No one knows how much money Dr. Lyle Tullis gave away to students. I was his colleague for nearly a decade and I never stopped being amazed at his generosity. Our college has a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students. Lots of students take advantage of summer experience oversea. I discovered that no group left for overseas with some of its members receiving financial help from Dr. Tullis.
It wasn’t that he made a lot of money. For one thing, he taught in a church-run school. There, his salary was half of what those people earned in a tax-supported school.
Other colleagues occasionally complained about the low pay. Not Lyle Tullis. Occasionally some professors would leave our campus for a better-paid position. They told me they did so because, with better pay, they could provide for their families.
The size of Lyle Tullis’ paycheck never seemed to be the most important thing to him. I realized that one day when I was thanking him for helping a student, his eyes shone as he said to me, “I’ve got so much money that I don’t know what to do with it. So, I just give it away.”
Most people wouldn’t have thought that way. Dr. Tullis drove one of the oldest cars on campus. It was even older than almost any of the students’ cars. His home, while comfortable, was not fancy at all. But Lyle Tullis lived with the feeling that he had so much money that he needed to give it away.
He was one of the favorite on campus. Cynics(愤世嫉俗者) might say he bought fame. But they would misunderstand. Lyle wanted to devote his life, all of it, to helping others.
1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Dr. Tullis was very popular with his students.
B. The author was wondering why Dr. Tullis gave students money.
C. Dr. Tullis was generous in giving his students financial help.
D. The author had a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students.
2.Why did Dr. Tullis give his money away?
A. He had a good fortune.
B. He wanted to buy fame.
C. He was ready to help students in need.
D. He didn’t know where to put it away.
3.We can learn from the text that .
A. Dr. Tullis was very content with his low pay
B. Dr. Tullis cared little about his family
C. the author felt confused about Dr. Tullis’ generosity
D. many people would misunderstand Dr. Tullis
4.Which of the following can best describe Dr. Tullis?
A. Honest B. Generous
C. Friendly D. Conservative

The Oxford English Dictionary is thinking of adding the Chinese word “tuhao”to its latest edition．The word had become popular in China during the past few months to describe rich people who spend money in wasteful ways.“Tuhao”has been caught on in western countries，either．Similar people are described likewise in his countries.
True speaking，the adoption of the word by foreign countries is example of China’s spreading influence．Foreigners are paying attention to which is happening in China and are picking up some Chinese words．especially the words which express unique
Chinese idea and cannot be easily translated into English. Hopefully，China’s influence for the world will continue to be strengthened with an increasing number of Chinese words adopting by foreign dictionaries．

Did you know that sixty per cent of your body weight is water? However,
a loss of only two per cent of this water throughdehydration(脱水) during exercise can significantly affect your performance. The more you sweat, the more your exerciseperformance declines, unless you drink enough to replace your lossof fluids.
When you lose too much water, you can overheat quite easily,especially in a warm environment.But this is not the only problemyou may face. Dehydration leads to your heart pumping muchfaster, which means exercise becomes more difficult and requiresmore effort. Despite these problems, however, many of us simplydo not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set outon a run.
So why is this? How do we manage to lose so much waterwithout simply drinking more toreplace it? Well, it?s easier thanyou think. When we are at rest, we quickly become aware that weare thirsty and will put that right by having a drink. When weexercise, on the other hand, our thirstmechanism(结构) does notwork as effectively, so we don?t notice early enough that we areactually thirsty. In fact, we only start to feel thirsty when we havealready lost around two per cent of our body weight.
Another problem is that, the more dehydrated we becomeduring exercise, the more difficult it is to prevent furtherdehydration—because our stomachs become intolerant to fluidsand we do not absorb water properly, just when we need it most.
The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage yourintakeproperly
—regular small amounts are preferable, and someshould be drunk before the period of exercise begins. You alsoneed to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing. For example, for one hour of exercise, such as taking part in a 10 km run, you need to drink about two extra litres of water. For longer periods of exercise, sports drinks are recommended.
1.We know from the text that during exercise, dehydration _____.
A. can be easily avoided
B. will lead to poor performance
C. can cause many health problems
D. will be controlled whenever we drink again
2.Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise?
A. Their thirst mechanism stops working. B. Their focus is on the exercise.
C. Their thirst response is slow. D. Their stomachs are full.
3.When exercising, you are advised to _____.
A. have regular breaks B. drink water accordingly
C. drink sports water in advance D. have at least two litres of water
