To tell you the truth, this is the only thing _____ I have in the world.

Traveling is more important than reading books to understand people and the world. A book about another country tells you about things such as the country’s history, its people and its culture in a very general way. When meeting foreigners, I found that books can’t be trusted totally. For example, when I was visiting Wisconsin University, many people were rigid(保守的), uneducated, had no sense of humor, and they all wore blue suits. Even the picture in some people’s minds was that Chinese still wore pigtails(辫子)as they did in the Qing Dynasty. Though the videotapes shown by me, they were surprised to find that these facts were not true at all and the Chinese people are outgoing and have great intelligence, dress well and have an equally strong sense of humor.

Reading a book about another country makes me interested in traveling. Then I make plans to go and see what I have read about.

In addition, people who go out and experience things themselves are likely to be open-minded, and are really interested in making things happen. A friend of mine, Chen Ming, went to a backward rural area(落后的农村地区) and experienced the sufferings of the children there firsthand. Then he organized a medical team to give them treatment. Just reading about these children’s situation would not have had the same effect as seeing them in person.

More and more Chinese travel at home or abroad. Especially the children who travel more will see the important landscapes（风景） and will truly be full of knowledge about their own country. I have always felt enriched by the experience. It is only by “getting into action” that one can make a mark in this world, and truly live a meaningful life.

1．The author gives the example in Wisconsin University to show that ____.

A．Chinese are often misunderstood by foreigners

B．Books never tell the truth

C．Chinese people have changed their life style a lot

D．Seeing is believing

2．The underlined word “outgoing” means ____.

A．facing danger, pain, or difficult situations with courage and confidence

B．behaving or speaking in a correct way for the social situation you are in

C．being nervous about talking to other people, especially to strangers

D．liking to meet and talk to new people and make friends with them

3．The author believes that the more you experience things, ____.

A．the more you want to try something

B．the more you want to travel

C．the more interested you will be in reading books

D．the less you think you know

4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．If you want to know the world, you can only travel.

B．If you read about some place from a book, you must go and see it.

C．Traveling can make a person like his life even more.

D．Traveling can certainly make a mark in the world.

5．The best title for this passage should be “____”.

A．What’s Good for Travel B．Experience by Reading

     While surfing television channels over the weekend,a scene from a family classic of last year portraying
the now-so-familiar sorry state of retired parents being ill-treated by their children and families caught my
attention. I wondered why the description of this relationship had not changed much over the many years!
Even though the same movies and soaps accurately capture several other social changes around us-from
value systems to new found economic freedom to the importance of technology and the changing approach
to consumerism (消费主义)-are these creative efforts far from the truth in telling us that an average retiree
is still struggling?
     Look around and you will agree that the post-retired lifestyle for an ex-salaried class people is often a pale
shadow of their last working years. Even self employed people, who have handed over the responsibility to
the next generation, are no exception. Did the average middle class not save enough through his working
years?
     Socially, we already know that the Indians are taught the benefits of start saving early on in life. Household
savings data supports this social behavior-India has the highest rates of savings among various economies and
is far ahead of the west. Yet, tragically, a lifetime of savings does not seem to provide enough for a
comfortable retirement!
     A closer look at the pattern of what we do with our financial savings may tell us a bit more. Over half of
households' financial savings is put into a "safe" deposit, followed by large portions in insurance, pension,
provident funds (福利基金) and the rest in physical currency. Less than a tenth goes into "risky" assets (资产)
like stocks. While there might be nothing, in particular, worrisome in this investment pool, one has to consider
inflation (通货膨胀). The real value of savings, over a few decades, may actually be lower than the starting
point.

1. What had not changed much over the many years according to the passage?

A. Value systems
B. The poor situation of retirees
C. Economic freedom
D. Approach to consumerism

2. Which of the following statements about saving in India is right?

A. the concept of saving has been well received by Indians.
B. the amount of the savings ranks number one across the world.
C. long-standing savings can help the retirees live a care-free life.
D. saving early can not benefit people at all.

3. What's the best title of the text?

A. Retirees being treated unfairly
B. Is saving enough
C. Saving in India
D. How to deal with saving

4. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph?

A. Half of the financial savings in stocks can be accepted.
B. The real value of saving must be lowered in a few years.
C. A loss of savings may hardly be avoided.
D. Inflation can be avoided on condition that you consume instead of saving.

Many of you may think healthy eating means you have to replace the foods you love with

those you don’t.

The truth，though，is that keeping a healthy diet can be fun. Just ask Julie Upton，an ex-pert on nutrition and health in the US. Upton wants to advise teens everywhere to eat

healthier. She gives some suggestions on how to do just that.

Q：What motivations should you keep in mind to eat healthy?

A：I suggest setting goals for yourself. For example, it may be a goal to have one piece of fruit with lunch every day for a month, or to avoid eating fast food completely for the next month. Also focus on telling yourself，“What I eat now will affect how I look and feel a few

weeks from now，or how well I perform at school or in sports.”

Q：What nutrients should teens consume every day？

A：It depends on if you are a boy or a girl and how active you are. The best place to find

your ideal nutrient requirements is www. my pyramid. gov. Enter your gender（sex)，age and

activity level. It will tell you how many calories you need a day. It will also break that into

how many servings of each of the food groups those calories should come from.

In general，most teens need about 2，500 to 3，500 calories every day.

Q：What can teens do to make healthy snacking a fun habit？

A：Teens are influential. Your good habits can influence lots of people, including your friend, younger sisters and brothers． You could do challenges with friends about eating better. I think any way you can involve your friends，will help you succeed.

Also get your family in on the health pleasure. If your parents do the food shopping， they have to know what to buy，so you need to tell them that you want healthier foods at home.

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　All parents tell their children little white lies from time to time．“Of course Father Christmas comes down the chimney! ” “Eat your spinach-you'll get as strong as Popeye．”… and so on．However, there's one fib that's bigger than all the others．It's “I don't have a favorite child．”

　　In his fascinating new book, The Sibling Effect：What Bonds Among Brothers and Sisters Reveal About Us, Jeffrey Kluger, a father of two daughters, aged eight and ten, claims that “ 95 percent of parents in the world have a favorite child-and the other 5 percent are lying．”

　　Kluger may be exaggerating the figures for dramatic effect-but despite every parent's vehement(激烈的)denial that they have a favorite child-scientific research shows that he is not far off the truth．

　　According to one recent study by researchers from the University of California-which followed 384 sibling pairs and their parents for three years-65 percent of the mothers and 70 percent of fathers exhibited a preference for one child．As this was among families that knew they were being monitored, there's a strong possibility the true figures could be significantly higher．

　　Favoritism is certainly a controversial topic．When raised as a subject for discussion on parenting websites, it always arouses a stream of angry denials．

　　But interestingly, a lot of personal anecdotes appear from parents who say they were overshadowed by a favored sibling, or were, indeed, their mother or father's favorite．It seems everyone knows favoritism exists-but nobody wants to put their hand up and say they’re guilty of it themselves．

　　Another research, where siblings have been asked to say who their mother and father favor, suggests that mothers do tend to a show a preference for their first-born son, but fathers often dote on their youngest daughters．

　　Parents will often be drawn to the child who is easiest to get along with-or the child that shares similar traits to them．For example, mum will have a special bond with her sensitive, arty son, while dad lavishes attention on his sporty daughter．

　　Professor Scott says being least favored in a family can color our behavior as adults．“Children who feel they are less loved within their family are more likely to develop low self-esteem, anxiety and depression．”

　　But some experts believe being less favored can have positive consequences．Professor Scott agrees that favored children can sometimes find life difficult when they have to rub along in the real world．
