    A fad diet is a diet that suddenly becomes popular, usually because it promises people that they will lose a lot of weight overnight. Although dieters may really show weight loss from a fad diet, they will almost certainly get back the weight if their usual eating habits remain unchanged. Moreover, fad diets continuously call for special products of questionable value or for “health foods” that may cost twice as much as supermarket foods. Worse yet, certain fad diets don't include nutrients(营养)good for health. People have been known to become very ill as a result of following medically unhealthy diets.

    The worse fact of fad diets, though, is that they keep people who are over-weight or sick from receiving the medical care that they truly need.

    A. new B. wonderful

    C. popular quickly D. loved by people

    Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.

    Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".

    The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.

    Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.

    The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.

    But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.

    Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的） and prefer the modern genre （类型） in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.

    Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.

    1.The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.

    A. force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"

    B. help boys to be more competitive in schools.

    C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely

    D. naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man

    2.It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.

    A. behave more responsibly.

    B. grow up more healthily.

    C. perform relatively better.

    D. receive a better education.

    3.According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.

    A. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys

    B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted

    C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in

    D. teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit

    4.What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 8” mean?

    A. lovely B. sharp C. serious D. dull

    Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any languages except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; another way by signals.

    Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant “man”. Another meant “horse”. To tell the time of day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time.

    Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

    To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.

    The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

    He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.

    Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.

    1.Blanket signals .

    A. could be seen far away

    B. could be seen at night

    C. were used only for warning

    D. were considered the best way of sending messages

    2.Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language because .

    A. they could use signals or sign language

    B. they never met each other

    C. they could write messages

    D. they thought they could easily make themselves understood

    3.Sign language is .

    A. a language only for Indians

    B. a way of taking by signing on paper

    C. a way to express one’s ideas by making gestures

    D. a secret way of talking to strangers

    4.The story tells about .

    A. people living in Indian

    B. how Indians communicate between different tribes

    C. the Indians who didn’t use their languages

    D. the Indians who had many kinds of languages
