The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors(年長者) have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?
·Finding：A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
·Step： Remove the 300 types of bacteria(細菌) in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.
2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?
·Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their
hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend.
·Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3. How often do you think about fighting germs?
·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.
·Step：  Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海綿）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is there’s too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.
Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.
Here’s how to preview.
Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want － or need － or read.
Skim － if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.
Here’s how to skim.
Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get a similar idea of what it’s all about.
小題1: How many skills does the writer introduce to help us in reading?
A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
小題2: What should you do if you read a long article according to the writer?
A．Read every word of it.B．Read all the details.
C．Pick up a few key words in each line.
D．Read the first and the last two paragraphs carefully.
小題3: If you read a simple article, which reading skill is better to get the general idea?

Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars (星球大戰(zhàn)) . Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colors. But they all have the same type of man-made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution （革命）are industrial(企業(yè)) robots that work in factories. Industrial（工業(yè)） robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren’t as friendly and bright as those you saw in  Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk”, sense objects(感知物體) in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect.
We may laugh at home robot today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths（波長） of light, and hear certain sounds. That’s because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robot may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans can’t. To understand what their sensing devices(傳感器) pick up is a hard job. Remember, man—made brains handle(處理)information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like—using only zeroes and ones.
小題1: From the passage, we can see that factory robots _________.
A．help to improve other types of robots
B．a(chǎn)re most active in industrial revolution
C．a(chǎn)re playing a more important role than other types of robots
D．a(chǎn)re the tallest type among robots
小題2: It seems that home robots are __________________.
A．more widely used than factory robots
B．less common than factory robots
C．capable of doing any kind of housework
D．free from making mistakes while performing(執(zhí)行) duties
小題3: Robots may deal with information that humans can’t. Which of the following is not one of the reasons?
A．They do not have so many limits as humans do.
B．They have man-made brains.
C．They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device.
D．They handle information by using zeroes and ones.
小題4:The development of robots suggests that _________.
A．science and technology are developing fast
B．people are interested in new inventions
C．machines are more capable than humans
D．robots can be very interesting
小題5: According to this passage, present home robots ________.
A．a(chǎn)re better than human in seeing and hearing
B．a(chǎn)re as capable as those in Star Wars
C．can pick up objects more quickly than humans
D．sometimes perform wrong actions

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重視) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
小題1: The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.
A．pleasedB．healthyC．excitedD．rich
小題2: Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.
A．get money and something they can’t buy with money
B．do what they want to do at any time
C．enjoy health which makes them work hard
D．take an active part in all kinds of activities every day
小題3: The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________.
A．think about getting a good jobB．think of presents they don’t like
C．often spend time with close friendsD．often spend time on entering the college
小題4: Many people find it happy to ___________.
A．remember the old days and troublesB．do some meaningful things for others
C．go shopping to buy some foodD．make much money and little success
小題5:The passage mainly tells us __________.
A．how to find happinessB．how to save happiness

Hip hop or rap (說唱) music started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s. People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.
Rapping in class.
Would you like to rap in class? Well, actually hip pop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school program called “Flocabulary” in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects. The words of the songs are just what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the good results it has had on exam marks. Mr. Lee, a teacher in a high school, said, “I’ve used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history! You can’t imagine how well they remember what I teach! We even try to write our own songs.”
Whose idea was Flocabulary?
Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word “Flocabulary” comes from the word “flow” and “vocabulary”. “Flow” is a rap word for “style”, or the way a rapper says the words of a song. “Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily. So, why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math, science and literature (文學(xué)). They are now used in schools with great success.
小題1: Rap music started ______ in the New York City in the 1970s.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.     . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
小題1:Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?
A．What can they do about this?
B．Where do the problems come from?
C．When did they have these problems?
D．Why do they have so many problems?
小題2:In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ______.
A．a(chǎn)nswer a questionB．give an example
C．introduce his friendD．share his experience
小題3:According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.
A．Laura’s teacher
B．the writer of the passage
C．a(chǎn) person with a problem
D．a(chǎn)n expert on students’ problems
