We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and ea

11、rly flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly b

12、ecomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” re

13、fers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case o

14、f a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isnt young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, lets say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marath

15、on, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “Thats amazing! After all, hes no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Lets say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, shes no spring chicken.” That response

18、Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.CUsing “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.DExpressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.22（8分） In 2011, the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles.

19、Most of the old buses were deserted, a few were sold, and about 100 of them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum at some stage.A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldnt have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses. Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the b

On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge, Leyland, Bedford etc. . You were equally likely to find football pennants(锦旗)and the like decorating the

22、 cabs. Real bus experts would have recognized that these were there mainly for decorative reasons, and were seldom an accurate reflection of the vehicles origins.Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station. They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more

23、 comfortable than the older types. However, I miss the old buses. I remember, when you boarded your bus, you had to prepare the correct change to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on. If you were seated anywhere near the front, you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the ri

24、ght of their steering wheel. The reason for this, as any Maltese would tell you, was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them.

27、 Germany was the first to analyze the accumulative effect of several key health behaviors on disability-free and total life expectancy.Previous studies have looked at single health behaviors.Myrskyla and colleagues instead examined several behaviors simultaneously（同时）,which allowed them to determine

28、 how long and healthy the lives of people who had avoided most of the well-known individual behavioral risk factors were.The researchers noted that each of the three unhealthy behaviorsobesity,smoking,and unhealthy consumption of alcoholwas linked to a reduction in life expectancy and to an earlier

29、occurrence of disabilities.However, smoking was found to be associated with an early death but not with an increase in the number of years with disability,while obesity led to a long period of time with disability.Excessive alcohol consumption was found to cause both decreased lifespan（寿命）and a redu

30、ced number of healthy years.However,the absence of all of these risky healthy behaviors was found to be associated with the greatest number of healthy years.The most striking finding was the discovery of a large difference in average lifespan between the groups who were the most and the least at ris

32、to focus on prevention.Those who avoid risky health behaviors are achieving very long and healthy lives,”said Myrskyla.Its not without reason that we are told repeatedly to switch to a healthy lifestyle,which can prevent you from various illnesses as well as keep you young and active.

37、 that she wanted a new bicycle.As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didnt mention it again.

38、 proudly announced that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.”It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay

39、and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a high-ticket item and she is “such a big girl”, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to

40、 make a tiny bike.Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.She looked at me and then at her dad and said, “so does this mean that I

41、 trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming, I said, “Yes.”Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. Id rather keep this than get a real bike.”At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her ever

47、ken, or pork with ordinary insects！Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic(驯养的) animals.
