4．It was at her company's annual picnic that my mother met my father，and he walked her home．The next week，from his home in Chicago，he sent her a post card：Remember me please．Do be calling you one of these days．--David．
She still has that post card．I am not sure what made her save．Though he already had his heart set on her，she hadn't chosen him yet，at least not consciously．
My father，a salesman for a big electronics company，often told us while we were growing up，it was blind luck that he was at the picnic that day．He was in town to meet with clients and happened to stop by the branch office that Saturday morning to make a call．It was the manager of a local radio station where my mother worked as a writer．"Dave!Glad you're in town!"he said，and invited him to come right over to their annual picnic．Later my mother dated him when he was in town．Eventually，one night a few months later，she woke her mother and told her she was going to marry Dave．A few months after the wedding，my father was transferred east．They settled in New York，in the house where I grew up．
Sometimes I think how time gets us together and puts us in a certain place where we're faced with one option or another．We leave behind while others live by the choice we made．We could have lived full of different passions and joys，different problems and disappointments．Sometimes，particularly when I came home late to a sleeping house，my husband and daughter curled around each other．I think about the lives we would not have had if choices had brought us to a different place．And I tremble at the thought that I might have missed this life，this man，this child，this love．

15．My name is Luca Lamoariello．People always ask me how I learned 11 languages．Here I would like to answer this question，taking English，F(xiàn)rench and Dutch （荷蘭語） as examples．
English
English was already a world language by the time I turned 10 in 1991．I struggled at first．Grammar explanations confused me，and the material was boring．Then my parents hired a private English tutor（家庭教師）．She set me on the right path to learning and，most importantly，learning to love language．My aunt bought me The Hardy Boys for my birthday and after that there was no looking back．I started reading a lot of books in English．The combination of reading books，watching movies every day and talking to my teacher once a week for two years worked wonders．By the age of 15 I was fluent in English．
French
I started learning French around the same time as I started learning English and faced many of the same problems．That all changed when I found that I could watch French TV．I started watching two hours every day after dinner．By the age of 15 I was fluent in French．A few hours of television a day did more than the previous three years in middle school．
Dutch
I met Lotte，a Dutch girl，while camping in Northern Sardinia．She didn't speak much English and we both became frustrated at our inability to communicate，so I decided to learn Dutch．Lotte and I lost touch later，but the language stayed with me．People insisted that Dutch was a completely useless language-they all speak English-but I stuck to it．I read books and magazines that my friends would bring back from the Netherlands．I knew I would use the language sooner or later．Now I speak Dutch every day with my Dutch housemate．Speaking Dutch has become easy，effortless and interesting．
To those who ask me why I like learning so many languages I always reply："I don't live to learn languages； I learn languages to live a better life"．

24．What was the most important effect of the private English tutor on the author？C
A．She explained the rules of English．
B．She often talked to him in English．
C．She led him to love language．
D．She taught him how to learn English．
25．Who inspired the author to read books in English？D
A．His English tutor．B．His friend．C．His parents．D．His aunt．
26．How did the author learn French？A
A．By watching French TV regularly    
B．By reading books in French．
C．By living in France．
D．By watching many French movies．
27．Why did the author learn Dutch at the beginning？C
A．To work with in the Netherlands．
B．Because it was used worldwide．
C．To communicate with a girl．
D．Because many people spoke Dutch．

9．Most teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night．But many teens have trouble sleeping．Lack of sleep can affect sports performance，increase our chances of getting sick，and may be linked to weight gain in some people．How can we get sleep we need？Here are some ideas：
●（16）A You've probably noticed how much running around kids do-and how soundly they sleep．Take a tip from a little child and get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day．Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed．Just don't work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up．
●Avoid alcohol and drugs．Lots of people think that alcohol or drugs will make them relaxed，but that's not the case．Drugs and alcohol disturb sleep．（17）C
●Say goodnight to electronics．（18）D You'd better make your bedroom a tech-free zone，at least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out．
●Keep a sleep routine．Going to bed at the same time every night helps sleep．（19）E So you can relax by reading，listening to music or spending time with a pet．
●Expect a good night's sleep．（20）F Say，"Tonight，I will sleep well"several times during the day．It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle yoga poses before bed．

A．Be active during the day．
B．Do some extreme sports．
C．Either of them will make a person wake up at night．
D．Expert recommend using the bedroom for sleep only．
E．Creating a set bedtime procedure can improve this relaxation effect．
F．Instead of worrying that you won't sleep，remind yourself that you can．
G．You can consult a doctor who will give you suggestions on how to sleep well．

1．Eat a variety of foods．You may have a favorite food，but the best choice is to eat a variety． 
（17）F
 Taste new foods and old ones you haven't tried for a while．Some foods，such as green vegetables，are more pleasing the older you get．Shoot for at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day-two fruits and three vegetables．
2．Listen to your body．What does it feel like to be full？When you're eating，notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full．Sometimes，people eat too much because they don't notice when they need to stop eating． （18）E
 And over a period of time，overeating can lead to unhealthy weight gain．
3． （19）A
What's screen time？It's the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs，playing video games，and using the computer．The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities，the less time available for active stuff，like basketball，bike riding and swimming．（20）G
