"Thanks" to the seasonal change, half of my class went down with colds and flu. You can hear coughs and sneezes everywhere, and the number of suffering students keeps climbing.
A close friend of mine, however, survived the fierce battle, despite the fact that he was surrounded by "victims" all day long. I am not surprised, because we've been friends for ages, and he seldom gets sick. The following is his advice.
1.____________.
A long-distance run in the morning is a good choice. It not only makes you energized for the rest of the day, but also helps to develop good health for the rest of your life.
2.____________.
Eat a variety of food every day, because different foods contain different nutrition: rice provides sugar, meat contains energy and fat, vegetables are rich in vitamins and cellulose, etc. Fruit and yogurt are also highly recommended, because the former is known for its Vitamin C, and the latter, calcium, which plays a vital role in the growth of our bodies.
3.____________.
Water is one of the most important components of our bodies, and is essential for our metabolism. We often run out of water without notice, so we should drink water even if we are not thirsty. Besides, when we get sick, we should drink more, because when our bodies fight against viruses, it causes us to lose water.
4.____________.
A person in low spirits is more likely to get sick. A happy mood not only helps people defend against viruses, but also is a best cure for most illnesses.
Follow the above rules, and you'll become as strong as a bull! Remember: diseases and viruses are not that frightening as long as you are well prepared.
A. Keep optimistic and active
B. Get plenty of exercise
C. Keep drinking water
D. Have a balanced diet

This past Christmas season, I went to visit my parents. During the visit, I found the letters written by my parents to each other during the war in the attic (阁楼). The letters were piled high, dirty and had not been touched for decades. I asked mother and father if I could take the letters back to my home. They agreed.
As I opened each letter, all of them beautiful with age, I discovered a new page in this private part of my parents' lives. My father served in the army. His letters were full of frontline (前线) descriptions, and they continued all the way through the battle. Each of my mother's letters was sealed (密封) with her lipstick kiss. Father wrote that he sealed his return letters by rekissing her lipstick kiss. How they had been missing each other! I finished reading six months of the letters and discovered there were at least eleven months missing. Maybe they were lost forever.
Not long after our Christmas visit, Father became very ill and was in hospital. I went to the hospital to see him. As I sat by his bedside, he told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had meant to him when he had been so far from home.
Later that evening, Mother and I revisited the attic in search of the lost letters. Finally we dug them out of Mother’s old college trunk (皮箱). The next day was Valentine’s Day, and we went to the hospital. At my father's bedside, I showed him an old envelope. His curiosity was aroused. When he carefully opened the letter, he recognized it and his eyes were filled with tears. He read the love messages that had been delivered years before to my mother in a quavery (颤抖的) voice. This Valentine’s Day, we were lucky that we had everything.
1.Where did the writer find the missing letters?
A. In the hospital. B. At her father's bedside.
C. In a trunk. D. In her own house.
2.How did the writer’s father feel when he saw the letter?
A. Curious. B. Touched.
C. Regretful. D. Interested.
3.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Christmas Gift B. My Parents
C. Love letters D. The Good Old Days

Does your mood change with the seasons?
Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. 1.They eat more and gain weight. They have trouble sleeping. They can’t think clearly.
Here are some ways you can beat the winter blues:
Get out in the sun. Some experts say that winter blues happen because we get less sunlight in the winter than we do in other seasons. Some say that the decrease in sunlight can make us feel sad.2.
Get some exercise. A walk or other exercise will make chemicals called endorphins (内啡肽) flow through your body. Endorphins are natural “feel good” chemicals.
3.Avoid having too much sugar. If you are eager for sugary foods (like cookies or candy), it may be a sign that you need more protein , like meat, chicken, or fish.
Avoid holiday stress. Cut back if you have too many things to do. Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself.4.Get some rest. Studies show that most teens need about nine hours of sleep each night. The average teen, though, gets only about six or seven hours of sleep per night.
Get help. Be cautious if you feel sad all the time and the feeling won’t go away.5.
Talk to an adult who you trust or get help from a doctor.
A. Eat more healthy foods.
B. Choose different foods in season.
C. Don’t be so busy that you get tired.
D. Those people sometimes feel sad for no reason.
E. You may have a bigger problem than the winter blues.
F. Getting extra sunlight each day can help brighten your mood.
G. A regular pattern of sleep is the most important thing to keep.

