Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (營養(yǎng)) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白質(zhì)) ,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (維他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的個性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (壽命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.
If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.

In formal paragraphs you will sometimes see a sentence at the end of the paragraph which summarizes the information that has been presented.This is the concluding sentence.The concluding sentence is similar to the topic sentence.They are both general sentences.The concluding sentence can be written in two ways:
1.State the topic sentence in different words.
2.Summarize the main points in the paragraph.
You can understand concluding sentences with this example.Consider a hamburger that you can buy at a fast—food restaurant.A hamburger has a top bun,meat,cheese,lettuce(生菜),and other elements in the middle of the hamburger,and a bottom bun.Note how the top bun and the bottom bun are very similar.The top bun,in a way,is like a topic sentence,and the bottom bun is like the concluding sentence.Both buns “hold” the meat,onions,and so on.Similarly,the topic sentence and concluding sentence “hold” the supporting sentences in the paragraph.Let’s see how a concluding sentence might look in our sample paragraph about Wheaton:
My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features.First,it is noted for the Wheaton River,which is very wide and beautiful.Also,on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill,which is unusual because it is very steep.The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree.This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old.These three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place.
Notice how the concluding sentence,“these three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place”,summarizes the information in the paragraph.Notice also how the concluding sentence is similar to,but not exactly the same as,the topic sentence.
Usually,we begin a concluding sentence with “in conclusion’’ or “in summary”.Remember,not all paragraphs contain concluding sentences,especially if the paragraph is very short.However,if your paragraph is very long,it is a good idea to use a concluding sentence.
65.What does the author mainly intend to tell us in this passage?
A.How to write a concluding sentence.
B.What the top bun and the bottom bun are like.
C.Why his hometown is a famous place.
D.To use a concluding sentence in our writing.
66.Why does the author write about a hamburger?
A.Because he can buy a hamburger at a fast—food restaurant.
B.Because a hamburger has a top bun and a bottom bun.
C.Because the top bun and the bottom bun are very similar.
D.Because he wants to explain his main idea in another way.
67.The underlined word “noted” probably means“        ”
A.written down          B.famous                   C.noticed                   D.recorded
68.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A.A sentence at the end of a paragraph is the concluding sentence.
B.All paragraphs contain concluding sentence.
C.It is a good idea to use a concluding sentence in a long paragraph.
D.The concluding sentence is the same as the to pic sentence.
69.The underlined phrase “These three landmarks” here refers to       .
A.the Wheaton River,Wheaton Hill and my hometown
B.natural features,the Wheaton River and the Wheaton Hill
C.the Wheaton River,Wheaton Hill and the Big Old Tree
D.my hometown,Wheaton Hill and the Big Old Tree

Until a century ago, bloodletting was used to treat many ailments. Dating back to before the time of Christ, the treatment involved letting a type of worm, called a leech, such blood from the patient. People believed that there were liquids called humors in the body and that these determined a person’s personality and heath. Bloodletting, they thought, restored a balance to these humors.
At the time, little was known of the working of the human body, but people did know that the same liquid, blood, flowed throughout everyone’s body. They knew it was a vital substance, for loss of any great amount of it meant certain death. Thus, they concluded that all diseases were carried in the bloodstream, and that if the body was relieved of bad blood, heath would return. Bloodletting, however, came to be used as a cure-all. Woman were bled to keep them from blushing while members of the clergy were bled to prevent them from thinking sinful and worldly thoughts.
From the 11th to the 18th centuries, barbers were the people to go to if you needed to be bled. This custom explains the significance of the traditional barber’s pole: the white stripes stand for bandages and the red stripe for blood.
1. This passage is concerned about            .
healthy people and doctors                         B. bleeding as a cure-all
C. barbers of long ago                                      D. leeches with special jobs to do
2. The red and white stripes on barber pole symbolize         .
sin and redemption                             B. the bleeding form
C. women who are nurses                                  D. humors in the body
3. Why is bloodletting no longer considered a cure-all?
Because more is known about the workings of the human body.
Because leeches were outlawed
Because barbers were too busy cutting hair.
Because today we know that blood is necessary for health
4. In the second paragraph, the word “Thus” could be replaced by the word       .
A. When                        B. However                  C. If                            D. So
5. Ailments means           .
A. cures                         B. women                     C. disease                     D. medicines

