12.In the United States,30 percent of the people have a"weight problem".To many people the cause is obvious(明顯的):They eat too much.But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.Going back to America of 1910,we find that people were thinner than today,yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically,walked more,used machines much less,and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies,moreover,have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average than thinner people.A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers shows that fat people eat less than slim(苗條的)people.
Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people.A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts:The more the man ran,the greater loss of the body fat.The more they ran,the greater increase in food intake.
Thus,those who ran the most ate the most,yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

32.Nowadays many Americans have the problem thatC.
A.they are too slim
B.they work too hard
C.they are too fat
D.they lose too much body fat
33.According to the passage,how many people in 900 Americans have a"weight problem"?D
A.150.B.300.C.600.D.270.
34.Is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that eating too much is the cause of a"weight problem"?C
A.Yes,there is plenty of evidence.
B.Of course,there is some evidence to support this.
C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D.We are not sure.

3.The fantastic life in space never quite goes away.Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep.Its position presents its own challenges.The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag.If you leave your arms out,they float free in zero gravity,often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet dancer."I'm an inside guy."Mike Hopkins says,who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station."I like to be wrapped up."
On the station,the ordinary becomes strange.The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars.It also has no seat.With no gravity,it's just as easy to pedal violently.You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want.But station people have to be careful about staying in one place too long.Without gravity to help mix air,the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼氣) has a tendency to form an invisible(隱的) cloud around your head.You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao,54,an American retired astronaut after four flights,describes what happens even before you float out of your seat."Your inner ear thinks you're falling.Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight.That can be annoying,that's why some people feel sick."Within a couple of days,truly terrible days for some astronauts'brains learn to pay no attention to the panicky signals from the inner ear,and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous.For instance,astronauts lose bone mass.That's why exercise is considered so vital (生死攸關(guān)的) that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule.The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy.NASA is worried about two things:recovery time once astronauts return home,and,more importantly,how to keep strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.
29.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache whenD
A.they circle around on their bikes.
B.they watch a movie while pedaling.
C.they use microcomputers without a stop.
D.they exercise in one place for a long time.
30.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days becauseC
A.their senses stop working.
B.they have to stand up straight.
C.their brains receive differing messages.
D.they float out of their seats unexpectedly.
31.One of NASA's mainly considers about astronauts isA
A.how they can remain healthy for long in space.
B.how much exercise they do on the station.
C.whether they can recover after returning home.
D.whether they are able to go back to the station.

17.College helps students dream of more than a salary
From the earliest days of our country,we have seen education as the foundation for democracy and citizenship.Yet high school students and families are increasingly questioning its value.Is investing in a college or university education still worth it?The answer is definitely"Yes".
From a financial point of view,a college education surely pays off.Students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not,well over a million dollars over a lifetime.Completing college makes an even greater difference to the earning power of young women.A 25-34 year-old female with a bachelor's degree can expect to make 70% more than if she had only completed her high school diploma.But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure?
College is a passport to different places,different times,and different ways of thinking-from learning new languages to considering the arc of human history to diving deep into the building blocks of matter.It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently,seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who inhabited other eras and other lands.
College introduces students to people they've never met before.One of the most important ways in which students learn at college is by interacting with people who are different from themselves.I recall one student who was admitted to Harvard but wasn't sure he would fit in at a school in the Northeast.However,one night he found himself debating the characteristics that define a genuine hero with other admitted students from around the world.Not everyone agreed,but the differences were what made the conversation exciting,and he realized how much he could learn at a place full of engaging people with a wide range of viewpoints.
College teaches students the virtue of slowing down.No one denies the value of speed,connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives on all three.But"thinking"is a word that is too often forgotten.College teaches students to slow down,to change information into insight and knowing into understanding.It nurtures critical thinking.The result is that students grow in knowledge and in wisdom for a lifetime.
To conclude,investing in a college or university education is well worth it.College opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics.But more importantly,in college students have acquired a new way of transforming the world,through the power of learning,analyzing,changing to adapt to what they have come to understand.
College helps students dream of more than a salary.

Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned.Still,many child-development experts agree that tying a child's allowance to chores can be a slippery slope.Here's why.

Susie Walton,master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. "Allowance is one thing.When it comes to chores,life skills,responsibilities-that's a whole different thing." says Walton.

Walton says, "When kids aren't doing a chore,you don't say, 'Well,there goes your allowance.' You're going to sit them down and ask what's going on. 'We are a team.We are a family.We've got to have them done.' "

Besides,by paying children for chores with an allowance,you'll also be sending the message that work isn't worth doing unless they're getting paid for it.

There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores.Most financial and child-development experts agree that it's a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores,such as washing windows,washing the car or helping to clean out the garage-especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial(企業(yè)家的)spirit to think outside of the box to earn money.

For parents who are concerned that their children won't learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn't tied to household chores,note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age,kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks.Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings.

"I really like having my own money," says Kevin,9. "It's up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now,or save and get the better toy." And that's a good lesson to learn at 9 years old.

No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood,kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money.

1.According to Susie Walton,parents should________.

A. teach kids the value of work

B. pay kids allowances after they finish chores

C. separate chores from allowances completely

D. tell kids to take responsibility for earning money

2.Which of the following would most financial and child-development experts agree with?

A. A kid's allowance should be tied to all the chores.

B. Kids can be paid allowances for their extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores.

C. Kids should be paid allowances to develop their entrepreneurial spirits.

D. Kids should be taught to think outside of the box.

3.What does the author think of Kevin's action?

A. He approved of what Kevin said.

B. He didn't give any opinion about Kevin's action.

C. He thought it proper for a boy of 9 to buy cheap toys.

D. He worried about Kevin's action.

4.What's the main idea of the text?

A. Parents should not give kids allowances.

B. Whether kids should do chores at home.

C. Whether kids should keep allowances for later use.

D. Whether parents should pay kids for chores.
