13．Four simple ways to stay positiveTrying to stay positive，both in good times and bad，is a great way to improve your quality of life．Try these four methods on a daily basis．
Don't think a lot about negativity．
Of course，staying positive 24 hours a day，seven days a week is a bit difficult．Letting things get to you is normal，and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while．
It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk．（36）F However，don't give that sadness another second in your day．
（37）A What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside．Fill yourself with good，healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking．Exercise is equally of great importance．Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity，and try to stick to a routine．（38）G
Be kind to others．
（39）E Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face，but also yours as well．Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect．Good deeds are contagious （传染的），and your positive attitude may spread among others．
Take it one day at a time．
Being positive isn't an instant thing．It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day．（40）C Instead，focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better．

A．Eat healthy and stay fit．
B．Take your lunch breaks outside．
C．Don't worry about what the future may bring．
D．Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times．
E．Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness．
F．Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened．
G．Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood．
12．If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock．According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years．The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die．The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5miles per hour．The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7mph die at the same rate as non-joggers．The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries（动脉）．Over time，this can cause serious injuries．
Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，"If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate （适度的）pace is a good strategy．Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful．"
The implications （暗示）of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk （轻快的）walking may be better for us than"iron man"events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling．According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，"You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health．And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much"．

32．The underlined word"strenuous"in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to"A"．
A．hard             B．regular          C．practical        D．flexible
33．The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 toD．
A．suggest giving up jogging
B．show risks of doing sports
C．introduce the research process
D．provide supportive evidence
34．According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？A
A．It may injure the heart and arteries
B．It can make the body tired out
C．It will bring much pressure
D．It consumes too much energy
35．What can be inferred from the next？C
A．No exercise at all is the best choice
B．More exercise means a healthier life
C．Proper exercise contributes to good health
D．Marathons runners are least likely to die．
11．Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk，I went to a friend．He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave-and mighty （强大的） forces will come to your aid．
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed．It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all．On the other hand，whenever I had dived into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again．
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat．And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces．They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas-even physical strength greater than most of us realize．
Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones．But they are more important than physical ones．A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player．"In one game I suddenly found myself facing a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，"said Tim．"I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet-and stopped him cold．"
Boldness-a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be acquired overnight．But it can be taught to children and developed in adults．Confidence builds up．Surely，there will be setbacks （挫折） and disappointments in life； boldness in itself is no guarantee of success．But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds．
So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities-and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed．

28．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past？B
A．He lacked mighty forces．
B．Fear prevented him from trying．
C．He faced huge risks．
D．Failure blocked his way to success．
29．What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game？A
A．His spiritual force．
B．His physical strength．
C．His real fear．
D．His basic skill．
30．What can be learned from Paragraph 5？C
A．Confidence grows more rapidly in adults．
B．Repeated failure creates a better life．
C．Boldness can be gained little by little．
D．Trying without success is meaningless．
31．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？B
A．To tell people the ways to guarantee success．
B．To encourage people to be courageous．
C．To advise people to build up physical power．
D．To recommend people to develop more abilities．
10．Jane was walking round the department store．Shere membered how difficult（61）itwas to choosea suitable Christmas present for her father．She wished that he was as easy（62）to please（please）as her mother，who was always delighted with perfume．Besides，shopping at this time of they ear was not（63）apleasant experience：people stepped on your feet or（64）pushed（push）you with theirelbows（肘部），hurrying ahead to get to a bargain．Jane paused in front of a counter（65）whereso meat tractive ties were on display．"They are real silk，the assistant tried to attract her．"Worth double the price．"But Jane knew from past experience that her（66）choice（choose）of ties hardly everpleased her father．Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered．She found some good quality pipes（67）onsale．She did no the sit ate for long：although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while，she knew that this was a present which was bound to please（68）him．
When Jane got home，with her small but well-chosen present in her bag，her parents were already at table having supper．Her mother said（69）excitedly（excite），"Your father has at last decided to stop smoking!"Jane（70）was informed（inform）．
9．Adults are happy to tell their children that crusts （面包皮） will give them curly hair，carrots will help them see in the dark，and spinach will make them strong．Even though adults know it's not totally true，they think it's good for their children's health，a study had found．
In a study about 31 percent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale，and 36 percent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father．Among the over-50s，almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts．A quarter of the 2，000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark．This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables．
Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong．A third surveyed said their parents told them this，and about 29 percent said they told their children the same thing．But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health，there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't．
Thanks to Popeye，spinach is also fed to children，along with the idea that it will make them strong．While there is also some truth in this one，scientists now believe it is not the iron，but the inorganic nitrates （无机硝酸盐） that improve physical power．
One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster，which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science．Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood．
Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero，and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals．
Lyndsay Jones，spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid，said，"It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation．Our research shows that the ideas continue，and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us，even if they're not always entirely true．"
Crusts may not make your hair curly，but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf．Hopefully，as a result of our Cook with Kids promise，more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food．

