16.In the United States,30percent of the grown-up population has a"weight"problem.To many people,the cause is clear:they eat too much.But scientific experiments do little to support this idea.Going back to the American of 1910,we find that people were thinner than today,yet they are more food.In those days people worked harder physically,walked more,used machines much less,and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies,besides,have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people.In fact,some research work,such as 1970study of 3,545London office workers,reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average.
Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people.A study by the research group of School of Medicine at Stanford University found the following interesting facts.The more a man ran,the greater body fat he lost.The more he ran,the greater he needed for food.Thus,those who ran the most ate the most,yet lost the greater amount of body fat.

61.What kind of physical problem do many grown-up American have?C
A.They are too thin.                B.They work too hard.
C.They are too fat                   D.They lose too much body fat.
62.What has modern medical and scientific research reported to us?A
A.Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B.Fat people eat more food and are more active.
C.Fat people eat more food but lose greater amount of body fat.
D.Thin people run less,but eat more food.
63.Based on the number given in the article,if there are 500adult Americans,how many of them will have weight problem?D
A.30                B.50               C.100                D.150.

12.There are thousands of products (商品) of all colors and shapes in a supermarket,making you believe that they are worth a try.How?Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.
There on the shelves,each bottle,can,box,and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer,because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life.Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the"quality"of the product and on how well it sells,because"consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package.Many products are packages and many packages are products.",as Louis Cheskin,the first social scientist studying consumers'feelings for packaging,noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging.Studies of eye movement have shown that colours draw human attention quickly.Take V8for example.For many years,the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body.And the word"green"today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction.Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness,because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart.That's why the round yellow M signs of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people by to satisfy both body and soul.

7.Do you have a habit of writing things down?Making time to write down certain things,such as our daily experiences,our goals,and our thoughts can change the way we live our lives.Here are 4ways that tell you writing things down can change your life.
(1)It clears your mind for higher-level thinking.
You can clear your mind by writing things down in two different ways:writing to-do lists and writing morning pages.David Allen,the author of Getting Things Done suggests writing down every task,activity and project you need to pay attention to.Writing down every"to-do"item that you can think of clears space in your head for more important topics.You can also write"morning pages",which was pioneered by Julia Cameron,author of The Artist's Way.Morning pages involves(牵涉)what's important in your mind.Through doing this first thing each morning,you clear your head in preparation for the day's most important thinking.
(2)It gives you a record of the past.
If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings,you'll soon have a record of your experiences.Keeping a diary is sometimes like talking a situation through with a friend.Reading back through this record also provides a valuable record about your past thought and feelings.You can recall some special moments or special events that you could have forgotten.Many people have dreams of writing a book.When you keep writing down things,you'll realize that you have written a book.
(3)You have a sense of achievement.
Writing things down can help you get a sense of achievement and can also raise your levels of self-trust.When you look back to see how successfully you've gone through and dealt with important decisions and difficult situations in the past,you'll have a sense of achievement and feel more confident in your ability to achieve your goals.Equally,if we write down everything we need to do in a special day or week,we have a sense of satisfaction (满足) when,having completed the task,we can cross the item off our list.
(4)It helps you think big.
Writing things down gives you space to think big and aim high.When we write things down,we enter a world of possibility and have a chance to make further plans.Writing our goals and dreams down makes it more likely that we'll achieve them one day.Writing down our goals is therefore the first step towards making them a reality.

66.Julia Cameron may most probably agree thatA.
A.writing down what's important every morning can clear your head
B.people must read morning pages in an artist way every morning
C.what David Allen said in his book is less helpful for clearing your head
D.writing to-do lists is all you need to do before work starts each day
67.By keeping a diary,you canB.
A.talk a situation through with a friend
B.keep a record of the past experiences
C.forget your past life experiences
D.ignore special events and moments
68.We have a sense of satisfaction when a task has been completed in a(an)C.
A.activity
B.project
C.to-do list
D.game

A.writing things down can change our life
B.we need to think big and aim high
C.people need to record the past events
D.it's important to clear our mind.
4.Do you want to have a close friend?Do you know how to make a good friend?Now,let me tell you.Before you make friends,you have to decide who you want to be your friends.Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile.When you smile,people think you are friendly and easy to talk to.It may not be easy at first to smile,but remember most people will stay away from a  scared or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him.Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves.Who's their favorite singer,where do they live,what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation.Make sure you have something to add to the conversation,too.When someone asks you a question,do have an answer for them.There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends.Remember,everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

