There was the one

11、 in India that was so crowded, I had to climb onto the top just to breathe. Neither will I forget the bus in South Africa that was almost taken up by monkeys. No matter how entertaining they were at the time, none can compare to my first ride on what I now call the Leisure Village Local.When I first

12、 moved into Leisure Village, I didnt even know bus transportation was provided. Then I had an operation on my left foot and I couldnt drive. As I didnt want to keep making trouble for friends to shop for me, I decided to try out the Leisure Village Local. The next morning, undaunted, I stood with th

13、e support of my crutches(拐杖) and waited. Suddenly, the bus arrived. As soon as I boarded the bus, I discovered I was all by myself. Then the bus approached another stop, and four women climbed aboard. They sat next to me and introduced themselves.A few minutes later, we arrived at the Wal-Mart in Mi

14、ddle Island. As soon as we entered, one of my new friends showed me how to operate the motorized shopping cart(购物车). Another walked alongside the entire time, waiting to help if something was out of reach. One hour later, another insisted on carrying my bags onto the bus. And the fourth woman carrie

15、d my bags to my front door when we got back. I thanked them all for their help, and told them I would see them soon.The next day morning, I found a brown paper bag at the front door. Inside was a giant bowl of chicken soup, and a note.“Get well soon.” It was signed, “Your guardian angels.”I rode the

16、 Leisure Village Local two more times later, but didnt see any of my guardian angels. Maybe theyre helping someone else, I thought. Or, maybe they flew south for the winter.21.Why did the author decide to try out the Leisure Village Local?A. He had an operation to carry out.B. He has no other transp

19、l Association voted, for the first time, to declare obesity(肥胖) a disease. How should the rest of us respond? When we meet obese people, should we cast them a knowing glance of concern and ask how they are doing? Should we send flowers and “get well soon” cards to obese family members and friends?Sh

20、ould the U.S. declare war on obesity, as we once did on cancer?If obesity truly is a disease, then over 78 million adults and 12 million children in America just gotclassified as sick. Yet many sensible people know that declaring obesity a disease is a mistake. Simply put, obesity is not a disease.

21、To be sure, it is a risk factor for some diseases. Yet everyone who is obese does not get sick, and many normal-weight people do not stay healthy. I have known slim people who took good care of themselves throughout their lives yet fell ill and died young. Others who exhibited no particular interest

22、 in their health and did not watch their weight lived to an old age. In most cases, we simply cannot tell from a persons weight what lies ahead for them in life. Consider Winston Churchill. Though average in height, Churchill weighed up to 250 pounds. He smoked cigars and drank relatively heavily. H

23、e did not work out. Yet he became perhaps the most important statesmen of the 20th century and one of the greatest politicians in history. He lived to age 90.Is obesity bad for people? For some, especially patients who are extremely overweight, the answer is almost certainly yes. Would many overweig

24、ht people benefit from exercising more and eating less? Again, the answer is likely yes. But this does not make obesity a disease. Many people are not harmed by carrying extra pounds, some may actually benefit from it. For these reasons, we should be careful before labeling obese people diseased.25W

25、hat can we learn from the third paragraph ? A. Over 90 million Americans are more or less overweight. B. People with good sense would agree with the declaration. C.

27、 the American Medical Associations declaration on obesity?A. FavorableB. Uncaring C. Disapproving D. Friendly28. Where can we probably find the text?A. A government reportB. A popular science magazineC. A website about losing weightD. A book about famous peopleCAt the age of 45 I decided to learn th

28、e English language. Not that I didnt know the language, but to improve my command over the language, I joined English academic classes close to my house. In one class, the instructor gave us a sheet of a hundred words and told us to write the opposite of each word as homework. At home I sat with tha

29、t page but though I could manage the easy words quickly, for certain words I had to take the help of the dictionary.Feeling relaxed and like an achiever, my new found enthusiasm forced me to explore some more words. Exploring the dictionary, for every word I found the opposite word (except all forms

30、 of nouns). The entire night went on exploring words, but the night was not enough to complete the dictionary. I had enough time to hand in my homework, so the next day, after work once again I sat in through the night and started exploring opposite words from the dictionary. The exercise was easy,

31、but suddenly something struck my mind. Instead of finding the words which have opposite words, I should look for words that do NOT have any opposite word. After going through sleepless nights that week, I could not find a single word which doesnt have an opposite word.This amazed me and forced me to

32、 conclude that without the opposite word the original word doesnt have its real meaning or value. In other words, every word is incomplete without its opposite. The conclusion forced me to think differently. Although many questions remained unanswered in my mind, the one thing I concluded was that t

33、hese words are created by humans and every human possesses two qualities within himself, Positive and Negative. Similarly he created words with opposites. This proves that whatever we welcome in our life, we will also be welcoming the opposite of it. And at the end of the day we will complain about

34、the negative forces surrounding us, making us weak, dull, pessimistic(悲观) and so onIsnt this strange? 29. The author finished his first homework _.
