We all know that lying (说谎) is wrong. But do you know that it is bad for both your physical and mental health? A recent study shows that telling fewer lies helps people physically and mentally.
“For ten weeks, 110 people aged from 18 to 71 were tested to see the relationship between the number of lies they told and their health,” said Anita Kelly, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. “When they lied more, their health declined,” said Kelly.
Researchers divided the people into two groups. Group A was told to avoid telling any lie for any reason to anyone. They may omit (忽略) the truth, refuse to answer questions, and keep secrets, but they can’t say anything that they know are not true. Group B was not told anything like this.
Over the study period, when people in Group A told fewer lies in a week than they did in other weeks, they experienced fewer health problems such as sore throats and headaches. Professor Linda Stroh said, “When you find that you don’t lie, you have less stress (压力).” The results of past research show that each American tells about 11 lies a week. In both groups, when people lied less during a week, they reported better physical and mental health during that period.
“It’s certainly a good thing to have people be more honest,” said Robert Feldman of the University of Massachusetts. “It may improve our mental health, but I don’t think it can improve our physical health.”
1.The underlined word “declined” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 变坏 B. 改善 C. 加强 D. 混乱
2.From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. the test continued for no more than one month
B. older people lie less than younger people
C. the number of lies one tells can affect one’s health
D. many people feel sick when they don’t tell lies
3.People in Group A were allowed to ________.
① omit the truth ② refuse to answer questions
③ keep secrets ④ tell lies to strangers
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
4.According to Linda Stroh, ________.
A. mental health is more important than physical health
B. when people don’t lie, they feel more relaxed
C. to be honest can’t improve our physical health
D. telling lies is necessary sometimes
5.We would most probably find this passage ________.
A. on a travel website B. in a story book
C. in a health magazine D. in a cookbook

Do you like chicken? We all know that a chicken is a cock or hen. But do you know other meanings of the word?

How green are you? Do you know how to be green?
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
1.What is the passage about?
A. How to produce things. B. How to burn things.
C. How to help others. D. How to be green.
2. Which of the following is right?
A. Don’t waste things. B. Always throw away old things.
C. Always buy new things. D. Buy too many things from abroad.
3.Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?
A. You can burn them.
B. You can use them again.
C. You can throw them away.
D. You can change them into something else.
4.To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.
A. waste, reuse and recycle B. repair, burn and recycle
C. reduce, reuse and recycle D. reduce, waste and recycle.
5. The passage may come from ______.
A. a menu B. a dictionary C. a storybook D. a magazine

We all know that smoking is bad for people’s health. But not many people know about the danger of secondhand smoke.
Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from the smoker’s breath(呼吸). If people breathe in secondhand smoke from time to time, they could get sick from it.
But how serious is the problem of the secondhand smoke? The World Health Organization(WHO) did a study of 194 countries. They found that secondhand smoke causes about 600,000 deaths every year. That is about 1% of the world’s deaths.
Secondhand smoke is especially bad for children because their bodies are still growing. According to the study, around 165,000 children under the age of 5 die each year because of secondhand smoke. Most of these deaths happen in Africa and southern Asia.
You can do something to keep yourself and other people away from secondhand smoke. You can ask the smokers, such as your parents, to smoke outside. And, if someone smokes close to you, you’d better hold your breath or just walk away.
1.Children can easily get sick from secondhand smoke because __________.
A. they are from Africa B. their bodies are still growing
C. secondhand smoke is very dangerous D. they are all under the age of 5
2.According to the study, children who die from secondhand smoke most come from_____.
A. Africa and Australia B. Africa and eastern Asia
C. southern Asia and Africa D. southern Africa and India
3.You can’t keep yourself away from the secondhand smoke by __________.
A. asking the smokers to smoke outside B. walking away
C. holding your breath D. smoking with them
