Reading is really a good way to improve ourselves. 1. If you don’t believe me, please consider these reasons to read more books.

1. You will optimize your brain power.

2. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp（even in old age）.

2.3.

If you’re looking for entertainment on a budget, you can’t beat books. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices like the Kindle and re-selling websites like eBay, it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.

3. You will reduce stress and get into a good night’s sleep.

Exposing yourself to artificial light on your cellphone or TV reduces your body’s production of melatonin （褪黑激素）, which can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. 4. Just replace that with a good book, which is a much better sleep-friendly alternative.

4. You will change your life.

I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn’t have achieved so much in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer, business owner, and coach.

Do you have the desire to read books now?5.

A. You will entertain yourself at any time.

B. You will entertain yourself at a low price.

C. The more books you read, the better your life will be.

D. This shouldn’t come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart.

E. I hope these reasons encourage you to unlock your potential with the power of reading.

F. You should know that it is wise to keep a book in your purse or car at all times.

G. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed.

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技藝）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in zxx.k and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else.

2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

A. They were of the same dge. B. They worked in the same theater.

C. They were both good actors. D. They han similar charactertics.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Their belief. B. Their care for chileden.

C. Their success. D. Their support for each other.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend.

C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience.

科目：高中英語 來源：江西省九江市2016-2017學(xué)年高二下學(xué)期期末考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, or surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because taking them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

1.What does “gain comes without pain” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Losing weight is effortless. B. It costs a lot to lose weight

C. Diet products are free of fat. D. Diet products cause no pain.

2.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A. Diet products are cheap and healthy.

B. People enjoy paying for diet products.

C. Diet products are misleading people.

D. People are surrounded by “diet”.

3.Which is true about “psychological effect of diet products”？

A. People would hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.

B. People would pay more attention to their daily diet.

C. People would care about results instead of efforts.

D. People would try out varieties of diet products.

4.Why would diet products indirectly harm people physically?

A. Because they are over-consumed.

B. Because they lack chemicals.

C. Because they provide too much fat.

D. Because they lack basic nutrients.
