“ I’d like to be at a healthier weight , ” a friend told me . “ But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym .” Many people feel that way—that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost . Don’t lose hope ! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money .
First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “ diet foods . ” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping , 90% of the food I bought was ingredients . Very few things were preprocessed(预处理的). Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food . That’s a bad thing .
Quick foods like boxed “ just add hamburger ” meals have had the fiber removed to make them faster to prepare . Take a look at the label on that box . It often has low numbers listed under “ fiber ” because fiber takes longer to digest . If the low fiber meal is digested , the result is that your body begins to store fat . Besides , your body is short of nutrients(营养物质). You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating .
And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable . If not , the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it . However , these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health .
What’s the answer ? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive , low nutrition , processed foods . Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food —and it will cost less , too .
1.People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think ________ .
A.they had too much diet foods |
B.they didn’t make a detailed plan |
C.they have no time to do exercise in gym |
D.they can’t afford diet foods and to exercise in gym |

A.fresh | B.delicious | C.healthy | D.simple |
4.The author suggests in the text that people should ________ .

B.eat more processed foods |
C.cook food for themselves |
D.choose cheap ingredients |

②="Paragraph" 2 ,…⑤="Paragraph" 5)
A.①/②③④/⑤ | B.①②/③④/⑤ | C.①②③/④/⑤ | D.①/②③/④⑤ |

We human beings haven’t been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.
Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.
Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.
1.The text calls on us to__________.
A.keep animals at home B.protect the environment
C.protect the endangered animals D.know more about the balance of nature.
2.Why do people kill animals?
A.Animals cause many serious problems.
B.They kill animals for something they need.
C.Animals destroy their natural resources.
D.They kill animals to protect the environment
3.The example that farmers killed hawks shows that__________.
A.there were too many rats and mice
B.hawks are the most important in the nature
C.animals are good food resources
D.every kind of animal is important in nature

Some Helpful Tips for a Happier You
I've been one of sad people before. It wasn't easy. But fortunately, I was able to get out of it in one piece. I want you to experience that too. Here are some simple tips that I found very effective and useful in finding my own kind of happiness. 1.
·Exercise whenever you get the chance
2. It's more likely that you won't feel happy if you're having breathing problems when you're climbing the stairs, right? Bum those fats away and live a healthier and much happier life! Your happiness is not going to be served on a silver platte(毫不费力地). You've got to work for it and, give it your all.
·Embrace the “real" you
I love the LEGO Movie because it emphasizes the importance of being happy with who you truly are. This is a very important thing to remember when you're in pursuit of happiness. 3. You don't need to be the same with another person just to feel good. You can be happy just by being you.
· Avoid expecting anything from anyone
As pessimistic as this claim might sound, learned that there are some people out there who just won't give you a hand when you really need them to. 4.
If a friend or a loved one is constantly disappointing you then stop hoping for them to get their act together. Instead, do the work and feel satisfied with what you've accomplished.
·5..
Stay too long and the four corners of your room will only tum you into a gloomy version of yourself. Go outside and feel the sun. Indeed, the Internet is a wonderland filled with useful information, crazy people and your everyday drama but there's more to life than sitting in front of your computer screen.
A. One of the funny things about us people is that we complicate our own lives.
B. Hopefully, you'll be able to put them to good use.
C. Your physique (体格) has a lot of effects on your mind.
D. Put effort into the things you can control

Officials in a remote Russian city have drawn up a list of practical tips for locals on how to survive encounters (相遇) with bears, after growing numbers have wandered into the streets in search of food.
Officials in the city of Syktyvkar drew up the guidelines to guide the local people, after several bears were caught sight of in the city, going hungry after a heat wave shriveled their usual diet of nuts and berries.
The guide warns that city people there should stay calm and stand still if they meet with a bear. “Speak to the bear in a firm voice” and “Don’t turn your back on it,” it adds. In the worst case, if the bear attacks, the person should also be ready to attack, the guide says. “Shout angrily at it and look it straight in the eye,” the guide advises. “Bears have started coming into the areas where people live more and more often,” the city officials said in a statement. “Any encounter with a bear is unsafe for humans, so our task is to do all we can to prevent such accidents.”
In September, a bear attacked a 25-year-old man in a central street of the city, wounding him in the neck before he managed to run away, police said. “Three or four people who met with brown bears have been recorded recently,” the head of the hunting department in the regional agriculture organization, Alexander said.
Officials have asked police to patrol (巡逻) streets close to wooded areas in the evenings.
Syktyvkar is the regional capital of the remote Komi region in northwest Russia. Its population is just over 230,000.

Some Ways to Have an Amazing Day
Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:
Be kind.
1. How often do you stop to talk to the people you encounter every day? Do you know the names of the people at the bank, the grocery store, or restaurant? One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet. Take a moment to learn a little about them.
2.
I avoided saying “Stay Busy” because sometimes we can fill our day with meaningless activities and feel busy but then at the end of the day we look back and realize we accomplished nothing. A great way to stay productive is to look at the things you would like to accomplish today, this week, this month, etc. and then plan some time to work on each of them.
Look for ways to serve.
I truly believe that giving meaningful service to other people is the greatest key to our personal happiness. It may be just a smile and a “hello”. 3. It may be just a phone call to tell them “thank you for being a friend.” When we serve other people, we develop personal joy.
Find a purpose.
The happiest people have one or more big “life goals”. 4. When we have a big goal that we feel passionate about we become more excited to work on that goal every day.
5. When you give yourself the pop quiz at the end of the day, you will be ready to say you did everything you
could.
A. Keep learning new things
B. Make the most of every day
C. Stay productive all the time
D. Try to do more in your everyday life
E. It may be helping them with their work
F. It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them
G. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product or learn a new hobby or profession.

A team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.
"Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance," Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.
In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.
They found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, freinds and neighbors.
In another experiment, the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.
The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group (对照组) watched a 10-minute clip (电源片段) of the Seinfeld television show.
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants' intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called 'intellectual' activities for the same amount of time," Ybarra said.
The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
1.The underlined word "boosting" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A.improving | B.decreasing | C.preventing | D.training |
2.Which is not included in social interaction?
A.Having a talk with a neighbor. | B.Attending a birthday party. |
C.Watching TV at home alone. | D.Calling your classmates |
3.What's the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?
A.To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence. |
B.To find out what is real social interaction. |
C.To learn how much time is needed for social interaction. |
D.To show the function of people's cognition. |
4.Which of the following questions may be asked in the social interaction group in the experiment?
A.What does the author want to show us? |
B.Do you like living in a big city or a small one? |
C.Which word can be used to fill in the blank? |
D.What is the main idea of the second paragraph? |
5.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Intellectual exercises improve memory. |
