As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight. So I do know something about exercise. Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try.
Salsa (薩爾薩舞)
I try to maintain my weight through dancing. Dancing improves my coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories. I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive(有表現(xiàn)力的). But I have not yet to start classes, because classes are very expensive, and I cannot find a dance partner.
Ping-Pong
Ping-pong is the national sport of China, so how could I know nothing about it?
My father is a ping-pong fan, and a really good player. He's won several informal (非正式的) matches. My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off. I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest. The reason is because I can’t find a good partner. Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring.
Tae Kwon Do （跆拳道）
I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity. There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book. Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman’s crying. I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped(拍打) her face. No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong. Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent.
That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself.
小題1:We can guess that the girl is _____ according to the passage.
A．too thinB．a(chǎn) little fatC．carefulD．brave
小題2:Why doesn’t the girl want to go to learn salsa?
A．The dance is too difficult to learn.

C．She has no time to join the classes.
D．She finds it sexy and expressive.
小題3:She is interested in ping-pong because ________.

C．her father plays it well
D．she finds a good partner
小題4:She has made up her mind to learn Tae Kwon Do mainly because______.

“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence  People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4. Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
小題1:The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life” means “______” in this passage.
A．No one can live a hard life
B．No one can live without difficulty
C．No one can live alone
D．No one can live on an island
小題2:Some of us feel it not easy to make friends because ________.
A．we are afraid to make bad friends
B．we are too shy to take the first action
C．we feel worried that we won’t be able to keep our friends
D．we feel sure that we already have enough friends
小題3:We can learn from this passage that ________.
A．John Donne learned something from Dale Carnegie
B．friends are always friends
C．few people bought Carnegie’s book
D．the writer of this passage agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie
小題4:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Carnegie’s book?
A．Say “excuse me” before you ask.
B．Don’t visit your neighbor too often.
C．Think more about others.
D．People enjoy hearing their own names.
小題5:The best possible title for this passage should be “________”.
A．How to Make Friends
B．A Famous Book
C．About Friendship
D．John Donne and Dale Carnegie

A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning.
One day, when he was walking along the shore（海岸）, he saw a young man moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide（潮汐）is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted（賦予）with the ability to make a difference.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
小題1:What was the wise man used to doing every morning?
A．Taking a walk on the shore.
B．Watching the young man dance.
C．Meeting up with the young man.
D．Helping the young man pick up starfish.
小題2:Why did the young man throw the starfish into the ocean?

C．To feed some fish.D．To save starfish.

B．People living on the shore always try to save starfish.
C．Each of us has the ability to make an important effect on something.
D．People can come up with some good ideas when walking on the shore.

Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it. It is true. People usually begin their talks with“Isn’t it a nice day?”
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly(幾乎不) agree with each other. One man may say,“Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.”Another man will say,“No, it’s going to be fine tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for
something to tell him it’s going to rain; he won’t believe(相信)anything else. When friends have a travel, they are sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly.
Almost(幾乎)everyone listens to what the weatherman says, but he doesn’t always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes mistakes. Still(仍然), he probably(或許)comes closer to being right than anyone else.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself(DIY) trend(趨勢(shì)) in the U.S. continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “And we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decide to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living.
