How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else )．Registered dietitian Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient－dense foods，”she suggests，“foods that contain a multiple of nutrients.  For example，select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food，rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink，which contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient－dense ones are so superior，”she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life，it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only almost impossible to keep up the strength，they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in enough amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey，trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses，or make you superwoman is a fruitless search.“ As women，many of us are too concerned with staying thin，”she says，and “we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.”
“We need carbohydrates，protein and fat－they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match，the spark，for the fuel，”she explains.“ We need them all，but in a very different proportions（部分）. And if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless.”
小題1:From the first paragraph we know that working women________.
A．think cooking is especially complicated
B．do not share the same views with registered dietitians
C．a(chǎn)re busy and not interested in cooking
D．a(chǎn)re likely to eat healthfully
小題2:Orange juice is different from orange drink because________.
A．it contains only a small percentage of real juice
B．it is natural，nutritious and prepared from real oranges
C．it is largely orange－colored sugar water
D．it produces nothing but calories
小題3:In Paragraph 4，“a fruitless search” means “____”．
A．a(chǎn)n effort with no results
B．a(chǎn) search for a diet without fruits
C．a(chǎn) research on fruitless diet
D．a(chǎn) diet serving as medicine
小題4:Many women take it for granted，according to the passage that________.
A．a(chǎn) balanced diet can result in being fat
B．staying thin and healthy are both possible
C．lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin
D．vitamins are some kind of substitutions（代替物）for food
小題5:By saying “if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless”，the author means “________”．
A．carbohydrates，protein and fat are enough to support a human life
B．vitamins and minerals are almost of no value
C．carbohydrates，protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals
D．without carbohydrates，protein and fat，vitamins and minerals are of no use

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:A
小題4:D
小題5:D

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段第2行who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves。
小題2:推理題。根據(jù)第二段3,4行drink orange juice rather than orange drink，which contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water.可知橙汁比飲料更有營(yíng)養(yǎng)。
小題3:猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)上下文可知要找出一種能夠治病的食物，否則會(huì)讓你無功而返。所以A正確。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第2段最后一行“we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.”

A study led by Professor Mark Weiser of Tel Aviv University and the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Hospital has determined that young men who smoke are likely to have lower IQs than their non-smoking peers (同齡人). Tracking 18-to 21-year-old men enlisted in the Israeli army in the largest ever study of its kind, he has been able to demonstrate an important connection between the number of cigarettes young males smoke and their IQ.
The average IQ for a non-smoker was about 101, while the smokers’ average was more than seven IQ points lower, at about 94, the study determined. The IQs of young men who smoked more than a pack a day were lower still, at about 90. An IQ score in a healthy population of such young men, with no mental disorders(心理疾病), falls within the range of 84 to 116.
An addiction that doesn’t discriminate(歧視)
“In the health profession, we’ve generally thought that smokers are most likely the kind of people who have grown up in difficult neighborhoods, or who’ve been given less education at good schools,” says Weiser, whose study was reported in a recent version of the journal, Addiction, “But because our study included subjects with various socio-economic backgrounds, we’ve been able to rule out socio-economics as a major factor. The government might want to rethink how it arranges its educational resources on smoking.
Making the results more significant, the study also measured effects in twin brothers. In the case where one twin smoked, the non-smoking twin registered a higher IQ on average.
Although a lower IQ may suggest a greater risk for smoking addiction, the representing data on IQ and smoking found that most of the smokers investigated in the study had IQs within the average range, nevertheless.
In the study, researchers took data from more than 20,000 men before, during and after their time in the military. All men in the study were considered in good health, since pre-screening(篩選的)measures for suitability in the army had already been taken. The researchers found that around 28 percent of their samples smoked one or more cigarettes a day, 3 percent considered themselves ex-smokers, and 68 percent said they never smoked.
“People on the lower end of the average IQ tend to display poorer overall decision-making skills when it comes to their health,” says Weiser. He adds that his finding can help address serious concern among heath counsellors at grade and high schools.
小題1:The study led by Professor Mark Weiser shows that            .
A．the IQ of smoking males is lower than that of non-smokers
B．the IQ of smoking males is higher than that of non-smokers
C．the IQ of smoking males is the same as that of non-smokers
D．the IQ of smoking males is higher than that of female smokers
小題2:According to the passage, a smoking man’s IQ is most likely to be            .
A．101B．94 C．80D．120
小題3:What can be learned from the passage?
A．People in the military are more likely to become smokers than other people.
B．Most heavy smokers are found to have mental problems.
C．Socio-economic backgrounds have nothing to do with smoking behaviour.
D．People with lower IQs tend to be less good at controlling their addiction to smoking.
小題4:What is the meaning of the underlined part “An addiction that doesn’t discriminate”?
A．Smokers do not believe their IQ is affected by being addicted to smoking.
B．All people, no matter what their background, can become addicted to smoking.
C．Smoking is an addiction, and we must not discriminate against smokers.
D．The addiction to smoking is difficult to get rid of.

