    “Oh please God, no, no!” Stephen Eldredge cried out when he saw his wife, Shelli, badly wounded on the side of the road. She had broken actually every long bone in her body, along with her pelvis, jaw, and cheekbones. He was terrified his bride would bleed to death.
    Stephen and Shelli had married just six months before near their home in South Jordan, Utah. They were in Hawaii on a family vacation with two of their sons. The family had rented electric motors and headed towards a nature preserve near Waikiki. But Shelli had fallen behind and the family turned back to make sure she was okay.
    Shelli lost so much blood that her heart couldn’t function properly and she went into shock at the hospital. Physicians were able to make her come to herself. On the first and second days there, she lived through half a dozen operations. On day three, the worst of Stephen’s fears came true. Shelli didn’t wake. She had shown heart failure and lung failure. “I thought every heartbeat would be her last,” Stephen says.
    As days passed with no change, one doctor gently asked if it was time to let Shelli go. An MRI（核磁共振）showed her brain didn’t have much chance of supporting life. Stephen couldn’t bear the thought of trapping his wife’s beautiful spirit in a body that would never work. If he kept her alive, what kind of life would she have ? He called family, religious leaders, and physician friends in Utah for guidance.
    And he decided there still was a chance.
    The family moved Shelli to a Utah hospital closer to home. In the next few weeks she started opening her eyes, but it wasn’t entirely clear how conscious she was. Nearly seven weeks after the accident, Stephen was joking with his sister in the hospital room when he saw Shelli smile, a big toothy grin. “Did you understand that?” he asked. She smiled again. Stephen fell to his knees in thanks.
    Shelli’s recovery has been slow but steady. Initially, she couldn’t remember much of the previous months, including her own wedding. Shelli has endured 17 operations so far and may require more surgery. She will definitely need more months of recovery. But she is able to walk. “She’s got her life back. She’s able to love and be loved, and be the person she was.” Elovie says.
    When Shelli hears about each step in her recovery, she calls it “miracle after miracle”. As for his experience, Stephen says, “This is a story of fear that was slowly replaced by faith.”

    How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes
    People have strange ideas about food. For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.

    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
    When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
    If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
    Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
    So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.
    小题1:If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.
    A．you can't use them any more
    B．they will become stronger
    C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again
    D．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again
    小题2:Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories, because ______.
    A．they can't write everything in a little notebook
    B．they have to use their memories all the time
    C．they have saved much trouble
    D．they have saved much time to remember things
    小题3:The main reason for one's poor memory is that ______        
    A．he does not use his arms or legs for some timeB．he can't read or write
    C．his father or mother may have a poor memoryD．his memory is not often used
    小题4:Give the best title for this passage.
    A．How To Have A Good Memory B．Don't Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs
    C．Strong Arms And Good MemoriesD．Learn From The People

    Every hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.
    The research claims that a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.
    The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. Their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.
    Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded. "TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity."
    The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, together with population and death rate data.
    But they said: "Although we used Australian data, the effects in other industrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar, considering the large amounts of time spent watching TV and similarities in disease patterns." In the United Kingdom, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day, compared with five hours in the United States.
    Earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying early, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.
    England's Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: "Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know - that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise."
    小题1:We can learn from the passage that_______
    A．whether you watch TV or not has nothing to do with how long you will live
    B．if an adult watches TV for six hours every day, he will die five years earlier
    C．physical inactivity and obesity won't shorten your life
    D．a sedentary lifestyle offers huge benefits.
    小题2:The word "it" in the second paragraph refers to
    A．a sedentary lifestyle B．eating C．smoking D．obesity
    小题3:What do we know from the last three paragraphs?
    A．People in the United Kingdom watch TV longer than those in the United States.
    B．That a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks isn't supported by other studies.
    C．Watching TV for two hours a day will increase the risk of illnesses or dying early by 20%.
    D．It is through these studies that we know a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks.
    小题4:The passage is intended to _______.
    A．inform the readers of a research on watching TV
    B．warn the readers of the harm of watching TV and hope they do sports
    C．tell the readers watching TV is also a good way to relax
    D．tell the readers large amounts of people often watch TV

