The whole body is covered with skin.The surface of the skin is dead(like the hair and the nails),but it is made from a living layer(層)just under the surface.The outside dead layers wear off(磨損)all the time,with new ones replacing them,and the body forms a totally new skin every three weeks.
The skin protects the body from the outside world and it passes information from the outside.It helps to keep water in the body and to keep the body at the same temperature.Becteria(細菌)can’t get in through the skin unless it is damaged.
If the weather is cold,the blood vessels(血管)in the skin squeeze down,or contract(收縮),so that as little blood as possible comes near the surface.This means that less warmth is lost to the outside.This makes the skin look pale,or even “blue”.At the same time,the hairs on the skin are pulled upright by tiny muscles.
When it is hot,the blood vessels expand(擴大),or get wider again,to allow plenty of blood to run near the surface of the skin.This helps the body to lose heat,and the skin may look red.At the same time,the sweat glands(汗腺)produce more sweat,which cools the skin.
If your skin has ever been numb(麻木的),you will realize how important the feeling from the skin is.Nerves(神經(jīng))in the skin are sensitive(敏感的)to heat and cold,sharpness,hardness and softness,wetness and dryness and pain.If one is not able to feel these things,which can act as warnings,he is likely to be burned,cut or hurt in other ways.
The colour of the skin depends on special colour cells(細胞).These are just below the top layers of the skin.They are needed as protection from some harmful ray of the sun.The stronger the sun is,the more important it is to have a dark skin.People with pale skins may “tan”(曬黑)in the sun.This happens when the body produces extra colour cells in the skin for protection.In the sun,the skin produces a vitamin(vitamin D)which is needed for strong bones.

A.Our hair and nails are dead like the surface of the skin.
B.There is skin all over our body.
C.The skin of our bodies will be completely different in three weeks.

C.the water in the body
D.the temperature of the body
小題3:Bacteria will get in through the skin______.
A.when one’s skin is numb

We recently treated our new-adult son and his girlfriend to a seafood feast, near Cocoa Beach, Florida.

“Mr. Goldsmith!” our waitress ran out of the dining room waving a receipt at him, “Thank you.”

          One dark and stormy night, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia, hoping to get shelter for the night.
          The clerk, a friendly man with a beautiful smile, explained that there were three conferences in town. “All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said, “but I can't send a nice couple like you into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.” The couple agreed.
          As the elderly man paid the bill the next morning, he told the clerk, “You are the kind of person who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’Il build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh.
          Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the elderly man, asking the clerk to pay him a visit. The elderly man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of the Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a reddish stone one with watchtowers thrusting up to the sky, and told the clerk that it was the hotel he had just built for him to manage.
          That wonderful building was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. And this young clerk whose names was George C. Boldt never foresaw the return of events that would lead him into the manager of one of the world's most attractive hotels.

          第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題,每題2分,滿分40分)
          閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳答案,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
          Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents
          in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people
          when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is
          entering a new stage of an aging society.
          An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population.
          “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
          As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country’s total working population will decrease after 2015.
          China is not the only country getting old. More that 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.
          However, experts said that China doesn’t have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
          56.An aging society is a society that        .
          A.less that 10% of its population is over 60
          B.10% or more of its population is over 60
          C.there are four old people in a family
          D.most of its population is over 60
          57.If China enters an aging society,      .
          A.there will not be enough labor resources
          B.the family planning policy will be ended
          C.everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people
          D.China will have a highly developed social security network
          58.What does Cai Chuang mean by saying “China is getting old before becoming rich.”?

          Will it matter if you don't have your breakfast ? A short time ago , a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.
          The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast , he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
          The result is opposite to what some people think . Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight . This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch . They will gain weight instead of losing it . You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.
