If you are sitting, please stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes if you can. Do anything but sit. New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. Sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Cutting television time to less than two hours a day can add one point four years to life.
The human body is designed to move. The fact is just the opposite. Modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. We sit while we're eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we are watching TV. And most of us sit for many hours at work. Sitting is something we do all the time. On average, Americans sit for four and a half to five hours a day. But that does not make sitting good for us.
Though you may exercise often, that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. We can't throw away physical activity. It is extremely important. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23 and a half hours a day is also very important.
Changes are coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. It is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place. Even some U.S. schools begin to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.
Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody. However, they may get five standing desks or a treadmill desk for their employees and put them in a certain place where people can go for an hour a day to answer their emails or talk on the phone. Experts suggest some other activities: take a walk at lunchtime; walk to the offices and talk directly instead of emailing colleagues. All these activities may help you live longer.
（1）Why should people stand up according to the new research?
A.They should touch their toes.
B.Standing more can cure some diseases.
C.Sitting less does people good and may help people live longer.
D.They spend too much time watching TV.
（2）What can we learn about sitting?
A.Sitting is the best position for the body.
B.People usually have to sit for a long time nowadays.
C.The more people sit, the better they will be.
D.Americans sit longer every day than people in other countries.
（3）What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The walking hour
B.Sitting
C.Standing.
D.Exercising
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The new design of desks can help people sit less.
B.The “treadmill desk” is used by people to run.
C.It's better for school students to use standing desks.
D.It's necessary for companies to offer a sitting desk to every employees.

Most visitors come to the UK expecting the rain and weather for which the country is famous. However, when summer finally arrives, British people like nothing more than heading for the coast. Here are some of more famous places of interest that you could expect to visit on a trip to Britain. Black pool, in the northwest of England, is the most visited place in the UK. Each year around 6.5 to 7 million people come to enjoy the miles of sandy beaches, the 158m Black pool Tower and the 11km-long Golden Mile, where there are entertainments, pubs, ice rinks (溜冰场) and even a zoo. On the south coast of the country you can find Brighton. Until 1786, Brighton was a sleepy village. Then the future king, George IV, decided to build a house there, and now it has become a large, international centre. Apart from the beaches, Brighton is famous for its pier (码头). There are theatres, entertainments and restaurants there. Brighton is also fantastic for shopping. If you want to travel a little further, why not go to Cornwall in the far southwest of the UK? South Cornwall offers miles of sandy beaches and beautiful scenery. The climate there is warmer than the rest of Britain, and you can even find palm trees. For a bit more excitement, go to North Cornwall. The scenery there is nicer, and the beaches are famous for their powerful waves. As a result, North Cornwall has become the home of British surfing. One word of warning though, if you are using the roads in the UK during holidays, you can expect long traffic jams on the motorways. It might be better to take the train.
（1）Which is the best title for this passage?
A.How to Enjoy Your Holidays
B.Let's Go to the Beach!
C.Welcome to Britain!
D.How to Travel in Britain
（2）We may find this passage in a ______.

D.news magazine
（3）If Andrew likes surfing, which is the best place for him to spend his holidays?

D.South Cornwall.
（4）From the passage we can infer that ______.

C.the pier is more interesting than the beaches in Brighton
D.Black pool is the most famous place in the UK

Everyone can't live without money. However, money cannot buy everything. You can't buy the following things only relying on money you have.
Time
Money is a tool for trade. We spend most of our time on this earth getting, spending, worrying and fantasying about money. Instead, money takes away your time that could have been spent playing with your children or having a long walk with your friends. When the sun sets, a day goes away from our life forever. No money has power to bring that back to life.
Self-respect
There are a lot of examples to prove that no money can buy self-respect. If you are your worst enemy, gods of money can't save you from the self-destruction you add to yourself.
Health
As I write this, I found out that one of my best friends has brain cancer, and it is in the last period. But no money can buy insurance for his life. We buy insurance for just about everything including our life but money can never bring life back.
Happiness
This is controversial(有争议的). Money can buy happiness if it is spent bringing greater financial safety for the family. Going after money every day can never find its destination with frequent eagerness to get more .

B. Self-respect is got from within.
C. Money can buy a lot of things.
D. You can't buy the time or save it in your storeroom.

Letter One
Dear Editor,
After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play Internet games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm children. Once I went to a net bar to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.
Li Ping, Nantong
Letter Two
Dear Li Ping,
I think it's not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don't want their children to play computer games.
Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.
Good luck,
Rebecca

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
People can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things — e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的):They have a very powerful psychological（心理上的）need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
（1）According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money___.
A.and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys
B.in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C.just to meet his or her strong psychological need
D.and feels he or she is cheated
（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A.People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.
B.Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people's spending habits to increase sales.
C.Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D.Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.
（3）What is the text mainly about?
A.The psychology of money-spending habits.
B.The habits of compulsive spenders.
C.A special psychology of bargain hunting.
D.The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.
（4）From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____.
A.are really unreasonable
B.need special treatment
C.are really beyond drugs
