Many kids don't drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.
Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey,a study on the health of children in the United States conducted each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention..
While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of' that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past," Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth."
The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that fluids（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
1.What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study?
A. To study if kids drink enough water daily :
B. To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids
C. To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love.
D. To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school.
2.According to the findings of Erica Kenney's study, we know that ________.
A. school kids cannot find drinkable water easily
B. boys are more likely to get dehydrated than girls
C. sugary drinks are very popular with school kids
D. most kids know the importance of drinking plain water .
3.From the last paragraph we learn that kids________.
A. should drink plain water to lose weight
B. can try to take in water from sugary drinks .
C. can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water .
D. should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day
4.The text mainly tells us that many kids_____________
A. don ' t like drinking water
B. prefer sugary drinks to water
C. are at risk of health problems
D. don ' t drink enough water daily

Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy. I am 17 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
Love, Amy
At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Content. When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, Manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it wound be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special girl and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.
The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly.

Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy saw a world full of people who truly cared about each other.
Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to hold her head high.
Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.
That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially declared December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” he said, “wants to and should be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us．I have been into sports since I was six years old．I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.
When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski．I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before．I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem．That was a big mistake.
Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met．He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort．One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game．Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t．After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere．This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school．He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.
In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential．Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court.
He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted．I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life．My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students．I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual．
1.Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________．
A．concentrated on skill training
B．expected the team to do well in their studies
C．trained the team to the edge of death
D．asked the team to do more reading than training
2.The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．paid no attention
B．showed no interest
C．made less effort
D．had less passion
3.In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.
A．professional and serious
B．hardworking and honest
C．skilled and cruel
D．strict and helpful

During Nelson Mandela’s 19 years in the prison on Robben Island, one particular commanding officer, Badenhorst, was the cruelest of them all:
“A few days before Badenhorst’s leaving the prison, I was called to the main office. General Steyn was visiting the island and wanted to know if we had any complaints. Badenhorst was there as I went through a list of demands. When I had finished, Badenhorst spoke to me directly.
He told me he would be leaving the island and added: ‘I just want to wish you people good luck’. I do not know if I looked dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的), but I was amazed. He spoke these words like a human being and showed a side of himself we had never seen before. I thanked him for his good wishes and wished him good luck too.
I thought about this moment for a long time afterwards. Badenhorst had perhaps been the most cold–blooded and cruelest commanding officer we had had on Robben Island. But that day in the office, he had showed that there was another side to his nature, a side that had been hidden but still existed.
It was obvious that all men, even the most seemingly cold-blooded, have a heart of kindness and that, if their hearts are touched, they are able to change. Actually, Badenhorst was not evil; his inhumanity (不人道) had been encouraged by an inhuman system. He behaved cruelly because he was rewarded for cruel behavior.”
1.When did the story happen?
A. Before Badenhorst left the prison.
B. Before Mandela gave demands.
C. After General Steyn took over the prison.
D. Just when Mandela was set free.
2.How did Mandela feel at what Badenhorst said?
A. Awkward. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D. Upset.
3.Why did Badenhorst become the cruelest according to Mandela?
A. He was born evil.
B. He seemed cold-blooded.
C. He was easily changed.
D. His cruelty was rewarded.
4. Which could be the best title of the passage?
A. Hide oneself or express oneself?
B. Hard to change or easy to change?
C. Cruel by name or cruel by nature?
D. To be a prisoner or to be a commander?
