    To make our digestive (消化的) system work well, we should avoid doing some things after having a meal, for example, drinking water. It is true that a person should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. However, drinking water right after eating or even during a meal may disrupt (扰乱) digestion. It might affect the natural levels of acid and bile (酸和胆汁) that are necessary for proper digestion. What’s more, drinking cold water after eating might slow down digestion. So try to avoid drinking water at least an hour after a meal, and avoid drinking it while eating.
    Though walking after eating is healthy, doing it immediately after a meal is not. Doing so will make it difficult for the digestive system to take in nutrients (营养) from the food. Besides, the blood will flow towards other parts of the body, like legs, hands, etc., which will make the digestive tract not have enough amount of blood flow that is needed for proper digestion. So we should wait for at least 2 hours after eating, and then begin exercising.
    Sleeping should also be avoided right after eating. This is because going to bed right after a meal will lead to improper digestion. What’s more, such a habit will also make you put on a lot of weight. Therefore, wait for an hour or two, and then go to sleep.
    Many of us have the habit of drinking tea just after lunch or dinner, which is really unhealthy. The tea leaves contain a large amount of acid which prevents the protein in the food from digesting. The best time to drink tea is at least one hour after eating.
    Eating fruits right after a meal may fill the stomach with air and cause discomfort. They will also take time to reach the digestive tract, disturbing the entire process of digestion. To protect your stomach from digestive problems, eat fruits before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.
    In a word, if you avoid doing all the above things after eating, you will surely make your digestion easy, and you will be less likely to have digestive problems.

    water
    		● Drinking water immediately after eating or during a meal may disrupt digestion by 小题1:______ the natural levels of acid and bile.

    Going for

    		● If we walk right after a meal, our digestive system will have 小题3:_____ taking in nutrients from the food.
    ● Walking right after a meal can result in 小题4:_____ digestion by causing insufficient (不足的) amount of blood flow in the digestive tract.
    ● Don’t 小题5:_____ out within two hours after eating.
    小题6:_____
    		● Going to bed right after eating can小题7:_____ the digestive system working properly.
    ● Going to bed right after eating can 小题8:_____ one to gain weight.

    ● Fruits should be eaten before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.

    “I stepped out and was flabbergasted,” local journalist Bahram Baloch told the BBC. “I could see this gray, dome-shaped (圆顶形的) body in the distance, like a giant whale swimming near the surface. Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in disbelief.”
    This island has become a global curiosity. How was it formed in just a few minutes?
    As you might already know, many islands in the sea are formed by volcanoes. There are numerous volcanoes under the sea. As the hot lava erupts and cools down, it piles up and forms the shape of a mountain. When the mountain “grows” to higher than the sea level, the part that’s above the water is what we call an “island”.
    This is how the island was formed after the Pakistan earthquake, except that instead of a regular volcano, it was a “mud volcano” that brought about this island. Lava is not the only thing that’s locked under the Earth’s crust — there is also gas. When an earthquake happens and breaks part of the crust, the gas is released at an extremely high speed, pushing mud up to the surface, according to National Geographic.
    But only earthquakes that are extremely powerful can cause mud volcanoes to push up enough mud to produce islands — and this 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan was strong enough. The island is about 20 meters high, up to about 90 meters wide and 30 meters long, nearly the size of a soccer field.
    In fact, mud volcano islands aren’t new. This is the fourth island of this kind in the region since 1945. But those islands usually didn’t last long.
    “It will probably be gone within a couple of months,” said Bill Barnhart, a researcher with the US Geological Survey. After all, “it’s just a big pile of mud that was on the seafloor that got pushed up”.
    小题1:What is the article mainly about?
    A．The disastrous effects of coastal earthquakes.
    B．The difference between mud volcanoes and regular volcanoes.
    C．How islands are formed by mud volcanoes.
    D．The great natural wonders of Pakistan.
    小题2:The underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
    A．surprisedB．disappointedC．worriedD．curious
    小题3:We can infer from the article that __________.
    A．the new island near the coast of Pakistan actually took a few months to form
    B．scientists still know little about different types of volcanoes
    C．another earthquake is likely to happen in Pakistan within a couple of months
    D．not all volcanoes change the geological appearance of the Earth
    小题4:According to the article, islands formed by mud volcanoes __________.
    A．are quite difficult to locate
    B．usually disappear after a short period of time
    C．are formed by hot lava from volcanoes
    D．used to be part of the Earth’s crust

