9．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包围） by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．
There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

5．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？B
A．Those who often take exercise．
B．Those who often watch television．
C．Those who often have meals at home．
D．Those who often walk to school．

B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
7．The word"steering"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB．
A．forcing       B．guiding        
C．driving       D．moving
8．The main purpose of the text is toC．
A．tell a story

仿佛到了世界末日！
13．Long time ago，there was a seed（种子） and because he was only a seed，nobody noticed him．Thus，feeling inferior （低等的），the seed gave no importance to his existence．
Then one day，a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun．Later，he was given rain．
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side．"Thank God for this．I really need some rest，"he heard the traveler say．
"What are you talking about？"the seed quickly asked．He thought the man was making fun of him．No one ever spoke to him like that．
"Who just spoke？"the shocked man asked．"It is me．A seed．"
"A seed？"The man looked at the big tree．"Are you joking？You are not a seed．You are a big tree!"
"Really？"
"Yes!Why else do you think people come here？
"What do they come here for？"
"To feel your shade （树阴）!Don't tell me you didn't know you had grown over time．"
A moment passed before the traveler's words brought him pride．
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life．The years of torture （折磨） by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up．
"Oh!That means I'm not a little seed anymore!I was actually born to make people feel comfortable．Wow!That's great!"
21．The seed didn't realize the importance of his existence becauseD．

10．On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise（MLE），I didn't get a lot  of fan mail，so my attention was caught by a  letter on my desk one morning．
    When I opened it，I read："Sweet piece of  writing on the Tigers．Keep up the good work．"It was signed by Don Wolfe，the  sports editor． Because I was a teenager（being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch），his words could not have been more inspiring，I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old．Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer，I would reread Don's note and walk on air again．
    Later，when  I got to know him，I learned that Don made a habit of  writing a quick，encouraging note to people in all walks of life，"When I make others feel good about themselves，"he told me，"I feel good，too．"
    Over the years，I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words．In a world too often cold and unresponsive，such notes bring warmth．
    Why are positive note writers in such short supply？My guess is that many who shy away from  the  practice are too self-conscious．They are afraid they will be misunderstood．Thus it may cause troubles and problems．And it sounds insincere on the phone，Also，writing takes time；it is far easier to pick up the phone．
    The drawback of phone calls，of course，is that they do not last．A  note attaches more importance to our well-wishing．It is a matter of record，and our words can be read more than once savored （回味） and treasured，and they bring strength and love to us．
    Today  I sent a warm letter to my old boss．I  don't know if it will make his day，but it made mine．As my friend Don Wolfe said．"Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel  good too．"

56．What does the underlined  part"walk  on air"in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
（No more than 5 words）
Become confident．/Feel good about himself．/Become uplifted．
57．According to the author，why aren't  people  willing  to  write  letters？
（No more than 15 words）
Because they may be self-conscious，and writing may cause misunderstanding，and also take time．
58．Why did the author write to his old boss？（No more than 15 words）
To encourage him，make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself．
59．What's  the text mainly about？（No more than 10 words）
The power of a letter from Don Wolfe．
60．Were you  encouraged by anybody？And how？（No more than 25 words）
Yes，I was．When I didn't do well in an exam，my best friend encouraged me to be confident and worked harder．．
6．With just a few minutes left before school was to start，my six-year-old son，Dustin，was pouting （撅嘴）．"I don't want to go，"he said．Ever since he'd entered the first grade，he has hated school．What's going on？I thought as he walked slowly out of the door．If he hates school this much now，how bad will it be later on？
    Every kid sometimes complains about school．But five to ten percent of kids dislike it so much that they don't want to attend school，says Christopher Kearney，director of the Child School Refusal and Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the University of Nevada，Las Vegas．
    If a child seems depressed or anxious about school，fakes illness to stay home，repeatedly winds up in the nurse's or principal's office，or refuses to talk about the school day，you should be concerned，say school psychologists Michael Martin and Cynthia Waltman-Greenwood，co-editors of"Solve Your Child's School-Related Problems"．
    Fortunately，you can usually solve the problem-sometimes very easily．In our case，my husband and I visited Dustin's class and noticed that the teacher，fresh out of college，only called on kids who tried to sit right under her nose quickly．Dustin，who generally sat near the back，was ignored．We simply told him to move up front．He did，and his enthusiasm returned．
41．What was the author's reaction when her son didn't want to go to school？A
A．She was worried．B．She was angry．C．She felt nothing strange．D．She felt sorry．
42．We can NOT conclude that a child hates school if heD．
A．pretends to be ill at school time          
B．hates to talk about school
C．feels depressed when going to school every day
D．complains about school sometimes
43．What can we learn about Dustin's teacher from the passage？B
A．She treats her pupils equally．
B．She is inexperienced in her job
C．She gives poor lessons．
D．She has prejudice against Dustin．
44．Dustin dislikes going to school because heD．
A．is laughed at by his classmates          
B．can't answer the teacher's question
C．is afraid of his teacher                  
D．feels he is being ignored in class．
