when i was 4, my parents moved from coeur dalene, idaho, to fairbanks, alaska, where adventure was never very far away.we arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. all that sunlight was fantastic for mums vegetable garden. working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didnt care much about my bedtime.dad was a railway express agent and mum was his clerk. that left me in a mess. i usually managed to find some trouble to get into. once i had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. i had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldnt really get a good fire going. the smoke got pretty bad, though, and when i made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. the policemen took my matches and drove me home.mum and dad were occupied in the garden and dad told the police to keep me, and they did! i had a tour of the prison before mum rescued me. i hadnt turned 5 yet.as i entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. would it surprise you to know that i soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?as for leonhard seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者), i think i knew him well because i was taken for a ride with his white dog team one sunday. at the time i didnt realize what a superstar he was, but i do remember the ride well. i was wrapped(包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.in 1950, we moved back to coeur dalene, but we got one more alaskan adventure when leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of alaska.1. what can be inferred about the authors family?a. his father was a cruel man.b. his parents didnt love him.c. his parents used to be very busy.d. his mother didnt have any jobs.2. what happened when the author was 4?a. he learned to smoke.b. he was locked in a basement.c. he was arrested by the police.d. he nearly caused a fire accident.3. which of the following is true?a. leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.b. the author spent his whole childhood in alaska.c. leonhard often visited the authors family after 1950.d. the author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in alaska.4. what is the authors purpose of writing the text?a. to look back on his childhood with adventures.b. to describe the extreme weather of alaska.c. to express how much he misses leonhard.d. to show off his pride in making trouble. bthere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas 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 weighti come from a fat familywrong! 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 exercising too little.i am fat because i burn calories slowlywrong! 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 boringwrong! anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. the key is to develop a balanced and varied programme 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 gainwrong! 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 is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. if they dont, rest and seek medical advice.5. 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 becoming fat.d. it is the consequence of peoples unbalanced lifestyle.6. according to the author, how can we make exercise more
