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 fat-giving food.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.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. 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.The above are the main reasons from 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.24. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A. Those who often take exercise.B. Those who often watch television. C. Those who often have meals at home.D. Those who often walk to school.25. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight mainly because _ . A. their parents often cook meals for them B. they are too busy to go out and play C. they cant choose what to eat D. therere too many fast food shops around26. The underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably means _ . A. forcingB. guidingC. drivingD. moving27. The main purpose of this passage is to _ . A. tell a storyB. provide factsC. give adviceD.compare opinionsCOn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners. When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(闲逛) around without adult supervision(监管). A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of childrens world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks. “We are depriving(剥夺) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades(十年). I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I wont be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own abilities.28. Hearing the authors daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friends feel_. A. worried B. proud C. doubtful D. terrified29. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that _.A. American kids enjoy playing at homeB. German parents are less protective than American parentsC. German kids like taking risks more than American kidsD. American parents dont limit their childrens activities in their leisure time30. Its implied from Professor Grays words that _. A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risksB. more and more parents suffer from mental problems C. children are having more opportunities to take control of their livesD. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development31. Which of the following words can best describe the authors parenting? A. Open-minded. B. Irresponsible. C. Careless. D. Protective. D I live on the West Coast of British Columbia with my husband and three children. Our day started like any other day. My husband left for work in the north of the town, which is an hour and a halfs drive. The younger children caught their bus to school ten minutes away. Our oldest attends high school and is a 40-minute drive away. I work at home in the office, working on the computer.It was November 2006 and the news had reported gusty winds.

Another tree exploded and my heart was racing.When the school bus carrying the youngsters arrived, I ran to get them. No sooner had we made it to the house than another tree exploded. The children were clearly scared, so I loaded them up into the car and we parked in the middle of the yard, where no trees could land on us, it was starting to get dark.My oldest son didnt come home on the bus and my husband was stranded at work. I called the high school and reached my son. He said he was stranded and didnt know what to do. I called a friend in town for help. He managed to get my son home to me. Finally, my husband managed to get home.We had been prepared for such events, as we had a generator, candles, a wood stove, fresh water, batteries and two freezers full of food. We were without power for five days. But we didnt panicwe had all the emergency equipment we needed. Thankfully, none of our neighbours were injured, but the damage was extensive. We are witnessing climate change. We need to be prepared. 32. When did the mother hear a tree crack for the third time?A. When she was on the phone. B. After she hung up the phone.C. Right before she and her kids went into the house. D. Right after she and her kids got into the house.33. Why did the mother park the car in the middle of the yard?A. It was dark inside the house. B. It was safer there than in the house.C. She wanted to wait for her family there. D. She wanted to receive help from others.34. What does the underlined phrase “stranded at work” probably mean?A.

However, eating too fast may result in many health problems. 36 So we should slow down our eating with the following four simple ways: 37 Put down the phone, close the computer, turn off the TV and focus on your food. Pay attention to the taste and temperature of it. Synching up（使同步） your mind and your mouth will help you get more pleasure from the food that you are eating, giving you the chance to notice the good flavor from every bite.Set the table. 38 Set a place for yourself at the table you feel special. If you sit down and eat your meal, you will be more likely to slow down and enjoy it.Eat with chopsticks. 39 However, using chopsticks, no matter what food you are eating, can help you learn to put smaller amounts in your mouth, one mouthful at a time.Chew wisely. Count your bites as you chew. 40 Food that is well chewed will be digested more readily and lead to fewer gastrointestinal（肠胃的）problems.A. Are you eating quickly?B. Dont do other things during your meal.C. Eating too fast is harmful to our health.D. For example, it can lead to weight gain, experts say.E.

Just 54 .I often quarreled with him and I could see he was quite 55 because I didnt seem to care about my study.
