4.Scope:What led you to start an urban (城市的) garden?
Denzel:When I was 14,I went on a service trip to New Orleans.My group helped build an urban garden in a neighborhood that had all the same problems as mine.I realized we could make a difference at home too.I came back and worked with friends to find land we were allowed to use,clean it up,and build a garden.
Scope:Tell us about your neigh borhood in Philadelphia.
Denzel:There is crime (犯罪) and violence,and everybody used to see it as a place where there was nothing to do.Because there wasn't a lot of fresh food around,a typical (典型的) meal would be something like chips,soda,or cheese sticks.
Scope:What is the urban garden like?
Denzel:We have outdoor gardens and greenhouses where we can grow plants year-round.It's made a big difference in the neighborhood.
Scope:How?
Denzel:It's given people something positive (积极的) to do.Both young kids and older people come to the garden,and we help them grow their own food.They can also help with marketing when we sell food to local restaurants.People are eating healthier,too.Food is connected to everything.
Scope:What do you mean?
Denzel:If you don't eat fresh food,you feel tired and unhealthy.People who eat fresh food are more confident.People who grow their own food are even more confident.
Scope:Has that been true for you?
Denzel:As a young teen,I ate nothing but unhealthy food and was overweight.I felt depressed about where I lived.That changed when I started working on the garden.The physical work helped me get in better shape,and I went from eating chips to salad.I realized I could make a change for the better.

14.One of the important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together.About ten years ago,researchers began to report the benefits of family dinner,focusing mainly on how it affects children.Studies show that those families,who eat dinner at least 3or 4times a week together,benefit in many ways.
Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships.Children have better grades at school and the whole family enjoys healthier environment.For many families,eating dinner together proves to be good and an effective way to reduce the risk of youth crimes,and helps to raise healthier children.It is also a great time to share the events of the day,discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other's company(陪伴).
During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the important ones to their children.Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children's school performance,daily activities and attitudes toward life.When parents have all this information,they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life.They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol,tobacco,and illegal drugs.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS.)
70.  benefits the whole family.Have dinner together.
71.In what way can eating together help families?It achieves open communication and builds stronger and healthier relationships.
72.Which sentence in Paragraph 3best describes the role the parents?Direct their kids toward positive things in life..
19.Where do you keep ice?In die freezer,of course.That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world.They've decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt.
Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault (地下室)there.He says:"We are probably the only scientific community whose sample (样本) is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet.If you work on rocks or on tree rings,the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries."
And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps?Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years.Trapped air bubbles (气泡) contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed.Ice is a record of climate.By examining ice,we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years.Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future.
The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station,which is operated by scientists from France and Italy.The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10meters below the surface at a constant temperature of-50*C.This will put the scientists'minds at rest.Losing the ice samples would be a disaster,and nobody wants to see a mine of scientific knowledge lost forever in a giant pool.
32.What is the researchers'purpose of studying ice?A
A.To learn about climate.
B.To learn about the Alps.
C.To trap air bubbles.
D.To reduce carbon dioxide.
33.Jerome compares ice with rocks and tree rings to state thatD.
A.ice should be stored at home
B.it's more valuable to study ice
C.ice disappears very quickly
D.it's necessary to store ice
34.What makes Antarctica a safe place to store ice?B
A.Its large mountains.
B.Its function as a freezer.
C.The abundant ice samples there.
D.The absence of global warming.
35.What do scientists think of storing ice in Antarctica?D
A.They consider it an easy job.
B.They're not optimistic about it.
C.They think it will cause disasters.
D.They think it's a reliable way.
9.Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test?Have you ever been so worried about something that you can't sleep at night?(36)F This worry in your mind can made your body feel bad.You may feel angry,frustrated,scared,or afraid------which can give you a stomachache or a headache.
    (37)AGood or normal stress might happen when you're called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech.This kind of stress can help you to get things better done.(38)G
    But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time.You may not feel well if your parents are fighting,if a family member is sick,if you're having problems at school,or if you're going through anything else that makes you upset every day.(39)D    
(40)CThat means making good decisions about how to spend your time.If you're only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play,you can get stressed.Make sure you keep yourself in mind:Sleep,Exercise,Leisure(休闲),and Food.If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food,and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff,you'll probably be less stressed out!
A.However,there are two different kinds of stress.
B.Can you tell a kind of stress from another one?
C.The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life.
D.That kind of stress isn't going to help you,and it can actually make you sick.
E.Since bad stress is harmful for us,you'd better try to change it into good stress.
F.If so,then you know what stress is.Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.
G.For example,you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test.
14.The oddness of life in space never quite goes away.Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep.Its position presents its own challenges.The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag.If you leave your arms out,they float free in zero gravity,often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾) dancer."I'm an inside guy,"Mike Hopkins says,who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station."I like to be wrapped up."
On the station,the ordinary becomes strange.The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars.It also has no seat.With no gravity,it's just as easy to pedal violently.You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want.But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long.Without gravity to help circulate air,the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around you head.You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao,54,an American retired astronaut after four flights,describes what happens even before you float out of your seat,"Your inner ear thinks your're falling.Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight.That can be annoying-that's why some people feel sick."Within a couple days-truly terrible days for some-astronauts,brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear,and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous.For instance,astronauts lose bone mass.That's why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule.The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home,and,more importantly,how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.

32.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A
A.Deciding on a proper sleep position
B.Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag
C.Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly
D.Finding a right time to go to sleep.
33.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache whenC.
A.the y circle around on their bikes
B.they use microcomputers without a stop
C.they exercise in one place for a long time
D.they watch a movie while pedaling
34.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days becauseD.
A.their senses stop working
B.they have to stand up straight
C.they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D.whether they are able to go back to the station
35.One of the NASA's major concerns about astronauts isB.
A.how much exercise they do on the station
B.how they can remain healthy for long in space
C.Whether they can recover after returning home
D.whether they are able to go back to the station.
