题目内容

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

1.A good title for this reading passage is______.

A. The Truth about Spinach B. Popeye the Sailor

C. A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong

2.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A. They thought Popeye was funny.

B. They thought spinach made them strong.

The Internet can be a great way to connect with people.The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace.More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.

That cyberspace（网络空间）trend is causing problems in school,however.In a recent survey,nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts.Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?

Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully（恐吓）other students.One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.

Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers,and some have suspended（暂缓）students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers.Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes,according to the US Census Bureau.

It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant,“Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”

Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking.They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them.“Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,”Jim Hirsch said,“Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”

Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits.“Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,”explains Hirsch.

Today, we will talk about diet and weight loss. Exercise is important if you want to get in good shape. To have a perfect body, someone go to extremes to lose weight. 1.

In the weight loss industry, there is never a lack of ideas about how to lose weight. Consider the “Sleeping Beauty diet,” where you sleep your way to weight loss. You cannot eat if you are sleeping, or so the theory goes.

2. The tapeworm (绦虫) is said to help people lose weight by eating the food that is stored in their stomach. But first you have to be willing to eat the little worm. This may be more trouble than many people want.

Strange, new diets and exercise programs arrive on the market every day. 3. The weight loss industry takes in billions of dollars each year, and it is growing.

Experts say there is no single diet plan that works best for everyone. Many experts agree on one thing: you must use or burn off more calories than you take in to lose weight. When you eat more calories than your body needs, it stores that extra energy as fat.

4. A pound of fat is equal to about 453 grams or 3,500 calories. To lose that fat in a week, you have to burn off at least that amount in calories or eat that much less.

5. Eat fewer calories and increase physical activity so that you burn off more.

A. Then there is the tapeworm diet.

B. Calories are a measure of energy in food.

C. But no plan has come out as a clear winner.

D. The best thing to do is to combine both ideas.

E. These lead to a big industry — weight loss industry.

Once a man asked a painter to painting a picture for him. He told the artist he didn’t want to any shadows in the picture, just sunshine, but the artist did so. When the man saw the finished picture, he was disappointing. Without shadows, everything in the picture looks flat and unreal.

The point of the story is that we need both shadows and sunshine to have a completely picture, just as we need both rain and sun to have living world. People, too, needs both sadness and happiness. We often learn important lesson during sad times. So when we feel sad, we should try to stop and think about that we might learn from the experience.
