I blew (17) kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.” The father was (18) shocked. He felt very sorry for his misunderstanding.

Most school do not allow chewing gum(嚼口香糖)，but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists have found that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help you make great progress in your test scores.
This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other ingredients that could give gum the power to relieve headaches and other diseases.
These gums are parts of the growing number of foods and drinks that contain health-improving ingredients. If you’re already a gum fan, that’s a probably welcome news.
However, just when does chewing gum do good to your health? Many studies show that chewing gum after meals can help with production of saliva(唾液). Saliva helps wash away bad things that damage our teeth.
An ingredient called xylitol, which is added to some gums, help clean the teeth better. This is good for more than just the teeth. Research suggested that good health in mouth decrease the risk of heart disease and other serious diseases.
Health expert Gil Leveille, executive director of the Wrigley Science Institute, says that chewing gum might also be good for your brain. One study shows that chewing gum make the flow of blood to brain faster by up to 40 percent. Blood carries oxygen, which energizes brain.
Other researchers have found that people perform better on thinking while chewing gum. And a study in the United Kingdom found that people who chewed gum did about 25 percent better than people who didn't chew gum while memorizing a list of words
"It certainly makes sense," Leveille says, "that increased blood flow would be related to increased alertness."
Recently, the US army has been providing soldiers with gum containing caffeine to keep them quick in action. Each stick of gum has about 100 mg of caffeine in it, about the same amount in a cup of coffee.
50. What is the meaning of “ingredient”?
A. Things that are used to make something
B. Diseases that make people suffer a lot
C. Medicines that are used to make gum
D. vitamins that are used to make gum
52. Gums with________ in it can do better in cleaning our teeth.
A. minerals
B. saliva
C. xylitol
D. caffeine
53. Which opinion may Gil Leveille agree with the most?
A. Good health protects our body from some diseases.
B. Chewing gum can help blood flow to brain faster.
C. Chewing gum is not helpful to remembering words.
D. People will perform worse when they chew gum.
54. According to the passage, chewing gum has much advantage EXCEPT______.
A．Improving our study
B．Making our body weak
C．Cleaning our teeth
D．Quickening our brain
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A．Schools should allow chewing gum for different reasons.
B．Chewing gum is very popular in American army.
C．Chewing gum can make people’s brain work better.
D．Chewing gum does good to our health in many ways.

For Beijing students hoping to do better than others in the college entrance examinations with their good English skills, it’s bad news: English will not be as important as Chinese or math on the big exam starting from 2016.
Beijing’s education authorities (当局) have decided to cut the English to cut the English test score from 150 to 100 but raise that of Chinese from 150 to 180.
“I have been told since I was able to speak that English is very important, but all of a sudden, it isn’t any longer,” said one of my classmates, who usually scores highly on English tests.
As Senior 3 students already, we both feel lucky that English will weigh as Chinese and math for 2 more years, but some classmates who don’t do well in English tests feel sad about being born in the wrong year.
“What if I had been born 2 years later,” said Xiao Li, “or even later, when we might not have to learn English at all.”
Teachers in my high school have different opinions about the changes to gaokao
scoring. “The message has been given in public that English will not be as important as other subjects,” said English teacher Madame Zheng, adding, half jokingly, “I might lose my job.”
Beijing is not alone in playing down the importance of English in the college entrance examination. Other provinces are considering changes to English testing too. For example, Shangdong will cancel the listening part of the English test next year.
Beijng’s education authorities want to reduce the workload of students and call for more time and energy to be spent on Chinese language and culture.
Still, in my opinion, changes to English testing scores are sure to make students spend less time in learning English. Thus, China will be a worse place for English speaking and less able to connect with the rest of the world.
56. The scores for English in the 2016 Beijing College Entrance Examination will be _______.
A. 100
B. 150
C. 180
D. 200
57. What is the writer’s attitude towards the change to English scores?
A. He is for it.
B. He doesn’t care.
C. He is against it.
D. It isn’t mentioned.
58. According to Xiao Li, what may happen to English in more than 2 years.
A. English may be more important.
B. English may be given less scores.
C. Students may study more Chinese.
D. Students will still study English.
59. Which statement about the change to English testing scores is TRUE?
A. Chinese is as important as English.
C. Shangdong will also cut the English test score.
B. Madame Zheng will lose her job.
D. Senior 3 students have different opinions.
60. From the last paragraph, we know that ________.
A. English will not be spoken in China.
C. English will not be influenced in China.
B. Chinese will not be so international.
D. China will not connect with the world.

参考范文：
Dear Classmates,
As more and more cars are used in China, air pollution is becoming heavier and heavier. Cycling is popular again in China. I think cycling has a lot of advantages.
Firstly, cycling can help to reduce air pollution, so it is good to protect our environment. Secondly, we can keep fit and become healthier by riding bicycles. Thirdly, the pressure of our busy traffic can be reduced by cycling, which is cheap and convenient/easy form of transportation.
However, every coin has two sides. Cycling can also be dangerous, so we should take care while riding a bicycle. The most important is that riders should follow the traffic rules. Thus we can have a happier and healthier life when we use bikes as a means of our everyday means of transport.
