       Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room.But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out.

       Here is some important advice.The first is to eat less fast food.The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat.Young people and adults are at risk of disease related to weight.

       Too much fast food can drag your body down.French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acrylamide(丙烯酰胺) than other food.This may cause cancer.Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide.So don’t eat it too often.

       Soda is another thing you should watch out for.Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible.

       Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices.Human bodies need variety.You can have a dinner that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物).In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.

       Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal.It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time.Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.

     All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound = 0.454 kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.

    I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.

     After more than twenty years of battling obesity(肥胖), my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.

    To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.

    She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”

    The competition was exciting! I prayed that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and her performance was wonderful.

    That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.

64. The first two paragraphs mainly show that the author’s mom was __________.

   A. experienced      B. painful          C. comfortable        D. fat

65. After the author’s mom completed a forceful eighteen-month diet, she was about __________.

   A. 85 kilograms    B. 41 kilograms      C. 130 pounds         D. 90 pounds

66. In order to join in the “Mrs. Forty-Plus” Competition, the author’s mom has to do the following EXCEPT __________.

   A. providing a dance performance            B. telling a funny story about herself

   C. giving a speech to a large number of people  D. wearing special clothes to show to people

67. The underlined part in Paragraph 6 means that __________.

    A. the author’s mom succeeded in modeling and speaking

    B. the author’s mom’s performance was very wonderful

    C. the author’s mom was not successful in modeling

    D. the author’s mom succeeded in making a speech

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊猫)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

56. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food    

B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways            

D. eat entirely different food

57. Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird

C. The bear.         D. The fox. 

58. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

A. the season changes    B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places   D. they are attracted by different smells

59. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. food is chosen for a good reason        

B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food   

D. some people care little about healthy diet

                             

Elephants don’t forget—at least,female elephants don’t.Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family group’s survival, according to a study published in April by Karen McComb,a biologist at Sussex University in England.?

     Elephants announce their presence by making a deep,long sound,a practice referred to as contact calling.An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby.A stranger can cause trouble,interrupting feeding or disturbing the young.So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her;then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller.False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding,so survival may depend in part on getting it right.?   Working with Cynthia Moss,who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago,McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old.She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls.In fact,a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call.However,families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call.And they gathered together a lot.Moreover,the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results:Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.?

    This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age,they continue to grow larger,as do their much wanted tusks .So the older—and wiser—a matriarch is,the greater the chance she will be killed.About 800 000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.

53.What does the underlined word “matriarch” mean?

A.An old member of an elephant family.     

B.A female head of an elephant family.

C.A wise elephant.                      

D.A large elephant.

54.The research with recordings of contact calls shows _________.

A.how fast elephants form into groups

B.how important the age of a leading elephant is

C.how frightened elephants are when hearing a strange call

D.how frequently old elephants call other members of the family

55.The older a female elephant is,_________.

A.the stronger she will be               

B.the poorer memory she will have

C.the more useless her tusks will be       

D.the more likely she will be killed

56.We can infer from the passage that elephants may _________.

A.run into other elephant families       

B.give wrong warnings to their mothers

C.run away upon hearing a strange sound

D.produce more babies by gathering together more often
