When it’s cold and dark outside, the last thing you feel like doing is exercise. All you want to do is lie in bed for the winter months. However, regular exercise during winter will keep you energetic and help you beat the winter blues(抑郁). Don’t let the weather be your excuse for turning into a lazy person. It is said that watching TV on a sofa or a couch for a long time will make one lose interest in life. Here are some great ideas to keep you active.
Exercising Outdoors
Walking is a great form of exercise in all weather conditions. Make sure that you have suitable shoes and clothing. You should also check that the road you’re walking quickly on a fresh or even a wet day and then having a warm shower can leave you feeling refreshed, and it can also protect you from catching diseases.
Other outdoor activities include tennis, hill climbing and many others. These activities tend to take place in clubs or groups and can be great for keeping you active.
Exercising Indoors
If the outdoors is not your thing during the winter months, there are plenty of indoor activities for you to do, such as swimming, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Most health clubs, schools and community centres also run exercise classes throughout the year such as dance and yoga classes.
1. The purpose of the passage is to_____
A. tell people how to spend winter.
B. tell people how to exercise in winter
C. advise people to rest more in their spare time
D. introduce different types of exercises in a heath club
2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People will get winter blues if they don’t exercise in winter
B. Exercising outdoors can save you a lot of time.
C. Exercising is not difficult if you are determined to do it.
D. Indoor activities are not so helpful as outdoor activities.
3. When people go outdoors in winter, which sport most people can’t do?
A. walking B. hill climbing C. table tennis D. football

4. Which word can be in place of the underlined word “refreshed”?
A. bad B. terrible C. relaxed D. energetic
B
Florence Nightingale was born on May 12th, 1820 in Florence, Italy. She was born to a wealthy and well-educated English family. When she was young she became interested in caring for the sick and wanted to work in nursing, but her parents would not allow her to be a nurse. They expected her to get married and live a traditional woman’s life.
However, Nightingale had made up her mind, so her parents had to give in. She traveled throughout Europe during her early years and learned many languages including Greek, Latin, French and Italian. She also visited many of the hospitals in these cities and took many notes of the sanitary (卫生的) conditions in these hospitals. In 1849, she traveled to Europe to study the European hospital system. In 1854, she worked as a manager at the Hospital for In-valid Gentlewomen in London.
The following year, the Crimean War (克里米亚战争) broke out. Florence led 38 nurses and traveled to Scutari to help the wounded soldiers. When they arrived there they found the hospital conditions were very poor. Many of the wounded did not have beds and were lying on the ground. Florence and her nurses managed to improve the conditions. Florence also cared about the social welfare of the soldiers and would visit them during the night after every-one else had gone to sleep. She was referred to as "The Lady with the Lamp".
In 1860 she founded the Nightingale School for nurses at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. Once the nurses were trained, they were sent to hospitals all over Britain where they introduced what they had learnt. Nightingale’s concerns for sanitation, military (军队的)health and hospital planning practices are still in existence today. She died on the 13th August 1910.
5. What are we told in the passage?
A. Nightingale only visited the wounded at night
B. Nightingale’s parents supported her decisions all the time.
C. Nightingale didn’t want to marry.
D. Nightingale had the same name as the city of her birth.
6. When she was young, what did her parents want her to be?
A. a common woman B. a doctor C. a teacher D. a nurse
7. At least how many languages did Nightingale know?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. 4
8. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Nightingale was the only woman who founded the school for nurses in history.
B. Nightingale’s ideas affected Britain greatly.
C. It was the war that helped Nightingale achieve her goals
D. Nightingale was 80 when she died.
C
Yesterday morning I was in a extremely bad mood(心情). I had a quarrel with my
12
wife and my son didn’t get up on time for school again. However, it was not because of these but because of the following fact that I was angry. We had been out of milk for a while and I could only find three dollars to get a small carton of it (which would last only a day or two).
After eating some bread, I was on the bus to work when I saw a little “Donate a Ride” envelope up front. I read that some of those donations would go to women at abuse shelters(避难所) so that they could get to doctors’ appointments and court dates, etc. I thought I could donate the three dollars in my pocket I had. However, I needed to drink some milk before work, so I changed my decision. I decided to keep the three dollars to buy some milk.
Well, since I made that decision, I continued to feel bad and regretted my decision. When I was getting off the bus at the bus stop and was ready to make the short walk to work, I changed my mind again. I decided I could go another week without milk and I would donate that three dollars to “Donate a Ride”.
After I finished making that decision, I felt a lot better having done so. That was better than drinking milk in the morning. It is worth doing something when you can because it will make you happy.
9.The author was in a bad mood yesterday morning because____.
A. he had had a quarrel with his wife
B. his home had been out of milk
C. he refused to donate his money
D. his son didn’t get up on time for school again
10.The author decided not to donate the money at first because he____.
A. had milk for a week B. needed money on his way to work
C. had ever donated money before D. needed the money to buy milk
11.The moment the author saw the donation envelope, he____.
A. wanted to put his three dollars into it B. put all his money into it
C. decided not to donate anything D. ignored it
12.The best title for this passage would be___.
A. Money for Milk B. Drinking Milk Is Important
C. Donation vs. Milk D. How to Help Others
D
A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, and shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought perhaps this was not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like
12
a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say?’” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really’! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
13. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because____.
A. English idioms were not important
B. I was not careful with English idioms
C. my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of them
D. I had no interest in them

A. he was not interested in the topic
B. he was only interested in the Great Wall
C. I had talked too much
D. I had to stop talking
15. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.
B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.
C. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.
D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.
