                             Phys ed （physical education） is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum（核心课程）， but with a difference．While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class．Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance（忍耐力）．In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life．
    Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum．In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P．E．on the chopping block（砧板）, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids．The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added．
    The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support．Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be．They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country （越野）than when they played sports．The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant students were able to sit on the bench．
    Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school．The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood．
    小题1:According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
    A．Lift weightsB．Climb a rope
    C．CycleD．Have a balanced diet
    小题2:What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P．E．on the chopping block”?
    A．Schools do not pay enough attention to P．E．．
    B．Schools welcome P．E．but do not have time for it．
    C．Schools put P．E．in the first place．
    D．Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P．E．．
    小题3:Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
    A．More teenagers are overweight．
    B．Traditional group sports teaching is not effective．
    C．Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life．
    D．Phys ed programs need less money to support．
    小题4:How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
    A．TwoB．ThreeC．FourD．One
    小题5:What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model？
    A．The Phys ed teaches group sports．
    B．The Phys ed provides more fitness programs．
    C．The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life．
    D．The Phys ed has more support from the government．

    Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing? Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta (Putnam). She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic(法庭的) intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.
    If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace:Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World (Riverhead). Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer (as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia), you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
    What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny (Random House), about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest (March, on stands now), by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
    Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking (Simon & Schuster). Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.

    Our boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us form going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.
    As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.
    One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
    小题1: It can be inferred from the passage that the only thing they could see in a boat was _______.     
    A．wallsB．chains of hillsC．tall treesD．vast land
    小题2:From the passage, we can learn that _______.
    A．the country was a civilized societyB．the country was a tropical jungle country
    C．they found a place where they could landD．they were on a journey home
    小题3:According to the passage, what happened to the people in the boat at last?
    A．They were arrested.B．They managed to escape to safety.
    		C．They were saved by some villagersD．The passage doesn’t mention it.
    小题4: The best title for this passage might be _______.
    A．The Problem of LandingB．An Adventure
    C．An Entirely New ExperienceD．Escape

    Hummingbirds have got their name from the distinct “hum” sound made by their rapidly flapping (拍打) wings. The size of the bird decides the number of flaps it can do. The average lifetime of a hummingbird is 3 or 4 years, but some of them have lived beyond 12 years also. They are unique in many ways. Besides the number of rapid flaps they can do per second, they can also fly backwards.
    Hummingbirds have an amazing sense of assessing the amount of sugar in the nectar (花蜜) they eat. They feed on the nectar of flowers. Hummingbirds do not feed on flowers whose nectar contains less than 10% sugar. Talk about a sweet tooth! As they cannot sustain themselves on nectar alone because of its poor nutritional value, they also feed on insects and spiders, and hummingbird food mixture that one can make at home.
    Attracting hummingbirds to your garden will require a little planning. Plant butterfly bush, mimosa, coral bells, foxglove, morning glory, etc. These flowers attract the hummingbirds due to their high visibility (可见性) and nectar production. Avoid using pesticides (杀虫剂), as it will not only kill the insects around the flowers, but hurt the hummingbirds as well.
    A common food for these birds is the sweettasting sugar syrup (糖浆). Hummingbird food ingredients are just two: sugar and water. Take a large clean bowl, pour in it four cups of hot water, and dissolve one cup of table sugar in it. Stir slowly until all sugar has dissolved.
    Hummingbirds, tiny as they are, collect a lot of nutrition. Providing them with hummingbird food mixture made of sugar water is a sure way to get all these beauties humming in your garden.
    小题1:Hummingbirds will have some little animals for their meal when      .
    A．they can't find any green plants
    B．they can't take in enough nutrition
    C．they are bored with eating nectar
    D．they are too old to fly
    小题2:In order to attract hummingbirds, you should      .
    A．plan high trees
    B．grow plants with small flowers
    C．grow plants whose flowers are bright in color
    D．grow plants coming into flower in the morning
    小题3:The main idea of the fourth paragraph is      .
    A．how to prepare food for hummingbirds
    B．where hummingbirds can find delicious food
    C．hummingbirds can't live for long without sugar
    D．hummingbirds like manmade food better than nectar

    Certainly people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you’ve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
    How is it done? Here are several skills (技巧) that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at ease, and make friends with them quickly.
    First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy they are, will answer a question. One well-known businessman says. “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did this morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters sometimes to really personal questions. And how they answer will let you know how far you can go.
    Second, once good talkers have asked questions they listen for the answer. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively (专心地).
    Real listening means certain things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation (对话). If someone sticks to (坚持) one topic (话题), you can take it as a fact that he’ll be really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (语调) of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
    Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion (场合) of parting. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
    64. You’ll like to stay with certain people because ________.
    A. they know how to get along with others  
    B. you can often get much help from them
    C. they are always glad to do anything for you
    D. they will never get you into trouble
    65. Asking questions might be quite a good way ________.
    A. for you to make more and more new friends
    B. to begin your business talks
    C. to get the conversation going well
    D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression (印象) on others
    66. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to ________.
    A. make clear what kink of person he is
    B. listen to his answer attentively
    C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer
    D. talk with others
    67. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.
    A. are good at making any topic interesting  
    B. never talk too much or too little
    C. always speak in a gentle way
    D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk

    Many older brothers and sisters have an irritating (恼人的) tendency to take charge, a habit   21   while growing up. We can easily see this pattern in Martha, the older sister of Mary and Lazarus. She had a strong   22   to do everything exactly right and was   23  to being in control.
    The fact that Martha, Mary, and Lazarus are remembered for their hospitality takes on added significance when we note that hospitality was a social requirement in their culture. It was considered   24   to turn anyone away from your door.   25  Martha’s family met this requirement very well.
    Martha worried about details. She wished to   26  , to serve, to do the right thing, but she often succeeded in making everyone around her uncomfortable. Perhaps as the oldest she feared shame if her home didn’t measure up to   27 . She tried to do everything she could to make sure that wouldn’t happen. As a result, she found it hard to relax and enjoy her guests and even   28   to accept Mary’s lack of cooperation in all the preparations.

    One factor that can influence consumers is their mood(情绪) state. Mood may be described ____21____ a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied to any particular circumstance. Moods should be ____22____ from feelings which are usually much more stronger ____23____ to specific circumstances, and often conscious. In one sense, the effect of a consumer’s mood can be thought of in ____24____ the same way as our reactions to the ____25____ of our friends — when our friends are happy and “up”, that tends to influence us positively, but when they are “down”, that can have a negative impact on us. ____26____, consumers operating under a given mood state tend to react to stimuli(刺激因素) in a direction consistent with that mood state. Thus, for example, we should expect to see consumers in a positive mood state evaluate products in more of a ____27____ manner than they would when not in such a state. Moreover, mood states appear able to enhance(增强) a consumer’s memory.
    Moods appear to be readily influenced by marketing ____28____. For example, the rhythm(节奏), pitch, and volume of music has been shown to influence behavior such as ____29____ of time spent in supermarkets or intention to purchase products. In addition, advertising can influence consumer’s moods which, in ____30____, are more likely to influence consumers’ reactions to products.