11.The practice of exchanging foreign currency can vary by country.In one country,you may have to change your money at the airport,and in other countries you may need to buy your foreign currency in advance.Here are some places you can exchange foreign currency for U.S.currency.
Your Bank
In many cases you can purchase U.S.currency for your trip from a bank.Banks tend to have higher exchange rates than some currency exchange businesses.Before you purchase currency from a bank,check the currency change rates for that day so you can compare the rate the bank is giving and determine if it's a good offer.There is a fee involved in withdrawing foreign currency from your bank.
The Airport
Currency exchange businesses can be found at most international airports,so you can purchase U.S.currency either before you board your flight or at the U.S.airport on arrival.Note that U.S.airports typically have fewer currency exchange counters than travelers are accustomed to seeing in other parts of the world.If the airport you are flying into is not in a major U.S.city,consider using the exchange service in your departure airport to be on the safe side.If you are in an airport where several exchange companies operate,be sure to shop around for the best rate and lowest exchange fee.

56.The practice of exchanging foreign currencyC.
A.changes with time of the year
B.depends on exchange rates of the day
C.is likely to differ from country to country

A.If you are flying with a foreign airline.
B.If the airport is far from the city center.
C.If the airport you are flying into is not safe.
D.If you are not flying into a major US city.

1.American children aren't the only couch potatoes.According to a study of over 70,000teens in 34nations,nearly 1/3of children globally spend three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers.From Argentina to Zambia,Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country."With regard to physical activity levels,we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries,"Guthold said."Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."The study,published in The Journal of Pediatrics,looked at 72,845schoolchildren aged 13to 15from North an South America,Asia,Europe,and the Middle East.The children were surveyed between 2003and 2007.
The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV,playing computer games,or chatting with friends----except from time in school or time spent doing homework---were classified as sedentary (久坐的).The researchers found only 1/4of the boys and 15% of girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions.1/4of boys and approximately 30% of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country except from Zambia.While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations,it is believed that urbanization(城市化) could be a factor as well as to cars and TVs.

61.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.A study about kids lacking physical activity.
B.Why most kids are couch potatoes.

B.Boys get less physical exercise than girls.
C.Children in rich countries enjoy better sports facilities
D.Most children are lack of physical exercise.

5.Can you believe your eyes?A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.
   Martin Doherty,a psychologist at the University of Stifling in Scotland,led the team of scientists.In this experiment,Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people,using pictures of some orange circles.The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people.The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10,and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.
   The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background.One of the circles was larger than the other,and these people were asked to identify the larger one.Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time.Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.
   Next,both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles,again of different sizes,were surrounded by gray circles.Here's where the trick lies in.In some of the pictures,the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles--making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle,which was the real larger one.And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles--so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.
   When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures,they weren't fooled-they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before.Older children and adults,on the other hand,did not do as well.Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one,and adults got it wrong most of the time.
   As children get older,Doherty said,their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context(背景).In other words,they will begin to process the whole picture at once:the tricky gray circles,as well as the orange circle in the middle.As a result,they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.
71.Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate.D
A.children's and adults'brains           
B.children's and adults'eye-sight
C.the influence of people's age         
D.people's ability to see accurately
72.When asked to find the larger circle,.C
A.adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
B.children at 6 got it wrong 79%of the time with no gray ones around
C.children at 4 got it right about 79%of the time with gray ones around
D.only adults over 1 8 got it right 95%of the time with gray ones around
73.According to the passage,we can know that.A
A.a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
B.an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C.a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
D.a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background
74.Visual context may work when children get older than.B
A.4               B.6               C.10              D.18
75.Why are younger children not fooled?D
A.Because older people are influenced by their experience.
B.Because they are smarter than older children and adults.
C.Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.
D.Because their brains can hardly notice related things together.
6.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live,we must communicate with other people.A great deal of(50)Ais performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple(51)Dof speech.If we travel in buses,buy things in shops,or eat in restaurants,we are likely to have(52)Awhere we give information or opinions,receive news or comment,and very(53)Bhave our views challenged by other members of society.