Most people agree that it’s important to have a sense of humour. Having the ability to laugh can help one overcome anxiety, and make better decisions in difficult situations. People with a well-developed sense of humour appear to be happier, and some are healthier as well. This suggests that having a sense of humour is good for you. Humourless people may find themselves being treated as a fool, and become anxious and upset.
A sense of humour also plays an important role in human relationships. However, not everyone has a sense of humour. People with developmental disabilities (發(fā)展性能力喪失) can sometimes have no sense of humour, or have a very strange one.
A number of factors affect a person’s sense of humour, with the age probably being the main one. Young children are often highly amused by simple jokes or shows, while teenagers prefer to enjoy the ironic (諷刺的) events. Educational level, culture, and religious faith also affect one’s sense of humour. While Christians, for example, may have a deep appreciation of jokes about the Bible, others may find them disrespectful.
Many people believe that a sense of humour is something that develops on its own, and that you cannot teach someone to understand why jokes, certain comments, situations or events are funny. However, things can be done to enhance one’s sense of humour. Children, for example, benefit from being told jokes and encouraged to laugh, although some children’s jokes might seem rather strange to adults. If you have children, try to encourage them to tell jokes and think about what makes things funny. And it will help them develop a sense of humour.
小題1:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A．explain what influences a person’s sense of humour
B．tell readers the importance of being healthy
C．explain how to make better decisions
D．tell readers how to understand jokes
小題2:What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 "enhance" probably mean?
A．Enjoy.B．Reduce.C．Improve.D．Prevent.
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following doesn’t influence one’s sense of humour?
A．Culture.B．Age.
C．Educational level.D．Family backgrounds.

In the face of tragedy(悲劇), you must of course let yourself feel: Cry without holding back, tremble with fear, yell out in anger, accept and follow your feelings. This is part of the wise approach to tragedy: The Upward Path – the feeling of emotions(情感), the acceptance of them, and the coupling of the emotional mind with wisdom. Along this path, you’ll take the experience – no matter how sad or upsetting – as a learning event, just as all other points on your journey will prove to be. While tragic, you must recognize this is still a chance for all involved to grow. You should let both sadness and joy, fear and courage, dark and light fill your world, and learn to find your steady, calm center in the midst of the opposing forces. This is the Upward Path. Use the event as a chance to gain balance and discover wisdom – the wisdom of love and of letting go, of non-attachment and non-resistance, and using this experience to eventually help others in need of guidance.
Being able to relate to others who have also experienced tragedy and inspire in them hope – of recovery, and of moving forward – is perhaps the greatest gift you can receive from tragedy. Turn the negative into positive, the pain into connection. After you’ve taken appropriate time to be sad, to feel your own pain, you should make it your work, your goal, your purpose to connect with others who need help. Show them how you’ve experienced feelings, achieved balance, and gained wisdom that you would never have otherwise had the chance to learn.
Feel, but do not Feed on tragedy. Rather, let it inspire you to go beyond the person who you were before. With demise comes renewal, so let this loss be also your rebirth. No matter how hopeless it seems, no matter how difficult this becomes, you have the power to transform yourself into someone greater than you ever knew you could be. 
小題1:When following the Upward Path, the person facing tragedy should _______.
A．free his emotions
B．hold back all his feelings
C．fill his world with positive ideas
D．give in to tragedy and all opposing forces
小題2:According to the author, the greatest gift one gets from tragedy is being able to _______.
A．seek solutions from othersB．understand and help others
C．stay calm and resist changeD．forgive others and move on
小題3:The underlined word “demise” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A．sorrowB．problemC．difficultyD．death
小題4:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A．a(chǎn)nalyze the causes of tragedy
B．tell people how to prevent tragedy
C．suggest a way of dealing with tragedy
D．encourage people to build friendship after tragedy

