6.Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself?Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?
  A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
  Just over 2,000people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain's largest health center.The results were very surprising.
  About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of 654respondents (离婚被告) with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
  We know that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.
  Dr Sarah,Dauncey,medical director of the center,said,"People need to get fitter,not just for their own health,but for their families,friends and pets,too."
"If we don'tstart to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks."
  And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was shamedas the laziest city in the UK,with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise,followed byBirmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
  So there are some problems for the National Health Service,where fatness-related (相关的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

    Some time ago,an old businessman had a large store in Boston.He wanted a boy to work for him,and he put an advertisement in the newspaper.The next morning,many boys came to the old man’s office,asking for the job.
    There was a post(柱子)by his desk,and there was a nail(钉子)in it.He took a walking-stick and said,“Everyone has three chances.If anyone can hit the nail on the head with this stick more than once,I will give him the job.”
    The boy thought it was very easy.They all tried,but nobody could make it.So the old man said,“I’m sorry I can’t take any of you.”And they left.
    He kept the advertisement in the papers,and the next morning many more boys came,and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before.The boy hit the nail successfully for three times.The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.
“Yes,”said the boy,“I failed yesterday,but I thought that if I kept on trying a while,I could do it.So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it,and I got up very early this morning,and tried again.”
    The old man said,“You are the boy for me,”and gave him the job.Whatever the boy had to do,he tried to do his best.It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.

66.Did the thin boy get the job at last?Yes,he did.
67.What did the old man have in Boston?A large store.
68.Where did the boy practice hitting a nail?At home./In his home..
11."Am I my brother's keeper?"The question comes from the Bible(圣经).In the Bible,Cain kills his brother Abel.When God asks Cain where Abel is,he replies,"I don't know.Am I my brother's keeper?"by which he means,"Am I responsible(有责任心的) for my brother-his safety and health?"The answer,of course,is"Yes,you are."
This sense of responsibility for others is basic to all good societies.And also it is basic to what we call"civil(文明的) society".China is now working on building a civilsociety and the high schools in Shanghai want students to take part in that through volunteering.They are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer work before graduation.This is something new in China,but it is not new in other countries.
In the Canadian province of Ontario,high school students are required to do forty hours of volunteering.In some American states,the volunteering requirement is one hundred hours.These students spend about an hour a week during the school year and summer vacations,helping the poor,the sick and the old.They also teach young children to read and help to clean up the environment.And studies have shown that this volunteering experience influences students a lot after graduation.
Some of you may be thinking,"Gee,sixty class hours is a lot.How can I find the time?"In fact,if you finish it in three years,you only need to do the work about three class hours a month.And the time is well spent if it helps you realize that"being your brother's keeper"makes you a better person and makes society a better place for everyone.

38.A Shanghaihigh school student should finish class hours of volunteer work before graduation.C
A.thirty

C.sixty

C.doing the volunteer work  
D.playing more sports

A.being a good school student 
B.being responsible for others
C.taking good care of your brother
