13.Any dog's love and loyalty can feel like a miracle.In a case,Mason,a one-year-old,may be the most amazing one on the earth.
The long-legged pup in North Smithfield,Alabama,was caught in a storm his family's garage last spring.His family thought he would be safe there,but the storm broke the garage door and Mason disappeared.
Dozens of people died that day.Mason's family was grateful just to be alive.But they were heartbroken at the thought that their sweet,playful companion had died.They combed the neighborhood,hoping by chance to find him,but Mason didn't turn up.Three weeks after the disaster,Mason's family were surprised to find Mason on the front door,so ecstatic to see his family.Where had Mason landed during the windstorm?What did he eat for those long weeks?How did he find his way back home?
  There was no answer to those questions and no time to work it out.Mason was terribly thin and couldn't stand properly.The family quickly sought help and learned their beloved dog had crawled home on broken front legs."He was simply on his elbows(肘),"says Dr.Doster.
  Doster had spent days reuniting pets with their owners and took an instant liking to the brave dog.He contacted Dr.William Lamb of Vulcan Park Animal Care in Birmingham,who volunteered to perform the needed surgery for free.Lamb inserted two metal plates and 17 screws(螺丝钉) in an operation that lasted more than three hours.Mason's injuries were so significant that he required weeks of recovery to heal.By the time he returned home to his family in September,he was jumping around again."There were no ill effects whatsoever,which is a miracle in itself,"Doster says.

3.What is the most popular way to travel in the whole world,not counting a human being's two legs?You say by car?No.Train?Wrong again.Airplane?I'm sorry,but you're not even close.The most popular way of going from one place to another is by bicycle.And it is a surprise to most Americans.After all,we see thousands of cars each day.We don't see nearly as many bikes.
In the United States most bike riders are either young people or adults bicycling for exercise.About nine million bikes are sold in America each year.Nearly three million are sold to adults.The rest are to children.But in the rest of the world,far more people use the bike as their main way of traveling.They ride bikes to work,to school,and to stores.
Bicycles have been around for a long time-about 300 years.You would not like to ride around on those early bikes,though.They didn't have any pedals (脚蹬).The riders had to push along with their feet.And this bike only went straight ahead.There was no way to turn the front wheel.If the rider wanted to change direction,he or she had to get off and move the bicycle.When pedals were put on the front wheels,riding became easier.The most popular kind of bike in the late 1800s had a very high front wheel and a small back wheel.It was a long fall to the ground!
Another problem was that there were no rubber tires (橡胶轮胎).It's no wonder that one bike was called the"Boneshaker."Then in the 1880s,air-filled rubber tires were put on the bicycle's wheels.Since then the bicycle has not changed very much.Of course bikes come in different shapes and colors now,but the main design is still the same.
29.Compared with those in America,bikes in the rest of the worldB.
A.are much cheaper            
B.enjoy greater popularity
C.are mainly used by children    
D.are mainly used to do exercise
30.Why did people dislike riding early bikes?C
A.They were too large.
B.They were dangerous.
C.They were hard to control.
D.They were too high for many people.
31.The underlined word"Boneshaker"in the last paragraph shows the bike wasA.
A.old            B.Slow      C.broken            D.uncomfortable
32.The author wrote this text mainly toD.
A.warn readers about bicycle safety    
B.introduce the new shapes of bicycles
C.encourage readers to bicycle for exercise
D.inform readers about the history of bicycles.
1.One of the newest taboos (禁忌)  in  American society is the topic of fat.Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that America talk about often.It is not taboo to talk about fat; it's taboo to be fat.
The"in"look is thin.In the work world,most companies prefer youthful-looking,slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public.The thin look is associated with youth,vigor and success.The fat person,on the other hand,is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy,self-discipline and self-respect.After all,people think,how can people who care about themselves,and therefore the way they look,allow themselves to become fat?In an image conscious society like the U.S.,fat is"out".
It is not surprising,then,that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷)with staying slim and"in shape".The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not,however,the only reason for America's obsession with diet and exercise.
Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health.As in most technologically developed nations,the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century.Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.As the result of inactivity and disuse,people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease.In an effort to avoid such a fate,millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear:parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists,physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.
28.In the United States,fat is somethingA.
A.people always talk about
B.not regarded as a taboo topic
C.people usually pay no attention to
D.belonging to the same treatment as other taboos
29.What do Americans think of thin people?B
A.Their work helps them to look youthful
B.They are energetic and successful.
C.Their appearances affects their behavior
D.They are lacking in self-discipline.
30.According to Paragraph 4,which of the following is an example of"inactivity?C
A.Mary does her housework by hand.
B.Celia takes part in a marathon
C.Cecilia goes to her office by car.
D.Margaret plays badminton every Saturday.
31.Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists?D
A.Because these parks are fit for sports.
B.Because people are enjoying prestigious status in parks.
C.Because people are taking part in physical education programs.
D.Because people now recognize they should do more exercise.
3.Drinking more than two alcoholic drinks daily in middle-age may raise your stroke(中风) risk more than traditional factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病),according to new research in the American Heart Association journal Stroke.
In a study of 11,644middle-aged Swedish twins who were followed for 43years,researchers compared the effects of an average of more than two drinks daily ("heavy drinking") to less than half a drink daily ("light drinking").
The study showed that:
•Heavy drinkers had about a 34percent higher risk of stroke compared to light drinkers.
•Mid-life heavy drinkers (in their 50s and 60s) were likely to have a stroke five years earlier in life irrespective of genetic and early-life factors.
•Heavy drinkers had increased stroke risk in their mid-life compared to well-known risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes.
•At around age 75,blood pressure and diabetes appeared to take over as one of the main influences on having a stroke.
Past studies have shown that alcohol affects stroke risk,but this is the first study to pinpoint differences with age."We now have a clearer picture about these risk factors----how they change with age and how the influence of drinking alcohol shifts as we get older,"said Pavla Kadlecová,M.Sc.,a statistician at St.Anne's University Hospital's International Clinical Research Center in the Czech Republic.
Researchers analyzed results from the Swedish Twin Registry of same-sex twins who answered questionnaires in 1967-1970.All twins were under age 60at the start.By 2010,the Registry had provided 43years of follow-up,including hospital discharge(出院) and cause of death data.
Researchers then sorted(整理) the data based on strokes,high blood pressure,diabetes and other cardiovascular (心血管)incidents.Almost 30percent of participants had a stroke.They were categorized(将…分类) as light,moderate,heavy or non-drinkers based on the questionnaires.Researchers compared the risk from drinking and health risks like high blood pressure,diabetes and smoking.Among identical twin pairs,siblings(兄弟姐妹) who had a stroke drank more than their siblings who hadn't had a stroke,suggesting that mid-life drinking raises stroke risks regardless of genetics and early lifestyle.
The study is consistent (一致)with the American Heart Association's recommended limit of two drinks a day for men and one for women.That's about 8ounces of wine for a man and 4ounces for a woman.
Regular heavy drinking of any kind of alcohol can raise blood pressure and cause heart failure or irregular heartbeats over time,in addition to stroke and other risks."For mid-aged adults,avoiding more than two drinks a day could be a way to prevent stroke in later productive age,"Kadlecová said.

A.It revealed five related results
B.It lasted for a period of over 50years
C.It involved the age factor in the causes of strokes

11.What does the passage mainly tell us?B.
A.People without a stroke can drink more alcohol than those having a stroke in middle age
