In much society, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin; Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressures even within the same group, if some members are darker than others.
The result is that skin lightening has become very common across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world and more people with dark skin are using skin-lighting products, even if it means they may face health risks. They believe that having whiter skin will improve the quality of their lives. Many people think they will have a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.
Some beauty care（美容） products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. However, some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural barrier(障碍) to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, which just makes things even worse. Doctor Ly says some chemicals are so dangerous that they may lead to blackened fingernails, infections(感染) and serious skin damage.
And these are not the only problems. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regretful and sad. They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to live and accept their skin color as it was.

A．Many people with dark skin try to make their skin whiter.

B．Many people with whiter skin live a better life than others.

Younger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater expansion in their waistlines（腰围）over time, a study published suggests. Researchers found that among black and Hispanic adults younger than 40, those who typically slept for five hours or less each night had a greater accumulation of belly fat over the next five years, versus

（相比于） those who averaged six or seven hours. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain - but it was less obvious than that seen in "short sleepers."
The study, reported in the Journal Sleep, does not prove that too little or too much sleep directly leads to excess fat gain. But the findings support and extend those of other studies linking sleep duration - particularly a lack of sleep - to weight gain and even to higher risks of diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease. Among participants younger than 40, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each night gained more belly fat than those who averaged six or seven hours of sleep. On average, short sleepers showed a 32 percent gain in visceral（内脏的）fat, versus a 13 percent gain among those who slept six or seven hours per night, and a 22 percent increase among men and women who got at least eight hours of sleep each night. A similar pattern was seen with superficial abdominal（腹部）fat.
The findings, according to lead researcher Dr. Kristen G. Hairston, support the belief that sleep habits affect weight and health in general. "Sleep is an important part of your overall health - not just in whether you're tired during the day," she said.
There may be indirect effects; people who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while those who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, relative to people who sleep fewer hours. Research also suggests that sleep loss alters people's levels of appetite-regulating hormones（荷尔蒙）- which could, in theory, cause them to overeat. Depression, which often affects people's sleep and has been linked to weight gain, could also be a factor, Hairston noted.
小题1:Who may have the higher risk of being fat over the next five years?

A．Jack, a Hispanic man, aged 35, sleeps for 3 hours every night.

B．Candy, a black woman, aged 41, sleeps for about 5 hours every night.

C．Bob, an American, aged 50, sleeps for more than 12 hours every day.

D．John, a student in Africa, sleeps for more than 6 hours every week.

小题2:What does the study, reported in the Journal Sleep find?

A．Too little or too much sleep directly gives rise to the fat gain.

B．People are subject to heart disease due to the lack of sleep.

C．It is admitted that sleep plays an important part in our health.

D．Researchers find a longer sleep time is better for our health.

小题3:What does the lead researcher Dr. Kristen G. Hairston agree with?

A．People should do some exercise in their daily life.

B．There is a close link between sleep habits and health.

C．More nutrition is greatly needed when we lack sleep.

D．More and more people tend to sleep less than before.

小题4:What can we infer from the passage?

A．Younger adults getting little or much sleep may become fat.

B．We are supposed to do exercise as much as possible to ke

ep fit.

C．We should keep a good sleep habit to improve our health.

D．We have to spare no efforts to drive depression away.

小题5:What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Sleep Habits Linked to Fat Gain in Younger Adults.

B．Doing Exercise Is the Best Way to Keep Fit.

C．Our Waistlines Can Be Driven Away Right Now.

D．Diabetes No Longer bother all of Young People.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
小题1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Differences between Golf and Mountaineering.

B．Sports and Games.

C．Mountaineering.

D．Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering?

小题2: The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in ____.

A．team game

B．enjoyment

C．age

D．rules

小题3:The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because ____.

A．mountain climbers usually compete in groups

B．mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

C．mountaineering climbers are free to use their won rules to climb

D．mountaineering is a sport not a game

小题4: In the author’s opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy
mountaineering is that ____.

A．there are no man-made rules for mountaineers

B．mountaineering is a sport and not a game

C．it is one of the most dangerous sports

D．mountaineering brings us more enjoyment than other sports

What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (贫穷). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (强调) international poverty and debt.
小题1:What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?

A．The festival has achieved growing success.

B．Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.

C．The festival has brought in a large amount of money.

小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.

B．Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.

C．Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.

D．In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.

小题3: We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.

A．the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts

B．the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London

C．London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals

D．some superstars are concerned about global poverty

Many college-bound freshmen are worrying about more than just who their roommates will be this fall. They may also be nervous about the well-known fact that they are likely to gain weight this school year. Or will they? While many of us remember the extra weight that showed up right around the start of our college careers, we are not always clear on how much weight we realize gained or why.
Many nutrition experts and psychologists think that it is the change in environment and the stress of a new beginning that cause the typical college freshmen to gain extra pounds. As students start a new stage of their lives, many eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness. Often, college students are making meals or choosing foods independently for the first time in their lives. If they live in the college dormitory, they have a wide variety of foods to select from that may be higher in calories and fatter than the foods they consumed living at home. In addition, college social events usually center around food. I clearly remember sitting in my dorm cafeteria for two or three hours on a Saturday morning socializing with my new friends. Instead of eating only one meal, we would start with breakfast, eat throughout the duration of our socializing, and finish with lunch. Food also makes an appearance after late-night parties, as part of a school day, or simply to break the monotony(单调 ).
So will this year's typical freshmen really gain 15 pounds? According to a 2006 Tufts University study, students enrolling in college this fall will gain weight, but maybe not the assumed 15 pounds. Based on the students surveyed, the study found that men can expect to gain an average of 6 pounds and women an average of 4.5 pounds during the freshman year.
小题1:According to the passage, it is obvious that __________.

A．the foods the freshmen had at home may be healthier than those in the dorm cafeteria

B．to break the monotony, the students should start with breakfast, and finish with lunch

C．the students should eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness in new situations

D．the boys may gain less pounds than the girls during the first year in the college

小题2: Nutrition experts and psychologists think that __________.

A．students should get used to the stress of change through foods they had at home

B．the new environment and the stress have something to do with the students' extra pounds

C．students should know in what way they gain so much weight

D．choosing foods independently can make people lose weight naturally

小题3:From the writer's experience, the writer thinks that ____________.

A．foods in the dorm cafeteria are all higher in calories and fatter

B．the best way to break the monotony is through breakfast, lunch and supper

C．students in college will gain an average of about 5.25 pounds every fall

D．social events in the college are usually celebrated around food

小题4:This passage is mainly about ______________.
A how and why the freshmen gain extra pounds
B. the experience of the freshmen in the college
C. the freshmen with trouble in a new environment
D. the views of the nutrition experts and psychologists about gaining weight

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?
That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.
To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- slips all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather-- is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
小题1:What’s the main topic of this passage?

A．What is time?

B．How to control time?

C．Make good use of time.

D．Time among Americans.

小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?

A．protect

B．develop

C．produce

D．assist

小题3:The sentence “Americans seem tied to the clock” probably means __________.

A．Americans often carry a clock with them.

B．Americans can not predict the time.

C．Americans can take control over time.

D．Americans often make full use of time.

小题4:We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________________.

A．Americans have more time than others.

B．by using pocket planners, people can have more time.

C．for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier.

D．Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better.
