If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” Bell said.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Internal fat is of no importance.

B. Thin people may be fat inside.

C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.

D. Thin people don’t have diabetes.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.

B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.

C. People with heart disease all have internal fat.

D. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.

3.From the last paragraph, we can find that ______.

A. exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy

B. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim

C. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat

D. internal fat leading to disease has been proved

Many people believe that classical music has nothing to do with young people today. However, this issue frequently causes heated debate.

Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.

Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing it. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.

Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.

However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practice for hours. Nowadays, you don’t need to get aching arms from practicing. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.

A final point to bear in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras. This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!

Why would an animal kill itself? It seems a strange question, and yet it is one that has made some scientists curious for a long time. For there is a kind of animal called lemming（旅鼠）, that periodically killed themselves together, and no one knows just why!

The small creatures which live in the Scandinavian mountains, feed on a diet of roots and special insects and live in nests they dig underground. When their food supply is large, the lemmings live a normal and undisturbed life.

However, when the lemmings’ food supply becomes too low to support the population, a singular migration（迁徙）begins. The lemmings leave their nests in groups. Great numbers of them begin to travel across the Scandinavian plains, a journey that may last weeks. The lemmings eat everything in their path, continuing their long march until they reach the sea.

The reason for what follows remains unbelievable to naturalists. Upon reaching the coast, the lemmings do not stop but swim by the thousands into the sea. Most stay afloat only a short time before they tire, sink and drown.

A common theory for this mass self-killing is that the lemmings do not realize that the ocean is such a huge body of water in their cross-country journey, the animals must cross many smaller bodies of water, such as rivers and small lakes. They may think that the sea is just another such swimmable path to go through. But no final answer has been found to the strange happening.

1.The passage is mainly about______.

A. how lemmings find food

B. why animals kill themselves

C. the lemmings’ self-killing

D. the food supply in the Scandinavian mountains

2.A reason for the lemmings’ self-killing might be that they______.

A. go mad from a lack of food

B. hope to find fish for food

C. decide to reduce the population

D. think they can cross the sea

3.Why are scientists curious about the lemmings’ behavior?

A. Because they are the only animals that live in Scandinavia.

B. Because it is very unusual for animals to kill themselves.

C. Because of the amount of food they can eat on their march to the sea.

D. Because they can gather together in such huge numbers.

4.The underlined word “singular” means______.

A. unusual       B. single       C. wonderful      D. common

It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do fess well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.

To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.

At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.

The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.

1.What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?

A. The large number of poor families.

B. The disapproval from children.

C. The late start of the program.

D. The long period of time.

2.What do we know about the “Missouri” program?

A. It focused on the children’s first school teachers.

B. It helped the children return to the same home.

C. It made the children improved in many aspects.

D. It gave the parents advice on their development.

3.According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance?

A. The number of family members.

B. The teacher-student relationship.

C. The intelligence of their parents.

D. The parent-child communication.

4.How does the author develop the passage?

A. By listing figures. B. By making comparisons.

C. Ry presenting ideas. D. By drawing conclusions.
