Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. 1.The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.

2.Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. 3.When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.

Los Angeles：Love for Mom is a given，but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother's Day，another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears，which is a period of reduced trade and business activity，and increasing food and gasoline prices.
“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Bender， an analyst at Bream Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother's Day will probably be a slow quarter，too.’’ US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion，with consumers spending an average of $17.65.according to the National Retail Federation estimates.
Mother’s Day，which accounts for a one—quarter of annual holiday purchases，according to the Society of American Florists，is traditionally the day when floral bouquets are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year，the shop-owners are concerned.
Gabriel Soto，who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales--and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day.
Last month, Solo, who also operates website downtown-flowers, net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.
1.The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means__________________________.
A. sharp increase in price B. great fear for losing jobs

A. a large family get-together

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends. And they are good to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
1.The best title of this passage probably is______ .
A. Love your friends B. Live a real life

I have a Rewards Card for Showcase Cinema that allows me to earn rewards points with each purchase that I make at the theatre and periodically provides me with a free popcorn, soda or movie ticket coupon(优惠券). I had recently accumulated enough rewards points to obtain a coupon for a free popcorn.
Standing in the movie theatre ticket line on Saturday, I noticed just ahead of me, a father with his 2 small boys also waiting to buy their tickets for the Matinee Movie. Knowing that movies can be quite expensive for families nowadays, I tapped the Dad on the shoulder and asked, “I have a coupon for free popcorn and don’t plan to use it, would you like it for one of your boys?” He said, “Yeah, sure. That’s great! Thanks!” and took the coupon.
A few minutes later, after they had purchased their tickets, one of his small sons who appeared to be about 9 or 10 years old, walked up to me and silently held out a shiny penny to show me. I took it and said, “Wow that’s cool! It’s really shiny!” He quietly replied, “It’s a 2011”.
As I handed it back to him. He pushed the penny towards me once again and quietly said, “You can keep it”. Showing my gratitude, I replied, “Wow that’s awesome, thank you very much” and asked, “Where did you get it!” and he said quite softly, “I found it in my Dad’s car”. I said, “Oh that’s cool, thanks!” He smiled, quietly turned and walked back to his Dad who returned my smile with a knowing smile of his own.

A cookie can give one person a sugar rush while barely affecting another person, a new study finds, indicating that a food’s glycemic index（血糖指数）is in the eater.
People’s blood sugar rises or falls differently even when they eat the exact same fruit, bread, deserts, pizza and many other foods, researchers report. That suggests that diets should be tailored to individuals’ personal characteristics.
The researchers made t
he discovery after fitting 800 people with blood glucose （血糖）monitors for a week. The people ate standard breakfasts supplied by the researchers. Although the volunteers all ate the same food, their blood glucose levels after eating those foods varied dramatically. Characteristics and behaviors such as body mass index, sleep, exercise, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and the kinds of microbes（微生物） living in people’s intestines are associated with blood glucose responses to food, the researchers conclude.
Those findings indicate that blood sugar spikes （血糖尖峰）after eating depend not only on what you eat, but how your system processes that food.
A team led by a biologist created a computer algorithm(计算程序) that predicted how much a person’s blood sugar would rise or fall after eating a certain food. When testing on a new group of 100 people, the algorithm correctly predicted the response about 70 percent of the time.
A third group of 26 participants were then given personalized meals. The computer algorithm analyzed each person and then picked diets for 12 of them. A nutritionist chose a “good” and “bad” diet for the remaining participants. Good diets were ones that minimized blood sugar spikes after eating. Bad diets sent blood sugar skyrocketing. The diets contained the same amount of calories. It turned out that foods on the “good” diet for one person were sometimes on another participant’s “bad” list.
1.A food’s glycemic index depends on ______.
A. diets B. sleep
C. health D. eaters
2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “tailored” in Paragraph 2?
A. limited B. adjusted
C. applied D. compared
3.The good diets chosen by a nutritionist were the ones that _______ after eating.
A. made blood sugar unchanged
B. sent blood sugar rising sharply
C. reduced blood sugar spikes to the lowest
D. provided body with lots of calories
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. People’s Blood Sugar Rises Or Falls
B. A Good Diet for You May be Bad for Me
C. Diets And Blood Sugar
D. Can a Cookie Give One Person a Sugar Rush?
