Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. All that happened on his sixth birthday. Luckily his sister who was two years senior to him took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.

“Can’t anybody help you?”
“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s a nun and she’s poor, too.”
“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”
“Well, then, ” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law.”

In a very special course at Knnet School, the social-science teacher Adam Smith guides his students through the “married life”. Unlike the traditional course, Adam makes his students experience the real problems married ones may face like housing and child care. “No one tells kids about money-managing problems,” says Adam.
Each student should act out in ten weeks what normally takes couples ten years to finish. In the first week, one member of each couple is asked to get an after school job — a real one. During the term, the income rules their life-style. In the third week, the couples must find an apartment they can afford.
In the fifth week, the couples “have a baby” and then struggle to cover the
costs of baby clothes and furniture. In week eight, the marriage comes to the breaking point by such disaster as a mother-in-law’s moving in or death. It’s all over by week ten (the tenth year of marriage). After serious discussion with lawyers about alimony (赡养费) and child support, the students get divorced (离婚) .
Adam’s course, which has “married” 1,000 students since its beginning six years ago, is widely supported by parents and students. Some of the students have found the experience making them realize their real life marry plans are wrong. Marianne Baldrica, 16, who tried “marriage” last term with her boyfriend Eric Zook, 15, said, “ Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together. But I wanted to live in the city, he wanted the country. He wanted lots of kids, I wanted no kids. It’s been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again.”
28. What is the aim of Adam’s course?
A. To tell students how to find a good partner.
B. To teach students how to manage their money.
C. To help students act as wives and husbands well.
D. To show students the problems in real marriage life.
29. What will happen in the eighth week?
A. The couples will have a baby.
B. The couples will have to find a flat.
C. The marriage will come to the breaking point.
D. The husband will have to find a real job.
30. After taking the course, Marianne will ______ .
A. choose to live in the country
B. break up with her boyfriend at once
C. ask their teachers and parents for help
D. have a better understanding of marriage
31. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A newspaper report. B. A library guide.
C. A science book. D. A project handbook.
D
The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment. Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health. Mr. Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), population increased and earnings rose. More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker.
“The food, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that leads people to gain weight.”
David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe. Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems.
A diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle. These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.
Mr. Tilman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
32. Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?
A. They ate foods high in calories.
B. They adopted a western lifestyle.
C. They set aside little time for exercise.
D. They had a better life and became lazier.
33. According to the text, overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPT_______.
A. diabetes B. heart disease C. cancers D. skin disease
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. The world’s population will grow faster than ever.
B. People won’t care about the environment.
C. There will be fewer and fewer forests.
D. Raising cattle will be the most moneymaking business.
35. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.
B. To draw people’s attention to environmental protection.
C. To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.
D. To call on people to give up the Western diet.

Habits of Highly Effective Studies
Some people believe that really successful students are just born that way, However, most of the successful students achieve their success by developing and applying effective study habits. The following are the top study habits used by highly successful students.
36
Successful students make a study plan throughout the week when they are going to complete their studying tasks——and then they carry it out. Students who study irregularly typically do not perform as well as students who have make a study plan.
Always go over your notes before starting an assignment(作业).
Obviously, before you can review your notes you must first have notes. 37 Before you start each study session and before you start a particular assignment, go over
your notes thoroughly to make sure you know how to complete the assignment correctly.
Start with the most difficult subject first.
As your most difficult assignment or subject will require the most of your effort and mental energy, you should start with it first. Once you’ve completed the most difficult work, it will be much easier to complete the rest of your work. 38
Make sure you concentrate while you’re studying.
If you are disturbed(打搅)while you’re studying, it is most likely to contribute to a vey ineffective studying. 39
Use study groups effectively.
Ever heard the phrase “two heads are better than one”? 40 Working in groups enables you to get help from other students when you’re struggling to understand a concept, complete assignments more quickly, and help both the other students and yourself to understand the subject matter.
A. Have a specific goal.
B. Plan when you’re going to study.
C. Always make sure to take good notes in class.
D. Effective students use study groups effectively.
E. Well, this can be especially true when it comes to studying.

Dear editor,
Here I write to tell you something about what I see in some places.
In some parts of our country, people cut down trees to enlarge the farmland, which causes some animals to lose their habitats. Besides, farmers use too much pesticide, and this can do great harm to animals. In addition, some people hunt rare wild animals so that they can earn money. As a result, the number wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them are even dying out.
In my opinion, it’s time that we took immediate measures to protect wild animals. We should’t cut down trees without permission. Instead we should plant more trees to protect the wild animals’ living conditions.
Yours truly,
Wang Li
