( D )
Your body works 24 hours a day. It’s always building and repairing, feeding and cleansing itself. Its goal is to be ready for your every movement, breath, and thought. The quality of your life depends on how well your body works. And how well your body works depends on how much energy it gets. Energy comes from the food you eat. Food contains nutrients that your body needs for growth and energy.
By eating a balanced diet, your body gets the six important nutrients it needs. Minerals（礦物質(zhì)） are nutrients that build bones and teeth. Minerals also form red blood cells and other substances. Water aids digestion and waste removal. Carbohydrates（碳水化合物） give your body its main source of energy. Two carbohydrates are sugars from foods such as fruits and vegetables and starches found in rice, potatoes, and bread. Fats help build cell membranes（膜）. Proteins repair and grow body tissues（組織）. Finally, vitamins help your body use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
The United States Department of Agriculture（USDA） has created a nutritional food pyramid（金字塔）. It shows the daily number of servings you should eat from five food groups. The food pyramid has four levels. The base of the pyramid is the largest level. It contains the bread, cereal, rice, and pasta group from which you need six to eleven servings. The next level has two food groups: vegetables and fruits. The USDA recommends three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruit. The third level also has two groups: the milk, yogurt, and cheese group and the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts group. You need two to three servings from each of these groups. The top of the pyramid is the smallest level. It contains fats, oils, and sweets. These foods have few nutrients, so eat them sparingly（有節(jié)制地）.
小題1:What is the main idea for this passage_________?
A．Eating a balanced diet gives your body the energy it needs.
B．The top of the pyramid is the smallest level.

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning(中毒). Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release（釋放）poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.
小題1:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Food when poisoned can make people sick.B．Food poisoning means death.
C．Food poisoning comes in varieties.D．Food poisoning can be serious.

There is an English saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into (調(diào)查) laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial (有益的).
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which reduce both stress (緊張；壓力) and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics (診所), in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
小題1:The underlined phrase “took the saying seriously” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A．treat the saying as importantB．treat the saying as interesting
C．treat the saying as dangerousD．treat the saying as funny
小題2:The main idea of the passage is _______.
A．laughter and physical exercises have similar effects on the human body
B．smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C．pain can be reduced by laughter
D．laughter is the best medicine
小題3:Doctors hold laughter clinics _______.
A．to give better condition to their patients
B．in order to improve patients’ health
C．to make patients smile
D．to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

Lots of people are unhappy with their present weight, but most aren't sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines and on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic (現(xiàn)實(shí)的) for you. Being healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you. The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian（營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)家）.

Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic（流行�。� of sleepiness in the nation．“I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr．David．Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest．
The beginning of our sleep-deficit（lack）crises can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago．From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night．“The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark．” By the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock．“People cheat in their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr．David．“They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally energetic. ”
Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researches say, is the complexity of the day．Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programs．“In our society, you’re considered dynamic if you say you need only 5．5 hours’ sleep．If you’ve got to get 8．5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition．”
To determine the consequences of sleep-deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier．“We’ve found that if you’re in sleep deficit, performance suffers,” says Dr．David．“Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate．”
小題1:What is the main topic of the passage?
A．The history of people’s sleeping patterns．
B．The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times．
C．Research on the causes and consequences of sleep-deficit．
D．The minimum of our sleeping hours．
小題2:Which of the following is Dr．David’s opinion?
A．People’s metal power suffers if they are lacking in sleep．
B．Some people can remain energetic with only 6．5 hours’ sleep a night．
C．If they get 8．5 hours’ sleep, people will be full of drive and ambition．
D．People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don't．
小題3:People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9．5 hours a night because _______．
A．they had no electricity
B．they knew what was best for their health
C．they were forced by their parents to do so
D．they were not so dynamic and ambitious as modern people are
小題4:The major cause of sleep-deficit of modern people is _______．
A．the endless TV programs in the evenings and the internet
B．the heavy work load of the day
C．the sufficient energy modern people usually have
D．loud noises in the modern cities
小題5:What does the word “subjects” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Person or thing that is being discussed or described．
B．Branch of knowledge studied in a school．
C．Person or thing being treated in a certain way or being experimented on．
D．Any member of a State apart from the supreme ruler．

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory（記憶力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過(guò)錯(cuò)). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.
小題1:The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______.
A．his father or mother may have a poor memory
B．he does not use his arm or legs for some time

小題3:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.
B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.

D．A good memory comes from more practice.
小題4:Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.

Your body, which has close relation with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own. So it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment(營(yíng)養(yǎng)).

The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries. So, too, are health problems linked to being overweight.
The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods. It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.
Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization’s South Pacific office in Suva, Fiji.He says many of the imported products lack nutritional value.
Temu Waqanivalu said: “In some of the places, you’d be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water. I think that represents the kind of off­environment we’ve created that doesn’t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.”
And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.
The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island countries. The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory（領(lǐng)地）of American Samoa. Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent.
In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries. The WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition.
Diabetes（糖尿病）rates are among the highest in the world. Forty-seven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes. So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand.
By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States, a country that has its own problems with rising obesity.
Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders. Dr. Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.
小題1:The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.
A．the change of society
B．the change of eating habits
C．the change of life style
D．lack of exercise
小題2:Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to buy them because they are ________.
A．cheapB．popularC．tastyD．convenient to get
小題3:How many people living in Pacific island countries have health disorders?
A．1 million.B．4 million.C．6 million.D．10 million.
小題4:The percentage of diabetes rates in American Samoa is ________.
A．optimisticB．steadyC．worryingD．low
