All through dinner she was on her phone,send messages and chatting online. We were both there having a conversation,but she was in her own little world. It was quite strange and annoyed.

     Sitting for long periods of time can cause so many negative health effects as smoking. Here is some simple ways sit less that you can try. First,choosing a task that involves standing,that can help you sit less during the day. Second,eat one meal the day while standing. Standing while eating doesn’ t mean you have to eat quickly or make poorly food choices. You can still enjoy a meal while on your foot just as well as in a chair. Finally,push your chair to the side of your desk each night. Your chair’s usual position can remind you to stand for a bit of longer in the morning.

   When I asked my mom why I was so short when I was 7 years old,she explained that I have a medical condition called dwarfism(侏儒症) .

   At first,I was very sad. I wanted to be tall,mainly because of the way people reacted to me. Kids would say mean stuff,like's weird how you' re so short.w In elementary school,whenever classmates would bully(欺侮) me,I'd run away and cry.

   Life outside school can also be tough. At the local amusement park,I' m not tall enough to go on all the rides,so sometimes I have to sit on the sidelines while my friends have fun.

   I'm now in the seventh grade,and I'm four feet two inches tall. And you know what? It doesn't matter!My height no longer bothers me like it did when I was little. I met a girl at school named Nevaeh,who is my best friend,and she has helped me realize that it's not what's on the outside that matters — it's what's on the inside.

   Nevaeh doesn't even mention my height when we hang out. In fact,if people tease us about being short (she's only six inches taller than I am) ，we’ 11 make jokes,like, “We’ re not short. We’ re fim-sized!” I refuse to let unkind people get me down. I'd rather turn something cruel into something funny,laugh it off,and move on..

   One of my favorite things to do is prove people wrong. Take basketball,for example. Since it's a sport associated with tall people,I was determined to play. And for almost two full seasons,I didn't make a single basket!But then,during a game last year,I stole the ball from a girl. I got to take two free throws. It was amazing. Everyone cheered. The experience made me realize that if I can score baskets,I can do anything.

   I'm not going to let my height get in the way of achieving my dreams.

   At the moment,I'm working in London.It's my first experience of 61. (live) in the capital city of the UK.

   Nobody likes feeling lonely,and isolation (孤立) isn’t only a psychological problem. Loneliness increases a person’s risk of death by 26 percent,an effect comparable to the health risks posed by obesity.

   So some researchers are investigating what it is,exactly,that makes lonely people stay lonely. One long-held theory has been that people become socially isolated because of their poor social skills — as they spend more time alone,the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use. But new research suggests that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the socially isolated. It's just that when they’ re in situations where they need those skills the most,they choke.

   Professor Megan L. Knowles and her team tested the social skills of 86 undergraduates,showing them 24 faces oif a computer screen and asking them to name the basic human emotion each face was showing: anger,fear,happiness,or sadness. In the end,the lonelier students did worse than the non-lonely students on the emotion-reading task — but only when they were told they were being tested on their social skills. When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test,they performed better than the non-lonely.

   So the lonelier people are,the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice. Lonely people may be paying closer attention to emotional cues (暗示） precisely because of their willingness to belong somewhere and form interpersonal connections,which results in technically superior social skills.

   This presents a fairly new way to think about lonely people. It's not that they need to improve the basics of social skills,which they,ve likely already shared. Instead,lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads,so they can actually use the skills they’ve got to form friendships and begin to find a way out of their isolation.

29. According to the traditional point of view,why do lonely people stay lonely?

   A. They are happy to stay alone.

   B. They are difficult to get along with.

   C. They have few chances to practice social skills.

   D. They are likely to misunderstand others’ opinion.

30. In the test mentioned in Paragraph 3 ,the lonely performed better when they.

   A. felt not very lonely

   B. were under great pressure

   C. were told it was a test on social skills

   D. did not know the real purpose of the test

31. Compared to non-lonely people,lonely people.

   A. can better control their emotions

   B. can better express their emotions

   C. can better read people's emotions

   D. can better handle people’s emotions 

32. What inspiration may lonely people get from the text?

   A. Be brave to make friends.

   B. Show sincerity in friendship.

   G. Find ways to learn social skills.

   D. Make good use of your lonely time.

   Life skills,unfortunately,is an abstract and broad term for the abilities one would need for full participation in everyday life. So recently,I did a casual survey among my friends. I asked how they would determine whether an individual has,say,good social skills.

   One said the language of such individuals would be grammatically correct and they would express their ideas clearly. Another said good eye contact was important. Yet another added to the list the ability to get along with people,not to take things personally and the ability to help others.

   If most adults have difficulty defining the positive behaviours that are necessary to life skills,how do we know if students have acquired them the way I can describe on a report card?

   Marlaine Paulsen Cover,founder of Parenting 2.0,has done just that.

   Cover created a communication tool called the Life Skills Report Card (LSRC) . Similar in format to academic report cards,the LSRC divides life skills into five primary categories: personal care,organisation,respect for self and others,communication,and social. Sub-categories on the LSRC include: sleep,exercise,spirit'safety,time utilization,finances,ownership in problems and conflicts,altruism (无私) , and environmental consciousness.