Why does the rate of heart attacks increase during the World Cup football finals? How can we help an overweight patient to lose weight? They’re just some of the topics covered in a new book by University of Sussex academics, which is helping student doctors to consider the importance of psychology in medical practice.
Psychology for Medicine is the first textbook of its kind, providing medical trainees and new doctors with all the relevant psychological knowledge they need. Previously, students had to refer to many different books for the relevant psychology.
The book, by Sussex psychologists Dr. Sussex Ayers and Dr. Richard de Visser, has been well received by fellow academics and medical doctors and was finished with the help of the students and staff of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. The students proofread（校對(duì)） the chapters, provided ideas for the content and even modeled for the photographs. The book provides a solid grounding in psychological study relevant to medicine, along with practical tips and advice for practice. One student, Simon Hall, drew cartoons for the book.
The study psychology is important for doctors for a number of reasons. Psychological and physical symptoms are highly related. Up to a third of patients will have psychological disorders, while physical causes are usually only found in around 15 per cent of people’s symptoms. In treatment, a lot of the effect drugs can be due to patients believing they will recover rather than the drug itself.
Dr. Ayers says, “The important thing about this book is that it’s applied science --- it shows why psychology is important to medicine and how we should use it. The book’s presentation is really important. It’s not just lots of theory, but full of tips and advice so that students can take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations.”
小題1:The book Psychology for Medicine is mainly written for ________.
A．scientistsB．overweight peopleC．patientsD．student doctors
小題2:What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The topics of the book.B．The comments on the book.
C．The contributors to the book.D．The characteristics of the book.
小題3:According to the text, the book Psychology for Medicine _________.
A．is a bit difficult to understand.
B．is mainly about how to lose weight.
C．included tips on training football players.
D．focuses on the importance of psychology in treatment
小題4:We can infer that the text is a(n) ______.
A．research reportB．introduction to a book
C．a(chǎn)dvertisement for a bookD．introduction to a psychologist

There is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?  
A．Laughter is good for health.
B．Laughter can make you become old quickly.
C．Laughter helps to reduce pain.
D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.
小題2:The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “         ”.  
A．delaysB．preventsC．increasesD．reduces
小題3:Why do doctors hold laughter clinics? 
A．Because they want to earn more money.
B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.
C．Because they want to improve their patients’ health.
D．Because they want their patients to laugh more.
小題4:According to the author, we should __________ in our life. 
A．laugh as much as possible
B．watch more funny films
C．smile all the time
D．spend time in the laughter clinics
小題5:What would be the best title for this passage?  
A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health.
B．Laughter clinics can help patients improve their condition.
C．Laughter can reduce the effect of pain.
D．Laughter is the best medicine.

