12.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.

9.Well,to pick up where we left off last time,I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea.It is those things we all recognize when we see it,but we don't really understand what it is.We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative,but we don't know how they got that way.Is creativity a natural gift like good looks,or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge?Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully,we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives.The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts,but we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts.Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it.And this is what creativity is all about--imagining the world in a new way.And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations,we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way.In fact,you are born with it.It is your birth right as a human being.And what's more,you use it every day,almost every moment of your life.Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS.)

77.What did the speaker most probably discuss last time?
The mysteriousness of creativity/creativity is a mysterious idea
78.The source of all artistic work/The source of all important work in the arts is the widely accepted idea about the creative process.
79.Creative imagination/creativity and imagination leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?
80.According to the writer,what is creativity all about?
Imagining the world in a new way.
8.Remember to tip when in the US
In the US,giving a little extra money to service workers is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least﹩7.25per hour,employees (33)receiving (receive) tips---often waiters and waitresses---are the exceptions.They usually only receive at least﹩2.13an hour,and tips make up the differences.As the Wall Street Journal put it,"The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff."
So how (34)should you tip if you are in the US?
Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.(35)Offering(offer) an extra 15percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.
Yet there is (36)an exception.For take-out food,you don't have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra-but maybe a little less.
Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafes or ice scream shops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机).Don't feel (37)obligated(obligate) to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesn't hurt.Those workers don't rely on tips.
Other service workers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15% is the norm,(38)more (much) if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15% of the bill.The same (39)goes(go) for spa therapists (水疗师)and tour guides.
Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,it's important to bear in mind that (40)so long as/on condition that you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.
7.Delicious Culture
Cultural identity is what helps a nation,an area or a social group to distinguish itself from others.Across the globe and throughout human history,the land and climate have made groups of people develop their own food preferences,(25)whichhave become their traditional cuisines (美食) and their diversified lifestyles.However,this kind of food identity is fading slowly due to changes in the way we live today.
(26)What food is available is no longer decided by geography.As the world shrinks,our area's preferences will surely become more similar to (27)those of the rest of the world.As international food industry consultant Chris Lukehurst told The Guardian,you'll see Italian teens ignoring their local wine in favor of American-style beer.And while coffee and potato chips were"almost unknown"in China a decade ago,they are now becoming popular here.
However,(28)to win (win)as many customers as possible,multinational companies change their products a little for each market.Take fast food (29)for example.In China,both McDonald's and KFC include much more salad in their meals to help provide the three food groups necessary in every meal:grains,protein and vegetables.They also offer rice porridge,soy milk drinks and youtiao,or fried dough sticks,in breakfast menus to suit local customers.
(30)Although only a certain culinary (烹饪的) sign of culture is fading,UNESCO has decided to safeguard the world's food-related cultural heritage (遗产).In 2008,cuisines from specific cultures (31)were included (include) in its List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产).
Now,let's take a food journey across the world to understand (32)why we often say that you are what you eat,or you are what your ancestors ate.
6.Last month,I (33)reutrned(return) to Australia to attend my elder sister's wedding.Although it was a very modern wedding,my sister kept one tradition (34)that/which comes from an old English poem.
The poem says that a bride must wear:"Something old,something new,something borrowed something blue."It is said (35)to bring(bring) good luck to the marriage.
Something old is (36)something passed on from the bride's family.It could be an heirloom(传家宝)that has been in the family for years,or a piece of her mother's dress.This is meant to show a connection (37)with the bride's family.
Something new brings hope for the future of the couple.It can be the new wedding dress,or new shoes.
Something borrowed is normally (38)an item of clothing or jewelry borrowed from one of the bride's friends who have a happy marriage.It is believed to bring some of the friend's luck from her marriage to the bride.
Last is something blue,which comes from another rhyme:"Marry in blue,husband be true."This means that a bride who wears blue (39)will have(have) a faithful husband.It could be on her jewelry or on her shoes.
These days,most brides do not believe that (40)wearing(wear) these items will really bring them good luck.However,they wear them anyway in recognition that traditions are important.
5.We all have a first and last name,or personal and family name.But for many of us,it doesn't stop there.We also have nicknames,(25)which mostly come from our real name.
Some of them are obvious.Tom is short for Thomas; Sam is short for Samuel.However,there are some nicknames whose origins are more mysterious.
Take the name William (26)as an example.It can be shortened to Will,and also Bill.But how does Bill come from William?During the Middle Ages,people like to change letters to make names easier to pronounce.For example,a hard consonant (辅音) like B is clearer than soft ones like W.Bill sounds much clearer than Will.Interestingly,the people of England even called King William III,(27)who ruled in the 17th century,"King Billy".
Richard (28)has been(be) a popular name in England for centuries,too.It was commonly shortened to Rich and Rick to save time.Also like the name William,people liked to make rhyming names.So Rick became Dick.This nickname became so popular (29)that it is included in an idiom."Every Tom,Dick or Harry"means everybody!
The (30)most popular(popular) name for English kings has been Henry.England has had eight king Henrys.Yet most of them (31)preferred(prefer) to be called Harry by the people.It is a tradition still held.British Prince Harry's real name is Henry.I wonder (32)whether/if Harry Potter's real name is Henry?
4.The children were always good during August,especially when it got near the twenty-third.It was on this day that the great silver spaceship carrying Professor Hugo's Interplanetary Zoo settled down for its annual six-hour visit to the Chicago area.
Before daybreak the crowds would form,long lines of children and adults,each one grasping their dollar,and waiting with excitement to see what strange creatures the Professor would bring this year.In the past they had sometimes been treated to three-legged creatures from Venus,or tall,thin men from Mars,or even snakelike horrors from somewhere more distant.This year,as the great ship settled slowly in the huge parking area,they watched with awe as the sides slowly slid up to reveal the familiar barred cages.
In them were some wild race of nightmare-small,horse-like animals that moved with quick motions and constantly made high-pitched sounds.The citizens of Earth pushed around as Professor Hugo's crew quickly collected the waiting dollars.The good Professor called into his microphone,"People of Earth,this year you see a real treat for your single dollar-the little-known horse-spider people of Kaan-across a million miles of space brought at great expense."
The crowds slowly filed by,at once horrified and fascinated by these strange creatures that looked like horse but ran up the walls of their cages like spiders."This is certainly worth a dollar!"one man remarked,hurrying away.
As the ship rose from the ground the Earth people agreed that this had been the very best zoo yet…
Some two months and three planets later,the silver ship of Professor Hugo settled at last onto the familiar planet of Kaan,and the horse-spider creatures filed quickly out of their cages.In one home,the she-creature was happy to see the return of her mate and offspring."It was a long time you were gone.Was it good?"
The he-creature nodded."The little one enjoyed it especially.We visited eight worlds and saw many things."
"On the place called Earth it was the best.The creatures there wear garments over their skins,and they walk on two legs."the little one smiled.
"But isn't it dangerous?"asked the she-creature.
"No,"her mate answered."There are bars to protect us from them.We remain right in the ship.Next time you must come with us.It is well worth the nineteen commocs it costs."
And the little one nodded."It was the very best Zoo ever…"
