    Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)，but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life for the rest of their life.
    Considering that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block (砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
    The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant（不情愿的）students were able to sit on the bench.
    Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.
    小题1:According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
    A．Lift weights B．Climb a rope C．CycleD．Have a balanced diet
    小题2:What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”?
    A．Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E..
    B．Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it.
    C．Schools put P.E. in the first place.
    D．Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P. E..
    小题3:Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
    A．More teenagers are overweight.
    B．Traditional group sports teaching is not effective.
    C．Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life.
    D．Phys ed programs need less money to support.
    小题4:How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
    A．TwoB．Three C．FourD．One
    小题5:What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model?
    A．The Phys ed teaches group sports.
    B．The Phys ed provides more fitness programs.
    C．The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life.
    D．The Phys ed has more support from the government.

    When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly  36  to your physical and  37   health.
    "People who forgive  38  less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness," says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D.,  39  of Forgive for Good. "So it can help  40  on the .wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and  41  people to feel more vital."
    So how do you start the forgiveness? Try  42  these steps:

    "Take a couple of breaths and think of  44  that gives you pleasure: a  45  scene in nature, someone you love," Luskin says.
    Don’t  46  an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no  47  of apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same  48  . So if you wait for people to apologize ,you could be waiting a(n)  49  long time. "Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean  50  to the person who upsets you.
    Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your  51  gives power to the person who caused you pain. " 52  of focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness  53  you," Luskin says.

    Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better  55  and better sleep patterns. Don’t forget to forgive yourself. "For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge," Luskin says.
    "But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it. "

    In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
    About 300 B.C. an Indian writer described forest that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(监视). Some animals were fully protected．Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal(炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
    The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A.D. 1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife caring for the rapid growth of the world’s population.

    When Harvard was founded in 1636, there were no other colleges in the American colonies, and it would become the model for many of those that followed. When it began requiring applicants to take a test known as the SAT in 1935, Harvard started another trend. Two years ago, after it announced an aggressive new financial-aid policy, it helped push social class to the center of the national debate over higher education and forced two of its main competitors, Stanford and Yale, to follow its lead.
    Last week. Harvard began to make another effort to affect higher education in its image, its president, Derek Bok, announced that the college would abandon its early admissions program, which for decades has allowed high school seniors to apply in October and get an answer yes, no or maybe – in December, shortly before the regular deadline for applications.
    Harvard officials argue that the program is beneficial to rich students who don't need to compare financial-aid offers from various colleges. After the announcement, many people within education urged other colleges to take a similar step.
    "We're thrilled," said Laurie Kobick, a college counselor (顾问) at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va. "I think it's going to make admissions better in so many different ways. It will indeed go a small way toward leveling the field among applicants. Of course, it will also have an effect on colleges, and the biggest winner will almost certainly be Harvard. a fact that may prevent many other colleges – perhaps all of them – from       following Hazard this time. Because any college that does so will risk losing some of its best applicants."
    小题1:From the first paragraph we can learn that Harvard ____.
    A．was the first college in the American colonies
    B．was best known for the SAT
    C．was muck better than Stanford and Yale
    D．refused to offer financial-aid to applicants
    小题2:By abandoning early admissions program, Harvard wants ____.
    A．to attract the public's attention
    B．to influence higher education in its own way
    C．to save money spent in attracting students
    D．to allow its competitors to admit more students
    小题3:Early admissions program is good for rich students because ____.
    A．they have more chances to enter college
    B．they can enter college with a lower score
    C．they have special right to be admitted into college
    D．they have no problem in supporting their studies
    小题4:Why does Laurie Kobick think other colleges may not follow Harvard?
    A．Because they think the action will harm high education.
    B．Because they are afraid that the action is not practical.
    C．Because they may attract fewer top students than he[ore,
    D．Because they are afraid the action will damage their reputation.

