because i have a sweet tooth and i love cream cakes.not having treats can be good for your health. ive heard that the burts, a family of five in south east england，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病).it wasnt easy. to avoid temptation, i dont go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3 ,000 cakes a week.they were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (胰岛素). he advised her to eat a normal,balanced diet,but the burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.and how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? jason burt said that for a month they felt weak. but later on it all changed. he says he feels “more awake” and full of energy.and what about the burt family business? it had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if its right. no problem there,says jason burts wife, clare. she points out that shes got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. the family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.i wonder

children have the best of everything. one of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. they are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. choices include private school, charter school, public school or home schooling.fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their childs overall intelligence. according to ross a. thompson, phd, professor of psychology at the university of california at davis, a childs brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.researchers at northwestern university in chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. and numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a childs mental as well as physical health. some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. they state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a childs brain development.the average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. this can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. the more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.25. from the first paragraph, we can infer that .a. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids various demandsb. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsc. parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsd. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids growth26. what suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?a. to train kids as early as possible.b. to try as many means as possible.c. to help kids develop as fully as possible.d. to use as many available resources as possible.27. what does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?a. the proper time to teach children to learn languages.b. the effective ways to help develop childrens brains.c. the vital factors to have a great effect on childrens health.d. the practical steps to arouse childrens interest in study.28.we can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with .a. inspirationb. introductionc. suggestiond. promotioncbrad closed the door slowly as sue left home to visit her mother. expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite tv talk show on his first day off in months. “this will be like a walk in the park,” hed told his wife. “ill look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids”mike, randy, and alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” when food had not appeared within thirty seconds, randy began using his spoon on alexs head as if it were a drum. alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）. mike chanted “wheres my toast, wheres my toast” in the background. brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.life became worse after breakfast. mike wore randys underwear on his head. randy locked himself in the bathroom, while alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. someone named “not me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. brad knew the talk show had already started.by ten oclock, things were out of control. alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.at exactly 11:17, brad called the daycare centre (日托所）.“i suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away. can i bring the boys over in a few minutes?” the answer was obviously “yes” because brad was smiling.29. when his wife left home.，brad expected to .a. go out for a walk in the park b. watch tv

students from 20 universities did as they competed in the u.s. department of energy 2009 solar decathlon (十项全能). like a game show where teams compete against each other, the solar decathlons student teams competed against each other in ten separate events to see who could build the best solar-powered house. the team from germany took the top honor. the contest is held on the national mall in washington d.c., and is open to the public. in order to win, the decathlons teams have to successfully host a dinner party, do the laundry, run the dishwasher, and maintain a comfortable temperature in their solar-powered houses. they also have to make their houses look attractive. team germanys winning cube house produced a surplus (剩余) of power, even during three days of rain. this is the fourth time the solar decathlon has been held. the houses keep getting better and better. the department of energy does research on solar and building technologies. in the 1990s, we were seeking expertise to help design houses that would integrate (合并) solar systems in a reliable way. i came up with the idea of having a competition to challenge students at architecture and engineering schools to design solar-powered houses from the ground up. i thought that having a competition would motivate these students to be creative. the new generation of our country should be innovative (创新的). they may come up with solutions that would help our country, said richard j. king, the decathlons director.33. the first paragraph serves as a(n) _. a. explanation b. conclusionc. background d.
