The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌). Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat ? Here are some comments on the website.

Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒絕給予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have ---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won’t change my habit. I am going to have bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I fell like it.

Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking: I don’t think so. According to the WHO 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I’ll take the chance.

Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.

Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者). So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.

1.What if Bill has to change his habit ?

A. He’ll feel unhappy.

B. He’ll live a pleasant life.

C. He’ll go on a diet.

D. He’ll become a vegetarian.

2.What does Tim think about eating processed meat ?

A. Too risky. B. Fairly safe.

C. Popular worldwide. D. Very unhealthy.

3.What may be Helen a response to WHO’s warning ?

A. Caring little about it.

B. Eating whatever she likes.

C. Varying the diet and doing exercise.

D. Taking a diet without meat.

4.Who have the most similar viewpoints ?

A. Bill and Tim. B. Tim and Helen.

C. Helen and Van. D. Bill and Van.

In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive(競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.

In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-­year period.

How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than Competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value)．Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower­-quality products and services.

In our study, higher ­performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.

Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.

1.What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Increase the speed. B. Get an advantage.

C. Reach the limit. D. Set a goal.

2.The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A. spending more time and performing worse

B. spending more time and performing better

C. spending less time and performing worse

D. spending less time and performing better

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.

B. How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.

C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.

D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.

4.Which could be the best title for the text?

A. Improve quality? Serve better.

B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.

C. Reduce time? Move faster.

D. Need speed? Slow down.

Top reasons to become a teacher

Teaching is a special calling. It is not a job well-suited to everyone. In fact, many new teachers leave within the first 3-5 years of teaching. However, there are many rewards that come with this career.

Student successes

1. Seeing a student who didn’t understand a concept and then learned it through your help can be very rewarding. And when you reach that student that others have written off as being unteachable, this can truly be worth all the headaches that come with the job.

Keep learning

2. I remember my first year teaching history. I thought I knew what I was doing. However, the students’ questions just made me dig deeper and learn more.

Daily humor

Sometimes it will be silly jokes you make up as you teach that might get a laugh from your students. 3. And sometimes students will come out with the funniest statements without realizing what they’ve said.

4.

As a teacher, you will have a couple of months off in the summer. Further, you typically get a few weeks off during the Spring Festival, which can be a huge benefit and provide much-needed rest time.

Job security

5. If you are willing to work hard in any type of environment, you’ll find that you can always get a teaching job.

A. Stay younger

B. School holidays

C. The world will always need teachers.

D. This is often what drives teachers to continue.

E. Sometimes it will be jokes that kids share with you.

F. You will never learn a topic better than when you start teaching it.

G. During the holidays, teachers can often choose to travel around and just relax themselves.

Jessica was just a girl in one of my classes. I never knew much about her except for that she was strange. She didn’t talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in summer. She was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the rest of us thought about her. Like the rest of my classmate, I didn’t really want to get closest to her. It was only when we did their chemistry project together that I begin to understand why Jessica dressed the way she did.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed（診斷）with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (點(diǎn)), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .

A．He was new to the class

B．He was tired of literature

C．He had an attention disorder

D．He wanted to take the task home

2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A．He made a great invention.

B．He had good sight.

C．He gave up reading.

D．He learned a lot from school.

3.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A．Angry. B．Impatient.

C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．The disabled should be treated with respect.

B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

D．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

American government suggests that children and teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But less than half of children and just 10% of teens meet these suggestions. What’s the deal?

It’s reported that about 44million US kids participate in organized sports(such as baseball, softball, soccer).But a new study says just one-quarter of kids get the government-recommended amount of exercise when they show up for team practices. The study, published online last month in a medical journal, says younger kids and boys do better than teens and girls.

The study looked at 200 kids aged 7 to 14 who played on soccer, baseball and softball teams. The kids wore sensors to measure their activity during practices.

During each practice, kids averaged 30 minutes of downtime(停工期). “It is not clear how much physical activity is provided by youth sports practices,” say the California-based authors of the study. “Much of the time may be inactive, such as receiving verbal instructions and waiting for turns.”

What’s a parent or coach—or kid—to do? The authors of the study suggest increasing the number of practices, extending the time of practices and changing it up(加快)during practices. For example, the coach could give each player a ball at the same time. Rather than focusing on one player’s skills, it’s best to get the whole team moving.

But, the study says, the bottom line is that team sports aren’t enough exercise. For a child to meet the US physical activity suggestions, the kid will have to do more than just join a team. Exercise is also necessary during breaks, during physical education class, after school and even on the way to school.

1.According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Only 10% of the teens can’t meet the suggestions about physical activity.

B. About 11 million US kids can get enough amount of exercise in team practices.

C. The new study was published on a famous magazine last month.

D. Teens do better than girls and younger kids in the new study.

2.The underlined word “extending” in Paragraph 5 means .

A. giving support or confidence

B. becoming smaller or fewer

C. making something longer or larger

D. causing to move or go quickly

3.The passage is probably written for .

A. physical teachers and parents

B. doctors and nurses

C. class advisers and researchers

D. kids and headmasters

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Necessary for Kids to Exercise

B. Kids for Fun?

C. How to Keep Fit

D. Not Enough Exercise?
