5．Goodbye to teeth
This all started a few months ago，when I had a dull pain in the back of my mouth，around where one of my wisdom teeth was supposed to be coming in．I thought it was a pain that I could live with for a while．
However，during the next few weeks，the pain became more intense，spreading to my teeth，gums and jaw．I was told I had seven wisdom teeth．
Yes，you read that correctly，seven-three more than a normal person．My first reaction when
I heard was to laugh．It's just my luck．My mouth wanted to do more work than it had to．
Focusing on the positive，one of the great things about having extra teeth is watching people's reactions when they find out．So far，I haven't grown tired of repeating myself．
The extra teeth are also a good excuse for me being tongue-tied．I can now blame it on my overcrowded mouth rather than my slow brain．
Of course，with wisdom teeth come the intellect jokes．My parents say my intelligence comes from my extra teeth and not my hard work．My friends agree that once the teeth are pulled，my brain will be that of a 5-year-old．
I've also thought about how I might profit from this．If only I still believed in the tooth fairy，I could make a lot of cash．Maybe I could sell my extras to someone in need．Advertisement：Seven teeth for sale，unused，in almost perfect condition．
Don't be fooled by my jokes．I am worried about having surgery．I'm also going to be sad to see the Lucky Seven go．I've developed quite an attachment to them over the past two days．Once they're removed，I'll just be normal again，and who wants that？

24．When the author found that she had three more wisdom teeth than a normal person，sheA．
A．found it quite funny
B．dealt with the pain calmly
C．was confused and anxious
D．kept it secret from others
25．The intellect jokes from the author's family and friends were intended toC．
A．persuade the author not to remove her wisdom teeth
B．advise the author to work hard to improve her intelligence
C．make fun of the author in a light-hearted way
D．let the author know why she is often tongue-tied
26．When the author came up with the idea of tooth fairy，sheD．
A．believed that her wisdom teeth would grow back
B．thought she could rely on it to make a living
C．had already made up her mind to make money
D．was deeply aware that the idea couldn't become reality
27．What's the article mainly about？B
A．People's different reactions to the author's wisdom teeth
B．How the author has gotten on with her extra wisdom teeth
C．The author's ideas for making use of her wisdom teeth
D．How the author has decided to remove her wisdom teeth．

Not everyone agrees on that bad habits are. Some smokers aren’t think smoking is a bad habit. Young people don’t think listen to loud music on the train is also a bad habit.

Have you ever tried to get rid your bad habits? I have quit smoking or have stopped leaving thing lying around the house. I hoped other people will stop their bad habits. I get annoying when people are late for meetings or talk loudly on their phones in the public. I also think much motorists need to think about their driving habits. Perhaps I should point out their bad habits.

A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.

“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.” Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised.”

Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, “I know his name. I call him Dad.”

1.The passengers were ______ to see the conductor's kindness to the woman and the child.

A. excited B. pleased C. interested D. surprised

2.One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to ______.

The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

Diet Coke ,diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet…We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

The danger of diet products lees not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products my not be nutritional,and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

1.From Paragraph 1, we learn that__________.

A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential

B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products

C. diet products are misleading people

D. people are fed up with diet products

2.One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to______.

A. try out a variety of diet foods

B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C. pay attention to their own eating habits

D. watch their weight rather than their diet

3.In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means________.

A. losing weight is effortless

B. it costs a lot to lose weight

C. diet products bring no pain

D. diet products are free from calories

4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage ?

