Air travel is such an everyday experience these days that we are not surprised when we read about a politician having talks with the Japanese Prime Minister one day, attending a meeting in Australia the following morning and having to be off at midday to sign a trade agreement in Hong Kong. But frequent long-distance flying can be so tiring that the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country, his digestion（消化吸收）in another and his powers of concentration nowhere---in short, he hardly knows where he is.
Air travel is so quick nowadays that we can leave London after breakfast and be in New York in eight hours, yet what really upsets us most is that when we arrive it is lunch time while we have already had lunch on the plane and are expecting dinner.
Doctors say that air travelers are in no condition to work after crossing a number of time zones. Airline pilots, however, often live by their own watches.
小題1:After a long air travel, a traveler _______.
A．finds himself in a different world
B．finds his brain apart from his body
C．finds himself in Hong Kong the following morning
D．has little sense about where he is
小題2:The sentence “Airline pilots often live by their own watches. ” means______.
A．they don’t trust others’ watches
B．they don’t change their watches
C．they make a living by their own watches
D．they do as they used to do
小題3:Doctors suggest the travelers_______?
A．should rest when they arrive in New York from London.
B．should work in good condition since they just finish a long journey.
C．rest in a place with good condition.
D．give up long journey since it makes them tired.

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(財富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
小題1: The writer thinks that________.
A．health is more important than wealth
B．work is as important as studies
C．medicine is more important than pleasure
D．nothing is more important than money
小題2:The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ______ .
A．without examining the patient
B．a(chǎn)fter he has examined the patient
C．if the patient doesn’t take medicine
D．unless the patient feels pain
小題3:The underlined part means “_____ ”.
he was feeling better than ever    B.  he wasn’t a healthy man
C. he was feeling worse than before   D. he will be well again
小題4:From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_____before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A．was a heavy smokerB． didn’t smoke so much
C．didn’t smokeD．began to learn to smoke
小題5:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.
B． The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.
C．The man thanked the doctor.

Recently a man came to me, because he was told that there is fluid(積液) around his heart. After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid, the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation. He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause, the fluid would return. At last, he searched the Internet to find a metaphysical healer(玄學(xué)治療師), and he found me.
The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends, whom he had known for over twenty years. This experience broke his heart. Not knowing how to “mend” his broken heart, his body created a “repair” by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.
Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving his friends. Months later, his hearts was mended and the fluid disappeared. He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.
The key is: to create a healthy body, you must be healthy not only in body, but also in mind.
To be mentally healthy, you need to build up strong relationships. Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons. It is important for building a support system that lifts your spirits. Even when you are alone, you will not feel lonely or upset. Strong relationships are not spaceships——they are not hard to build.
小題1:In order to cure his illness, which of the following ways did the patient try?
? taking many medicines           ? having an operation
? seeing a metaphysical healer    ? visiting different doctors
A．??B．??C．???D．????
小題2:The underlined word “It” in Paragraph5 refers to “________”.
A．a(chǎn) mentally healthy bodyB．a(chǎn) repaired heart
C．a(chǎn) network of loving personsD．a(chǎn) support system
小題3:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Loving others will keep you in good spirits.
B．Heart illness can be cured without operation.
C．Creating strong relationships will keep you healthy.
D．Spiritual health is necessary for physical health.
小題4: Which of the following views may the writer agree to?
A．Old friendship is easy to lose.B．A good friendship is a useful medicine
C．The best doctor is your own bodyD．It needs many efforts to build relationships
小題5:If this passage is continued with another paragraph, what would it be probably about?
A．How to build strong relationshipsB．How to protect your heart
C．How to keep healthy mentallyD．How to live a healthy life

Malnutrition (營養(yǎng)失調(diào))remains a serious problem for India. But a new study shows that India’s leading causes of death now also include diseases related to obesity （肥胖）such as heart disease.
India’s National Family Health Survey shows that more than twenty percent of Indians living in cities are overweight or obese. And in the northwestern state of Punjab, that is true for almost forty percent of women.
Aradhna Tripathi is a business professional in New Delhi. She said, “ Eating is the most important thing in any Indian household and how you show your love and gratitude(感激) for a person is through the kind of food you serve him. And the kind of lifestyle we are leading is one of the reasons why we have the number of obese people increasing every day.
But Aradhna Tripathi says she has decided to lose weight. Her mother and grandmother are also diabetic(患糖尿病的). In fact, the International Diabetes Federation says India is now the diabetes capital of the world. Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans. That means obese Indians are even more at the risk of diabetes than other people.
Doctor Anoop Misra at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi says the risk of diabetes is crossing social and economic lines. Five years ago, he says, obesity and diabetes were limited to India’s richest people, but now things have changed.
But Doctor Misra is hopeful that the spread (蔓延，傳播)of obesity can be slowed. And he says it must start in schools by giving all Indian children the same instruction on physical activity and diet.
The World Health Organization says China is also moving up in obesity rates. The estimate (估計) has reached about five percent countryside and as high as twenty percent in some cities.
小題1:What is this passage mainly about?
A．Obesity has become a big killer in India.
B．Heart disease is troubling people in India.
C．People in India live a very unhealthy life.
D．Malnutrition remains a serious problem in India.
小題2:According to Aradhna Tripathi , one of the causes of the obesity problems is_________.
A．.the development of economy
B．the change of Indians’ lifestyle
C．Indians’ attitude （態(tài)度）towards eating
D．Indians’ attitude towards obesity.
小題3: What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?
A．Most wealthy people in India are overweight.
B．Five years ago, few people in India were overweight
C．Few poor people are diabetic for economic reasons.
D．Now even the poor in India suffer from obesity.

