It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework,   41  newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see   42  do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful   43  she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked   44  she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite   45  . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world   46  you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as   47  you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to   48  . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at   49  tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to   50  the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers are fond of food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People call this kind of food “junk food”.

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.

Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:

Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.

Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.

Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar.

Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins(维生素)and have little fat.

Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. It is good for their body and mind.

Henry was a carpenter(木匠)of our village. Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I arrived home that evening, Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work.。

My wife said to me,quietly , “ That’s his ninth cup of tea today . ” But she said loudly, “It’s a beautiful table,dear,isn’t it?”

“I won’t decide about that until I see that bill.” I said.

Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said:

BILL One dining table June 10 , 1995Cost of wood 17.00Paint(油漆)1.50Work,8 hours(1 an hour) 8.00Total(总计)36.50

When I was looking at the bill , Henry said , “it’s been a fine day,hasn’t it? Quite sunny.”

“Yes , ” I said. “I’m glad it is only the 10th of June.”

“Me too,” , said Henry. “You wait一it’ll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”

“Yes. Hotter一and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th , won’t they , Henry?”

Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him.

“If it isn’t too much trouble , Henry , ” I said , “ Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”

I paid him 26. 50 and he was happy to get it.

To err is human. To blame(责备) the other guy is even more human.

Common sense is not all that common.

Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?

These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite – find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity(成熟).

Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”

And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?

1.Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?

A.A secretary works to a timetable.

B.A company’s next move follows a good plan.

C.A girl goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.

D.A man tries to manage everything in a large company.

2.What can we infer from the last paragraph according to the writer?

A.A good excuse is the same as honesty.

B.Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.

C.Unpleasant truth is better than a good excuse.

D.Making a good excuse is sometimes a better idea.

3.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.A Mirror of Human Nature

B.To Blame or to Forgive

C.A Mark of Maturity

D.Truth or Excuse
