16.Whether you're a child,teenager,young adult or are middle-aged,respect for your parents is an important value.Your parents are the people who raised you,devoting time,energy and money to your development.(36)ENo matter your age,there are 5ways to show respect.
●Respect their belongings.
One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents.For younger children,this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things.For grown children,respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time.Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries.(37)GAnd never borrow things without asking first.
●Punctuality.
(38)CTherefore,always be on time.For teenagers,showing up on time means coming home by curfew(宵禁).Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events,or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment.Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children,no matter their age.
●(39)B
Remembering birthdays,anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents.Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies.Most parents don't expect expensive gifts,but a handmade gift is always appreciated,A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.
●Be kind.
Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect.Tell your parents you love them.Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption.Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say.Be patient with your parents and don't rush them.Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful.Acknowledge your parents'achievements.(40)D

A.Be a good listener.B.Celebrate with them.
C.Lateness indicates a lack of respect.
D.Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.
E.And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.
F.Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.
G.Don't take advantage of your parents'kindness and generosity.

11.Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night.And on the Internet,the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant.A half century ago in the United States,most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work,school time and summer time.Today the boundaries still exist,but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does.It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most,it still does.And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits,or whether it should become more"flexible,"is often debated.How should we,as a society,organize our time?Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of  time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
•These are not easy questions even to ask.Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face.We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours,a certain number of days,a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (学监),we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law.As adults we are familiar with"extra pay for overtime working,"but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes (构成)"overtime"is a matter of legal definition.When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time,have we ever thought to ourselves:"Here is the law in action"?As we shall see,there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time:compulsory education law,overtime law,and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing,holidays,being late to work,time zones,and so on.Once we begin to look for it,we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

28.By saying"Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be",the writer means thatD.
A.work time is equal to rest time
B.many people have a day off on Monday

1.You know the saying"You're as young as you feel."Well,there may be some truth t,according to that,according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Ellen Langer,a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body,and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person's perception of their age might influence their health.They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.
In one study that Langer led,47 women had their hair done.The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers,who were shown before-and-after pictures.The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure.Another study involving 4,421 men found that thise who became bald(秃顶)at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not.Similarly,another study involving 2,017men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease."We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one's real age account for some of these health outcomes,"the researchers wrote.
The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early,which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women.Similarly,people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners,according to other studies.
Taken together,the research"supports the general mind-body hypothesis(假说)that when a younger mind is prepared,a younger body can accompany it."While the mechanism remains unclear,the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can"make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health."

28.The underlined word"perception"in Paragraph 2meansA.
A.view
B.appearance
C.influence
D.creation
29.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?B
A.Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos.
B.Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems.
C.Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing.
D.The women who love hairdos look younger than those don't.
30.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4thatC.
A.a younger mother is more likely to live longer
B.the younger one of a couple lives much longer
C.often staying with younger people can benefit people's health
D.people who want to live longer need to marry young
31.The passage mainly tells us thatD.
A.Getting bald too early is not good to marry young
B.Women had better give birth later in their life
C.Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their health
D.People's feeling of their age may have an effect on their own health.
8.We've reached a strange-some would say unusual-point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization,more people now die from being overweight,or say,from being extremely fat,than from being underweight.It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.
Worse still,nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.What's going on?
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.
In the 1970s,Finland,for example,had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005,and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food.They say:it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans,complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
Some also blame their parents-their genes.But unfortunately,the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape,or rather slim.
It's a similar story around the world,although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say-not as I do.

28.What's the"strange"point mentioned in the first sentence?B
A.Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.
B.The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
C.WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.
D.Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.
29.Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?C
A.Body image has nothing to do with good food.
B.A lot of effective diet pills are available.
C.They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
D.There are too many overweight people in the world.
30.The example of Finland is used to illustrateC.
A.there are too many overweight people in the world
B.the cause of heart disease        
C.the effectiveness of a campaign
D.the fashion of body shaping
31.Which would be the best title for the passage?B
A.Overweight or Underweight
B.Actions or Excuses   
C.WHO in a Dilemma
D.No Longer Dying of Hunger.