Last week when I was sitting in my office, I heard an elderly lady talking on the phone about her husband. Her husband’s name was Ed. He dropped her off for her doctor’s appointment and was going to park the car and wait for her. She was so upset that she started to cry. I knew I should take action.
The lady told me her name was Helen and she called the restaurant she and her husband were going to have lunch at after her appointment to see if he was waiting for her there. She explained that she thought her husband parked the car in the parking lot and waited for her in the car but she didn’t find him there so she returned to see if he entered the medical building, but Ed was not there either. She regretted making her husband park the car alone since some signs of Alzheimer’ (早老性癡呆癥)had appeared in his behavior. I asked a few nurses to help look for Ed inside and out side the medical building according to Helen’s description. Then I offered to drive Helen to the restaurant to see if Ed was waiting for her there.
On arriving at the parking lot of the restaurant, Helen began to search for Ed’s car but she failed, which suggested Ed wasn’t there.

But we still needed to go on searching since he forgot where he parked his car! Fortunately, we didn’t have much difficulty finding it.

For many young people, the dream of a lifetime is to travel the world, explore different cultures and landscapes, taste new foods and flavors, and listen to the distinctive sounds of international music and languages.
Unfortunately, few young people have the money or freedom to make this dream come true. But if you can't go out into the world, surely second best is to let the world come to you. And, this year's Shanghai World Expo is exactly where that's happening.
From May 1 to October 31, there will be 194 countries and 50 international organizations on display at the 5-square-km Expo site. Seventy million domestic and international visitors are expected to visit it by the end of October. So, if you can go, you'll be surrounded by people with a wide range of backgrounds, nations, and cultures.
The Expo's theme is "Better City, Better Life". The United Nations estimates that, this year, 55 of the world's people will live in urban settings. This poses a dilemma (困境) for the world's cities: How can they accommodate such a large number of people in a sustainable (可持續(xù)的) way? Can they remain places of natural beauty and cultural importance?
Well, that's the challenge the 2010 Expo participants are confronting in a variety of ways. Japan will show off an "eco-breathing" structure to power its building with natural energy like sunlight, rainwater and wind. Germany's pavilion is named "Balancity", which is described as a "balance between innovation (創(chuàng)新) and nature, society and its individuals, work and recreation" (娛樂)
The first themed Expo was held in 1933, and since that time World Expos have featured a participatory and interactive style. The Shanghai Expo is no exception. Young people will have the opportunity to take part in forums to discuss themes like new technology, green energy and conservation.
A trip to the Expo is guaranteed to be much less expensive than a trip around the world. Still, the costs can add up. However, young people can save money by purchasing group or student tickets, which may be available at reduced rates. Many of the participating pavilions offer free samples and treats for the visitors. In addition to handing out free chocolates, the Belgian pavilion will give away a free diamond each week to a visitor who can answer questions related to Belgium.
If you're planning to head to the Shanghai Expo between May and October, don't forget to bring a camera, a notebook, and an open mind (and comfortable shoes). For nearly six months, representatives of the world are coming together to share their best and latest ideas for the future. It's sure to be a memorable experience.

C.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated (脫水)at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.
There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.
63. We need _____for a healthy diet.
A. fibre        B. food       C. water    D. Water and different foods
64. From the text, we know water can carry_________.
A.energy and fibre in our bodies     
B.fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies
C.sugar and fat out of our bodies
D.poisons and waste out of our bodies
65. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.
A.they think they are hungry and eat too much
B.they think they are thirsty and eat less
C.water has no calories
D.it makes them hungry
66. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A.Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.
B.Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.
C.Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.
D.The amount of water a person should drink in a day.
