I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅) — all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners — people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafés are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb (a lot of money) on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 pm. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

1.The writer doesnt like London because she _________.

A. is not used to the life there now

B. has lived there for seventeen years

C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

2.Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

A. In a café. B. In a restaurant.

C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.

3.The underlined part it (in para. 4) refers to_________.

A. a taxi B. the money

C. a bomb D. public transport

4.The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he _________.

A. felt lonely in England

B. had never been to France

C. was from a typical French family

D. didnt like the British idea of family

Researchers have found that most of our tiredness comes from our mental attitudes (心态). One of England’s doctors, J.A. Hadfield, says, “ 1. . In fact, tiredness of completely physical origin (缘由) is unusual.” So, remember -- the key to improved productivity is learning to relax. Here are some suggestions for you.

Relax form time to time

2. . It is said that if you want to master the art of relaxation, study the cat. Think about it. Have you ever seen a tired cat, or a cat with a nervous break-down? You will probably avoid this kind of feeling if you learn to relax as the cat does.

Remember that tensions (紧张状态) on the body produce aching shoulders and nervous feelings. Variety and movement keep you physically and mentally alive. The most interesting task can get boring if done for long periods of time, and the most comfortable chair isn’t comfortable if the worker must sit in it for hours.

Think at the end of the day

4. . And if you are tired, is it because of the mental work you’ve done, or the way you have done it? Generally, if you feel extremely tired at the end of the day, it’s quite likely been an inefficient (效率低的) day.

5. Then you can work with a new attitude the next day.

A. Think of a cat

B. Work less hard

C. Work in a comfortable position

D. This will help you form the habit of relaxing.

E. Make notes of what changes you need to make.

F. Ask yourself how tired you are at the end of the day.

G. The greater part of tiredness comes from mental attitudes.

You know eating fruit and vegetables does good. But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look healthier and an extra 3.3 portion could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.

Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange ，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察）to others - and was seen as appealing.

A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)-which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour - and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols（多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.

1.What do we know from the research?

A. If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.

B. The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.

C. Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.

D. People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.

2.Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids？

A. They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.

B. They can prevent heart disease and cancer.

C. They can prevent age-related diseases.

D. They can keep you in good health.

3.Which of the statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. We've already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.

B. We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.

C. The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it

D. Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin.

4.We can infer from the passage that _____

A. Skin's redness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractive.

B. Carotenoids have the same effect as lycopene.

C. It is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colour.

D. Both beta-carotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface.

5.Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Eating fruit and vegetables does good .

B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids.

C. How to become attractive.

D. Eating fruit and vegetables makes you look good
