A long time ago people thought that the sun went round the earth. In some countries people even said that the sun was a god(神). They thought the god drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. Now we know the earth goes round the sun. It takes the earth a year to go a circle(圈) round the sun. Today men even know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us that the earth travels over a thousand miles a minute on its journey round the sun.

The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the moon but we know that no one can ever go to the sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it. The sun is three hundred thousand times heavier than the earth and more than million times larger.

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people．She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is．In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing．"If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed．" she says．With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer．"I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood．I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer．"

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical（自傳體的） and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement．Thoughts of her childhood inevitably（不可避免地） brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup（金鳳花）meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses．"I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood．I’ll never go back, "she said．"Never．When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said, “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work．And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”

1.What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.

B．It should be attractive to young readers.

C．It should be based on original ideas.

D．It should not include too much conversation.

2.In Mollie Hunter’ s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

A．Being poor in life experience.

B．Being short of writing skills.

C．The weakness of description.

D．The absence of a story.

3.What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?

A．She expected to become a writer.

B．She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

C．She didn’t have any particular life aims.

D．She didn’t respect her teacher’ views.

4.What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?

A．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.

B．To introduce Mollie Hunter’s works to a wider audience．

C．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers．

D．To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books．

If you like texting and are trying to lose weight, a new study found that using texting(發(fā)短信) to track diet and exercise habits may help you lose weight.

Previous research has shown that keeping food and exercise diaries improves the likelihood of success when you are using it to lose weight. Using a computer or a pen and paper to record information, however, can be a burden and cause some people to give up.

Duke University researchers said using text messages to track eating and exercise habits can save time, and increase the chances that people will stick with their weight-loss rules.

The study included 26 obese/fat women with an average age of 38. The women used daily texting as part of their weight-loss program. The text messages focused on tracking personalized goals, such as avoiding sugary drinks or walking 10,000 steps a day. Messages also provided brief feedback (反饋) and [Z-X-X-K]tips.

Every morning, the women received a text from an automated system that said, “Please text yesterday’s personal information of steps you walked and how many sugary drinks you had.” Based on the women's responses to the text message, the system sent another text with personalized feedback and tips.

After six months, the women who used daily texting lost an average of nearly 3 pounds, while another group of women who used traditional methods to keep food and exercise diaries gained an average of 2.5 pounds, according to the study, which was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

“Text messaging has become popular and may be an effective method to simplify tracking of diet and exercise behavior,” Dori Steinberg, who was responsible for this research, said.

Steinberg said, “Text messaging offers several advantages compared to other self-monitoring methods. Unlike web-based diet and exercise diaries, data in a text message can be entered quickly on nearly all cell phone platforms so it is very convenient to receive feedback. Besides, because of the limited number of words used in text messages, it saves time.”

1.According to the study, traditional methods _________.

A. are easier for people to lose weight

B. may cause people to give up losing weight

C. provide brief feedback and tips

D. are easy to track diet and exercise behavior

2.Which is NOT true about text messaging according to Steinberg?

A. It saves time.

B. It saves money.

C. It can be entered quickly.

D. It is easy to receive feedback.

3.What’s the best title for the text?

A. Texting helps keep healthy

B. Texting saves time and money

C. Texting provides brief feedback and tips

D. Texting can help you lose weight

4.What’s Dori Steinberg’s attitude towards text messaging?

A. Unknown. B. Negative.

C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.

I was stuck in O'hare airport on an extremely long weather delay, pacing up and down the waiting hall for some exercise, when I passed a wine bar for the twentieth time or so. But this time there was a young woman behind the piano, playing what I could only describe as absolutely beautiful classical music. She had not been there ten minutes earlier when I passed.

I sat down at an empty table for four very near the piano, and began to be warmed by her music and a bit by the wine! She played so effortlessly and with such beauty in every note. Her music immediately brought a huge smile to my face!

Soon, on a break, I thanked her and she told me that after a long day traveling, and now also facing long weather delays, she "just needed to blow off some steam." Wow! Her version of blowing off steam was a gift to get.

As I sat alone drinking my wine, absorbed in this young woman's celebration of her musical passion, two women approached my table and asked if they could join me. I invited them to sit and we immediately began sharing our love of music and celebrating the happiness the piano music was bringing us at that moment.

The two women and I began to talk about our travels, life journeys, and passions. Hearing that unbelievable piano music, and then meeting such interesting women, who generously shared with me their wisdom, perspectives, and feelings of love for each other, was truly joyous. Faced with an 11-hour travel day — to get what normally takes 45 minutes — could have been physically and emotionally exhausting. Rather, by accident of walking by a wine bar at the right moment, and having a couple of seats open at my table, my life was filled with joy.

I will cherish those moments for some time to come. This experience highlights (突出) the critical need in our lives to stop and listen to the music, to invite others to sit at your life table, to open yourself up to a stranger or two, sharing some of your deepest perspectives and experiences. Be open to noticing, absorbing, and also contributing to the joy around you!

1.What does the underlined phrase “blow off some steam” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Reduce anger.

B. Relax herself.

C. Make full use of time.

D. Breathe fresh air.

2.How long was the author’s travel supposed to take without weather delay?

A. 10 minutes.B. 20 minutes.C. 45 minutes.D. 11 hours.

3.How did the author feel about the experience in the airport?

A. Happy and meaningful.

B. Lonely but unforgettable.

C. Boring and meaningless.

D. Long and tiring.

4.The author writes the text in order to encourage people _______.

A. to make the acquaintance of strangers

B. to share your experiences with others

C. to communicate with others more often

D. to notice and enjoy the happiness around you
