It's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week listed eight bad eating habits.
●Watching television while having meals or snacks.
Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.
● Replacing meals with snacks.
Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物),proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt.
●Having drinks rather than water.
Fizzy (有气泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can
cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda and coffee actually take water away from your body.
●Refusing to drink milk.
Milk is the best natural food—it provides you with protein, which makes your bones strong and teeth healthy.
● Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.
Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition (营养失调) and a weaker body.
●Eating in front of the computer and staying there after meals.
Take a walk after eating and it helps your stomach digest the meal.
●Buying from roadside snack bars.
If you shop at these places, be careful—many are not clean enough.
● Eating throat tablets as if they were sweets.
If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria in your mouth and cause real throat problems.

【小题2】Why can't soft drinks be drunk in place of water when you feel thirsty?

American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects, even if they are wealthier.But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family, heavy responsibilities, or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary (惯例的)in the neighborhood.
Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself.If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is.He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear.
The idea of a bank account is too early for so small a child, although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins—not all of them, only a part of what he receives—to buy something he especially wants.By the time he is eight he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account, parents may take him to the bank, open a savings account for him and encourage him to put a certain quantity or any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry(存入) is made.
He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friend.The boy who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while, because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him, is a sorry child.
【小题1】Choose the best exolaration for the underlined part in the second paragraph.

A.It is a kind of bank run by children.
B.It is a contralre in the shape of a pig for saving coins.
C.It is a certain place in which pigs are raise.
D.It is a bank whose building looks like a pig
【小题2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Most of the rich people in America give children much pocket money.
B.American children usually have their bank accounts until they are eight.
C.American parents seldom care for their children's spending money.
D.American children begin to learn how to manage money when very young.
【小题3】Suppose an 8-year-old child receives 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he may probably ____.
A.spend the money on the things he wants
B.compare the gift with that of his friend
C.have most of it saved in the bank
D.put all the money in his piggy bank
【小题4】Why does the writer think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns?
A.Because he can not manage his money and is kept himself in an unfavorable position
B.Because he can not join the fellows in a sweet shop once in a while
C.Because he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself
D.Because he can not have any other choice but save, earn of spend money

三节.阅读理解(40%)

阅读理解下面的短文,然后按要求答题。

I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.

San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.

Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.

第二节:(共5小题;每小韪分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有多余选项。

  51  The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other green house gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.

Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks

You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill.While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as  ‘‘green’’  fertilizer in your garden.

The payoff:   52 

Strategy2: Turn off your computer

When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.  53 

The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds

Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags

Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them.Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.

The payoff:   54 The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom

Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.

The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing.Look for eco paper towels too.

Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)

Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy.  55  

The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.