    Just before midnight, six University of Cincinnati students were watching TV in an on-campus apartment when three men burst through the door. While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group, the other two scooped up $4,400 worth of laptops, cell phones, video games and cash. Once they had what they wanted, the trio fled into the night.
    Furious, the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars -- the one with the gun. In the struggle, it went off, and a bullet grazed a student's leg. His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up.
    By the next day, the injured young man was back in his apartment, and the suspect was in jail, charged with burglary, felonious assault and receiving stolen property. But how did the men manage to storm into an on-campus residence that November night in the first place? Simple: Students told police the building's main doors hadn't latched properly for days.
    As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates, they are finding themselves with an even bigger, more basic problem: Which campuses are safe? Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places, and for the most part, they are. But ivy-covered walls can't keep out every bad element. This country's 6,000 colleges and universities report some 40,000 burglaries, 3,700 forcible sex offenses, 7,000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year. Other hazards -- fires, binge-drinking, mental-health problems -- are also on the rise.
    Of course, that's not what parents and students see on America's serene campuses. There's a false sense of security, says Harry Nolan, a safety consultant in New York City. "Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think, nothing bad can happen to me," he explains. "People don't know that safety controls are often very lax."
    小题1:What did the students do after the burglars fled into the night?
    A．They stood there in surprise.
    B．They ran after the burglars at once.
    C．They waited for the police.
    D．They phoned their teacher.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “latched” in the third paragraph probably mean?
    A．watchedB．fixedC．lockedD．kept
    小题3:What worries parents most except ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates?
    A．Their children’s grades in the universities or colleges.
    B．Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges.
    C．Their children’s behavior in the universities or colleges.
    D．Their children’s relationship with classmates in the universities or colleges.
    小题4:Which is right according to the passage?
    A．Their children’s grades in are high.
    B．Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges will be mornitored well.
    C．The universities or colleges don’t pay much attention to the children.
    D．The universities or colleges are not key educational departments in the local area.

    Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's new son will be named George Alexander Louis, the royal family says. A statement from William and Catherine's settlement  Kensington Palace said the baby, third in line to the throne(王位), would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
    On Wednesday the royal couple took their son to Catherine's parents' house in Berkshire, following a half-hour visit by the Queen. All three names had been among the favourites listed by British bookmakers and the announcement was relatively quick by royal standards. It took a month for the name ofPrince Charles, the heir to the throne, to be announced, and a week for William, his eldest son.
    George has been the name of six British kings. The last, George VI, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II and reigned from 1936 to 1952. Alexandra, the female form of Alexander, is one of the Queen's middle names and was also the name of the Queen mate of King Edward VII at the start of the last century. Louis is one of William's middle names and was the given name of Prince Charles's tutor and great-uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979.
    The choice of name, relatively short by royal standards, does not necessarily mean the baby will eventually become King George VII. The Queen's father was named Albert, but chose to be crowned as George VI.
    "It's interesting that they chose to go with just three names," historian Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News. "It's almost as if the royal family is coming down with ordinary people, who tend to have fewer middle names than monarchs(君主).It is a name that none can find any problems with. George itself can't be shortened in any obvious offensive way. They've probably gone for something that is safe."
    小题1:Which of the following statements can best sum up the passage ?
    A．New royal baby named George Alexander Louis
    B．The royal couple gave birth to their eldest son.
    C．The choice of name was interesting and complicated .
    D．The new baby, third in line to the throne .
    小题2:From the passage we can know the father of the new royal baby is ____.
    A．Catherine B．George.C．CharlesD．William
    小题3:Which of the following is True based on the whole passage  ? 
    A．Prince Charles was the third heir to the British throne.
    B．George Alexander Louis was the third heir to the British throne.
    C．The announcement of the new loyal baby’s name is slow by royal standards.
    D．All three names , George Alexander Louis, were unpopular with British bookmakers.
    小题4:The underlined word “reign” in paragraph 4 probably refers to ______
    A．resignB．boomC．govern D．retire
    小题5:From what Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News , we can infer in Britain _____
    A．the name of an ordinary person is simple but meaningful .
    B．George itself can't be simplified in any obvious offensive way.
    C．a monarch or a prince has usually more names in the middle than the ordinary people.
    D．a person with more middle names must be a monarch or a prince .
