A

Lots of people usually discard the skin when they eat fruit and vegeta?bles. However, the skin of some fruit can provide more nutrients (营养物) and health benefits.

Bananas―When you eat bananas, don't just throw away the peel. If you are feeling down and blue? it will help you to get into a lighter mood. Taiwanese researchers found out banana peel contains serotonin(血清素),a chemical that balances the mood. 丁o use it, simply boil banana skin in wa?ter for about 10 minutes. You can drink it when it's cool.

 Citrus (W橘属类)fruit—I know lots of people love oranges and lem?ons. But they usually throw away the peel and just eat what's inside. The juice also contains antioxidants (抗氧化剂),but the peel has higher concen?tration (浓度)of them. In fact, the peel has 20 times more antioxidants than the content! Antioxidants help fight off the bad LDL cholesterol(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇).So if you want your body to be free of bad cholesterol, don't throw away all the orange peel !

Apples―I know a lot of people eat apples with their peel on. So, just a reminder: apple peel contains about 87 per cent more nutrients that help to fight cancer, according to a study by Comer University.

Potatoes—Potato skin is rich in nutrients like fibre, iron and vitamin C. Just wash the whole potato thoroughly and cook with the skin on, whether you are going to mash (捣碎)or bake the potato. In addition, potatoes help in preventing cancer and heart disease* since they also have antioxidants in them.

It is a hot summer day,and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings and sometimes one causes the other,but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them.

When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you feel as iP everything is against you. You may compensate for it by eating chocolates and sweets because this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure, yet this does not make him happier4 especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health.

The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created, changed, transformed and then destroyed. This Ls the normal state of things and no one can change it. If we stay still in a cer?tain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind.

The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied,and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside.

12.  What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

  A.  To make a suitable payment for.

B.  To let out your anger for.

C.  To provide with a balancing effect for.

D.  To solve the problems for.

13.  According to the passage, in which of the following situations can you feel happy?

  A.  A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty.

B.  You eat chocolates and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you.

C.  Smoke cigarettes even though you knew the fact that it is not good for your health.

D.  You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.

14.  We can learn from the passage______ .

  A.  happiness is more dependent on the five senses

B.  pleasure sometimes arouses happiness

C.  you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state

D.  you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment

15.  Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Pleasure leads to happiness    B.  Happiness changes us

C..Happiness is within us       D.  Stay a quiet mind

Dr Julie Coulton, a British psychologist,focuses her research on the ex?traordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that pla?ying outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.

Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergar?tens to assure the small playground outside. Recent statistics (数据)and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent out?side.

As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses. Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do to make their children eat healthy and balanced.

Children need a space where to develop their creativity and parents should encourage them all the time. Too many rules hold back the children's personality and creativity and prevent them developing the desire to know, to find out, to learn.

If you tell your child so many times : " Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there... ,,, he will lose the desire to do something, even any?thing. Parents must watch their children without suffocating(窒息)them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically ex?plain them your reasons and they will understand.

Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take deci?sions. Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to express their feelings.

A.  most parents pay no attention to their children's playing

B.  never to forbid children to do anything they want to do

C.  to explain why when you don't let children do something
