9.When couples get m arried,they usually plan to have childr en.Sometimes,however,a couple can not have a child of their own.In this case,they may decide to adopt a child.In fact,adoption is very common today.There are about 60 thousand adoptions each year in the United States alone.Some people prefer to adopt infants,others adopt older children,some couples adopt children from their own countries,and others adopt children from foreign countries.In any case,they all adopt children for the same reason---they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life.
  Most adopted children know that they are adopted.Psychologists and child-care experts generally think this is a good idea.However,many adopted children,or adoptees,have very little information about their biological parents.As a matter of fact,it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed.The information is secret so no one can see it.Naturally,adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents.Many adoptees want to search for them,but others do not.The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make.Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents.Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents,they do know that their adopted parents want them,love them and will care for them.

3.Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive.When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can create a false impression.For example,someone might say,"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery.It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner,right?Maybe,or maybe not.We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets,and only one was winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false,but he omitted important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents runs an advertisement,saying"During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!"That's true.However an honest statement would have been,"During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might boast,"Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(粉刺)."It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

49.Which statement is true according to the article?B
A.Whenever people tell the truth,they may lie
B.The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
C.All governors help their states.
D.You cannot trust lottery agent.
50.The author clearly wants peopleD.
A.not to trust any politician
B.to vote for female candidates
C.not to believe advertisements of any kind
D.to think carefully about what they read and hear
51.Governor Smith's opponents wantedA.
A.to beat her in the campaign
B.to make her a liar
C.to get jobs in the government
D.to detect her lie.
10.Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise.Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised,the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up.The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area.Of course,if you reduce the fat throughout your body,you will certainly see results around your waist too.
Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.However,studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly.Within 48to 72hours,you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects.And what does that mean to you?American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful,exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.
Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance?The answer is no.The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile,since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance.The speed does not matter.Of course,if you run rather than walk for 30minutes,you will cover more distance,and therefore burn more calories.
If your breathing doesn't return to normal within 5minutes after you finish exercising,you have exercised too much.Five minutes or so after exercising,your breathing should be normal,your heart shouldn't be beating loudly,and you shouldn't be tired.

21.If you want to reduce the fat around your waist,you shouldC.
A.do stomach exercise                      
B.exercise the waist
C.exercise all the muscles of your body        
D.run fast for 30minutes
22.From the second paragraph,we learn thatD.
A.we only need to exercise twice a week
B.we should exercise three times a week
C.muscles lose their strength after 48hours
D.we should exercise every other day,or three days a week
23.It can be inferred from the third paragraph thatD.
A.you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hour
B.whether you run one mile or walk the same distance,you use the same amount of energy
C.you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distance
D.both A and B
24.If you have exercised too much,A.
A.your breathing will take longer than 5minutes to return to normal after you finish exercising
B.your breathing will return to normal within 5minutes after finishing exercising
C.your heart will not be beating loudly
D.you will be too tired to move
25.This passage tells us thatC.
A.it is better to do more running than walking
B.the more exercise you do,the healthier you will be
C.the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hours
D.in order to lose weight,you have to run fast.
7.Do you like listening to English songs to learn the language?Some students don't believe doing so can help them learn English.I have to say they think wrongly.Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better.You may ask how.Just read on.
Lyrics are not easily forgotten.You listen to them over and over again throughout your life.Once you learn them,they are going to stay with you,and you are going to review them repeatedly because you enjoy them.If you learn just one song per week for a year,those are 52songs full of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget.
Songs give you perfect pronunciation models.As you learn to sing them,you are practicing your pronunciation,you are imitating native speakers,and you are learning how to speak better.The rhythm naturally leads to better pronunciation,better intonation(声调),and more fluency.
When you start paying attention to the lyrics,your listening skills naturally improve.Once you learn a few songs,you'll start gathering a lot of songs and vocabulary.A larger vocabulary usually means better listening comprehension.Just the fact that you start caring about the lyrics will activate your listening skills and listening to music in English will become an enjoyable learning exercise.
Another huge   merit  is that you get to practice your grammar.Some of the most intelligent grammar questions my students bring to me come from songs.You can probably even map the entire language into pop songs and greatly improve your grammar by learning the lyrics to your favorite songs.
Now we can conclude that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well.So listen to more English songs in your free time.You can put the lyrics on your ipod or iphone and read them as you listen.Believe me,and you'll benefit a lot.
