    One year ago, I traveled 15,000 kilometers from Australia to the US. I am from a beachside town in the   16  of Sydney, and thought there would be almost no   17  differences between my home country and my 18  . I was surprised at how wrong I was, and at  19  different the two countries could be.
    The United States is   20  in almost every aspect. The buildings are gigantic (巨大的) and so are the people who   21  and work in them. At mealtimes, the portions (份额) often   22  to me to be big enough for three or four people. I once   23  a baked potato which turned out to be bigger than my head! This was a big   24  for me.
    The longer I spent in the US, the more I started to   25  smaller differences like the culture of   26  in restaurants. In Australia we don’t tend to give a tip   27  the service has been really excellent. In the US you tip for   28  everything, even at the hairdresser. Waiters and shop assistants   29  to be given 15 percent of the bill, although in places   30 New York or Washington DC, a tip can be as much as 20 percent.
      31 , I also became more wary (谨慎的) of believing the stereotypes (成见) I had heard at home as I traveled. Not all Americans are ignorant of geography, for example.
    Despite this, certain stereotypes about places did seem to   32  true for me. There is an immense (强烈的) sense of speed in New York. Everyone   33  to and fro, and very seldom takes time to   34  the moment. This is very different from the Australian lifestyle. Australians are laid back. Even in a major city like Sydney, we “Aussies” take time to “stop and smell the roses”---very different from our American counterparts.
    Navigating (驾驭) the culture divide between Australia and the US was challenging at times. But I took up that   35  and learned a lot from it. It was an adventure.

    "Hey, don't read in the hallway. Your eyesight will be damaged." You must have heard such warnings many times. Don’t read in dim (暗的)light! This is one of the “pearls of wisdom” that are supposed to help us live a healthy life. Such common beliefs, however, lack scientific basis, according to a paper published recently in the British Medical Journal.
    Do you believe in the following everyday wisdom?
    Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.
    In dim light, you might blink (眨眼) more, feel discomfort from drying and have trouble focusing. But the majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage.
    We must drink at least eight glasses of water a day
    In 1945, the Nutrition Council in US suggested that people need to consume 2.5 litres of water a day. But the water contained in food, particularly fruit and vegetables, as well as in milk, juice and soft drinks, also counts towards the total.
    We only use 10 percent of our brains.
    This myth arose as early as 1907. People have long argued about our power of self-improvement and our brains’ potential abilities. But detailed imaging shows that no area of the brain is silent or inactive.
    Shaving your legs causes hair to grow black faster and thicker.
    This theory is also illusion. Shaving has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair growth,
    studies say. Just over time, the edge of hair gets worn away and thus the edge of long hair becomes finer (更细). So hair that is newly grown gives the impression of darkness.
    小题1:What does the paper say about some common beliefs?
    A．They are pearls of wisdomB．They help us live in healthy ways
    C．They are well-known theories.D．They do not have scientific basis.
    小题2:Which of the following is true according to the passage ?
    A．Reading in dim light does harm to one’s eyes.
    B．People need a total of 2.5 litres of water a day
    C．People use 90 percent of their brains.
    D．Shaving your legs will give you thicker hair.

    The Body Temperature
    The temperature of your body should be always just the same, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer （温度计）when your are sick.
    The body keeps the same temperature all the time ,because it balances the heat it produces and it gives off. It is always burning up food and , producing heat. It can produce heat faster when it needs to give off heat than when it becomes too warm. Let’s see how this happen.
    The heat of your body is given off mainly through the skin. When you are cold, your skin is tight and shows “good flesh”. When you get chilly, you must dance around to keep warm or else you will shiver. Then your muscles begin to work, burn up fuel, and produce more heat. It is not pleasant to shiver, so you usually prefer to warm up by exercise, or put on more clothes to keep heat in.
    When you are warm, the skin is loose and soft. It is so supplied with blood that heat is given off rapidly. If you get too warm, you begin to sweat ,and more body heat is used in evaporating the moisture（水蒸气） from your skin. You wear less clothing, too, in warm weather or warm room, so that warm can be given off freely. You feel less like exercising because your body is warm already, and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.
    You can see from the way you feel differently in different kinds of weather. In summer, when it is warm, you feel tired and lazy. You do not care to work or play, but enjoy lying and doing nothing. When you get out of doors in winter, the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to play.
    小题1:Which is another title suitable of the passage?
    A．The Patients’ Temperature
    B．The Body Temperature Should Always Be the Same
    C．The Body Temperature
    D．The Temperature and Your Skin
    小题2:How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?
    A．It is always producing heat from food.
    B．It gives off the heat produced in it.
    C．It balances the heat it gets and loses.
    D．It stops producing heat when necessary.
    小题3:When one feels chilly, which of the following will he do?
    A．His skin becomes tight in order to keep warm.
    B．He does exercises to make his muscle produce more heat.
    C．He puts on more clothes to keep heat in.
    D．He keeps shivering to produce more heat.
    小题4:When in summer, people prefer to_____.
    A．workB．playC．do exerciseD．relax and do nothing

    English teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country’s increasing obesity (肥胖 )rate. It’s feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.
    Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England---even if it was mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools. In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
    “What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry---which they can use now at home and then in their later life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
    The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
    “If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we’ve got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure”.
    The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.
    小题1:The passage mainly talks about        .
    A．the reason for obesityB．the lost cooking skills
    C．the healthy eatingD．the compulsory cooking classes
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT the purpose for English teenagers to receive cooking lessons?
    A．To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.
    B．To reduce the country’s increasing obesity rate.
    C．To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared convenience foods.
    D．To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.
    小题3:In what way will cooking lessons benefit the students?
    A．They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.
    B．They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce.
    C．They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.
    D．They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.
    小题4:The well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, thinks it        to offer compulsory cooking lessons in schools.
    A．difficultB．necessaryC．funnyD．timely
    小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that       .
    A．cooking has always been an important part of school education in England
    B．the obesity rate in Britain has been rapidly growing in recent decades
    C．English teenagers will have their cooking lessons twice a week for one year

    This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.
    It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend（超越） it. Once we truly know that life is difficult---once we truly understand and accept it---then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
    Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
    What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.  Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
    Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
    小题1:From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.               
    A．everybody has problems
    B．we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life
    C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
    D．people like to complain about their problems
    小题2:The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.
    A．save spaceB．persuade readers
    C．get readers’ attention D．make readers laugh
    小题3:According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to______.
    A．teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem
    B．encourage them to learn
    C．help them learn to deal with pain
    D．teach them how to respect from problems
    小题4:The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ______.
    A．most people feel life is easy
    B．most people complain about how hard their lives are
    C．the writer feels life is easy
    D．the writer likes to complain about his problems

Life is all about what you choose.And what you choose leads your life."Several years later,I heard that Jerry left the back door open one morning and was robbed(抢劫）.While trying to stop the thief ,he was shot. I went to see him in the hospital.When I asked him how he was,he replied,"If I were any better,I'd be twins." "Weren't you scared when you were in danger?"I asked."Yes. The doctors kept telling me that I was going to be fine, but in their eyes,I read."He's dead."I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" "Well.there was a big nurse asking me if I was allergic(过敏的）to anything."Yes,'I replied ."Bullets(子弹）!Everyone laughed and I told them: I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive." Jerry lived thanks to the great doctors ,and also because of his amazing attitude(态度）.Attitude ,after all ,is everything.
