hospital, no one said a word. one day, would i only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?that september, i entered middle school. most nights i had homework that included an armful of books to read. to keep up with other children, i took great trouble to finish the task. with my nose a couple of inches from the page, i was tired easily. whats worse, after i had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools. however, then i did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. instead, mom volunteered to read out loud. mom worked part time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with grandma. in spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. she put on her reading glasses. mom always thought those glasses made her look old. to me, she looked like a teacher. in my room, moms voice compared with the ticking of the clock. being forced to focus on listening, i found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. when the teacher asked a question, i raised my hand with confidence. teachers praised me for having a good memory. reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. though i could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book. true to what the doctor said, the worst came,

about being fat and doing exercise. some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. here are some more myths: ill never lose weight - i come from a fat family wrong! while we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little. i am fat because i burn calories slowly wrong! fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）. in fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately. exercise is boring wrong! anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. the key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. if you enjoy a sunday walk, take a different route. if you do yoga, try a tai chi class. if you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge. no pain, no gain wrong! exercise is not meant to hurt. indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. you may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. if you dont, rest and seek medical advice. 8. what does the author think about being fat? a. it is the family genes that make people fat. b. people are fat because they consume too little energy. c. a diary of exercise can prevent people from being fat. d. it is the consequence of peoples unbalanced lifestyle. 9. according to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting? a. by taking varied exercise b. by choosing simple exercise. c. by doing regular exercise. d. by sticking

felt. c. pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal. d. getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body. 11. what is the purpose of the passage? a. to declare the importance of keeping fit. b. to clarify(阐明) some false ideas about fatness and exercise. c. to confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit. d. to explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise. dif you want to help children develop language and speech skills, ucla researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.the effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found. “adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction，” said the study s lead author, frederick zimmerman, an associate professor in the school of public health at the university of california, los angeles. the researchers also found that tv viewing didnt have much of an effect positively or negatively as long as it wasnt displacing (取代) conversations between an adult and a child.the ucla study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. they represented a variety of incomes and education. the researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.assessed(评定) separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. when looked at alone, tv was negatively associated with language development. but, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“the more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is,” zimmerman said. “although its mostly done unconsciously (无意识地), parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. theyll also tailor their speech to the child. parents can give a child words by talking to them about what theyre doing, such as, im putting on your pajamas now. but give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment,” she added. “if parents can carve out (分拆) some conversation time maybe at bath time or at dinner time thats a wonderful thing.”12. the researchers also found that tv viewing _.a. had a little effect on a childs language development b. could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentc. affected a childs language development more negatively than positivelyd. affected a childs language development both negatively and positively13. frederick zimmerman would probably agree that _.a. children should watch tv programs selectivelyb. parents should let their children talk most of the timec. the conversation between parents and children should be two-wayd. its no good for parents to correct their childrens mistakes when they are speaking14. we can conclude from the last paragraph that _.a. parents should leave a child talking alone b. parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysc. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timed. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child15. the underlined word “tailor” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by _.a. control b. improve c. pass d.
