When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock(吊床). But too often, we return home, tired.

       It doesn’t have to be this way.

       In fact active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging(慢跑), or climbing. Rather, we ask the sedentary(久坐的) vacations among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in the city street, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.

       These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.

       A walk at dawn or dusk helps keep you young. Try to make this a daily habit of life when you’re away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual refreshment.

      Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games, or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more active!

       Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacation on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting

The idea in the text is mainly to _______.

A. suggest ways to make vacations relaxing

B. suggest places for relaxing vacations

C. explain the reasons for having vacations

D. explain the relationship between vacations and health

Which of the following can be considered as a form of exercise?

A. Sitting by a lake.             B. Standing in water.

C. Staying in a car.        D. Enjoying beautiful scenery.

In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us to _______.

A. have vacations frequently         B. get out of the car frequently

C. go on vacations on foot            D. stay in a car seat

Is it time to kick Russia out of the BRICs （金砖四国）? If so, it may end up sounding like a famous ball-point pen maker-BIC. An argument is being made that Goldman Sach’s famous marketing device（策略）,the BRICs, should really be the BICs.

“Is Russia really worth the name BRICs?” asks Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, in an article for Foreigh Policy. Aslund, who is also co-author with Andrew Kuchins of “The Russian Balance Sheet”, thinks the Russia of Putin and Medvedev is just not worthy of inclusion alongside Brazil, India and China in the list of future economic powerhouses. He writes:

“The country’s economic performance has fallen to such a weak level that one must ask whether it has any say at all on the global economy, compared with the other members of its group. I have just returned from Moscow, which is always dull around this season. For the last seven years, Russia has taken very few measures to improve its economy. Instead, the state has been living on oil and gas. ”

Economically, Aslund has the numbers on his side. The International Monetary Fund figures that the Russian economy will fall by 6.7 percent in 2009, while China will grow 8.5 percent and India 5.4 percent. There is less of a case for Brazil, with a fall of 0.7 percent, but it is still doing

far better than Russia.

But the BRICs are not just about economy. As is mentioned above, it is a marketing device to encourage investors to focus on the big promising players. From an investment standpoint, it could be argued that Russia is leading the BRICs. Its stock（股票）market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent is for the other three.

At very least, however, Russia’s economic underperformance and stock market outperfoumance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.

According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?

       A．China.      B．Russia.     C．Brazil.      D．India.

According to Aslund, Russia shouldn’t be a BRIC partly because_______.

       A．Russia’s economic performance is far worse than the other three

       B．Russia’s leaders are not good at managing economy

       C．Russia has taken effective measures to improve its economy

       D．Russia will no longer attract investors from other countries

From the passage we know that ________.

      A．Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government

       B．Russia outperfoumed the other three countries in stock market

       C．most people disagree Russia is included in BRICs

       D．the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later

The author seems to ________.

       A．suggest it’s time to kick Russia out of the BRICs?

       B．feel worried about the economy of the BRICs

       C．think Russia is worth being one of the group

       D．show disappointment to Russia’s economy

By the time he realizes he       into a trap, it’ll be too late for him to do anything about it.

       A．walks       B．walked     C．has walked       D．had walked

If we had taken such effective ______ much earlier, the river would not be polluted           so seriously now.

    A．treasures          B．efforts       C. measures        D. actions

In America, turkey is served as the main course on special ________.

My Fellow Americans,

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).

Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would   36   this a private matter or we would make this news known in a   37   way.

In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer   38   I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to   39   public awareness(意识). We were happy that   40   many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to   41   to normal, healthy lives.

So now, we feel it is   42   to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater   43   of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are   44   by it.

At the moment I feel just fine. I’d   45   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have   46   done. I will continue to share   47    journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch   48   my friends and supporters.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease   49  , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   50   experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   51   it with faith and courage.

At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of   52    me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,   53   that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.

I now begin this   54   that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright   55   ahead.

Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.

                                                                                                         Sincerely,
