    Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke(中风).
    New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt I use in cooking. The recommended daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you avoid processed(加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t exceed the daily level.
    The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
    A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt shaker, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
    I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.
    小题1:The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.
    A．white peopleB．black people
    C．untreated diseasesD．high blood pressure and diabetes
    小题2:What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?
    A．Black people take in too much salt.
    B．Black people’s meals are very special.
    C．Processed foods have too much salt in them.
    D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.
    小题3:What would the writer probably suggest black people do?
    A．Order no salad in a restaurant.B．Take in no salt for several days.
    C．Stop cooking their favorite meals.D．Eat less takeaways.
    小题4:The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to ______.
    A．thank those who came to his home for his research
    B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier
    C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home
    D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is
    小题5:What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Watch the salt.B．Take care, black people.
    C．Say no to takeaways.D．Say no to high blood pressure.

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

    Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid? Back then，racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours，you weren't thinking fitness，you were thinking entertainment．But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused(未充分利用的)gym memberships，the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten．Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find．
    Although considered an excellent form of exercise，jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons．First，most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise，but they also believe that it is simply too difficult．In other words，they don't think they'll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical result．Second, many view it as somewhat boring and too repetitive-not as something fun or enjoyable．
    As a matter of fact，jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practise it．Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again，people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps．A single bounce，a double bounce，a skip，a knee-up，side swings，as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping．
    Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning．It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform in parallel(并行地)to each other．In short，jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment，time and space，yet leading to a much healthier life．
    小题1:From the first paragraph we learn that_______ ．
    A．all people now have more advanced equipment
    B．jumping rope has disappeared from people's memories
    C．racing around the playground was preferred
    D．people now like to have exercise in a gym
    小题2:Rope jumping has not spread widely because_______ ．
    A．it benefits the cardiovascular system
    B．it requires little equipment，time and space
    C．it is neither easy nor enjoyable
    D．it is considered boring
    小题3:The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies_____ ．
    A．there are many ways to follow
    B．the usual way should not be used
    C．the easiest way is always the best
    D．there is only one proper way to follow
    小题4:According to the researchers, jumping rope _____.
    A．only prepares the brain for learning.
    B．is suitable for students only
    C．helps both brain hemispheres work together
    D．can be dangerous for old people
    小题5:What is the author's attitude towards rope jumping?
    A．He is arguing against it.B．He is sitting on the fence of it.
    C．He is in favor of it.D．He is not clear about it.

    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. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.

    Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?
    With the development of the society, people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days. They become more and more concerned about their health problem. Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology(心理).
    According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally(精神上) ill. They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature.
    Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.
    As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.
    Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humour, even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.
    小题1:According to the passage, in the old days, what people cared most might be _____.
    A．foodB．exercisingC．clothingD．health
    小题2:According to the writer, the best way to keep healthy is to _____.
    A．have meals regularlyB．do outdoor exercises
    C．go to hospital frequentlyD．keep psychological health
    小题3:The most probable reason for patients who are mentally ill might be ____.
    A．burdenB．depressionC．sadnessD．spirit
    小题4:The best way to develop a good quality of psychology might be ____.
    A．taking social responsibilityB．exercising in a keep-fit club
    C．going on journeysD．taking physical exercise
    小题5:The key point to keep young is to _____.
    A．keep exercisingB．keep a young heart
    C．keep humourousD．keep a proper diet

    There is an English saying :“laughter is best medicine .”Until recently ,few people took the saying seriously .Now however ,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health .
    Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and breathing ; it also works several groups of muscles in the face ,the stomach ,and even the feet .If laughter exercises the body ,it must be beneficial .

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle (顶点) of sheer (纯粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
     1   I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
    For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes.   2   I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
    In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.   3   For adults, happiness is complex.
     4   But I think a better definition of happiness is “ the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.
    While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it’s the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge.   5  
    A．Love may not last; loved ones die.
    B．For a child, happiness has a magic quality.
    C．Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
    D．Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.
    E. The dictionary defines “happy” as “lucky” or “ fortunate”.
    F. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.
    G. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity.

    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

    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

    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.
    Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.