32．We can know from Paragraph 3 thatC．
A．milk is beneficial to children's physical strength
B．a third people are forced to drink milk by their parents
C．there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's health 
D．about 29 percent people wish their children good health
33．Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree？D
A．Most persuasive stories about food are false．
B．Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did．
C．Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation．
D．Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true．
34．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．parents are expected to tell children the truth about food
B．scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strong
C．runner beans can really make children run fast
D．crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf
35．How is the passage mainly developed？C
A．By making comparisons．
B．By following time order                                   
C．By giving examples．
D．By analyzing causes．
8．We've reached a strange-some would say unusual-point．While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization，more people now die from being overweight，or say，from being extremely fat，than from being underweight．It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days．
Worse still，nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight．What's going on？
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems．The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point．
In the 1970s，Finland，for example，had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause．Not any more．A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades．
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005，and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body．That has become a sort of fashion．No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country．
We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter．By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise．More than half of us admit we lack willpower．Others blame good food．They say：it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat．Still others lay the blame on the Americans，complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food．
Some also blame their parents-their genes．But unfortunately，the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape，or rather slim．
It's a similar story around the world，although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight．Parents are eager to see their kids shape up．Do as I say-not as I do．

28．What's the"strange"point mentioned in the first sentence？B
A．Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world．
B．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life．
C．WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety．
D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts．
29．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight？C
A．Body image has nothing to do with good food．
B．A lot of effective diet pills are available．
C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers．
D．There are too many overweight people in the world．
30．The example of Finland is used to illustrateC．
A．there are too many overweight people in the world
B．the cause of heart disease        
C．the effectiveness of a campaign
D．the fashion of body shaping
31．Which would be the best title for the passage？B
A．Overweight or Underweight
B．Actions or Excuses   
C．WHO in a Dilemma
D．No Longer Dying of Hunger．

There is a widespread concern among us students about if an admission fee should be charged for local parks.60% of us holds the opinion that it's not proper to do so．A park is supposed to be a place where the public can relax them．Besides，working out in the open air is both physically or mentally beneficial．If an admission fee must be paid by the visitors，it is necessarily to build a gate  and surrounding walls．In that case，the park doesn't look on attractive any more．Therefore，40% of my classmates do not share same opinion．They say the money from all the ticket can be used for paying the gardeners and make some repairs．

5．I don't think I need to tell you that reading is good for you．Unfortunately，most people don't read．Sometimes，people do want to read，but can never seem to find the time．（36）FHave a goal．
Some people set goals for themselves like reading one book a week．You can start by reading a book a month，or a book every two months even．It's up to you，whatever floats your boat．（37）E
Apply a little pressure．
You can have a reading partner．Set something up between both of you like what look you're going to read and when to see your promise through．（38）DThe return date gives you a sense of pressure to finish your book by a certain deadline．
（39）BIf you're determined and willing，use every possible moment to bury yourself in the art of the written word．On the bus．On the subway．On your lunch break．Or at the gym．You won't regret it，I promise!
Take action right away．
（40）GWe will make up all kinds of excuses not to do it．Not get out of bed．Not clean the house…At these moments，the trick to avoiding this mental block is to just pick up the book and read!Once you start reading，it's quite difficult to stop!

A．Start with great determination．
B．Read whenever and wherever you can．

One year ago，I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station．It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to，for we had no textbooks，no blackboard or no fixed seats．
Gathering at the entrance of the station，we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here．Curious and excited，we walked around the station and looked everywhere，search for any information in English．Whenever an English word comes into sight，the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world．With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures，we could figure out its meaning with ease．
Now，this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go．
