A
There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:
I’ll never lose weight—I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercising too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.
Exercise is boring
Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is you body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don't, rest and seek medical advice.
1.What does the author think about being fat?
A.It is the family genes that make people fat.
B. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.
C. It is the consequence of people's unbalanced lifestyle.
D. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
2.According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?
A. By sticking to outdoor exercise. B.By choosing simple exercise.
C.By doing regular exercise. D By taking varied exercise.
3.What is the author's opinion about "No pain, no gain" in exercising?
A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.
B. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal
C. .Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.
D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.
4.What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.
B. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.
C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.
D. To clarify some misconceptions(误解) about fatness and exercise.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取)to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.
5.Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?
A. A serious eye problem stopped her. B. She decided to further her education in Paris.
C. She couldn’t get admitted to medical school. D. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States.
6.What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming for a doctor?
A. She couldn’t graduate from medical school. B. She wrote too many letters.
C. She was a woman. D. She couldn’t set up her hospital.
7.How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening of her hospital?

If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.
What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.
9.If you lost in the forest, you should _______.
A. try to find your friends as soon as possible
B. stay where you are and give signals three times
C. walk around the forest and shout so that your friends could hear you
D. try to get out of the forest and shout for help
10.When you hear two shouts, or whistles, or gunshots, __________.
A. it is an answer to your call for help B. you can whistle three times
C. you should shout more loudly D. you should try to run to them
11.When you want to leave your place to get drinking water, you should ________.
A. just go to the river B. leave marks so that you can find your way back
C. make a fire so that you can have some tea
D. find some glasses or bottles before you go
12.This passage mainly tells you __________.
A. any signal given twice means an answer to a call for help
B. how you can live longer in a forest
C. when you hear a signal always three times, it is a call for help
D. What you should do if you get lost in a forest

After moving to a small town, I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be fixed. Within a week I picked them up and put them away in my closet.
Four months later my husband and I were invited out to dinner. I unboxed a pair of high heels(高跟鞋). I hadn't worn them since they were repaired. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were exactly the same style, color and size, but each was for the right foot.
I was puzzled, since I had worn the shoes on several occasions and knew I hadn't worn two right shoes. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Although I was sure he wouldn't remember me after such a long time, I telephoned him and explained to him the trouble I had.
“Thank goodness you finally called!” he was nearly shouting, “An angry woman with two left shoes has been bothering(打扰)for months!”
13.Why did the writer take several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker when she moved to the town?
A. The passage doesn't tell. B.Because she didn't want to buy new shoes.

They tell you how 65 (take) care of the clothes. The label for __66 shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only" and cleaning in water may ruin this coat. If you wash the clothes 67 the directions say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is expensive. When 68 (buy) new clothes, you had better check if they need to be dry-cleaned. You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed or that are well made. Well-made clothes last 69 (long).They look good

作文 Good morning, everyone,
I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is "Let's Ride Bicycles". As is known to us, air pollution and heavy urban traffic are becoming increasingly severe mainly due to the overuse of cars. Therefore, it's high time we chose another better means of transport, that is, cycling.
There are many good reasons to ride bicycles. First of all, compared to cars, bicycles are much cheaper to buy and maintain, and you don't have all the added costs of fuel, and parking. What's more, bicycles are more environmentally friendly than cars, because they hardly make noises and exhaust. Cycling has become a new trend around the world, a good way of energy saving and low-carbon life. Last but not least, cycling is an excellent way to keep fit and live longer. By riding bicycles, you can cut down your risk of heart attacks, high blood pressure and other illnesses. So I think, riding bicycles actually has great effects on us. Let's ride bicycles from today on!
Thank you for listening!
