I dont think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you plain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know, doctor,” he said, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.” 1. The writer thinks that_.

He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked: “Are these yours?” “Yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地). “Have you killed the man?” “No, no, sir.” the farmer said in a hurry. “When did you see the dead man?” “About seven last evening.” “Did you see who killed the man?” “No, Sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it yet?” “No, Sir.” The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and send him into prison.That evening the officer went on trying .Pointing to the knife, he asked again. “Have you seen it yet?” “Yes, Sir.” The officer was happy and asked, “When and where?” “I saw it here this afternoon, sir.”5The farmer decided to sell the vegetables to_ .

B know if he had seen the dead manC ask when he saw the dead man D ask if he had seen the knife CAre you carrying too much on your back to school? Im sure lots of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry about that younger and younger students are having problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.“Its hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because its so heavy,” said Rich Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rich is among students who have mon school bags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but many other choose rolling (转动的) bags. But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and houses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight. Scott Butch, a black doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children dont stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books that they will be reading at night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all.9. From the passage we can learn that _.A. only children in China carry too heavy school bagsB. children in other countries dont carry too heavy school bagsC. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags10.

If a child carries a heavy school bag, _.A. his back and neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurtC. his hands will be hurt D. his feed will be hurt12. Some students think the best answer to this problem is that _. A. they should have a little homework to do after they got homeB. their teacher had better not ask them to do any homeworkC. they should only take home library books they will read at nightD. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick books DWhat will man be like in the futurein 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they bee weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in mon with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.13. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing? A. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner. B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years. D. Mans arms and legs have bee lighter and weaker.14. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future? A. He thinks and feels in a different way. B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses. C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt use them.15. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. mans life will be different in the future B. future man will look quite different from us C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. Mans organs functions will change16. It is implied that _A. human beings will bee less attractive in the future B. body organs will bee poorer if they are not used often C. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictable EBy May, after three months, I had lost 22 pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “ How did you lose so much weight? ”. Those pliments（赞扬）made me feel good and confident.Soon I dropped to 110 ponds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a presenta bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would e to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.By mid-June, when school was ing to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Is it worthwhile to be thin?Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with the dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.17.
