题目内容

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago,we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each dav.we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It 1s the same in history.Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country.but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write.For example,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago,because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa,because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes,of coures,even if the people cannot write,they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people,and often songs, dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung,acted and told for many generations,for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call”remembered history”.Some of it had been written down. If is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history,is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records,such spoken stories are often very helpful.

Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

A.“Remembered history”,compared with written history.is 1ess reliable.

B. Written records of the past play a most important role in our learning the human history.

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened in the past.

D.Where there are no written records of the past.there is no history.

Why do we know little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago?

A.There was nothing worth being written down at that time.

B.People there had not known how to write in those days.

C.The written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire.

D.People there ignored the importance of keeping a record.

”Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when      .

A.it is written down       B.it proves to be true

C.no written account is available  D.people are interested in it

It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had    .

A.kept a written record of every past event

B.not burnt their written records in wars

C.told exact stories of the most important happenings

D.made more songs and dances

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) ,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.

Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.

Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.

If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.