    Forget famous goal celebration such as “The Robot” by Peter Crouch and “The Dive” by Juergen Klinsmann, here comes the South African “Diski dance”, which is performed through heading and kicking an imaginary ball, may be a goal celebration to watch in the following matches.
    South Africa's Siphiwe Tshabalala and his team mates performed this different dance when they celebrated his goal against Mexico in the opening World Cup game on Friday. The dance is already popular on YouTube and many soccer fans may want to learn the moves.
    Even South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has learnt the Diski dance which could surpass Cameroon Roger Milla's corner flag dance celebration in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. U.S. actor John Travolta performed the dance shortly after landing his Boeing 707 at Lanseria airport, north of Johannesburg, on Wednesday morning.
    Goal celebrations are now part of the biggest sporting event and players plan them in advance just in case they find the back of the net. In football, a goal celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a goal. The celebration may be performed by the goal- scorer, his or her teammates, the manager or coaches and the supporters of the team.
    The Robot goal celebration was so popular that England fans were surprised when Crouch , an English international footballer, said that he “wouldn’t be doing it any more unless England won the World Cup.”
    The word Diski is a word used by the local people for soccer and may also describe the local style of football which focuses on dribbling（带球）and other tricks.
    小题1:Besides “Diski Dance”, how many types of goal celebrations are mentioned in this passage?
    A．2.B．3.C．4.D．5.
    小题2:The underlined part “find the back of the net” in Paragraph 4 means               .
    A．score a goalB．win the match
    C．take a restD．take part in a match
    小题3:What do we learn about the word “Diski”?
    A．It has become the most popular sports word in the world now.
    B．It was used to show how people were good at dribbling.
    C．It was used to describe a football which was imagined by footballers.
    D．It was mainly used in South Africa before the South Africa World Cup.

    Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one's life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
    But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%—from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.
    For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”
    Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,” says one researcher,  Dr Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”
    小题1:The main idea of the passage is that _______.
    A．breakfast has nothing to do with people's health
    B．a good breakfast used to be important to us
    C．breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a car
    D．breakfast is not as important as we thought before
    小题2:For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.
    A．several studies have been done in the past few years
    B．the omission of breakfast has little effect on one’s work
    C．grown-ups have especially made studies in this field
    D．eating little in the morning is good for health
    小题3:The underlined part “nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means  _______.
    A．people without breakfast can improve their work
    B．not giving people breakfast improves work
    C．having breakfast does not improve work, either
    D．people having breakfast do improve their work, too
    小题4:The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to _______.
    A．stories, poems, play, etc
    B．written works on a particular subject
    C．newspaper articles
    D．the modern literature of America
    小题5:What is implied but not stated by the author is that _______.
    A．breakfast does not affect work
    B．Dr Polite works at an institution of higher learning
    C．not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
    D．Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London

    Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty. I’d have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I’d drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain — I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level.
    My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can’t eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I’m always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.
    It’s a lot of work — and not a lot of fun — to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.
    小题1:The first paragraph is mainly about _____.
    A．who found the author had diabetes
    B．the author’s life before having diabetes
    C．how the author was found to have diabetes
    D．the author’s eating habits before having diabetes
    小题2:What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes?
    A．She stopped playing basketball in the gym.
    B．She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly.
    C．She stopped eating food with natural sugar.
    D．She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A．Increase.B．Control.C．Absorb.D．Test.
    小题4:What’s the author’s attitude toward her having diabetes now?
    A．Worried.B．Frightened.C．Pessimistic.D．Positive.

    Girls can easily get sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
    Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
    Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
    In order to be able to help your friend in need, don’t be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down?
    A hug can make a difference in the word. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
    Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.

    Science can’t explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure(血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer．
    Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some．an animal provides more comfort than a husband／wife．A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress(紧张)1evels and blood pressure in people－half of them pet owners－while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(算术)or held a hand in ice water．Subjects completed the tasks alone，with a husband／wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems people feel more relaxed(放松)around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge．
    A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits．Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs；a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program．On average，people lost about 11 pounds，or 5％ of their body weight．Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12 pounds，more than 15％of their body weight．Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but，say researchers，got more exercise overall－mostly with their dogs--and found it worth doing．
    小题1:What does the text mainly discuss?
    A．What pets bring to their owners．
    B．How pets help people calm down．
    C．People’s opinions of keeping pets．
    D．Pet’s value in medical research．
    小题2:We 1earn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if        ．
    A．he has a pet companion
    B．he has less stress of work
    C．he often does mental arithmetic
    D．he is taken care of by his family
    小题3:According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?
    A．They have lower blood pressure．
    B．They become more patient．
    C．They are less nervous．
    D．They are in higher spirits．
    小题4:The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that       ．
    A．people with dogs did more exercise
    B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
    C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
    D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful
