Why Exercise Is Cool?
1. Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground? 【小题1】 By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
2. 【小题2】
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion,” which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
3. Exercise Keeps the Balance
【小题3】 Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 【小题4】 If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories.
Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
4. Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.
But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood. 【小题5】 It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!
| A.So you want to do some aerobic (有氧的) exercise right now? |
| B.Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy. |
| C.When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier. |
| D.Those are exercises that can build strength. |
F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy
G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
【小题1】D
【小题2】E
【小题3】B
【小题4】G
【小题5】C
解析试题分析:本文叙述了为什么锻炼是酷的?一是锻炼能够锻炼肌肉。二是锻炼能使身体有柔韧性。三是锻炼能使身体保持平衡。四是锻炼能使人感觉心情好。短文从以上四个方面进行了阐述。

Cooking with your children is a great way to involve them in the process of decision-making and taking responsibility for themselves. 【小题1】 and they will be more willing to make their own snacks meals and bag lunches when they have the skills to be successful in it.
Plan ahead--Choose a time when you will be relaxed and not disturbed.Easier said than done. For children cooking needs lots of patience and time to learn by doing things for themselves. 【小题2】
Supervise(监督指导)--Have an adult nearby to help with sharp utensils(炊具),electric appliances and the stove.
Prepare--Wear an apron or old clothes. 【小题3】
Organize--Read the entire recipe and gather ingredients arid utensils before you begin.If you put each ingredient away as you use it,it will be easy to tell what you have already put in if you get interrupted in the middle of the recipe.
Safety--Turn pot handles inward away from other burners so they don’t overheat or get knocked off the stove.Never reach across burners or pots that are hot.Never use wet cloths,as steam will form and burn you.Be careful with electric cords. 【小题4】 Double-check that you have turned all appliances off when you finish cooking.
【小题5】 Get cooking and have fun with your kids
| A.Cooking also helps them develop a sense of accomplishment and practice language and math skills and gives them an opportunity to share their creations with others |
| B.Cooking for yourself requires the time and ability to do it and access to the necessary ingredients |
| C.With a little help and a lot of encouragement,your children will become confident cooks with the ability to prepare meals and make bag lunches on their own |
| D.First of all the children must have the knowledge of how to cook |
F.A relaxed pace will help you resist grabbing(抓起)the utensils to do it yourself
G.Tie back long hair,roll up long sleeves and remove jewelry
【小题1】Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream(抗生膏)from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?
A team of scientists from Scotland says yes. They've engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease -treating drugs inside.
【小题2】Animals make thousands of proteins—they’re the main ingredient in skin, hair, milk, and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates for making protein drugs.
Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are not expensive to take care of; what’s more, they need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. “【小题3】”says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA—the code that tells cells how to make proteins so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. 【小题4】
The scientists altered the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites (蛋清). This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.
These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks. 【小题5】The scientists need to improve these chickens before they roost (栖息) in drug companies’ labs. The birds don’t make enough drugs to treat people yet. But once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine sunny-side up.
| A.Medicine comes in lots of different uses. |
| B.Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories. |
| C.So far, the Scottish researchers have bred five generations of drug—producing birds. |
| D.Some chickens are found having the ability of treating diseases. |
F. These drugs are made of molecules called proteins.
G. Medicine comes in lots of different packages.
I always reflect on what happened in my life. I think this is important—to appreciate our wins, losses, new passions, insights, etc. 【小题1】 Here are some tips for you on reflection.
1. Focus on the process and not the outcome.
This thought was beautifully summed up by Srikumar Rao. He explains how we fail because
we focus our energies on the outcome rather than the- process itself. When a child learns to walk, she never focuses on the outcome but on the process.
2. Failure is a lead not a stop sign.
When you hit a wall and things don’t turn up the way they are intended, no one is saying to you, “This is where you stop because you failed”. If you do, you are reading the wrong information. Failure tells us, “ 【小题2】 Try another method.”
3. Happiness is not the destination but the journey.
We think that happiness is a result that comes after having acquired or achieved something we don’t have. This is not quite right. 【小题3】 It’s about stepping back and enjoying the ride rather than expecting it at your destination point.
4. Wisdom comes from the balance between your knowledge and your heart.
Let your heart talk more; it’s wiser than you think. You can be as knowledgeable and clever as one can be. 【小题4】 Wisdom is really having reached a stage where you balance all your knowledge with your heart.
5. Gratitude is the energy-drink of the soul.
Say thank you to the universe every morning. Appreciation can lift your soul from anxiety which weighs you down. Try it out. 【小题5】 It will help you appreciate life with more depth and perspective.
| A.Failure is the mother of success. |
| B.Happiness is when we accept and enjoy everything as it is. |
| C.This method and the intended result do not match. |
| D.Be thankful to at least one thing in your day. |
F. Happiness means achieving your goals and getting what you want.
G. But if your mind doesn’t go with your heart, you are losing energy in internal conflicts.
Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.
【小题1】 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.
Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. 【小题2】 . Ideal (理想的)study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.
Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 【小题3】
You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.
【小题4】 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.
【小题5】 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.
| A.Pick a place where your children can study properly. |
| B.Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves. |
| C.Finally, spend time with your kids when they’re studying. |
| D.Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement, too. |
F. Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.
G. One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to.
