7.One morning,I stepped out of bed and put my feet on the floor.Suddenly,a mean little man jumped out from under the bed and stabbed (刺,扎) an ice pick (碎冰锥) through my left foot.
Figuratively (比喻地) speaking,yes.
I took another step and he stabbed it again.This went on all day.Step,stab,scream.Over the next few days,I started limping (跛行).My whole body hurt.Even my hair.I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else.We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt.
My brother deals with pain every day.He's also blind and suffers from cerebral palsy (脑瘫),needs a walker to walk,doesn't take much for granted.I had to wonder:What would he think about my foot?
Finally,after a week of pain,I went to see a very nice foot doctor.The doctor studied my foot,took X-rays,shook his head,and said the little man's name:Arthur Itis,or Arthritis (关节炎).
I knew it well.I'd often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents,all attacked by Arthur's ice pick when they got older.
"Wait,"I said."Doesn't Arthur usually just pick on old people?"
The doctor smiled,looking at my chart."How old are you?"
I gave him a look."Never mind,"I said."Can you fix it?"
"Well,"he said,"we can try."
He listed several options and I chose the injection (打针).It didn't hurt much.Not half as much as the ice pick.
That was yesterday.This morning,I awoke,took a few careful steps and …hallelujah!It hurt just a bit,but no ice pick.I looked under the bed.No sign of Arthur.Maybe he was hiding in the closet,waiting for another day.But for now,he was gone,and I was grateful.My mind began to race with plans to do all the things I'd been putting off for days:unpack,clean the house,wash my hair …
Then it hit me.Another stab.Not in my foot.In my heart.I remembered that I hadn't called my brother in a long time.
It's easy to take some things for granted.But it should never be the people we love.
48.Why didn't the author go to see the doctor for the first week?C
A.Because she was afraid that her brother would laugh at her.
B.Because she thought it was too cold to step out of her room.
C.Because she expected that the pain would gradually disappear.
D.Because she believed that she could endure the pain like her brother did.
49.Who had a disease that was different from the other people mentioned?B
A.The author.
B.The author's brother.
C.The author's parents.
D.The author's grandparents.

C.we should always remember to show our love to those we love
D.we should never take for granted the pain we experience in life.
4.The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment.Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota.In the study,he examined information from 100nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health.Mr.Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized(工业化),population increased and earnings rose.More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar,fat,oil and meat.By eating these foods,people began to get fatter and sicker.
"The food,let us say,in the 15 richest nations of the world,right now contains about 400or 500extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need,and that leads people to gain weight."
David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes,heart disease and some cancers.Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe.Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations.Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these same health problems.
A diet bad for human beings,it seems,is also bad for the environment.As the world's population grows,experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle.These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.
Mr.Tilman calls the link between diet,the environment and human health,"a dilemma",a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

53.Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?A.
A.They ate foods high in calories.
B.They adopted a western lifestyle.
C.They set aside little time for exercise.
D.They had a better life and became lazier.
54.According to the text,overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPTB.
A.diabetes
B.skin disease
C.cancers
D.heart disease
55.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?B.
A.To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.
B.To call on people to give up the Western diet.
C.To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.
D.To draw people's attention to environmental protection.
2.New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue,you may also be seeing it differently.A blue mood may be more than just a figure of speech.Your mood may also affect how you see the world around you,according to a new study.A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
  The team,led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester,found that people in whom they had induced a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis(轴线),compared to people who weren't feeling sad.
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena,like mood.even when these concepts seem unrelated,"Thorstenson said in a statement."We thought that maybe a reason these metaphors emerge was because there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way."
  Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition.In 2010,Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression.This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Faro et al of the University of Singapore.
  The team conducted two studies.In the first,127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips,which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness (a cartoon clip) or amusement (a stand-up comedy routine).They didn't do that in a specific order.
  The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color swatches.The group that had been shown the cartoon clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis,although no difference was found along the red-green axis.
  For the second study,130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral one.The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.Again,there was no difference along the red-green axis.
  Because of this lack of difference along the red-green axis,the researchers say the difference in ability cannot be explained by lack of effort,or focus.If the subjects were badly focused,they would have performed equally badly along both color axes.
