Today was the Hungry Luncheon (饥饿午餐日). Every year, at our school, there is a lunch event called the Hungry Luncheon.

If you want to join the event, you must pay two dollars at the door of the dining hall and get a letter. All the money is used for helping those poor people who don’t have enough (足够的) food to eat. My letter was “K”.

After all the students sat down, the teachers called the letters for the meals: 15% of the students got to eat a best dinner. 25% of the students got to eat an Okay meal. But 60% of the students just had a small piece of bread and a small cup of water!

The purpose (目的) of this event is to tell us about the unfairness (不公平) of the world, and that we need to start helping the poor!

I was one of the 60% of the students. I was a little hungry for the rest of the day, but I learned something from this special lesson. Now every time I eat, I think about the poor.

A teacher was giving a lesson to his students on stress management (压力). He raised a glass of1.and asked the students, “How2.do you think this glass of water is?”

The students’ ­3.ranged from 20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you4.it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour , I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it

5.a day, you will have to call an ambulance(救护车). It is the exact same weight, but the

6.I hold it, the heavier it becomes.

“If we7.our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.

“___8.you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up  __9..”

We have to10.the burden from time to time, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.

So11.you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it

12.home. You13.pick it up tomorrow.

 “Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin,28,a writer in Beijing.

Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site(网上购物网站), has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping .Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products（产品）are the most popular on line.

It was reported that more than 250 billion（十亿）yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.

Taobao means “looking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books ,from candies to DVD players .

You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient. Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money .You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”

目前中学生早餐问题已经引起社会关注，你所在学校的学生会在5月20日“全国学生营养日”开展问卷调查，其结果令人担忧。请你根据调查结果写一篇短文，倡导营养早餐。(regularly, active, junk food(垃圾食品), a balanced diet, as a result)

Breakfast Is Important

Breakfast is important. But not all the students have realized its importance. Here’s the result of our survey. About 55 percent of the students                                                      

根据短文内容，完成下面的句子，每空一词。（每小题2分，共10分）

     Do you like drinking Coke? As a symbol of American culture, Coca-Cola is liked by many people, especially young people around the world．But from now on, perhaps it will be difficult for students in the US to get it in school. A new agreement (协议) will stop almost all sales of high-sugar fizzy (起泡的) drinks in American schools.

     The agreement allows only juice, milk and water to be sold in primary schools and middle schools. It will help 35 million young people choose healthy drinks.

      Childhood obesity (肥胖) has become a big problem in America. A report shows that obesity has risen so fast in teenagers in the past 25 years. The main reason is that kids eat too much junk food and drink too much Coke.

     The UK has already used similar ways to fight obesity. A recent study shows that people in the UK are much healthier than those in the US. However, it's better late than never. Now American schools are trying to lead students to healthier lives.
