My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She does not like newspapers very muchOf course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute.

About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them.

If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably besurprised just how different they can be from your own.

Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting.

They know all the streets and roads well.Some police stand at crossings. They tell the cars when to go and when to stop. They make sure that the cars do not go too fast. They help children cross the street. They also help people who can't walk too well.Without the police ,our streets would not be safe. Cars might go too fast and hurt people.

Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly shown on computers.Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the United States andGermany. Among other uses, village doctors hold "consultations ( 会诊)" with far-away experts (专家) . The experts can also help them during operations.Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs, besides other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese University of Hong Kong's medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice. The help is quite important if the disease is an unusual one. It also helps spread medical knowledge among experts.As tele-medicine develops well, its costs will be lower and it will become very popular in the medical field.76题为判断正误(“T”表示正确,“F”表示错误);77完成句子;78—79 题简略回答问题;80 题将稳中划线句子译为汉语。

It's a state of well-being, a pleasant or satisfying experience. Happiness is important to everyone. Happiness is important to everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here are some tips about the discovering happiness in your life.Allow yourself to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or nervousness — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Refusing our emotions, whether positive or negative, leads to sadness and unhappiness.Happiness mostly depends on our understanding towards the outside world, not on how much money we have. Mostly, our level of well-being is decided by what we choose to focus on and by our understanding of the things that happened. For example, do we see failure as the mother of success, or do we see it as a chance of learning?Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to do more and more activities in less and less time. Yet sometimes the more we expect, the more we will lose. Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.Remember the mind-body connection. What we do — or don't do — with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, enough sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.1.Do most people know how to find happiness?2.How many tips for happiness are talked about in this passage?3.What does happiness mostly depend on?4.How do we sometimes lose our happiness?5.What is the passage mainly about?答案:1.No./ No, they don't.2.4 / Four.3.Our understanding towards the outside world.4.Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.5.What happiness is and some tips about the discovering happiness in our life.(十五)What makes people happier: money, having happy friends or having happy neighbors? Scientists have found an answer as a part of a study.The new study found that friends of the happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves. And the smaller the distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness.For example, a person was 20% more likely to feel happy if a friend who lived within one and a half kilometers. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased the chance of being happy by 34%. The effects of friends' happiness lasted for up to a year.The scientists found that sadness also spread among friends, but not as much as happiness.People who took three degrees out of separation still had an effect on a person's happiness. Three degrees of distance meant the friend of a friend of a friend.The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased the person's chance of becoming happier by about 2%. But the scientists found that the influenceof a friend of a friend of a friend could be greater than that. Another finding was that people who were married or worked together didn't have as much of an effect on happiness as friends did.1.Having a happy friend who lives within one and a half kilometers increases the chance of being happy by _____.A.45%B.50%C.34%D.20%2.The effects of happiness from friends _____.A.have a chance of 20% to make you happyB.are usually within 1.5 kmC.have a chance of 34% to make you happyD.can last for about a year3.What does the underlined word "separation" mean in the passage?A.间隔B.方向C.位置D.关系4.Which of the following has the greatest effect on happiness according to the passage?A.Money.B.The friend of a friend.C.Happy friends who live in another city.D.Happy neighbors.5.What's the text mainly about?A.Who's the happier?B.What's happiness?C.What makes people happier?D.How to make people happy?答案:DDADC(十六)On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood.

I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining (抱怨) about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and her two children, a son and a daughter."Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right."Yes," the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. The daughter had a fever, but her temperature was OK. The son had an earache, but he couldn't tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending (假装) to cough.Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please," said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. All of a sudden I knew they were homeless while the hospital was warm.The family huddled (蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on this Christmas night. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency (急诊)".。

What is the secret to a healthy diet? Whether you’re already slim or trying to lose weight, one of the best things you can do is reduce the size of your bowls and plates. A study has found that changing from a twelve-inch to a ten-inch plate leads people to eat 22 percent fewer calories. In this way, you’d be reducing more than 5,000 calories a month from your diet. 1By devoting a few minutes to planning for healthy meals, you can improve your own health and that of your family. Studies from UCLA suggest that a home-cooked dinner takes only about ten minutes longer to prepare, on average, than serving processed or ready-made food. 2 And don’t forget: Obesity, diabetes (糖尿病), and heart disease all lead to doctor and hospital visits, which take a lot of time.Slow the pace of your meals. Pay attention to what you’re eating. 3 After a pause (中止), you’ll likely find that “almost full” is full enough. Studies show that simply by eating at a leisurely pace, you could drop up to 20 pounds a year.4 All your family members should treat the dinner hour as special. Kids who eat with their parents are less likely to eat junk food, less likely to overeat, and less likely to be overweight.5 And families who eat together are far less likely to be troubled by eating disorders, and smoking, according to several studies.A.Don’t eat on the run.B.It really is that simple.C.Sit down to dinner with the entire family.D.Stop eating when you’re about 80 percent full.E.Parents who eat with their children report greater satisfaction with family life.F.However, if you keep preparing meals at home. You’ll save time in the long run.【答案】1.B 2.F 3.D 4.C 5.E【导语】本文主要介绍了健康饮食的秘诀:计划健康饮食、放慢吃饭的节奏、和全家一起坐下来吃饭。

