【题目】 It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person’s well-being. Because children are continuously developing physically and emotionally, they are especially affected by the benefits of activity. Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative reports that nearly one-third of US children are overweight or obese, and that “schools are a key setting for kids to get their 60 minutes of play with moderate activity, given the significant portion of time they spend there.”

Physical education programs in schools directly benefit students’ physical health. Regular exercise promotes muscles and bone development. In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults.

Though the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide policy in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.

Activities in P.E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels of leadership and community engagement among young people.

The benefits of P.E. to a child’s mental health are both complex and comprehensive. Improved physical health, academics and social interactions all contribute to good mental health. Physical activity sets the stage for a good night’s sleep, provides more energy to participate in hobbies and interact with others.

A.children are becoming much lazier nowadays

B.some schools have forbidden physical activity

C.most parents are dissatisfied with school education

D.schools must pay more attention to physical education

2Physical education is ignored in a way because .

A.children dislike taking physical activityB.schools are worried about children’s safety

C.students should have more time for studyD.less sporting equipment is available to school children

3What is the author’s possible attitude towards the policy in North Carolina?

A.Skeptical.B.Favorable.

C.Ambiguous.D.Objective.

4Which is NOT a benefit of P. E. classes?

A.They assure you of a successful future.B.They keep your mind in a good state.

C.They help you focus on your studies.D.They do good to your social skills.

【题目】 Everybody has a different opinion on what qualities make a good person. Some might consider honesty and devotion to be very important. 1 , but I believe that the ability to be optimistic is the most essential quality. I also think having a sense of humor and a smile is very important.

Voltaire once said “Life is a shipwreck (沉船), but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboat.” Life isn’t perfect, but why should we focus on the imperfections of life when we can smile. Being positive means looking out the window at a thunderstorm and saying “Wow, the plant will be watered.” If you look up the definition for laugh in a dictionary, it would say “to make sounds from the throat while breathing out in short bursts as a way of expressing amusement.” 2. It is like a cure for cancer or an umbrella in the rain. Laughter can protect you from the harmful rays of grief. I believe comedians are the true doctors of this world. 3. Laughter truly is the most effective and side effect-free medicine in the world.

4. Whether you are from China, France, or Germany, you smile in the same language. A smile has the power to make someone’s day. If you smile at someone, they will probably smile back. Therefore, smile all the time and pretty soon the whole planet will wear a happy smile. Life is like a mirror, and we get the best results when we smile at it.

Laugh your heart out, think optimistically, and don’t forget to smile. Imagine the world to be a happy and safe place to live. I have the power to make the world a better place. 5.

A.Life is a bed of roses

B.Laughter is much more than that

C.I agree that these qualities are vital

D.One’s happiness depends on his / her philosophy of life

E.You have that power to make the world a different place, too

F.They give you a free prescription every time you come to their office

G.A smile is one of the only gestures performed and understood globally

【题目】 It was Mother’s Day, but I knew there would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is there anything for me today?”

At that very moment the telephone rang. It was the voice of a little girl who said, “Miss Stephanie I’ve been thinking of you!” It took my breath away! I had known this girl from another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God’s great love for me.

There have been many Mother’s Days since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting. I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never be forgotten.

In the United States and elsewhere, Mother’s Day has become synonymous(与同义)with lots of human expectations. If we’re not careful, the fulfillment of these clichés can become a false standard for feeling loved, and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother’s Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice(庆幸)in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!

1How did the writer feel after comforting others on Mother’s Day?

A.Comfortable.B.Disappointed.

C.Anxious.D.Energetic.

2What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

A.Mother’s Day has become not so important in the United States.

B.The fulfillment of human expectations will never be a heavy burden.

C.The writer was always moved to tears on every Mother’s Day.

D.That Mother’s Day long ago had a positive influence on the writer’s life.

3What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.A Call from a Little Girl.

B.A Memorable Mother’s Day.

C.God’s Great Love for Everyone.

D.A Mother’s Day Long Time Ago.
