughter. Go and tell your father that he may keep the bull’s milk for his baby.”1. According to the doctor in the story, the king’s illness can be cured by drinking bull’s milk2. The doctor told the king to ask Gulbo to find bull’s milk because he hated Gulbo very much3. How did Gulbo feel after getting the king’s order? He was upset4. Why did Gulbo’s daughter wash clothes below the king’s bedroom window at night? Because she wanted the king to notice her.5. From the dialogue between the king and the girl, we know that after hearing the girl’s story, the king understood the girl’s meaning 理解2、People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of complet ely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can’t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.1. The main cause of pollution is _ the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only all sides concerned would make more efforts3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause both a litter problem and a waster of resources4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? Eating.5. What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2? bits of waste things理解3、Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its we b to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.1. The passage centers on _ how life began on a volcano-produced island.2.According to the passage, the island got its first soil from its own rock.3.The word “naked” (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following? bare4.The order of coming into being on the island is soil, plants and animals.5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ? Insects could not live on the island without plants.理解4、In the last 500 years, nothing about people – not their clothes, ideas, or languages –has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland。
