As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and eat only as much as you need.

Keep away from low-nutrition snacks

That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty orsugary snacks you eat between meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social events or as a special treat.

Leave half an hour between main course and dessert

Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the table. That will tell your brain that food time is over.

Make yours a small helping

Put an end to super-sized portions. You won’t be missing out—today’s small was the medium or large of a few decade ago. Select or serve yourself a modest portion and eat it slowly enjoying the flavors. Before you know it, small will feel just right. What’s more, ordering the smaller size leads to wearing the smaller size.

Distract yourself

When you find yourself hunting down food, even though you’re even hungry, do something else for 20 minutes. Drink a large glass of water as thirst is often confused with a desire for food. Choose something that engages your brain as well as your hands, such as writing a letter or listening to a song. You could also go for a short walk or do something that you enjoy. If you think you really are hungry, set an alarm for 20 minutes’ time and if you still want to eat when it rings, fine. If not, the urge will have passed. 1. Which way suits you better if you tend to order a large portion of food? A. Distract yourself.

B. Make yours a small helping. C. Keep away from low-nutrition snacks.

D. Leave half an hour between main course and dessert.

2. Why should you have a break between main course and dessert? A. To give people time to chat.

B. To have a good appetite for sweet stuff. C. To reduce appetite for dessert.

D. To give the host time to remove your plate.

3. When you find yourself pursuing for food, what should you do? A. Eat some biscuits. B. Eat some sugary snacks. C. Have some soft drinks. D. Listen to a lovely melody.

B

When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”

Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how

to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.” 4. What do we know about John？ A. He received little love from his family. B. He had few childhood playmates. C. He enjoyed his career and marriage. D. He was envied by others in his childhood. 5. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______. A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to competence C. an example for parents' expectations of their children D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men 6. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______. A. recording the boys' effort in school B. comparing different sets of scores C. evaluating the men's mental health D. measuring the men's problem solving ability 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Competent adults know more about love than work. B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C. Love brings more joy to people than work does. D.Independenceis the key to one's success.

C

Thursday, two Russian submarines(潜艇) dived down 2.5 miles into the Arctic Ocean and planted a national flag onto a piece of continental shelf known as the Lomonosov Ridge. Rising from the center of the Arctic Basin, the flag sent a clear message to the surrounding nations: Russia had just laid claim(权利) to the vast oil and gas reserves contained in this underwater area.

AfterRussia, theUnited States,Norway,SwedenandFinlandare all trying to gain profit. Projections show that the area of land and sea that falls within theArctic Circleis home to an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil, an incredible 13% of Earth’s reserves. It’s also estimated to contain almost a quarter of untapped global gas resources. But long before this oil race began, how did theArcticbecome so rich in energy?

“The first thing you realize is that theArctic—unlike the Antarctic—is an ocean surrounded by continents”, Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College London, said. Firstly, this means there’s a huge quantity of organic material available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis of what will ultimately become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust(地壳), which makes up about 50% of its oceanic area. That’s significant because continental crust typically contains deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks.

Here, it gets inserted in rock and preserved in anoxic(缺氧) waters, meaning they contain little oxygen. “Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But if the sea is deep enough, the oxygenated waters at the top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base,” Fraser explained. Conserved within these oxygen-free basins, the matter maintains compounds that finally make it useful as an energy source for millions of years in the future.

8. Why didRussiaplant a national flag onto the Lomonosov Ridge? A. To tell surrounding countries its armed forces. B. To show its advanced technology of submarines. C. To show abundant natural resources in theArcticBasin. D. To claim its privilege to explore for oil and gas in the area. 9. What’s the function of the last sentence in paragraph 2?

A. Making a comparison. B. Serving as a connecting link.

C. Analyzing the cause and effect. D. Drawing the conclusion of the text. 10. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Oxygen only exists in the top part of the ocean. B. Organic materials mostly exist in the basins with oxygen. C. Water containing oxygen turns organic materials into oil and gas.

D. Oxygen-free environment counts in the formation of the arctic’s rich energy. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. What makes theArcticattractive? B. Why do many nations focus on theArctic? C. Why is there so much oil in theArctic? D. How does theArcticBasincome into being?

D

The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator fromWisconsin. During the late 1960s,

Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.

What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life, killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.

On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for a healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which had previously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.

As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.

12. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “synonymous with” in paragraph 1? A. familiar with B. opposite to C. different from D. equal to 13. Why did Nelson found Earth Day? A. To support students’ antiwar movement.

B. To draw people’s attention to the seriousness of the oil spill. C. To arouse American’s awareness of environmental conservation. D. To educate Americans to protect marine life threatened by oil spill events. 14. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Businesses would like to follow environmental standards. B. Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.

C. It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action. D. The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries. 15. The passage mainly talks about_______. A. how Earth Day came into being B. why Earth Day was so significant C. who the founder of Earth Day was D. what Earth Day meantto the world

Recently I have moved by an advertisement which encourage people to go home more often. I don't think it costs too many to show love for our parents. First, do not just visit them during holidays or at weekends and try to accompany them as much as possible. Second, if time permits, it does them well to take them to travel. Traveling is a good way for us to get relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery outdoors. Finally, we'd better have a chat with them, so they can exchange ideas for us and know that what is going on in our life. Anyway, better later than never.

It was an evening just like any other in the Miller family apartment. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were tired from working all day and the children were busy playing on tablets (平板电脑).

“Mum, can you play a game with me now?” said Amy, \"Dad, do you want to play battleships?” asked Ben. Suddenly, the lights went off. The apartment went completely dark. \"Oh no! We have lost all our electricity,\" cried Mr. Miller. \"There must be a power cut in the city, \" said Mrs. Miller.

\"Is everybody okay?” asked Mr. Miller. \"Yes, I'm okay,\" said Amy. \"Wow! It's so dark in here,\" said Ben. \"I've never seen our house like this before.\"

Mr. Miller picked up his torch (手电筒) and turned it on. But there was only a small beam of light.

\"Oh no!” complained Mr. Miller. \"The batteries in this torch are not very good. I don't know how long this torchlight will last. \" The Miller family looked out of their apartment window. Mrs. Miller pointed at the sky. \"Look at all the stars. \" “Wow! I can see so many,\" said Ben.

Then Mrs. Miller wiped her forehead. \"I'm feeling very hot,\" she said. \"So am I,\" said Amy. \"Who turned the heater on?”Mr. Miller frowned. “The heater is not on. The machine that keeps us cool has stopped working,\" Mrs Miller answered. Oh no! The fridge is not working either and all the food will be ruined,\" she cried. And what about the freezer?” asked Ben. \"The ice cream cake for Grandma is in there. It's a special treat for her.”

“That's a big problem, said Amy. \"The ice cream cake will melt if it gets warm.”

Just then, the torch went out. \"And now we have an even bigger problem,\" said Mr. Miller. \"Oh dear! What do we do now?” Mrs. Miller asked. Amy saw her tablet glowing (发出暗淡的光) in the corner of the room. \"I have an idea,\" she said.
