I often wanted to look like as the slim girls on TV even though I knew it was impossible. To lose weight, I tried no-fat, low-fat, only bananas — I
almost went madly.
Then I read an article what said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I didn’t know a letter could make such difference!
Once I started thinking about fit rather than weight, things began to change. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I adds healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.
Finally, I stopped compare myself with actresses and models. Instead, I made a list of the thing I liked about myself. By being positive about me and my body, I became both happier or healthier.

文章讲述了喜剧的背后是悲伤的升华，Richard Pryor 和George Simmons 的表述更加证实了这点。

13. I always figured that comedians were the best kind of people to hang around with as a kid. They tell funny stories, make joke after joke, and happiness seems never to leave them. But time goes on, and we come to see these same people as clowns on the outside, but crying a river in the inside. Comedy from these people comes from a deep pain and sadness in their lives, or out of a deep-seated anger they have at the world around them.
Look at Richard Pryor, need I say more? Richard seemed to have everything. For Superman m , he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did. Y et he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10. This guy set himself on fire, and he played that for laugh while performing live at the Sunset Strip ! Comedy was his constant weapon against pain, and he never held anything back.
The movie Funny People understand very well this gloomy field many comedians have to survive in. It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a famous comedian in the movie. Simmons has it all: a beautiful mansion overlooking the sea, a swimming pool,great cars, and so on. But in his eyes, we see that he is a sad man who has come to truly look down upon himself for what he has become. All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person. But now, he hears from his doctor that he has a terminal disease and has only months left to live. Simmons reacts to this news as if someone took away his blood in the heart, and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life. So now he has to make every minute count.Then come a series of funny stories.
Comedy is just life as it is, isn’t it?
1. What can we infer about “comedians” according to the text?
A．Comedians like to get along with kids.
B．Comedians’ life is full of jokes.
C．Comedians often use their sad experience.
D．Comedians often cry in their daily life.
2. When was the happiest moment for Richard Pryor?
A．When he played the part of SupermanⅢ．
B．When he got more money than Christopher Reeve.
C．When he pretended to be a cowboy in the childhood.
D．When he performed live at the Sunset Strip.
3. Why was George Simmons unhappy?
A．He had no friends at all.
B．He spent too much on his house.
C．He wasn’t accepted by the outside world.
D．He was hated by all the strangers around.
4. By saying “Comedy is just life as it is, isn’t it?”, the author means____
A．life like comedy will make you happy
B．comedy comes from the sadness in real life
C．there is no happiness at all in real life
D．life is full of comedy in reality

主要介绍的是防蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出一些具体的措施。

14. The sales temptation: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain (疲劳) is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost 15 dollars all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work?
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It controls the release of melatonin (褪黑素). “Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz. So in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a table t at night to avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
1. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs?
A．It may facilitate sleep.B．It actually causes severe health issues.
C．It can be of benefit in some aspects.D．It merely comes from digital devices.
2. Who will benefit from the glasses according to the studies?
A．People under great pressure B．People experiencing eye strain
C．People with eye diseases D．People suffering from sleep disorders
3. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses .
A．doesn’t contribute to less eye strain B．benefits those affected by shift work
C．is not harmful to eyesight D．helps prevent eye disease
4. What might be the best title of this passage?
A．Blue-light-blocking glasses: Your Best Choice
B．Blue-light-blocking glasses: Good or Bad
C．Blue-light-blocking glasses: A Good Business
D．Blue-light-blocking glasses: Smart and Cool
15. Doha, the capital of Qatar，is a city of contrasts(对照). In a few decades it has beentransformed from a small port to an international city. Today, its skyline is shaped by rising skyscrapers, but Old Doha---though fast disappearing---can still be found.
Time seems to stand still in the old quarter of the city. On the dusty streets, Indian and Pakistani men sit cross-legged outside tea shops and restaurants. At one end of the road, men queue by the doorways of crowded supermarkets to buy necessities: boxes of teabags, milk, sugar, bread and soap. The shops are dark and poorly stocked. However, only five miles away, on the other side of the city, Doha shows a completely different image. It shines brilliantly with skyscrapers, five-star hotels and noble apartment buildings. The area looks like any other modem district in the world. Qatar, a tiny gulf(海湾)nation, is a country of vast local and international ambitions. At home, it has owned several international universities. Abroad, it tries to speak louder on gulf affairs. These ambitions are urged by the country’s unbelievably rich reserves of fossil fuels．In December 2012, Daba was the site of Copl8 UN Climate Change Conference and in 2022，Qatar will host the World Cup.
Mohammed Salim, 55, runs a hair salon in the old part of the city where he works as a hair
dresser．When he came to Doha 22 years ago from Pakistan，he recalls，Doha was a quiet town with few modern buildings．“At that time，Doha seemed rather small．There were no big roads or malls at all.” He has noticed a drop in customers to his salon in recent years．“People now tend to go to more fashionable hair salons in shopping malls．Some day this old area will be gone, and my business will probably be gone, too．I'll be sad. I love here, but things are changing．We can’t ignore it.”
1. What makes Doha become a city of contrasts according to the passage?
A．The city’s old and modern districts．
B．The modern city and the tiny country．
C．The city’s past and present conditions．
D．The fashionable city and its poor citizens．
2. What do we know about the shops in the old quarter of Doha?
A．They don't have many goods or customers．
B．They provide a great variety of luxury goods．
C．They are bright big shops crowded with people．
D．They look poor and offer fewer choices of goods．
3. Qatar tries to speak louder on gulf affairs because______________.
A it has international cities such as Doha
A．it is going to host the World Cup in 2022
B．it has made progress in building universities
C．it is known for its large reserves of natural gas
4. The author takes the hair salon as an example to show that___________.
A．people in Doha are fashionable
B．the economy in Doha becomes bad
C．changes are happening to Old Doha
D．Doha used to be an undeveloped town
5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Old Doha is characterized by rising skyscrapers．
B．Doha seemed small in the past as is recalled by Salim．
C．Doha will host Copl8 UN Climate Change Conference in 2022．
D．The western side of Doha looks more modern than the eastern side.