American farmers are raising five percent more goats for meat these days．
Goat meat is high in protein(蛋白質(zhì))and lower in unhealthy fat than many other meats．Even so，the industry is small compared to chicken，beef and pork. But immigration has brought more of a taste for goat to America from all over the world.
Experts from the University of Illinois offer some questions for people to consider if they are thinking about raising goats．
First of all，do you understand that there always has to be someone to care for the goats?
◆How much land do you have available? And how good is it? Poor ground may support two to four goats on half a hectare．Better grassland can support six to eight. If goats and cattle share the land，two goats can be added for each cow. The goats will eat weeds and other plants that cattle do not like．
◆Do you have buildings for the number of female goats you plan to keep during winter? An open，cold，dry barn is better than a closed，warm barn where the air is wet．
◆Do you have the equipment to clean barns（畜棚） and to harvest hay（草料） to feed your goats? Or will you get someone else to do it，or buy the hay?
The experts say a profitable business in goat meat may take three to five years to establish．And, of course, there are no guarantees .
小題1:On which section of a newspaper will this passage appear?
A．International AffairsB．Entertainment
C．AgricultureD．Culture
小題2:Which of the following is NOT a factor in making goat meat more popular?

A．32 cows and 64 goats．B．32 cows and 32 goats．
C．16 cows and 32 goats．D．8 cows and 16 goats．
小題4: What is the experts’ opinion about the goat-raising business?

The world hash’t seen a pandemic（流行疾�。﹊n 4 1 years，when the”Hong Kong”flu crossed the globe and killed about one million people worldwide．If H1N1 flu（甲型流感）reaches pandemic levels，what would happen next?
The outbreak of SARS in 2003 rang alarm bells as potential pandemics．Although it jumped the”animal-to·human”barrier，neither disease changed enough to enable human-to．Human infection．Strictly speaking，SARS did not become pandemics because it was too good at killing their hosts．For a pandemic，it needs to be able to maintain human-to．human contact without killing its host off．
”H1N1 flu is already a man-to-man disease，which makes it much more difficult to manage．
And H1N1 flu appears much more infectious than SARS．
But the WHO warns，it cannot say whether or not it will indeed cause a pandemic．According to experts，here’s what the world might see if there is another pandemic，based on past experience．
The disease would skip from city to city over an 18-to-24 month period，infecting more than a third of the population．World health Organization officials believe as many as 1．5 billion people around the globe would seek medical care and nearly 30 million would seek hospitalization．Based on the last pandemic and current world population，as many as 7 million people could die．Hospitals will become overcrowded；schools will close；businesses will close；airports will be empty．Business will become very bad，as people avoid as much social contact as possible．
Health facilities will become overrun with patients and there would be less-than-adequate staffing，as medical health professionals fall ill themselves and that would result in higher deaths．
The very young and very old will likely be the most susceptible（易受感染的）to the illness．Experts warn，much is still unknown about the current H1N1 flu virus and its severity and it is too early to say whether it will lead to a pandemic．Right now，the focus is on finding answers and controlling the spread．
小題1:How many kinds of disease is mentioned in the passage?
A．TwoB．ThreeC．Four D．Five
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．SARS didn’t change enough to enable sustained（持續(xù)的）human-to—human infection．
B．SARS was very good at killing its carriers．
C．A man with H1N1 flu can not infect another man easily．
D．Comparing SARS and H 1N 1 flu，SARS is not as infectious．
小題3:What can we know about the “Hong Kong” flu from the passage?
A．It spread all around the globe and killed lots of people．
B．It killed about millions of people．
C．It killed about one million people in Hong Kong．
D．Not the old but the young were susceptible to it and got killed．

This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups  40  seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there  41  fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that  42  parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I _43  this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate  44  healthy food, or are always allowed to choose  45  they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this  46  throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days  47  very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they  48  home, they sit in front of  49  or their computers and play computer games.  50  is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣),it also gives them time to eat more  51  food.  52  they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

Here’s a quick reminder to all of you when you get stuck in a moment. Yesterday I skipped breakfast because I got up late. Because of the busy school work, I forgot my lunch. When I was finally thinking of buying my lunch, a person in need asked me if I could spare him some cash, so I decided to give him some money.
Then later in the evening, I was heading home anxiously for dinner. However, I got a call from my mom. She said that she had to work late and wouldn’t be able to prepare dinner for me. Even though there was no food in the house, I told my mom not to worry as I would surely find myself something to eat.
While I was still processing this sudden set of changes in my food choice for the day, I passed a young man with a broad smile handing out samples of crackers(薄脆餅干) at the gate of a supermarket. He gave me a packet and then said, “How about you taking some more for school tomorrow?” In response to that, I returned a warm smile to him and opened up my bag. He gladly filled it. I was excited.
Whether you call it luck or fate, I just wanted to say that somewhere out there somebody came along carrying a pocket of hope in his heart and shared a piece of with me! Somebody out there will one day do the same for you.!
