题目内容

【题目】Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.

Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.

E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.

The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps---and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.

With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address (述说) it to all the friends who you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.

1The purpose of this passage is to ______.

A. explain how to use the Internet

B. tell the merits (价值) and usefulness of the Internet

【题目】Easy Ways to Reach and Keep a Healthy Weight

Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy ones. Here are 5 ways to make that happen.

1.Exercises.

1 Walking the family dog, cycling to school and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercise to build muscles. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even when you aren't exercise.

2. 2

One reason people get less exercise these days is an increase in screen time-- the amount of time spent watching TV, surfing the Internet or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.

3. Watch out for sugary drinks.

One key factor in weight gain is that some people drink lots of sugary drinks, such as soda, juice drinks and sports drinks. 3

4. Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.

4 They're also packed with fiber, which means they can fill you up. And when you fill yourself up on fruit and vegetables, you are less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips and cookies.

5. 5

Breakfast can promote your metabolism(新陈代谢), burning calories and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip(跳过) breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they get more calories than they would have if they didn't eat breakfast.

A. Reduce screen time.

B. Don't skip breakfast.

C. So go for water or low-fat milk instead of sugary drinks.

D. Diets aren't the way to go when it comes to losing weight.

E. Fruit and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals..

F. Most dieters gain back all the lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits.

G. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscles, both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

【题目】1You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

◆Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating , sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

◆Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

◆Make good use of your time in class. 3 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

◆Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

◆Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

5You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

A. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

C. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

D. Maybe you are an average student.

E. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. This will help you understand the next class.