    Not only did the students ask for changes in the list of required subjects，but they also demanded the right to choose their courses according to their own taste and future needs．No more fixed programs,no guidance from educators and professors．All they wanted was to get their degree as fast as possible and go to work．
    Although the educators didn’t all agree；a majority recognized that time had indeed changed and that education should perhaps adapt itself to the realities of modern society．Colleges and universities revised their programs to include a large number of specialized courses in business，nursing，engineering，and other professional fields．In the 1960s they also added courses requested by the students because they considered them“relevant(相关的)”(Women Studies，Revolution，or Black History)or useful(glass blowing，infant care，slow running，or family life)．The students were granted the right to choose their courses as they wished．Many traditional subjects had to be dropped，including history and foreign languages；the liberal education courses that were still useful were often neglected(忽视)by the students，who didn’t feel like working hard to learn something that was not required for graduation．
    Whether the revised programs have helped college graduates to find employment quickly is not clear．But after fifteen or twenty years of experimentation，they have raised a lot of criticism．Some of it comes from the graduates themselves,who discover that their practical knowledge is neither deep nor flexible(灵活的)．As soon as they progress to higher positions，they find that they need management training and more study in their own field．Besides，they feel disabled by their lack of general knowledge,for example，by their ignorance of the language and culture of the foreigners with whom they are doing business. Most of all they suffer from their inability to use English，their own language，easily and properly.
    小题1:The students also demanded      ，besides a change of program.
    A．the right to choose their university
    B．the right to choose their professors
    C．the right to choose their degree
    D．the right to choose their courses
    小题2:What was the reaction of the colleges towards the students’demand?
    A．All the educators agreed with them.
    B．None of the educators agreed with them.
    C．A few educators agreed with them.
    D．A few educators disagreed with them.
    小题3:Who is it that criticized the new system of education?
    A．GraduatesB．ParentsC．EmployersD．Educators
    小题4:In the opinion of the critics，the main problems are      .
    A．the general knowledge is too much
    B．the practical knowledge is impractical
    C．they learned too much useless knowledge
    D．they are not able to use their knowledge effectively

    As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets sage. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.
    Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attracted meteor shower(流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower as well, and I would surely be run over by a car.
    Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you’ve ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see is wasted electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.
    Additionally, electricity needs to be generated, and the generation of electricity creates pollution by giving off greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
    Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny sea turtle hatchlings become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
    Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution. 
    小题1:The author tells the story in the second paragraph mainly to _________.
    A．remember the past beauty of the town.
    B．stress the advantages of less pollution
    C．show the great changes of the town
    D．prove the bad effects of light pollution
    小题2:In the passage the author advises people _________.
    A．to try to reduce unnecessary light.
    B．not to ignore the beauty around.
    C．to set proper light for animals
    D．not to destroy the animal’s living conditions.
    小题3:What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．Light pollution is difficult to deal with.
    B．Light pollution is a threat to some animals.
    C．Light pollution has nothing to do with global warming
    D．Astronauts can’t see clearly in space due to light pollution.
    小题4:What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph which follows the last paragraph?
    A．The author’s contribution to light pollution
    B．Other sources of light pollution
    C．Ways of reducing light pollution
    D．More bad effects of light pollution

    The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
    　　Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
    　　The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
    　　In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”
    　　Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
    　　The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.
    小题1:What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?
    A．It has produced positive results.
    B．It is a highly profitable industry.
    C．It is based on the concept of positive thinking.
    D．It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.
    小题2:What does the word “underline” mean (Line 4, Para. 3)?
    A．point outB．lay emphasis onC．pay no attention to D．take for granted
    小题3: Which of the following is TRUE about the Canadian researchers’ study?
    A．Encouraging positive thinking many do more good than harm.
    B．Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one’s mood.
    C．There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.
    D．Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.
    小题4:What do we learn from the last paragraph?
    A．Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.
    B．People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.
    C．Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.
    D．The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.
