7．The holidays don't have to be hard on your figure．We asked past winners of NBC's The Biggest Loser how they lost their weight．
1．Don't let the weather stop you．
"The winter was frightening me away-I was afraid I wouldn't be able to exercise．So I'm learning to play ice hockey（曲棍球）!To keep yourself going，find things that are fun for you．"
-Helen Phillips，season 7
2．Get back up after you fall．
"I lost 214 pounds on The Biggest Loser，but finally the weight started to return because I stopped making the effort．I had to remember：going to the gym is not a punishment-it's something I do because I care about myself．"
-Erik Chopin，season 3
3．Remember that age is just a number．
"Before I went on the show，I sat on the sofa and lived my life through the TV．Now，in addition to ice hockey，I've tried running and I've become a runner-and I'm 50 years old!If you want to lose the weight，ask yourself："is it that I can't or that I won't？"
-Helen Phillips
4．Set small goals，and celebrate when you reach them．
"I needed goals，different things to go after in a day-a distance that you can cover or a weight goal．Without them，I wasn't celebrating myself enough，and I got really good at beating myself up．"
-Ali Vincent
5．Squeeze（挤）it in．
"When I'm in the store，I'll do lunges up and down exercise．In the checkout line，you could do squats．I used to worry about what people thought of me，but I don't care anymore．I know I'm going to get the last laugh．"
-Ali Vincent

17．we have earned theapproval from the government to build a new science lab．（批准）
18．She had consented to go away，to leave her home．Was that wise？She tried to weigh each side of the question．In her home anyway she had shelter and food；she had those whom she had known all her life about her．Of course she had to work hard，both in the house and at the stores．
But in her new home，in a distant unknown country，it would not be like that．Then she would be married-she，Eveline．People would treat her with respect then．She would not be treated as her mother had been．Even now，though she was over nineteen，she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father's violence．She knew it was that that had given her the palpitations．When they were growing up he had never gone for her like he used to go for Harry and Ernest，because she was a girl and latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother's sake．And now she had nobody to protect her．Ernest was dead and Harry，who was in the church decorating business，was nearly always down somewhere in the country．She always gave her entire wages and Harry always sent up what he could but the trouble was to get any money from her father．
She was about to explore another life with Frank．Frank was very kind，manly，open-hearted．She was to go away with him by the night-boat to be his wife and to live with him in Buenos Ayres where he had a home waiting for her．How well she remembered the first time she had seen him；He used to meet her outside the Stores every evening and see her home．People knew that they were courting．Of course，her father had found out the affair and had forbidden her to have anything to say to him．
The white of two letters in her lap grew indistinct．One was to Harry；the other was to her father．Ernest had been her favourite but she liked Harry too．Her father was becoming old lately，she noticed；he would miss her．Sometimes he could be very nice．Not long before，when she had been laid up for a day，he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire．Another day，when their mother was alive，they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth．She remembered her father putting on her mothers bonnet to make the children laugh．
Her time was running out but she continued to sit by the window．Down far in the avenue she could hear a street organ playing．She knew the air．Strange that it should come that very night to remind her of the promise to her mother，her promise to keep the home together as long as she could．
As she mused （沉思），the pitiful vision of her mother's life laid its spell on the bottom of her heart．She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror．Escape!She must escape!Frank would save her．He would give her life，perhaps love，too．
She stood among the swaying crowd in the station at the North Wall．He held her hand and she knew that he was speaking to her，saying something about the passage over and over again．She answered nothing．She felt her cheek pale and cold and，out of a maze of distress，she prayed to God to direct her，to show her what was her duty．The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist．If she went，tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank，steaming towards Buenos Ayres．Their passage had been booked．Could she still draw back after all he had done for her？Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer．
A bell clanged upon her heart．She felt him seize her hand：
"Come!Come!"
No!No!No!It was impossible．Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy．Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish．
"Eveline!Evvy!"
He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow．He was shouted at to go on but he still called to her．She set her white face to him，passive，like a helpless animal．Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition．

65．Which of the following is true of Eveline's life？A
A．She fell in love with Frank．
B．Her life was wholly undesirable．
C．She was respected by the local people．

D．Strict，greedy and narrow-minded．
67．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3and 4？A

C．Eveline and Frank's love got support from her brother Henry．
D．Eveline had made up her mind to explore another life with Frank．

12．The outdoor billboard presents a masked health worker in a protective suit appearing over a bed-ridden patient．Above them，bright red letters warn people on a busy street in Abidjan，Ivory Coast that"The Ebola risk is always there．"
As the country tries to keep off an Ebola outbreak destroying neighboring West African states，such serious reminders of the catastrophe unfolding across its western border are everywhere．The worst recorded outbreak of the virus has killed more than 2，622 people in Liberia，Sierra Leone and Guinea and has also spread to Nigeria and Senegal．Yesterday it was confirmed there were 5，335 cases diagnosed，though that figure may be inaccurate as most patients are at home not in hospital．
If Ebola reaches Ivory Coast，the powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa，the economic consequences could be huge．The country exports 40 percent of the world's cocoa，the raw material for chocolate，an d supplies its landlocked neighbors with everything from rice to fuel．
The country is therefore taking the kind of aggressive anti-infection measures．Hand-washing stations have appeared at the entrance of government buildings and office towers i n Abidjan．People have also abandoned the traditional three-kiss greeting．Mass text messages have been sent out nationwide．And children，exposed to warnings on radio and television，separate their classmates in a playground game they call"Ebola"．
Coast government has even imposed strict measures at its borders．Flights to and from Guinea，Sierra Leone and Liberia have been banned-arousing anger in those count ries-and last month the western border was shut．
"The infectious disease，particularly in Sierra Leone and Liberia，is outpacing our attempts to control it，"said Marc Poncin．"Ivory Coast is the country most at risk．It's probably a matter of time before it appears in Ivory Coast．"
Citizens of Abidjan are cautious．On packed public buses，people try to avoid touching．"It's often difficult because you can't avoid human contact，"said student Cesar Kouakou．"But we try to do it because no one knows what causes this sickness．"
 