At the end of eight grade, our class went to Washington, D.C. For a group of 14-year-olds, this was a big deal!
The first day was so tiring; we could hardly remember where we were and what we were seeing. The next morning, we were off to see monuments (纪念碑)，starting with Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson. We walked along the paths through trees. Then the Wall came into view—the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
As I moved slowly closer to the Wall, I heard a bagpipe（风笛）in the distance, which seemed to show respect to the lives lost in the jungles of Vietnam .
We continued walking and felt surprised at the number of names carved in the black stone. I was determined to find a soldier with my last name, but my hunt was stopped when a man caught my eyes. He was kneeling(跪着) at the Wall, a single rose at his feet. His head was bowed and he was rubbing his fingers over one name. I thought how sad he was, and then moved on .
After a few minutes I found one with my last name, but my eyes returned to the kneeling man. He was still rubbing his fingers over the same name. He never knew I was watching him, lost in deep sorrow. It was time for me to leave the kneeling man and the Wall. On the way home, I couldn’t help thinking of the kneeling man and his sad face. I wasn’t sure of the effects of war before, but at that moment I realized how much that man suffered from losing his loved one. Maybe he was the only one of so many families who experienced the same .
I never knew the full effects of war until I saw that man. I only know about war from history classes. The kneeling man taught me more about war and the effects it has on people than any history book .

When my friend went to Europe last summer, instead of snapping photographs of the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower or Stonehenge, she brought back 32 rolls of ... Cathedral(大教堂的) ceilings. Ceilings. For the 10 years I’ve known her I had never suspected that she was this passionate about stained glass.
Still one of the best things about such pictures — despite their obvious narrow appeal — is that they can’t help but tell us a great deal about the people who took them.
So I shouldn’t have been surprised when I got the roll of film back from my 5-year-old son’s first camping trip. I opened the envelope, naively expecting to see pictures of the nightly campfire, the sun setting over the forest, and possibly even a deer or two.
Instead, I saw an off-center picture of tennis shoes. Not even his tennis shoes, mind you, but a pair someone had lost and left in the cabin. Mystery shoes. And that’s not all.
As I went through the stack, I found that my son had also taken a picture of his sleeping bag, a penny he found in the gravel next to the car, a leaf, an orange sock, a close-up of his father’s ear, a burned hot dog, his thumb, a piece of gum, and many other similar things.
There was barely one sign of nature in the whole stack. I couldn’t help thinking that if he’d wanted pictures of assorted junk, it would’ve been cheaper had he spent the weekend in our back-yard.
AT LEAST that is what I thought until I showed the photographs to my ceiling-snapping friend, the mother of three teenagers, who said simply, “There’s nothing wrong with these.”
But of course, this is just the type of answer you’d expect from someone who photographs ceiling.
Then she told me about the time her daughter went to Yosemite Valley and returned with rolls of photographs of the hotel, restaurant, and gift shop. She also told me about the time her son took his camera to a Major League Baseball game and returned with 24 pictures of cloud formations.
I had a feeling she was just trying to make me feel better.
Then again, to a 5-year-old boy, finding a penny is more exciting than seeing a squirrel. And why would he waste good film on something like, say, some endangered water buffaloes, when he could take a picture of cool tennis shoes? Or his shiny new green sleeping bag?
Face it: Things like beautiful sunsets and campfires can’t compare to a bag of extra-large marshmallow.
So I did what any good mother would do: I marked the date on the back of the pictures and slid them into our family vacation photo album — right after the five pages of ice sculptures I took last year on our cruise to the Bahamas.
1.Who might have taken a picture of the back seat of the family car in his or her trip mentioned in this passage?
A. The author’s friend.
B. The author’s son.
C. The author.
D. The author’s friend’s daughter.
2.The author changed her mind on her son’s picture taking because______ .
A. her friend persuaded her to do so
B. her son’s pictures finally struck her
C. she realized the truth by herself inspired by the surrounding examples
D. it suddenly occurred to her that she herself had also taken unique pictures before
3.What can we infer from this passage?
A. Different people perceive the world from different angles, which may vary according to their age, gender, life experiences and so on.
B. The author’s friend is a better mum in terms of educating children.
C. The author will educate her son to take pictures of nature instead of some boring things.
D. The author will take vacation pictures of different kind from her past ones.
