【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Retirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮喪), which makes life difficult for them.
Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1. knowing you're working for society, 2. getting admiration from your skills, 3. having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4. having people to socialize with, and 5. simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, there's a financial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.
Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.
Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, it's hard to get much done when you're depressed.
What can we do to overcome (克服) the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general: drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, it's probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, it's important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what you've gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. You've lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）B
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】如何克服退休期間的沮喪感。

（1）C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.因?yàn)樗羞@些，退休人員更可能感到沮喪。也就是“喪失信心”。故選C。

（2）B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中there's a financial loss, too.財(cái)政上的損失，可排除A項(xiàng)；a reason to get out of bed every day.每天起床的理由，可排除C項(xiàng)；having people to socialize with,可以社交的人，可排除D項(xiàng)。B項(xiàng)符合題意。

（3）C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第三句中because it can make people angry.因?yàn)樗苁谷松鷼�。可知劃線部分的意思是：使人之間的關(guān)系處于危險(xiǎn)狀態(tài)。因?yàn)橹挥嘘P(guān)系不好，才會讓人生氣。故選C。

（4）D主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段Retirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮喪), which makes life difficult for them.退休應(yīng)該是快樂自由的時(shí)候，然而，對一些人來說，退休帶來沮喪感，這會使生活艱難。再根據(jù)文章最后一句Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.告訴你這些故事能幫助你帶著完美和成就回顧你的生活和事業(yè)。也就是克服退休后的沮喪感�？芍狣項(xiàng)符合題意。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Dust on furniture may be bad news for waistlines (腰圍). But it's far too early to add dusting to a weight-loss plan. Dietary fats and other materials that make up indoor dust can send a signal to human fat cells, telling them to grow. That process, in turn, might slow the body's rate of burning energy. Such changes could add to any weight problems a person might have.
“We don't know what that means to long-term health and certain diseases yet,” says Heather Stapleton, one of the study's authors. But she notes that her team's findings also raise a question of whether pollutants in dust might play some role in the growing, global problem of obesity (肥胖).
Stapleton and her colleagues collected dust from homes and offices. Studies found that some materials in the dust could turn on a protein (蛋白質(zhì)) called PPAR-gamma 1. It's found in many human tissues. Turning this protein on can cause fat cells to grow. Researchers think this protein may be involved in obesity. But a second study now finds evidence that certain fats are mostly to blame. Cooking oils may send out some of these fats into the air, where they eventually find their way into house dust. Or, the authors say, the fats might enter house dust as part of the hair or skin cells shed (脫落) by people or pets.
“While the findings are amazing,” says Mitchell Lazar, another study author, “these findings need to be taken as very limited.” Indeed, he adds several cautions about how the findings should be understood. “For one thing, people eat these fats in foods all of the time. That is likely to be a lot more than would be consumed from indoor dust,” he said.
（1）What do we know about PPAR-gamma 1?
A.It comes from dust.
B.It leads to weight gain.
C.It can help get rid of dust.
D.It only appears in human bodies.
（2）What's the best title for the text?
A.Can house dust make us fat?
B.Why is it important to clean?
C.Anything to do to deal with dust?
D.What is the best way to lose weight?

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1）The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收銀員). When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex (復(fù)雜的) ways of using money.
2）Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. If you must say NO to a child's request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy cars for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3）
Begin at the grocery store(雜貨店). Pick out two similar brands（商標(biāo)） of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (無商標(biāo)產(chǎn)品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy another one with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for buying others.
A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B. The value of money
C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest
D. Permit the child to choose between them
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Tell your child why he can or can't have certain things
G. Wise decisions
