A
This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. You don’t have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.
◆Wake-up When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, lean forward until you feel sore in your back. It will use up 10 calories.
◆Start with soup Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
◆An apple or more a day Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.
◆Talk it up Every time you use the cell phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.
21、The text is to encourage you to ______.
A．go on a diet B．give up your favorite foods
C．join a gym D．follow some habits of thin people
22、Which of the following ways is a good choice to become thin?

24、The text is most likely to be read ______.

B
Making friends is a skill like many other skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends，you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.
Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activities.
Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short，too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers，such as a new classroom，walk tall and straight，look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to，say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with
that
person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.
25．The best title of the text may be________.
A．Friendship B．How to Make Friends
C．Meeting New People D．Facing the Unknown
26．You can’t make friends if you________.
A．take some actions B．go to where there are people C．avoid meeting people D．won’t start a conversation 27．Friendship is based on________.
A．self-confidence
B．meeting more unknown people
C．more talking and smiling to people
D．taking from and giving to people
28．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Making friends needs practising.
B．Making friends needs to be more active in starting a conversation.
C．When meeting someone，make him feel nice and starting a conversation.
D．Before making friends with someone，judge if he’s too this or too that.
C
In the book The Best Little Girl in the World, Kessa has a serious eating disorder (进食障碍) called anorexia nervosa. But she is not alone. Many people have this eating disorder.
In the beginning of her story, Kessa is a normal 15-year-old. She is good at many things, especially dancing. She has danced for many years and loves it. One day her dance teacher tells her to continue eating right, but maybe
lose a few pounds. Once Kessa hears this, she takes things too far. Instead of cutting down on snacks and junk food, she decides not to eat at all. She does not eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. She begins losing weight and becomes slimmer (更加苗条的) and slimmer. But she loses weight to a point where she is unhealthy.
As her poor eating habits continue, her parents start getting as much help as possible to cure (治疗) their beautiful daughter. But it is just as hard for Kessa’s paren ts to deal with her disorder as it is for her. Everyday she exercises to lose more pounds and plans what and when she will eat. Her parents try everything, but Kessa decides not to have any fat on her body.
Kessa’s doctor and parents finally take her to th e hospital. She is now so thin that she can hardly walk. There, she is given good care.
In the rest of the book, Kessa goes through a lot of trouble in order to cure her eating disorder. This book, I think, can help to prevent people from doing this to themselves. It shows the trouble that people go through just to be slimmer, and all the terrible things they must experience to be cured. It is a book I think every teenager should read.
29. What does Kessa do to lose weight?
A. She stops eating.
B. She eats less junk food.
C. She has three small meals a day.
D. She dances many more hours a day.
30. What do we know about Kessa’s eating disorder?
A. It is caused by her dance teacher.
B. It’s too serious to be cured.
C. It makes her suffer a lot.
D. It’s an unus ual illness.
31. The book mentioned in the text is mainly about _____.
A. how to cure eating disorders
B. the importance of eating right
C. a girl’s fight against an eating problem
D. why so many people have eating disorders
D
Kids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.
Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books，long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words.
What a tragedy！We had their attention，they were listening，they were participating，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.
We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)．Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching，they are completely into the learning.
My boys built a small 9-hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.
If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9-hole golf course，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something，I try to relate it back to something they have built，experienced，
or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know.
An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.
32. What can we learn about kids' attitudes towards science from the first three paragraphs?
A. Kids think they are born to work as scientists.
B. Younger kids begin to learn science on purpose.
C. Older kids often link science with boring things.
D. Children's taking an interest in science is a tragedy.
33.By building the small golf course，the writer's boys learnt about all of the following things EXCEPT________.
A. speed
B. momentum
C. biology
D. agriculture
34.If the writer had forced the boys to build a small golf course，they might have _______.
A. asked her some related scientific concepts
B. made a better golf course than the one they had built
C. asked their friends to help them with the work
D. got bored and refused to follow the writer's directions
35. In which part of a newspaper is the article probably included?
A．Architecture B. Education C．Health D. Sports.