A. B.

C. D.

To show our love for poor kids lived in mountainous areas，our school hold a special activity last week in our school square．Its purpose was to making sure those poor kids have a warm winter．All the teachers and students in our school took an actively part in this activity．We gave away 478pieces of clothes and 256pairs of shoe altogether．After be sorted，they will be sent to those in the need．I believe what they did will make a great difference to those poor kids．Although we all learn to care for others，the world will be more comfortable to live．
15．November is Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症）Awareness Month in the United States．Alzheimer's is a frightening disease，not only for those who suffer from memory loss，but also for their loved ones．But researchers in California say a new way of treating the disease is showing promise for reversing some of that memory loss．The new treatment combines western medicine with eastern philosophy-ideas rooted in Asian religions．
Dr．Dale Bredesen is with the Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research at UCLA．He says nine of ten patients suffering from Alzheimer's noted improvements in their memory．He says the traditional use of only one treatment just did not work with many patients．The new therapy（疗法）treats the whole patient，not just parts of the patient．"They have either taken a single drug to try with Alzheimer's，which has been a failure repeatedly，or they have tried without any background，simply saying，‘Okay，try exercise，try changing your diet，'these sorts of things，and there has not been any way to understand how these things contribute to the disease．"
According to Dr．Bredesen，there is a constant balance of the brain remembering and forgetting．Many things，including a person's lifestyle，can create an imbalance in brain activity，which can lead to memory loss．Dr．Bredesen creates an individualized treatment for each patient．He does this by taking images of their brain，testing their blood and asking many questions about their daily life．During the treatments，subjects were told to eat more fish，avoid carbohydrates and processed foods，and take vitamin B12，D3and fish oil．They also practiced yoga（瑜伽），sat quietly for 20minutes twice each day and slept more．
Dr．Bredesen describes this new therapy as combining western understanding of the human body with the eastern method of looking at the whole patient．For the nine patients whose memory improved，it usually happened within three to six months．The 10th patient was too far along in the disease for any improvement to be observed．
The UCLA center is now working with 30additional patients as it moves to expand its research．The researchers say they followed some patients up to two and a half years and the memory improvements remained．

71．The underlined word"reversing"in the second paragraph probably meansA．
A．recovering
B．repeating
C．reviewing
D．replacing
72．According to Dr．Bredesen，the problem of the traditional treatment lies in thatD．
A．the patients take only a single drug
B．the patients are not given a healthy diet
C．the patients are required to exercise too much
D．doctors lack overall understanding of the patients
73．In Dr．Bredesen's new treatment，B．
A．the doctors ask the patients to believe in Asian religions
B．the doctors pay more attention to the patient's lifestyle
C．the patients are forbidden from eating meat or bread
D．the patients have to sit quietly and sleep during the day
74．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．how lifestyle changes help treat Alzheimer's patients
B．the effects of eastern philosophy on Alzheimer's patients
C．the background of Alzheimer's Awareness Month in the United States
D．combining western medicine with eastern philosophy to treat Alzheimer's
75．Which of the following shows the structure of the article？B
a．the good effects of the new treatment and its further research

12．ottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty．Bottled water is all over the world．But some say the planet's health，and people's health may be suffering from it．
The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true．The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said，"There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle，it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap．"Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is"really just tap water in a bottle-sometimes more clean，sometimes not．"
It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water．Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said，"The high mineral content（含量） of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children．"Also，most bottled water doesn't have fluoride（氟化物），which can make teeth stronger．Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water，and some say that's behind the recent rise in bad teeth．
Storing is another problem．Placed near heat，the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals（化学物质） into the water．
According to the Environmental Protection Agency，some 2.7million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year．The plastic can take between 400and 1，000years to break down．
In terms of energy use，plastic bottles are also not cheap．One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles，they would have saved about 72million gallons of gas．
So，if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth，you can take the following steps．
●Drink from your tap．Unless your government warns against this，it should be fine．
●Get a container（容器）．Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container，and clean it between uses．
●Keep it cool．Don't drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun，don't store it near chemicals，and don't reuse plastic bottles．
●Choose glass containers over plastic if possible．When finished，recycle!

67．What is the main idea of the article？D
A．Drinking tap water is the only choice for people．
B．Glass containers are better than plastic bottles．
C．Plastic bottles are harmful to the environment．
D．Bottled water may not be as good as we think．
68．What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article？C
A．They break down in less than 300years．
B．They can be used for many other things．
C．They are a risk to the environment．
D．They are cheap to make．

A．no problem for the environment

C．It may be better for your teeth．
D．It may contain fluoride．
13．Due to rising pollution and a strengthening yuan，Beijing saw its tourist numbers drop to 4.20million visits from January to November in 2013from 5.01million visits in 2012．