But men don't walk without shoes in the snow!In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very quickly.Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the "something".

It's a state of well-being, a pleasant or satisfying experience. Happiness is important to everyone. Happiness is important to everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here are some tips about the discovering happiness in your life.Allow yourself to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or nervousness — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Refusing our emotions, whether positive or negative, leads to sadness and unhappiness.Happiness mostly depends on our understanding towards the outside world, not on how much money we have. Mostly, our level of well-being is decided by what we choose to focus on and by our understanding of the things that happened. For example, do we see failure as the mother of success, or do we see it as a chance of learning?Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to do more and more activities in less and less time. Yet sometimes the more we expect, the more we will lose. Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.Remember the mind-body connection. What we do — or don't do — with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, enough sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.1.Do most people know how to find happiness?2.How many tips for happiness are talked about in this passage?3.What does happiness mostly depend on?4.How do we sometimes lose our happiness?5.What is the passage mainly about?答案:1.No./ No, they don't.2.4 / Four.3.Our understanding towards the outside world.4.Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.5.What happiness is and some tips about the discovering happiness in our life.(十五)What makes people happier: money, having happy friends or having happy neighbors? Scientists have found an answer as a part of a study.The new study found that friends of the happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves. And the smaller the distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness.For example, a person was 20% more likely to feel happy if a friend who lived within one and a half kilometers. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased the chance of being happy by 34%. The effects of friends' happiness lasted for up to a year.The scientists found that sadness also spread among friends, but not as much as happiness.People who took three degrees out of separation still had an effect on a person's happiness. Three degrees of distance meant the friend of a friend of a friend.The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased the person's chance of becoming happier by about 2%. But the scientists found that the influenceof a friend of a friend of a friend could be greater than that. Another finding was that people who were married or worked together didn't have as much of an effect on happiness as friends did.1.Having a happy friend who lives within one and a half kilometers increases the chance of being happy by _____.A.45%B.50%C.34%D.20%2.The effects of happiness from friends _____.A.have a chance of 20% to make you happyB.are usually within 1.5 kmC.have a chance of 34% to make you happyD.can last for about a year3.What does the underlined word "separation" mean in the passage?A.间隔B.方向C.位置D.关系4.Which of the following has the greatest effect on happiness according to the passage?A.Money.B.The friend of a friend.C.Happy friends who live in another city.D.Happy neighbors.5.What's the text mainly about?A.Who's the happier?B.What's happiness?C.What makes people happier?D.How to make people happy?答案:DDADC(十六)On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood.

As I looked down I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured thus far.The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever.

I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining (抱怨) about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and her two children, a son and a daughter."Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right."Yes," the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. The daughter had a fever, but her temperature was OK. The son had an earache, but he couldn't tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending (假装) to cough.Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please," said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. All of a sudden I knew they were homeless while the hospital was warm.The family huddled (蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on this Christmas night. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency (急诊)".。

It is a food pyramid with horizontal stripes (水平线).Carbohydrates(碳水化合物),such as bread ,rice and potatoes ,are on the base of thepyramid .They are most of our everyday food .The fats and oils(脂油)are at the top of the pyramid. We should eat the least of them.Well, the food pyramid with vertical stripes(垂直线).

Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours.The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red example is exciting sociable (善交际的) people, those who like to be with others like red. The cool colours are green, blue and purple. These colours unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slow in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours. He suggested that a warm colour such as red or orange, is a good colour for a living room or a restaurant.People who are relaxing or eating don’t want time to pass quickly. Cool co lours are better for offices of factories as the people who work there want time to pass quickly. Scientist don’t know why people think some colours are warm and other colours are cool.However, almost everyone agree that warm colours remind (使想起) people of warm days and cool colours remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because the sun higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.1.
