18．If it really is what's on the inside that counts，then a lot of thin people might be in trouble．
Some doctors now think that the internal（内部的） fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily．
"Being thin doesn't surely mean you are not fat，"said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994，Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create"fat maps"showing where people store fat．
According to the result，people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat，even if they are slim．
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women，as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores （20 to 25）actually had too high levels of internal fat．Among men，the percentage was nearly 60 percent．
According to Bell，people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods，but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first，but at some point，the body may start storing it elsewhere．
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat，but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes（糖尿病）．They want to prove that internal fat damages the body's communication systems．
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet．"If you want to be healthy，there is no shortcut．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle．"Bell said．

D．it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat．

17．A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price．A more recent definition is：a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people．
 The cost of producing a new-for example-toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it，so we will market it at£1.20．It is not a bad toothpaste，and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with； but the attraction of novelty soon fades，so sales will fall．When that happens we will reduce the price to£1.15．And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it．
 Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF．What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever!Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult（侮辱），but he doesn't．A bargain must not be missed．People say one has to have washing powder （or whatever） and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper．
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become‘bargains'．Many people just cannot resist bargains．Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for．Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day．But he had no regrets：the saw had been truly cheap．
 Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains．A lady once told me："I've had a lucky day today．I bought a dress for£120，reduced from£400； and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for£600，reduced from£900．"It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted£720．She feels as though she had made£580．She also feels，I am sure，that if she had more time for shopping，she could make a living out of it．
 Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper．Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren．They thought it a bargain not to be missed．When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it-until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one．So that was where they piled up their sugar．Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee，but the toilet became extremely sticky．
 To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer．When greedy fools fall for this trick，it serves them right．

16．Like any good mother，when Karen found out that another（11）babywas on the way，she did what she could to help her three-year-old son，Michael，（12）preparefor a new life．They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl，and every day Michael sang to his （13）sisterin Mommy's tummy．
The days went by．The little girl got（14）worseafter the birth．The doctor told the parents，"There is very（15）littlehope．Be prepared for the worst．"They had fixed up a special（16）roomin their home for the new baby，but now they（17）planneda funeral．
Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister．"I want to（18）singto her，"he said．If he didn't see sister now，he might never see her（19）alive．She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into ICU，but the head nurse（20）recognizedhim as a child and shouted．"Get the kid out of here now!No children are（21）allowed．"The mother rose up strong，and the （22）usuallymild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse's face．"He is not leaving（23）untilhe sings to his sister!"Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside．He gazed at the tiny infant （24）losingthe battle to live，and he began to sing．In the pure （25）heartedvoice of a 3-year-old，Michael sang：
"You are my sunshine，my only sunshine．You make me happy when skies are gray…"
Instantly the baby girl（26）responded．The pulse rate became calm and steady．
"You never know，dear，how much I love you．Please don't take my（27）sunshineaway．"
"The other night，dear，as I lay sleeping，I（28）dreamedI held you in my arms…"
Michael's little sister relaxed．
The medical staff just called it a miracle．Karen called it a miracle of God's （29）love!
NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE．LOVE IS SO（30）UNBELIEVABLYPOWERFUL．

12．The secret of domestic happiness is having two daughters，according to a study．
In a finding that will surprise many parents，researchers concluded that two girls are unlikely to fight，will play nicely together，rarely annoy their parents and tend not to wind each other up．Thsy also make little noise，seldom ignore each other and are more likely to confide in their mother or father，scientists claim．But doubling the number of daughters is a recipe for disaster，with parents of four girls the least happy with their domestic set-up．
Researchers questioned thousands of mothers and fathers of under-16s to come up with the recipe for a harmonious family life．Those with two girls were most likely to say their children wee easy to reason with，helped around the house and generally got on well with each other．But parents of four girls reported trying to end an average of four fights a day．One in three frequently found it hard to cope，and two-thirds had buy a bigger house or car to accommodate their family．Overall，mothers and fathers with four children of any gender were more likely to find family life a struggle，with mornings，mealtimes and bedtimes the most common source of conflict．And parents of large families more often admitted neglecting one or more of their children on occasion or struggling to share their attention equally．
After two girls，the second most appealing combination of children was one child and one boy，with 86per cent of parents saying their little boy and little girl were genuine friends．Two siblings of the opposite genders rarely argue over toys and are easy to reason with，but suffer from a lack of shared interests as they grow up，the researchers claim．
The third most favorable combination was two boys，with parents saying their sons pay each other lots of attention and are close friends-but are less likely to donfide in their mum or dad as they grow up．

55．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means"B"．
A．if you have more children，you'll enjoy a happy life

A．get equal attention from their children
B．see shared interests among their children
C．have heavy financial burdens to take on
D．enjoy the comfort of a harmonious mealtime

A．they often invite trouble for their parents
B．they will have complete trust in their parents
C．they can have lots of common interests
D．they can both develop a real friendship with each other

9．As we know，there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used．Let's look at the words about animals and plants．Most expressions in Chinese about the dog，for example，"a homeless dog"，"a mad dog"，"a running dog"and"a dog catching a mouse"，have negative meanings．But in western countries，dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans．In English，people use the dog to describe positive actions．For example，"you are a lucky dog"means you are a lucky person．And"every dog has its day"means each person has good luck sometimes．To describe a person's serious illness，they say"sick as a dog"．The word"dog-tired"means very tired．However，Chinese love cats very much．But in western culture，"cat"is often used to describe a woman who is cruel．There are many other examples of how"cat"is used differently as well．
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries．People think the rose stands for love，peace，courage and friendship．And the rose is the national flower of England，America and many other countries．
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures．We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used．

32．"Every dog has its day．"Means"C"．
A．Everybody in the world is lucky．
B．Each person lives his own way of life．

D．If one works hard，he's sure to succeed．

A．an unkind woman  
B．a brave man
C．a homeless person         
D．a tired person
