［1］Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．

［2］ Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包围） by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food．

［3］There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight． I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops． If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives．

［4］There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days　 _______________．They do not walk to school．When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games． Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．

［5］The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

       Teenagers in England do much the same as children in America do. They enjoy sending messages by their mobile phones and they also like swimming, listening to the latest music, watching TV and surfing the Internet.

    How do teenagers in England spend their free time and holidays? Let’s follow Sally, a British teenager, and spend five days with her during her school holiday.

    Day One

   After breakfast, Sally’s mother went out and left her alone at home. She checked her mobile phone during lunch —one of her friends sent her a message early in the morning. Dinner was at 6:30 p.m. After that, she finished her English home-work. Then she surfed the Internet.

Day Two

   Sally and her mother paid a visit to their friends and went swimming together. Later, they went shopping for clothes and books, and had dinner in a restaurant.

Day Three

   She went to the supermarket with her mother to buy fish and chips for lunch as well as some pens. After she got back home, she spent the next few hours surfing the Internet and watching TV.

Day Four

   She surfed the Internet. Her mother took her out for lunch before she went to work. She then read stories after lunch.

Day Five

   She woke up at 2 p.m., and so did her mother. They went to a park. Her mother met some friends there. When they got home, it was already time for dinner. Afterwards, she did her homework until 10 p.m.

71. When did Sally do her homework?

A. In the morning.    B. In the afternoon.   C. At lunch time.     D. In the evening.

C. She read books.         D. She went shopping.

74. How many times did Sally and her mother meet their friends during the five days?

75. According to the passage, it can be inferred that ________.

       Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs this past month, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate (失业率) to 7.6 percent. But not all of those fired workers are sitting at home, reading the job advertisements and waiting for the phone to ring. Thousands of people are returning to school, making public colleges and universities among the few bright places in the disappointing US economy.
     At a time when many Americans have had their work hours cut or have even lost their jobs, Sherian Huddleston is working overtime. She works at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) where she oversees (监督) the enrollment (注册) of new students. The university’s population grew by 800 students this term —an increase of 4 percent over last spring’s enrollment. Huddleston says seeing the enrollment rise in a failing economy is not unexpected. "When people are out of work," she points out, "they will ask 'What else can I do?’ or 'What other careers can I follow?’ They will often return to school if they have not completed a degree before."
     Older returning students aren’t the only ones increasing the enrollment at MTSU. Huddleston says she’s also seeing an increase in student transfers (转移). "Students who went out of state, or even within the state, to more expensive schools are transferring to public schools to make use of the lower cost of going to school here," she explains.

66. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Falling American Economy

B. College Enrollment up in a Down Economy

C. Colleges Have More Students Than Before
D. Going to College Is No Longer Difficult

67. According to the passage, many students return to school ______.

A. to make more money

B. to read job advertisements

C. to complete a degree
D. to ask their schoolmates for help

68. How many students enrolled in MTSU last spring based on the passage?

A. 768.     B. 19,200.      C. 20,000.     D. 800

69. Many students are transferring to public schools mainly because ______.

A. public schools provide better education

B. public schools offer better jobs to their students

C. they don’t want to be influenced by the falling economy

D. the cost of public schools is lower and they can save money

70. Which of the following is TRUE about Sherian Huddleston?

A. She is working more hours than before because of the worsening economy.

B. She is a student of Middle Tennessee State University.

C. She disagrees with those who are returning to school.

D. She is surprised to see the enrollment go up.



The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韵律).""Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."...

One younger musician said, "There are a couple of clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."

I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative (消极的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining or blaming (责备) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".

There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. The choice is always yours to make. Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

61. The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is to show that ______.

A. musicians’ living conditions are not good

B. people in that town have poor taste in music

C. different people have different attitudes

D. young people are more likely to succeed

62. The underlined part "they’re rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A. they’ll push you ahead

B. they’ll have an influence on you

C. they’ll keep you from moving on

D. they’ll help you realize your dreams

63. Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?

A. He is more active than the others.

B. He can earn more than the others.

C. He has more things to do than the others.

D. His attitude is more positive than the others.

64. By doing the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 4, you can ______.

A. make the right kind of friends

B. improve your ability to make friends

C. develop a better relationship with your friends

D. make some new friends with the same interests as you

65. We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.

A. the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend

B. one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people

C. the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends

D. one should avoid making friends with people who have lots of difficulties

I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.
     However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke.
