18.When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life,she did what comes naturally.The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and,being a city animal,lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of a cliff and fell 100 feet,bouncing off a rock into the sea.
Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall,who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90minute search.
Three days later,a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.
For the next two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve Tregear,the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holden if he would like his dog back.
A birdwatcher,armed with a telescope,found the pet sitting desperately on a rock.While he sounded the alarm,a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.
The dog had initially been knocked unconscious but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge."The dog was very thin and hungry,"Steve Tregear said."It was a very lucky dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,"he added.
It was,as Mr.Holden admitted,"a minor miracle".

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.
9.请阅读下面短文,并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题,用英语写一篇150词左右的文章.
Life is a matter of choice.Seemingly,it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things.But in fact,it means choosing a way of life.Life is to be lived and enjoyed,not to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease---SARS.Yet,even during those dreadful times,some suffering people remained optimistic.Instead of wearing white masks,some people turned to colorful ones,and thus displayed a happy mood.And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean"SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING."People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.
Although we cannot choose our appearance,inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境),we do have the right to choose to live optimistically,to love our lives,to have dreams,and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up,we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.

Our Life Rests on Our Choice
Faced with disasters and adversities,some people choose to stay optimistic and determine to carry on regardless of the hardships.Life,to some extent,rests on our choice.
Life is full of ups and downs.When the time comes for us to make choices,we should be aware of the importance of a positive attitude.A positive attitude somehow resembles the sail of a ship,which offers us the right direction.
As a teenager,it is of great significance to t ake a positive attitude towards life.To stay energetic,I will stick to an exercise schedule.I will also keep myself informed of the current events and communicate more with others,becoming socially connected.
All these mentioned above will be beneficial for me to grow into an optimistic and confident young man.Only by doing so can I adjust myself to society more easily and stay motivated towards a better life.(150 words).

1.It has taken an extremely long time-161 years-but the National Portrait Gallery finally has the Duke(公爵)of Wellington in its collection after a fundraising campaign reached its£1.3m target.
The gallery announced on Thursday that it had acquired Sir Thomas Lawrence's unfinished final painting of a man regarded as Britain's greatest soldier after a successful appeal.
Nicholas Cullinan,the gallery's director,said the NPG had been looking for a suitable painting of the Duke of Wellington since the gallery was founded in 1856.
He called it"a remarkable painting'',while Lucy Peltz,the gallery's senior manager of 18th-century paintings,said the work was"an inspiring and powerful image of one of the most influential men of the 18ih and 19th centuries".
The NPG announced last November that it needed to raise£300,000,the final piece of a funding jigsaw(拼图).The Art Fund had already contributed£350,000 and the appeal reached its target thanks to£200,000 from the G&K Boyes charitable trust and£180,000 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.A further£570,000 came from a public appeal and the gallery's own funds.
It was painted in 1829 when Wellington was prime minister,however,Lawrence died in 1830leaving the portrait unfinished.The gallery believes it is a more attractive work because of that,with the viewer focusing more on the man himself rather than any clothes of power.
Dan Snow,the historian and broadcaster,said Wellington was a"titanic figure"in British history…the only field greatest prime minister,a man of genius on and off the battlefield.He added:"This arresting portrait must sit in the national collection and now,following an outpouring of donation,it will do.The artist has caught the Duke's legendary features.Among his many contributions to British life he formed the culture of unbending spirit in the face of difficulty."
The painting was lent to the NPG in 2015for an exhibition marking the Battle of Waterloo.
