题目内容

Summer time is a great opportunity for kids to learn how to work and earn a little bit of spending money. If your child needs a summer job, here are a few options to consider:

Lemonade/Cookie Stand

Benefits

Creates a concept of running a business: Your child will be his own boss, set his own price , and run the show. It’s a great introduction to running his own business.

Limited Start-Up Costs: The things used to make lemonade are cheap, so your child should be able to get back his investment with a handful of sales.

What Kids Learn About Money: Your child will learn a very valuable lesson about pricing. The price of his lemonade will decide how much he can sell, if he will recover his investment and the amount of profit.

Yard Work

Benefits:

Repeated Customers: If a homeowner needs help raking (耙地) this year, he’ll probably want help again next year. Your child should be able to maintain a regular set of customers after one season.

Safety: Yard work is generally safer than a lawn-mowing job. Without having to operate machines, your child will be much safer.

What Kids Learn About Money: Because of the variability (变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.

Lifeguard

Benefits:

Responsibility: Kids learn a lot about responsibility when lifeguarding. They are within rights to tell whether a certain activity is safe and are allowed to take action as they see fit.

Exercise: Lifeguards need to be proficient at swimming and must exercise to stay in shape.

What Kids Learn About Money: To be a lifeguard, one must be certified. Your child may have to pay for lifeguard training, although some employers provide it on-site.

Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head !” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.

The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.

Health experts predict there will be not only physical（身体的）but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.

1.What is Mehzabin worried about?

A. Her son has no table manners.

B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.

C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.

D. Her son spends much money on games.

2.What do we know about the chronic pain?

A. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.

B. Adults don’t have the problem.

C. It is caused by the wrong body position

D. Children with it often have other diseases.

3.According to health experts, _______.

A. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising

B. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain

C. people should stop using smart phones

D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one’s mental health

4. What may be the best title for the text?

Nowadays, it is very easily to find a student who is nearsighted. What’s worse, the number of nearsighted students are still increasing. From my point of view, there are many reason that can cause nearsightedness. First of all, the wrong posture will result from nearsightedness. Read in the dark places can lead to nearsightedness as well as. Moreover, too much reading without a rest can be other important reason. My dear friends, it is high time that we paid attention to protect our eyes. The most useful method is do eye exercises more often and relax for a while after reading. Watching green trees could also do good to the eyes.

Children in the United States eat too much pizza that some researchers now argue the food should join the ranks of sugary drinks and fast food for the harm they do to health．

In a new study, the researchers found that pizza is a large source of calories, saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and salt in children’s diets．Children should not eat more than two slices of pizza for a meal，and should pair that with salad, rather than with another high-calorie food，the researchers concluded．

“Parents should aim to control pizza consumption(消费), particularly as a snack where it was shown to have a very adverse impact on children, and they should put their pizza dollars toward healthier brands．”Said Lisa Powel, director of the Illinois Prevention Research Center．

Pizza has become a matter of focus in recent years for researchers who look at the meals children eat, rather than the nutrients within them．Studies have found pizza is among the greatest sources of calories for children．

“Since pizza remains a common part of children’s diet, we need to make ‘healthy’ pizza．”Powel said．To make pizza healthier, food producers should reduce its saturated fat and salt, and increase its whole grain content,” she said．

Whether or not pizza is harmful enough to be picked out as an unhealthy food, the study attracts attention to a larger issue with the modern American lifestyle, said Alexis Tindall, who was not involved in the flow research. “Many foods are eaten too frequently and in large sizes,” said Tindall．To solve the problem, people don’t have to give up eating pizza, but instead, they can eat smaller and healthier pizza，”she said．

“Make it at home, instead of ordering it out where you don’t have any control over how it’s made.” Tindall said. “When we make it at home, we can choose healthier ingredients，increase the vegetables, reduce fat, and put in less cheese．Pizza doesn’t have to be just pepperoni(意大利辣香肠)and cheese．”

1.According to the research, children shouldn’t eat ．

A．more than two slices of pizza in a day

B．two slices of pizza for a meal

C．pizza along with salad

D．more pizza with French fries

2.Powel suggests healthier pizza should be made ．

A．with more ingredients B．with less salt

C．in smaller sizes D．at home

3.The last sentence of the passage implies that pepperoni and cheese ．

A．are necessary ingredients of pizza

B．are not the only healthy ingredients of pizza

C．should all be replaced with healthier ingredient．

D．should be reduced by adding healthier ingredients．

4.What is the best title for the passage?

If you’re looking for a fairly painless way to lose weight, researchers at Brigham Young University have a new solution for you: Put yourself on a regular sleep schedule. People who keep a regular sleep routine have a lower body fat than those who keep irregular sleep hours, says a new study.

Led by Bruce Bailey, professor of exercise science, researchers followed 300 female college students aged 19 to 26, who were given activity trackers（跟踪器）to watch their movements and activities, including waking and sleeping times . Researchers also measured their body composition (成分)before and after the one-week study period.

What the researchers found:

Body fat varied with sleep quantity. Women who slept between 8 and 8.5 hours a night had the lowest body fat. While those who slept less than 7 hours or over 9 hours had higher body fat.

High quality sleep was associated with lower body fat while poor sleep was connected with higher body fat.

Waking and going to sleep at the same time every day was most strongly linked with lower body fat.

The difference in body weight was greater with more variation（变化）in sleep pattern. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 90 minutes a night had higher body fat than those whose sleep patterns varied by 60 minutes or less on average.

The study followed up on a body of research conducted over the last few years that ties quality and quantity of sleep to weight loss and better weight control. While researchers don’t know exactly how sleep schedules affect body weight and fat, other studies have shown that sleep has an effect on physical activity, appetite（胃口）, and the hormones（荷尔蒙）that control metabolism（新陈代谢）, and the signals that tell us we’re full.

1.Which of the following about the study led by Bruce Bailey is true?

A. The participants included both females and males.

B. The participants’ activities were monitored through trackers.

C. The participants’ body composition were measured only after the study.

D. The study was controlled by researchers during a long period time.

2.Who may have the lowest body fat according to the study?

A. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 90 times a night.

B. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 60 times a night.

C. Women who sleep no more than 7 hours a night.

D. Women who get 8 to 8.5 hours of sleep a night.

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.

A. It’s the first research to study better weight control.

B. Many people know exactly how sleep affects body fat.

C. Sleep can affect people at least in three ways.

D. Sleep can give signals to tell people they are full.

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Several factors that affects the sleep quality.

B. Some ways to help you lose weight efficiently.

C. The importance of having a regular sleep routine.

D. A study on the relationship between sleep and body weight.

His ____ of life has changed a lot since the experience he had in Africa three years ago.

A. sight B. attitude C. view D. altitude

Dear Jeremy and Alice,

Although we’ve been delighted to have you as neighbors, we’re hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog --- Cleo.

We’ve called several time about Cleo’s early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she’s outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o’clock. That is too much for us, considering how closely our houses are.

We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.

Sincerely,