For well over a thousand years, smallpox was a disease that everyone feared. The disease killed much of the native population in South America when the Spanish arrived there in the early sixteenth century. By the end of the eighteenth century, smallpox was responsible for about one in ten deaths around the world. Those who survived the disease were left with ugly scars on their skin.
It had long been well known among farmers that people who worked with cows seldom caught smallpox; instead, they often caught a similar but much milder disease called cowpox (牛痘) . A British doctor called Jenner was extremely interested in this, and so he studied cowpox. He believed that, by vaccinating (給接種疫苗) people with the disease, he could protect them against the much worse disease smallpox. In 1796, he vaccinated a boy with cowpox and, two months later, with smallpox. The boy did not get smallpox. In the next two years, Jenner vaccinated several children in the same way, and none of them got the disease．
News of the success of Jenner’s work soon spread. Vaccination soon became a common method to protect people against other diseases caused by virus, such as rabies (狂犬病), and vaccines were sent across the world to the United States and India.
It took nearly two centuries to achieve Jenner’s dream of getting free of smallpox from the whole world. In 1967, the world Health Organization (WHO) started a great vaccination program, and the last known case of smallpox was recorded in Somalia in 1977. The story of vaccinations does not end there, however. There are many other diseases that kill more and more people every year. Besides, many new diseases are being discovered. The challenge for medical researchers will, therefore, probably continue for several more centuries
小題1:Smallpox was so serious that _________________ by the end of l8th century
A．its death rate was up to ten percent
B．those who caught it were certain to die
C．one in ten people in the world died of smallpox
D．one in ten deaths in the world was caused by smallpox
小題2:Edward Jenner discovered that vaccination with cowpox could ____________.
A．make smallpox much milder
B．stop people from getting smallpox
C．protect people against any disease
D．prevent people’s scars after smallpox
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A．The first experiment with cowpox was made by a British doctor.
B．After 1977 smallpox disappeared around the world according to WHO.
C．Vaccination had existed among ordinary farmers before being discovered.
D．Vaccination can be used to protect people in the world against not only smallpox.
小題4:The author of the passage thinks that _________________.
A．vaccinations bring many new problems
B．vaccinations end the spread of diseases
C．there is a long way to go to fight against diseases
D．there is a long way to go to discover new diseases

For centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone's life as nothing．
Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example, you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organizations will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
The expression "give someone the cold shoulder" probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.
"Out in the cold" means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise——he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be.
小題1:When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by "_____"．
A．I give him the cold shoulderB．I think he is a cold-blooded man

If teens could reduce the salt they take in every day by 3,000 milligrams (mg), they would cut their risk of heart disease and stroke(中風(fēng)) greatly in adulthood, researchers say.
Based on the results of a computer modeling analysis, researchers found that a 3,000 mg reduction in sodium(鈉) by teenagers could reduce hypertension by 30 percent to 43 percent when they become adults.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition that may have no symptoms for years, but can eventually cause serious health conditions, including heart attack and stroke.
Other benefits over time as teens hit 50 years of age include a 7-12 percent reduction in coronary heart disease(冠心病), an 8-14 percent reduction in heart attacks, and a 5-8 percent reduction in stroke.
Fast food typically contains too much sodium. One bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos has 310 milligrams. Pizza is one of the biggest problems for teens when it comes to sodium, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics.
“The additional benefit of lower salt intake early is that we can hopefully change the expectations of how food should taste, ideally to something slightly less salty,” says Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, the lead author of the study and associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
“Most of the salt we eat is not from our salt shaker(鹽瓶), but salt that is already added in food that we eat.” she added.
小題1:Which is a benefit of a low sodium diet according to the text?
A．No risk of heart disease.B．Smaller chance of stroke.
C．Low blood pressure.D．Slightly more heart attacks.
小題2:According to the text, 3,000 mg less salt intake daily will reduce hypertension by ________ in adulthood.
A．7%-12% B．8%-14%C．30%-43%D．5%-8%
小題3:What does Dr Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo mean in the last two paragraphs?
A．A lower sodium diet can get teenagers used to less salty food.
B．A good eating habit can help teens have less junk food.
C．Teens should avoid pizzas and other salty foods.
D．We can add more salt from our salt shaker to the food.
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Teens Cutting Salt for Healthier Adulthood
B．Diet and Health
C．Sodium Brings Health Concerns
D．A Cause of Hypertension
