Probably over half of Americans are overweight in different degrees, a fact most newcomers quickly notice. This is because of a diet that is high in fat, sugar, and salt. In the South, much food is fried or flavored with fat.
You will see many television commercials about dieting and exercising, indicating the serious concern people have about their weight problems. Many Americans lose weight by restricted diets and much exercise as obesity is considered harmful to good health, appearance, and longevity(长寿).
Many Americans can afford to eat well and have jobs that do not offer much opportunity for exercise. The possession of cars also limits the amount of exercise most people get. It is therefore easy for Americans to put on weight, and many newcomers have found that the good food and lack of exercise can add pounds on them, too.
Generally, Americans hate being overweight, and some people—especially women and teenage girls—suffer from eating disorders. These disorders can become health-threatening or ever life-threatening and often require psychiatric treatment(精神病治疗). Even those who do not suffer from eating disorders often eat carefully to control their weight.
1.According to the passage, newcomers usually ______ because of the diet and lifestyle of America.
A. get used to it B. put on weight C. get unhappy D. afford to eat well
2.The best title of the passage is ______.
A. Americans Eating Disorders B. Americans Health Problem
C. Harmful Diet in America D. Overweight Problem in America
3.Why is it easy for Americans to put on weight?
A. Because they eat well and lack exercise. B. Because they have good jobs.
C. Because they drive cars very often. D. Because they suffer from eating disorders.

On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.
On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.
Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.
Since then, I've been elected vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.
It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.
Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.
1.The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.
A. he was unable to work out the puzzle
B. his schoolmates were unfriendly to him
C. he was not familiar with the new surroundings
D. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry
2.From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.
A. his home was far from the school
B. he got to school before classes began
C. he was fond of the school immediately.
D. he didn't know the right way to class
3.After his first week at school, the author ________.
A. was still not accustomed to the schedule
B. gradually adjusted himself to the new school
C. found high school not so challenging as he had imagined
D. ran for monitor of his class against three other students
4.According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in ________.
A. making more friends
B. getting more A's at school
C. being who he really is
D. joining in out-of-class activities

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20, 000 people who dug for gold, 4, 000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.
1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City？
A. Its business culture. B. Its small population.
C. Its geographical position. D. Its favourable climate.
2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？
A. Two-thirds of them stayed there. B. One out of five people got rich.
C. Almost everyone gave up. D. Half of them died.
3.What is the text mainly about？
A. The rise and fall of a city. B. The gold rush in Canada.
C. Journeys into the wilderness. D. Tourism in Dawson.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was the first time that my father had asked me to help him. By the time we finished, herring (鲱鱼) covered the bottom of the boat as deep as my knees. For the first time in days, my father seemed happy.
Then he looked at the western sky, and his smile disappeared.
They are called Northwesters. They're storms that sweep out of Canada hard and fast. No one can predict their arrival. All fishermen fear them.
“We're going back,” my father said.
He started the motor. We were only two miles out, but the shore looked to me to be as far away as the moon. Over the distant hills, black clouds ran toward us like wild horses. My father set a course directly for them.
We made it only halfway home before we met the storm.
The wind came first. It lifted the lake in whitecaps. The weight of the herring made us ride low in the water, and the waves broke over our bow(船头).
By the time the rain came, we'd put more distance behind us. Although we were now only half a mile from shore, the rain fell so hard that we couldn't see the land.
I was scared, but I saw my father sitting straight in the stern(船尾), holding the boat steady into the wind, and I felt hopeful.
I was starting to think we were going to make it. That's when the motor died. My father tried many times to restart it, but failed. I saw that the boat was coming about. I knew what that meant.
We would sink in no time.
"Grab an oar(浆), "he shouted above the wind.
We set the oars in the locks and began to pull hard. My father dug his oar into the water, bringing the boat around, bow into the wind again. With all my strength, I pulled on my own oar.
The wind pushed hard against us. We seemed to be fighting the anger of the whole lake.