24．According to the text，Ivory Coast is the place whereD．
A．the Ebola risk is actually everywhere
B．about 5，335 people were infected by Ebola
C．Ebola is spreading nationwide quickly
D．it provides the world with much cocoa
25．Which measure did Ivory Coast take to fight Ebola？A
A．People give up their traditional greeting way of kiss
B．Children are advised to play a game of Ebola
C．All flights to Ivory Coast have been cancelled
D．Text messages on Ebola are sent every day
26．According to the text，it can be implied thatD．
A．Ebola will be completely controlled in Ivory Coast
B．The public buses aren't crowded any more
C．Touching others is forbidden in buses
D．The root of Ebola hasn't been discovered
27．What might be the most suitable title for the passage？D
A．Western African countries suffer from Ebola
B．Ebola is getting out of control in Africa
C．Ebola is spreading across Ivory Coast
D．Ivory Coast battles to keep Ebola out．
19．Some Life Skills Teenagers Should Learn
Healthy habits，
Teens should understand the importance of sleep，exercise and nutrition．（36）GAlso，teach healthy self-soothing（自我安抚）skills for managing disappointment．Teens don't handle disappointment well these days，which contributes to anxiety
Dealing with conflict．
Whether dealing with a thoughtless roommate or an unclear boss，teens need to learn to have uncomfortable conversations．When we handle things for our kids，they learn to avoid situations that feel difficult．
（37）F
Phone skills．
（38）DThis seems simple to you．However，this seems not so much to a generation of texters．Have teens practice by ordering the family's to-go meal by phone and making their own doctor and dentist appointments．If they get sick in college-and they will-they'll need to contact the student health clinic without you．
（39）A
Teens should know how to settle their checking account and understand budget basics．Explain how health insurance works，what a co-pay is and the nuts and bolts of credit cards．
Household chores．
Teens should not only understand two to run a washing machine，but how to fold clothes and put them away．Have your child sweep the floor，clean a bathroom，cook breakfast for the family or go to the grocery store for you．（40）E they  may complain but the more tasks teens handle，the more competent they'll feel when they move out．Competence begets confidence．

A．Money basics．
B．Developing confidence．
C．Sometimes they might lost patience．
D．Teens need practice talking on the phone．
E．Kids need to experience great skill at home．
F．So let your teen handle talking to her coach，teacher or boss．
G．Before you can do anything well，you have to have healthy habits．
16．How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn't have to be as difficult as it might seem．The trick is to be patient，straightforward，and to remember that deaf people communicate visually．
Method 1：Starting Your Conversation
（36）AYou can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance，or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder．
Position yourself carefully．Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face，and that you're not standing with your back to a light． （37）E
Find out how the person prefers to communicate．Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others．Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter．Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods．（38）F
Method 2：Communicating through Lip-reading．
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language． （39）GThe more complex your phrasing and vocabulary，the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something．
When someone else is speaking，don't turn away from the deaf person in your group．（40）D
You don't have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking，but try to make sure your face is visible．

A．Get the person's attention．
B．It's important not talk too quickly．
C．Or，they'll miss parts of the conversation．
D．If so，it'll make them feel left out of the conversation．
E．Stand directly in front of the person，at a normal distance．
F．The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask．
G．Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning．
14．Children whose minds wander might have sharper brains，a research suggests．
A study has found that people who appear to be often distracted （走神） have more"working memory"，giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and control it cleverly．
Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks，such as following teachers'instructions or remembering dictated （听写的） sentences．During the study，volunteers were asked to perform one simple task during which researchers kept asking if their minds were wandering．At the end，volunteers measured their working memory capacity （容量） by their ability to remember a series of letters mixed with simple maths questions．
Daniel Levinson，a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States，said that those with higher working memory capacity reported"more mind wandering during these simple tasks"，but their performance did not suffer．
The results，published online in the journal Psychological Science，appear to confirm former research that found working memory allows humans to deal with multiple thoughts at the same time．
Dr Jonathan Smallwood，of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science in Leipzig，Germany，said，"What this study seems to suggest is that，when surroundings for the task aren't very difficult，people with additional working memory capacity use them effectively to think about other things besides what they're doing．"
Working memory capacity is also associated with general measures of intelligence，such as reading comprehension and IQ scores．Dr Smallwood added："Our results suggest the sorts of planning that people do quite often in daily life-when they are on the bus，when they are cycling to work，when they are in the shower-are probably supported by working memory．"

28．During the study，the researchers asked the volunteers toD．
A．solve some difficult math's problems
B．retell some dictated sentences
C．follow the teacher's instructions
D．carry out one simple task
29．The underlined word"suffer"in the fourth paragraph probably meansA．
A．become worse    B．settle down   C．experience pain  D．run out
30．According to the study，working memoryC．
A．prevents people from remembering dictated sentences
B．causes people's minds to wander more easily
C．allows people to consider more things at the same time
D．leads to people's worse performance during work
31．What's the text mainly about？B
A．How the working memory works in the daily life．
B．Wandering minds might have brighter brains．
C．Why people's minds wander while working．
D．Working ability can be improved by wandering minds．
