Kay and Charles Giddens sold their home to start a bed and breakfast. Four years later, the couple now dishes out banana pancake breakfasts, cleans toilets, serves homemade cookies to guests in a bed and breakfast surrounded by trees on a mountain known for colorful sunsets.
“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says Ms. Giddens. “This is a phenomenon (现象) that’s fairly widespread. A lot of people are rethinking their lives and figuring out what they want to do.” Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work and commuting (通勤) less, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin, a writer, tells us how she deals with the changes in her budget (预算), now far less than what she used to make.
“You become conscious of where your money is going and how valuable it is,” Ms. Robin says. “You tend not to use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out. You find your life is not a mess anymore, and you discover your living costs have gone way down.”
Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a babysitter for two weeks. “It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says. “Simplicity is not just about saving money; it’s about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”
Ms. Luhrsnow edits a magazine called Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, and organize potluck (家常便饭) dinners instead of fancy receptions.
“Simplicity is about conscious living and creating the life you want. The less stuff you buy, the less money goes out the door, and the less money you have to earn,” Ms. Luhrs explains.
1.How does Ms. Giddens feel about the life she is living now?
A. Bored. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Surprised.
2.What does the phenomenon Ms. Giddens mentioned refer to?
A. Serving others. B. Finding a new job.
C. Living a simple life. D. Opening a restaurant.
3.Janet Luhrs gave up her job as a lawyer in order to .
A. have one more baby girl
B. create her own magazine
C. make her career in music
D. spend more time with her kids
4.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?
A. Business. B. Lifestyle.
C. Education. D. Entertainment.

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War .She is always talking about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my coworker's son?" she bemoans all the time. Her coworker's son received a four -year scholarship(奖学金) and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to say except that I simply can't be like Mr Perfect as I've called the unnamed coworker's son. I can't be like him. I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6﹕30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
1.Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?
A. The writer's studies.
B. Wars around the world.
C. Dinner plans.
D. The writer's future job.

A. agrees. B. shouts. C. smiles. D. complains.
3.Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?______.
A. He wants to be like his mother's coworker's son.
B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.
C. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
D. He doesn't think his mother's coworker's son is perfect
4.We can know from the last paragraph that________.
A. the writer's mother works very hard for the family.
B. the writer doesn't know what his future will be like.
C. the writer doesn't think being a doctor is a good job.

You’ve heard it repeatedly: Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water per day. The key words are "at least", because, unless you are a child, you need more water than that. The rule is, for every 50 pounds of body weight you carry, drink one quart of bottled or filtered (过滤的) water per day. The average person weighs 150 pounds, so they should drink three quarts per day. A 200 pounds person should drink a full gallon per day. Athletes should drink even more than that. Follow these and you’ve adopted one of the most important health habits.
Our bodies are mostly water, and water is essential to our every function. Drink the appropriate amount, and everything is much more likely to function at the best levels. If you don’t drink enough water, over the short term you will experience tiredness, dry skin, headaches and constipation (便秘); over the longer term, every body function will degrade more quickly. It really is as simple as that.
Things get a bit more complicated in what type of water to drink. Bottled water and filtered water are both good options. Do not drink tap water or distilled water (蒸馏水).Bottled water should be bottled in clear glass containers, not the plastic containers that transfer far too many chemicals into the water. Filtered water can be obtained through low-cost filters.
Tap water should be avoided because it contains chlorine (氯) and may contain fluoride (氟化物), which is poisonous and can have terrible consequences for the body. Distilled water should also be avoided because it can burn up your body of necessary minerals. It has been tied to hair loss, which is often associated with certain mineral lack.
Finally, drink water at room temperature if possible, as ice-cold water can harm your stomach.
1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “degrade”?
A. Improve. B. Reduce.
C. Strengthen D. Recover.
2.What kinds of water are proper for drinking?
A. Tap water and bottled water.
B. Tap water and distilled water.
C. Bottled water and filtered water.
D. Distilled water and filtered water.
3.What’s the main reason that distilled water isn’t recommended to drink?
A. It leads the body to lack certain minerals.
B. It isn’t clean enough to drink.
C. It contains too many chemicals.
D. It contains fluoride.
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is harmful to drink plenty of icy water.
B. One may feel tired due to lack of water for a short time.
C. The water with chlorine is not suitable to drink.
D. The water in plastic containers is safe to drink.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
1. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. color blindness
B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness
D. color and its surprising effects.
2.According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.
A. tell different shapes
B. tell orange from yellow
C. kill mosquitoes
D. see in a weak light
3.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer color-blind women
C. Women are fonder of driving than men.
D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
4.Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?
A. All of them see everything in shades of green.
B. None of them can see deep red.
C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
D. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.
