19．Pilates，yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy．There is，however，a more humbleexercise that might not be so attractive，but has all benefits-walking．
Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains，"What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level．Plus，it's good for your heart，your head and your wallet．"
A recent report details the health benefits of walking．The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week，recommended by the UK's chief medical officer，could save 37，000 lives each year．Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running．They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%，while running reduced it by 4.5%．And there is even more good news：30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily，according to research by Oregon State University．The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day．
The sooner you get started，the sooner you will notice the differences in your mind and body．
So，go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space．

9．You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater．You listen to their conversation：
"I can't believe it--a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find．Isn't it beautiful？And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome．"
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater．It's nice and the price is right．You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla，but those girls looked really stylish．They must know．So，you buy it．You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency．They are actually paid to go from store to store，talking loudly about Lorenzo BertoHa clothes．
Every day we notice what people are wearing，driving and eating．If the person looks cool，the product seems cool，too．This is the secret of undercover （暗中进行的）marketing．Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it．
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising．This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18and 34．It is a golden group．They have a lot of money to spend，but they don't trust ads．
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go．Some people might call this practice misleading，but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．"Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing．"
However，one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater？Adverting executives would say it's no less real than an ad．The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something．You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance．

60．The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldB．
A．get the sweater at a lower price        B．be heard by people around
C．be admired by other shoppers            D．decide on buying the sweater
61．Lorenzo Bertolla isD．
A．a very popular male singer            B．an advertising agency
C．a clothing company in Rome            D．the brand name of a sweater
62．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？C
A．The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company．
B．The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads．
C．Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct．
D．Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government．
63．Which of the following would be the best rifle for the text？D
A．Two Attractive Shoppers       B．Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C．Ways of Advertising           D．Undercover Marketing．

1．（37）C
You can't post photos optionally．Think of it like stealing grapes at the grocery store when a clerk isn't watching．So when DO you actually post？Sunday evening is"prime time"for likes．Because"everyone is bored and not doing homework．I guess that applies to the real world too!When not to post？Mornings!The likes are"strange and sporadic（零散的）．"
   2．Also，don't post too much．
I don't care how much you're feeling your look．（38）D This isn't a buffet：we want a very small piece of your life．Remember，"You can't give the people too much or they will pass their eye over it quickly．"If you're posting three to four times a week，others may"reevaluate your life"．I see no lies!
3．But if it is a big week in your life，feel free to post more than usual．
Of course，there's always the exception to the rule．（39）EThe social media shouldn't punish you for having a lot going on!Just remember to take it easy．

Dear Alice，
Thank you for your letter!I'd like to tell you about my plan for the trip after the final exams．With summer approaching，the weather will become irritating．My old sister suggested going to Hainan by air after the final exams for a good relax．I thought about it for a while and agreed．Hainan is really a good place，where palm trees are abundant．
On the first day we will walk on the beach where we can enjoy cool palm drinks．On the second day，we will go to Wuzhizhou Island where the sea is clean and it is the best place to go diving．On The third day，we went to the Yanuoda Rain Forest．
If everything goes well，I'm sure we'll have a good time．
Yours，
Li Hua．
8．Many of us have had this annoying experience：You are waiting for the bus at a bus station when someone nearby begins to puff on a cigarette．You frown and move．It seems that there isn't much you can do about it．
A new draft（草案） regulation on tobacco control was published by the State Council on its official website to ask for public opinions，which will offer people protection from second-hand smoking．According to the bill，smoking in indoor public places and outdoor  spaces is banned．All forms of tobacco advertising，along with smoking scenes in films and TV shows，are also not allowed．
"It is the first time China has considered state-level legislation（立法） on tobacco control，which shows the country's great determination on the issue．"Yang Gonghuan，deputy head of Chinese Association on Tobacco Control，told Xinhua．
To discourage people from smoking，cities including Shanghai，Hangzhou and Guangzhou have launched local smoking bans．Beijing is the latest one to take action．It passed anti-smoking regulations on Nov 28，banning smoking in open-air spaces such as kindergartens，schools，and hospitals．Teachers are forbidden to smoke in front of students in primary and secondary schools．The rules will take effect on June l，2015．People who break the rules will be fined up t0 200yuan．Managers and operators will be responsible for carrying them out in public places．
China is not the only nation to fight smoking．In March 2004lreland became the first country to introduce a ban on smoking in workplaces and public areas，with fines of up to 3，000euros （23，000yuan） for those who break the law．Many other countries，such as the UK and the US，then followed．

9．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，you are communicating quite fluently，but：Listening is STILL a problem!First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible．The first step is to find listening resources．The Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated （懊恼） by limited understanding．What should you do？
Here is some of the advice I give my students：
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand-even if you continue not to understand for a long time．
●Do not translate what you hear into your native language．
●Listen for the general idea of the conversation．Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas．
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany．In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually resulted in confusion．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two very important facts．Firstly，translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．By remaining calm，I noticed that-even if I didn't pay much attention，I could usually understand what the speaker had said．
55．The best way to improve our listening is toB．
A．practise as much as possible
B．find as many listening resources as possible
C．use the Internet like a radio station
D．speak naturally and read as much as possible
56．Which of the following is a good habit when listening？B
A．Try to understand everything．
B．Try to get the main ideas．
C．Pay much attention to details．
D．Translate each word in your mind．
57．Why did the writer mention his/her experience in Germany？C
A．To prove the importance of translating．
B．To show the problems of speaking a foreign language．
C．To tell us the importance of staying calm．
D．To point out an ineffective method of listening．
58．The underlined part"a wall"in the last paragraph refers to"A"．
A．a communication barrier （障碍）          
B．culture shock
C．language understanding 
D．a little misunderstanding．
