    When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer (使…快活) me up, my laugh turned into crying.
    So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.
    Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
    Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to offer support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
    Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response.
    小题1:Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
    A．Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
    B．Because she did not love her grandmother.
    C．Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
    D．The author doesn’t give the explanation.
    小题2: It can be inferred (推断) from the text that ______.
    A．there are two ways to keep healthy
    B．laughing does more good to health than crying
    C．crying and laughing play the same roles
    D．emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
    小题3: According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
    A．Crying is the best way to get help from others.
    B．Holding back tears may cause some health problems.
    C．We will know our deep feelings if we cry.
    D．We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
    小题4:What might be the best title for the text?
    A．Power of TearsB．How to Keep Healthy
    C．Why We CryD．A New Scientific Discovery
    小题5: What might the underlined word “fight” in the last paragraph mean?
    A．come backB．pay backC．hold backD．give back

    小题1:D
    小题2:D
    小题3:B
    小题4:A
    小题5:C

    试题分析：整篇文章主要介绍了哭的力量和作用，对我们健康有益的好几个方面，因此最后 作者建议大家不要压抑而要该哭则哭，
    小题1:细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears.可以得知作者也不知道没有哭的原因，故答案为D。
    小题2:推理判断题。C项说crying和laughing起着同样的作用不完全正确, 从文章最后一段的句子：Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses.可知情感健康与身体健康密切相关. 本题为推理判断题. 所以选D。
    小题3:细节理解题。由文章第四段第一句话可知Besides, tears attract help from other people.,可知哭可以得到别人的帮助，B是明显正确的。
    小题4:主旨题：整篇文章主要介绍了哭的力量和作用.所以选 Powers of  Tears.题目要有概括性，选A。
    小题5:猜词题。从最后一段的句子：It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response.可知我们如果想哭不要压抑而要该哭则哭，这里的fight是hold back。选C。

    American children are not the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending 3 hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.
    From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children were not getting enough exercise and that it made no difference whether they live in a rich or a poor country. “With regards to physical levels, we didn’t find much of a difference between rich and poor countries,” Guthold said, “Growing up in a poor country doesn’t necessarily mean kids get more physical activities.”
    The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outdoors for at least 5 days a week. Children spending 3 or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games or chatting with friends were classified as sedentary.
    The researchers found only a quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30% of girls were sedentary and didn’t get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.
    Girls from India were the most active with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active with 4 percent getting enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary while the most sedentary nations were St .Lucia and the Cayman Islands.
    People show deep concern for kids’ lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated（认为）that urbanization could be a factor as well as easy access to cars and TVs.
    小题1:If you are sedentary, you ____________.   
    A．are a diligent student spending much time doing homework
    B．have at least an hour of exercise outdoors 5 days a week.
    C．like watching TV and playing computer games
    D．spend longer hours sitting or lying without moving
    小题2:Which of the following statements is true as to Guthold’s finding?
    A．Most children around the world don’t meet the exercise recommendation.
    B．Girls in every country are no more active than boys.
    C．Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activity.
    D．Only 4% of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.
    小题3:All the following statements are wrong except _______.
    A．Children in poor countries get more physical activities.
    B．Girls in Egypt are more active than those in India.
    C．Couch potatoes are those children addicted to snacks.
    D．Children in Myanmar are less sedentary than those in St .Lucia.
    小题4:What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the paragraph that follows?
    A．The suitable amount of physical activities for students.

    Researchers in London and Bristol have found that men are particularly likely to yield to depression if their partners are also depressed.
    The finding highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers, as young children themselves are vulnerable (容易受伤的) to social problems if both parents are depressed.
    Researchers in London and at the University of Bristol launched their study to investigate whether family structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is born. They looked at men from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose partners had children by a former partner, and men who were not living with their partners.
    All 7,108 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered questions about their age, education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationships with their partners, networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded.
    About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their child was born. While men in stepfamilies or who were not living with their partners were twice as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families, this could be explained by other factors that are more common in nontraditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts.
    Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from prenatal (围产期的) depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in an American journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy women, the figure was only 2.6 percent.
    Previous research suggests that families with two depressed parents may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled parents have difficulty relating to their peers. “It’s extremely important to look at the whole family.” she says.
    小题1:What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs of this passage?
    A．Men often beat their children.
    B．Depressed women often have depressed partners.
    C．All young children are vulnerable to social problems.
    D．Women with children often have depressed partners.
    小题2:Why did researchers in London and Bristol carry out such an investigation?
    A．To see what kind of family environment is ideal for children to grow up in.
    B．To study whether family structure affects depression in men when their child is born.
    C．To investigate why so many men get depressed when a child is born.
    D．To see whether it is true that behind every depressed man there is a depressed woman.
    小题3:What kind of men is least likely to get depressed when their child was born?
    A．Men in stepfamilies.
    B．Men who were not living with their partners.
    C．Men in traditional families.
    D．Men in nontraditional families.
    小题4:According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners.
    B．2.6 percent of healthy women were depressed.
    C．Special attention should be paid to families in which both the father and the mother were depressed.
    D．Primary school children whose parents were both depressed couldn’t get along well withtheir peers.

    Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
    Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .
    Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.
    Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
    Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to give people hope through soccer. He created a foundation(基金会) to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
    Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
    小题1:Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.
    A．be a team leaderB．obey the basic rules
    C．act as a grown-upD．predict possible danger

    A．describe life in an exciting way
    B．turn real-life experiences into a play
    C．make learning life skills more interesting
    D．change people’s views of sporting events
    小题3:According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
    A．It makes people have a deep love for the country.
    B．It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
    C．It helps the country out of natural disasters.

    A．bring fun to poor kids
    B．provide soccer balls for children

    A．Games benefit people all their lives.
    B．Sports can get all athletes together.
    C．People are advised to play games for fun.
    D．Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.

    Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods (天然健康食品) ? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid (酸) accumulation in your body.
    Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is overweight. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive system, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
    Processed foods (加工食品) contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
    The accumulation of acid in the digestive system makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
    To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach. One effective way is to choose raw and whole foods appropriately according to your health conditions and personal preferences.
    小题1:It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.
    A．we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
    B．foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
    C．it is important for people to protect their vital organs
    D．giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
    小题2:Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.
    A．destroy body’s cellsB．harm your stomach
    C．may lead to obesityD．stop body’s natural function
    小题3:What is the main purpose of this passage?
    A．To warn people of the problem of overweight.
    B．To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
    C．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.
    D．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
    小题4:What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?
    A．Different causes of acid accumulation.
    B．Correct ways to cook raw foods.
    C．Active approaches to avoid acid.
    D．Suitable types of raw and whole foods.

    FDA proposed the most sweeping food safety rules in decades, requiring farmers and food companies to be more cautious in the wake of deadly outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe (瓜），and leafy greens.
    The long-overdue regulations are aimed at reducing the estimated 3,000 deaths a year from foodbome illness. Just since last summer, outbreaks of listeria (李氏杆菌）in cheese and salmonella(沙门氏菌）in peanut butter, cantaloupe and mangoes have been linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The actual number of those sickened is likely much higher.
    The FDA’s proposed rules would require farmers to take new precautions against contamination (污染）,to include making sure workers5 hands are washed, irrigation (灌溉） water is clean, and that animals stay out of fields. Food manufacturers will have to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean.
    Many responsible food companies and farmers are already following the steps that the FDA would now require them to take. But officials say the requirements could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in some of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years.
    In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives ，for example, FDA inspectors found pools of dirty water on the floor and old, dirty processing equipment at the Colorado farm where the cantaloupes were grown. In a peanut butter outbreak this year linked to 42 salmonella illnesses ，inspectors found samples of salmonella throughout a New Mexico peanut processing plant and multiple obvious safety problems ，such as birds flying over uncovered trucks of peanuts and employees not washing their hands.
    Under the new rules, companies would have to lay out plans for preventing those sorts of problems and how they would correct them.
    “The rules go very directly to preventing the types of outbreaks we have seen/，said Michael Taylor, FDA’s deputy commissioner for foods.
    小题1:The main task of FDA is probably______
    A．to protect and promote the public health
    B．to help those sickened recover
    C．to research on food safety measures
    D．to deal with water pollution
    小题2:According to the passage, the new rules focus on_____.
    A．inspecting the whole process of food production
    B．improving food processing equipment on farms
    C．preventing water pollution in food production
    D．urging food companies to lay out plans
    小题3:What does the word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
    A．Inspectors.B．Farmers
    C．Manufacturers.D．Workers.
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The new regulations should have come into practice earlier.
    B．The 2011 outbreak of listeria is the most serious ever.
    C．Farmers and food companies are strongly against the new rules.
    D．Colorado and New Mexico are worst hit by food pollution.

    An allergy is a strong reaction to a substance. Many things can cause allergies. The most common cause is pollen (花粉), which is usually produced by trees in the spring, grasses in the summer and weeds in the fall, as part of their reproductive process.
    Other causes include organisms, chemicals, plants and dead skin particles from dogs and cats can also cause allergic reactions. So can insect stings and some food.
    The most common kind of allergic reactions is itchy (痒的) , watery eyes and a blocked or watery nose. Allergies can also cause red, itchy skin. Some reactions can be life-threatening, for example, when breathing passages become blocked.

    I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.
    I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food.
    But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.
    Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
    So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
    小题1:The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.
    A．pizza topped with fruitB．things left undone
    C．food remaining after a mealD．meals made of vegetables
    小题2:According to the last paragraph, it is important to__________.
    A．be careful about what you eatB．eat something for breakfast
    C．heat up food before eating itD．eat calorie-controlled food
    小题3:What can we infer from the text?
    A．Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
    B．Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
    C．There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
    D．Eating vegetables helps save energy.
    小题4:The text is written mainly for those__________.
    A．who go to work earlyB．who go to bed late
    C．who eat before sleepD．who want to lose weight
    小题5:What does the author advise the readers to do?
    A．Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night.
    B．Better eat less in the night.
    C．Better eat leftovers in the morning.
    D．Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories.
