Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare(仪式上的短曲); there are weddings on mountain tops with guests barefooted; there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs.
Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most exciting moment.
The wedding itself usually lasts between 30 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played. The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will “give her away”. The groom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar, the bride and groom exchange vows(誓言). It is traditional to use the words “to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” Following the vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
After the ceremony, there is often a party, called a “reception” which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the new couple.

I was in my first year of college, making friends and enjoying life, but then my whole world turned upside down. I had a heart attack. It felt like someone was stabbing (刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.
After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nana’s house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.
I couldn’t even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the toilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be here.
The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t go well and they only managed to repair one of the holes.
When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldn’t wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned at how quickly heart failure came on – it usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day and getting on with my life.
As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the point where I thought I would never get a new heart. I was diagnosed with depression.
Even though I thought that Christmas 2008 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyone was crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting.
A week later, I got a call from the doctors saying they’d found a suitable donor (捐赠人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well. I spent four hours in surgery where they took out my old heart and put a new one in. When I woke up I burst out crying. I had a second chance at life.
1. What happened when the author was having his second heart attack?
A. He felt less pain than he had during the previous one.
B. He realized what it was and shouted for help in time.
C. He narrowly escaped death thanks to his grandfather.
D. He decided to have an operation to repair the two holes in his heart.
2.When the author learned that he needed a heart transplant, he ______.
A. couldn’t help crying every day
B. chose to continue to fight for his life
C. felt so depressed that he tried to kill himself
D. was so anxious that his heart failure developed very quickly
3. At the beginning of 2009, the author ______.
A. was convinced that the past Christmas had been his last
B. felt blessed and grateful for his second chance at life
C. received a heart transplant but the operation didn’t go well

Young people frequently say that they want to exercise, but they just can’t find the time.
The solution just might be in-office interval training.
Recent studies show that very short but intense exercise rapidly builds and maintains fitness and health, even when the workout is only a few minutes long.
Work the stairs
You can complete an excellent, effective — and very brief — workout in an office stairwell, says Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada and an expert on interval training.
For a study that he and his colleagues presented earlier this year, they asked 12 out-of-shape women in their 20s to warm up for two minutes by slowly walking up and down stairs in a campus office building.
They completed three of these abbreviated stair workouts per week for six weeks.
By the end, their aerobic fitness had improved substantially, the researchers reported, by about as much as if they had been running or cycling each week for hours.
Fidget your way to fitness.
Parents and teachers may once have urged you to sit still, but wiggling, tapping your toes, standing briefly, and otherwise fidgeting as much as possible at your desk is in fact good for your body.
In one recent study, college students showed healthier blood flow in their lower legs if they fidgeted than if they did not.
Even better, a 2008 study found that among office workers, those who frequently fidgeted burned as many as 300 calories more each day than those who resolutely stayed still.
1. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A. several ways to work out within short time
B. short exercise does no good to health
C. how to find time to exercise
D. fitness can be improved
2.According to the experiment, women spending two minutes working stairs for six weeks __________.
A. didn’t benefit from workout
B. felt more unhealthy
C. became fatter in figure
D. benefited a lot
3.How many studies are shown in the passage?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
4.The writer may agree ___________.
A. sitting still during work hours
B. lying as often as possible
C. trying to frequently walk back and forth
C. standing and working without any stop

Paparazzi, (狗仔队)or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normainly a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities(名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
1.Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?
A. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.
B. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.
C. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.
D. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.
2. In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.
A. make friends with famous people
B. sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C. get the only first-hand pictures
D. know the locations of celebrities
3.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures
B. how dangerous paparazzi’s job is
C. how paparazzi contact informers .
D. how paparazzi get the pictures
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.
C. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
D.Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.
