Honesty is a valuable characteristic in a world full of false promises. Today, we re exploring five qualities of honest individuals.

They’re not concerned about popularity contests. 1.Instead, they simply are who they are and other people can take it or leave it. They stand up for their beliefs. Honest people don’t go looking for fights, but they also aren’t afraid to speak their mind. 2.While this may annoy managers concerned with bureaucracy( 官僚主义), most people will respect honesty and be impressed with those willing to stand out against the group mind.

3.Honesty requires thick skin. Not all people love hearing the truth, and when you give out a fresh dose of reality, some might be likely to throw it right back in your face. Honest individuals may fall victim to the insecure defensiveness of others, requiring them to be thick-skinned.

They have close friendships. Individuals who are honest often have rich, meaningful friendships. Others know that their honest friend won’t complain about them behind their back, and will instead face any issues head on. 4.

They are trusted by peers (同龄人). Individuals　 will seek the aid of honest peers, knowing they can count on them for true, objective advice. However, others will just lie and tell you the story you want to hear. 5.But there are many times that the difficult truth is what individuals really need to hear. Others trust honest individuals to tell them what it really is, without covering the truth.

A.They do this to avoid any injured feelings.

B.They never try to fight managers’ decisions.

C.The number of friends they have doesn’t matter.

D.They are seldom upset or hurt by unpleasantness.

E.This level of trust allows for deeper, healthier relationships.

F.They will state their opinions even when they are against the majority.

G.Honest people don’t think about what others think of them all the time.

Good health is the most valuable thing in the world. When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.

All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, “It’s easy to say, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleasures that I can’t do without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that, you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.

1.According to the author, ________ our biggest enemies of health.

A. too much drinking is　　 B. too much smoking is

C. eating too much is　　 D. we ourselves are

2.“I can’t help myself” means ____________.

A. I can’t do it myself　　 B. I must ask someone to help

C. I can’t control myself　　 D. do help me, please

3.This passage mainly tells us________.

A. terrible diseases and so on

B. to enjoy pleasures after a busy day

People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program, the more they eat, according to a new research.

It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Hirsch explored the effect of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring the number of potato chip eaten.

Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted while they watched programs by late- night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were also given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsh found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.

“If you can concentrate on how the food tastes you’ll eat less because you’ll feel full faster,” Hirsch said in an interview all the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Toronto. “So if that’s the case, let’s look at the opposite. What if you’re distracted? If you’re distracted, in theory then , eat more.”

Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense and taste sensation, which typically results in weight gain became the brain does not know when it should stop eating.

The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus(丘脑下部)where the so-called satiety (饱足)center is located, tells the body whether it is hungry or full. If it is stopped tricked the result can be changed in eating patterns, he said,“People who cook spaghetti all day don’t feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day,” said Hirsch. “By being exposed to a smell all day long it’s tricking the hypothalamus.”

Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory taste and smell, in addition to internal body changes, signal satiety. But when distracted, a person does not pay attention to either the body’s sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.

Many studies have linked obesity to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing. “If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring,” Hirsch said.

1.What does the underlined word “glued to” in Para. l mean?

A.away from B.performing in C.close to D.lost in

2.How did Hirsch carry out the research?

A.By watching people eat. B.By interviewing people.

C.By counting how many chips people eat. D.By observing how people watch television.

3.What do Hirsch’s words in Para.6 mean?

A.They think spaghetti unhealthy. B.They have smelt spaghetti enough.

C.They don’t like eating spaghetti. D.Spaghetti has affected the hypothalamus.

4.What do we know from Hirsch’s study?

A.Inactivity is likely to make people fat.

B.Entertaining shows are the main causes of obesity.

C.The more concentration on food taste, the less you’ll eat.

D.The ventromedial nucleus can tell whether one is hungry or full.

5.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.People eat more when watching TV. B.It is not good for our health to eat chips.

One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we chuck away is e-waste — electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.

Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.

However, there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many founded around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.”

As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting (提取) these materials from electronic gadgets. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 element, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.

These projects make total sense — collections of e-waste for recycling are “stagnating (停滞不前) or even decreasing” according to Ruediger Kuehr, of the United Nations University And in countries where there is no legislation, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.

1.According to the passage, electronic items are thrown away because ________.

A.they are totally useless

B.we have to recycle them

C.they will pollute our rivers and oceans

D.it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them

2.What is leading to the rise in e-waste?

A.Growing trend for repair events.

B.E-waste generating cleaner energy.

C.Our being hungry for new technology.

D.Mining valuable metals in electrical items.

3.What do we know about e-waste?

A.E-waste used to be the fastest growing waste stream in the world.

B.Tremendous amounts of e-waste are thrown away each year.

C.We can’t find the solution to the problem of c-waste.

D.Land-filling allows us to reduce e-waste.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Solving the Problem of E-waste

B.How to Stop Damaging Our Planet

C.Saying No to Throwing Away Things

D.How to Collect E-waste for Recycling