   She found that societies around the globe routinely supported children's active learning for music,sports,and academics. When it came to life skills,however,the popular perspective (观念) was simply “children learn what they live”.

   “Yet when children are poor in certain life skills,society is quick to pass a whole person judgment,” Cover says.

   Life skills are necessary,because — to quote Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson — uto be what we are,and to become what we are capable of becoming,that is the only end of life”.

32. Why does the author raise the questions in Paragraph 1 ?

   A. To present different ideas.

   B. To expect reasonable answers.

   C. To express his disappointment.

   D. To introduce points for discussion.

33. How did the author feel about the result of the survey?

   A. It was practical. B. It was worrying.

   C. It was convincing. D. It was predictable.

34. What do we know about Cover's LSRC?

   A. It has been widely used at schools.

   B. It strongly emphasizes personal care.

   C. It aims to change people's ideas about life skills.

   D. It has something in common with academic report cards.

35. Cover''s words show that people tend to.

   A. ignore the importance of life skills

   B. encourage children's active learning

   C. compare academic skills with life skills

   D. look down upon children with poor life skills

   At first glance,why anyone would want to save California  condors(秃鹰) is not entirely clear. Unlike the closely related Andean condors with their white neck feathers,California condors are not much to see. Their dull black color,featherl'ess head and neck and oversized feet are hardly signs of beauty oi^ strength. Their appeal begins to become evident when they take flight. California condors can fly almost effortlessly for hours,often covering hundreds of miles a day 一 far more than other creatures of the air.

   When it was discovered that the condor population was becoming dangerously small,scientists and zookeepers sought to increase condor numbers quickly to preserve as much of the species’ geneic(基因的) diversity as possible. From studying wild condors,they already knew that if a pair lost an egg,the birds would often produce another. So the first and sometimes second eggs laid by e往ch female were removed,and artificially hatched. Such techniques quickly proved effective.

   Despite these successes,the effort to save California condors continues to have problems. Artificially hatched condors released(释放) to the wild have died at what to some people are alarmingly high rates. Others have had to be brought back again after they acted foolishly.

   Some of the odd behavior on the part of these re-released birds is hard to explain. At times they landed on people's houses,walked across roads and airport runways,walked into park visitor centers and fast food restaurants,and took food offered by picnickers and fishermen. None are known to have died by doing so,though. Most recently,some of the first chicks hatched in the wild died after their parents fed them bottle caps,pieces of plastic and other man-made objects.

   Mike Wallace,a wildlife specialist at the San Diego Zoo,has suggested that some of the condors’ problems represent natural behavior that helps them survive. The real key to successful condor reintroduction lies in properly socializing young condors as members of a group that follow and learn from older,preferably adult birds. That,he argues,was missing from earlier condor releases to the wild.

28. What is the California condor's most impressive feature?

   A. Its beautiful colors.

   B. Its remarkable flying ability.

   C. The large size of its neck and feet.

   D. The similarity it has to the Andean condor.

29. In the initial stage of the conservation programme, .

   A. eggs were taken from the nests of wild condors

   B. female condors were caught and studied carefully

   C. scientists and zookeepers tried to create genetic diversity

   D. condors were encouraged to produce a lot more eggs

30. What did some of the condors released into the wild do?.

   A. They adapted surprisingly quickly to their new surroundings.

   B. They showed a tendency to seek out human contact.

   C. They died from eating too much fast food.

   D. They kept changing their eating habits.

31. According to Mike Wallace,there will be fewer problems if .

   A. young condors are trained not to eat man-made objects

   B. the chicks are surrounded by older birds when they hatch

   G. the chicks are released into the wild as soon as they hatch

   D. young condors are taught appropriate behavior by adult birds

   “Come on,Izz. You can do it. Move those arms. Kick." My 7-year-old daughter was doing laps,and I wanted her to keep up with the other swimmers. She couldn’ t.

   Neither could she hear my frustration,because the swimming club would not allow parents on the desk(甲板) . Parents waited in a glass balcony overlooking the pool.

   When she came up to greet me,ready to be hugged,I lit into her. “Why didn't you try to finish the lap? How hard could it have been?”

   My daughter drew away from me. “You can't even swim,” she said.

   She was right. I couldn't swim.

   Her words stayed with me. I asked myself: What does it take to learn something new? Did it help when someone criticized me?

   I was pushing my daughter to do something I had never tried.

   Before next week's lesson arrived,I attended a swimming class for adults. When my daughter went to do laps,I went to the smaller pool at the other end of the club.

   Each week,Isabelle and I came up from our separate pools tired but happy. We shared what we had done,hugged,and went out for a treat.

   At the end of the eight-week course,I proudly showed her my first swimming badge(徽章) . “You can do laps with me now,” said my daughter.

   No,not yet. I had made it across the pool,but couldn't finish its length. My arms had felt like lead,and my legs like rubber.

   More important than the swimming badge,though,I had earned a “parenting badge." I had rediscovered the thrill and frustration of trying something new. My child was doing this every day — at the pool,at school,at home. Now,so was her mom.
