Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(財(cái)富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.       

Speaking about health, I can’t help telling you a funny story.  

An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.    

He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.  

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.  

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

1.The writer thinks that     .

A.        health is more important than wealth

B. work is as important as studies

C. medicine is more important than pleasure

D. nothing is more important than money

2.. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do     .

A. without examining the patient

B. after he has examined the patient

C. if the patient doesn’t take medicine

D. unless the patient feels pain

3. The underlined part means “    ”.

A. he will be well again            B. he wasn’t a healthy man

C. he was feeling worse than before   D. he was feeling better than ever

4. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man      before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A. didn’t smoke                  B. has smoked so much

C. was a heavy smoker             D. began to learn to smoke

You'd be forgiven for thinking that running after children each day would leave parents in the best shape of their lives.But a study has found that the mothers and fathers of young children are more unhealthy than their childless peers(同齡人).

Mothers with young children are heavier and eat more calories and fatty foods,and consume more sugary dinks than chidless women,scientists said.And both sexes are less active than those in their age group without children.

Parents often choose quick,easily preparesd foods that are high in fat and calories,and by choosing these foods they may in turn serve them to their children,forming a cycle of unhealthy diet.

Dr.Berge,one of the study authors,said:“This isn't a study about blame,this is about spotting a very high-risk time period for parents that doctors should be aware of ,so they can offer solutions(解決辦法).”

According to the study ,mothers ate more fatty foods and drank about seven sugary drinks weekly,equal to about four chidless women.They also had an average of 2,360 calories daily,368 calories more than women without children,With that many calorise,women that age would need to be active to avoid to avoid gaining weight.

Fathers ate about the same amount of daily calories childless men and both had an average boby-mass index(指數(shù)),but fathersgot less physical activity—about five hours weekly ,compared to almost seven hours among chidless men.

The study has several limitations-there's no data on how many women reccently had babies.Ther's also no information on the number of single parents,who likely face diet and exercise challenges.Sarah Kriger,an American dietician who works with new mothers said some of the mothers may have had postpartum(產(chǎn)后)depression,which might affect their eating and exercise habits.

1.What does the author mainly aim to tell us in the passage?

A.Childless couples live a much happier life than those with children.

B.Mothers will be unhealthy because of the postpartum deprdession

C.Couples of young children eat more fatty foods and lead unhealthier lives.

D.Fathers tend to eat high calorie foods because they should run after thrie children.

2.The underlined part“in the best shape”in the first paragraph means that a person  .

A.is busy and tires

B.has a most harmonious family

C.enjoys the most happiness

D.is in the most healthy condition

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about mothers with children?

A.They are less active

B.They eat unhealthy foods

C.They may feel unhappy aftre having babies

D.They may lose their jobs aftre having babies

4.What Dr.Berge says in Paragraph 4 suggests that    .

A.Parents should pay more attention to their chidren

B.doctors should do something with parents'high-risk time period

C.the study has drawn attention of doctors and young parents

D.parents should not be blamde for having an unhealthy lifestyle

5.We can learn from the last paragraph that      .

A.the result of the study result in aan unscientific way

B.the study was carried out in an unscientific way

C.single mothers are surely facing quyite different situation

D.postpartum depression will help mothers to lead a healthier lirf

閱讀理解。
     "People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that
would help deal with climate change," the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
     Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that
people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
     Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel's chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change
was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems
associated with raising cattle and other animals. "It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to
changing means of transport," he said.
     The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production ac counts for nearly a
fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants
(反芻動(dòng)物), particularly cows, emit a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global
warming agent than give off CO2.
     Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he
was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. "I have a little bit and
enjoy it," said Torode. "Too much for any person is bad. But there's a bigger issue here: where the meat
comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we'd save a huge amount of carbon
emissions."
     Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural
Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not
regulate. "Eating less meat would help, there's no question about that," Watson said.
     However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been
unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and
reduce them. "Some ideas were contradictory," he said. "For example, one solution to emissions from cattle
and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very
young science and our view is ther are a lot of simple solutions being proposed."
1. What is directly related to global warming?
A. Consumption of meat.
B. Growth of cattle.
C. Methane from ruminants.
D. Processing of meat.
2. Who holds a view opposite to the others' in the passage?
A. Rajendra Pachauri.
B. John Torode.
C. Robert Watson.
D. Chris Lamb.
3. It is implied in the passage that _____.
A. we should try to keep away from cattle
B. ruminants should not be left outdoors
C. the meat industry will soon close down
D. we must do our duty to save the earth
4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Less meat, slower global warming
B. More animals, more greenhouse gas
C. Less imported food, better our environment
D. Greater diet change, smaller climate change
