Long ago, in a far-away place, an old tribal chief found himself terminally ill. So he called three most promising young villagers to his bedside and said, “As I ____1.____(leave) you soon, I hope you can do one more thing for me. Young men, you three are all ____2.____(usual) strong and resourceful, so I’d like you to strive to climb that high mountain we have always been worshipping _____3._____ a sacred place. Try to reach the top and then turn back to tell me about your findings. 

Three days later, the first young man returned smartly dressed and said ___4.____(smile),

“Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop____5.____I saw flowers of all sorts, spring water and singing birds. That’s a real nice place.”

The old tribal chief replied with a smile, “Son, I’ve been there before. it's not the mountaintop ____6.____the foot of the mountain. You can leave now.”

A week later, the second young man also returned. “Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop ___7.___ a forest of tall pine trees and vultures circling in the air. That’s a really nice place.”

“What a pity!” said the chief. “Son, you’ve been halfway up the mountain rather than to the summit. Now you can leave .”

A month later, the third young man showed up in rags, his hair off-colored but his eyes clear and bright. 

“Lord, I succeeded in reaching the summit. There was nothing there but the highland wind and the blue sky ___8.___(hang) over the land.”

“So you saw nothing at all? Not even ___9.___butterfly?”

“No, Lord, nothing. All you can see is yourself. You just feel how insignificant you are in this infinite universe ___10.__ standing at the top!” 

“Son, you’ve reached the real mountaintop. Congratulations! You will be undoubtedly made our new tribal chief!”

 

Nature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.

Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun’s ultraviolet(UV)(紫外线)light.

Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.

Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they get weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.

The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.

Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain’s function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.

Don’t just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn’t the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.

1.Which of the following not true?

A.Antioxidants are responsible for plant colors

B.Plants use color to attract attention

C.Antioxidants can protect plants from UV light

D.Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants

2.In which order do the following facts occur?

a Wrinkled skin can be seen

b UV light causes free radicals to form

c Free radicals damage cells in our bodies

d The sun gives out UV light

A.a,b,c,d                                B.d,b,c,a

C.c,a,d,b                                D.d,b,a,c

3.We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.

A.our bodies’ defences are not natural

B.we are too young to defend ourselves

C.our defences get weaker as we get older

D.our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away

4.Which of the following can not cause free radicals to form?

A.Colorful food                          B.UV light from the sun

C.Polluted air                            D.The body itself

 

下面是生活中的几条小建议,有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各条建议的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

1. You can try your hardest, you can do everything and say everything, but sometimes people just aren’t worth trying over anymore, and they aren’t worth worrying about. It’s important to know when to let go of someone who only brings you down. The moment someone tells you that you’re not good enough is the moment you know you’re better off than they are, and better off without them.

2.Remember that the way you’ve always done it isn’t the only way. It’s unlikely that one of the things you’ll regret when you’re 70 is not having consumed enough beer in your 20s, or not having bought enough $6 lattes from Starbucks, or not having frequented the same night club for years. But the regret of missing out on opportunities is a real feeling. You’ve figured out drinking and going out. You’ve had enough lattes. It’s time to figure something else out. Every corner you turn or street you walk down has a new experience waiting for you. You just have to see the opportunity and be adventurous enough to run with it.

3.Some of the great moments in your life won’t necessarily be the things you do; they’ll be things that happen to you. That doesn’t mean you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action, and you will. But don’t forget that on any day, you can step out the front door and your whole life can change in an instant – for better or worse. To an extent, the universe has a plan that’s always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings and it starts to rain – it’s a scary thought, but it’s part of life’s cycle. All these little parts of the machine, constantly working – sometimes forcing you to struggle, and sometimes making sure you end up exactly in the right place at the right time.

4.Life is too short to wait. Every new day is another chance to change your life. Every great accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Trust that little voice inside your head that says, “What if…” and then GO DO IT. You would be surprised how often “what if” works. And no, you’re not obligated to win every time. You’re obligated to keep trying – to do the best you can do every day – to be better than you were yesterday.

5. Your ideas and choices don’t have to be on everyone’s list. Regardless of the opinions of others, at the end of the day the only reflection staring back at you in the mirror is your own. Make sure you’re proud of who that person is. Approach others with the belief that you’re a good person, whether they respond positively or not. It’s normal to want the people around you to like you, but it becomes a self-imposed burden when too much of your behavior is designed to constantly comfort others.

A.Always keep in mind that life is somewhat unpredictable.

B.Trust your instincts on new opportunities.

C.Introduce a little variety into your routine.

D.Accept some responsibility for the way others treat you.

E. Seek less approval from others. 

F. Let the wrong people go.
