You never played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!
Like many other teenage boys, Jones loves sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight in trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may be a good football game player by the end of the summer.
Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks' playing the game, he has lost another 10!
A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console (游戏主机), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study.
The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals.
In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.
Researchers are now looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video games in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination (协调能力), and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games.
The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such to dance away your extra weight?
（1）The underlined part is trying to tell us _____.
A.the study involves many insurance companies
B.the study is only an insurance company's business
C.the study is less important than the insurance company's money
D.it's not only the insurance company that is concerned about the study
（2）It can be inferred that _____.
A.the government thinks highly of the dance game
B.in West Virginia, more than 25 % of the adults were too fat
C.a teacher is a failure in using the video game in her classes
D.the US Education Department isn't interested in the game
（3）The most suitable title of the passage is _____.
A.Dance Away Your Weight
B.Play the Video Dance Game
C.Solve the Problem of Obesity
D.Cut the Cost of Obesity Claims

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Seventy years ago, a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theater groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
（1）What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A.To introduce young theater groups.
B.To honor heroes of World WarⅡ.
C.To attract great artists from Europe.
D.To bring Europe together again.
（2）Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A.They owned a public house there.
B.They wanted to take part in the festival.
C.They thought they were also famous.
D.They came to take up a challenge.
（3）Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
A.Popular writers
B.Artists from around the world.
C.University students.
D.Performers of music and dance.
（4）We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival______.
A.keeps growing rapidly
B.has gone beyond an art festival
C.gives shows all year round
D.has become a non-official event

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job — looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. ＂It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.＂ Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. ＂The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，＂ said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like ＂a shot in the arm＂，which ＂makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything＂. He said，＂The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.＂
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，＂Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.＂
（1）Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
（2）Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C.you have to make things on your own
D.it will finally build your character
（3）What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A.He started traveling alone at an early age.
B.He was once shot in the arm.
C.His website inspires others a lot.
D.He used to work as a salesman.
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A.Travel Abroad
B.Travel Light
C.Travel Alone
D.Travel Wide and Far

Dear editor,

I am an active girl, and I speak and laugh loudly in the classroom, like a boy. I don’t care about small matters. On the contrary, my neighbor, the girl who sits next to me, speaks quietly and dare not do the things I often do. I can understand this. What I can’t stand is that she often gets angry with me about small things. How can I get along with her?
