after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero.the drunken thief who pretended he was superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.theif ethan adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty.but he was horrified when the owners 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.from his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “to keep her quiet, i told her i was really superman and id soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.”“she called my bluff (向摊牌) and told me, if youre superman, show me you can fly or ill scream.“i had no choice so i stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. i saw another roof below and i thought i could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. i know it doesnt make sense but it did to me when i was drunk.”police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain.he now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.police spokesman

know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy(嫉妒)? for most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. when this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. dont let jealousy spoil your relationships. deal withitconfidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.it can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship youll have to do just that. dont approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能), just take some time alone with them and let them know that youve been feeling like theres been something coming between you. if they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.when you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. if, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesnt get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. dont limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. this destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. if you cant, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you wont.24. according to the author, the jealousy emotion is_.a. normal b. productive c. destructive d. extreme25. what does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?a. how to solve the problem of jealousy.b. why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.c. how to explain your jealousy to your friends.d. why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.26. what can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?a. theres always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.b. jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.c. you may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.d. you should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution27. this passage is mainly intended for_.a. female readersb. studentsc. teenagersd. best friendscthe creative projects of world food program (wfp) focused on preventing hunger from taking hold in the future and breaking the cycle of hunger. here are some of the ways in which we work to prevent hunger in the future: school mealsas well as directly addressing hunger, school meals projects encourage families to keep their children in school and help them build better futures. if children arent hungry they will concentrate on their lessons. with a solid education growing children have a better chance of finding their own way out of hunger. these projects benefit girls especially. for more information: /schools meals. food for assets（有用的人）wfps food for assets projects provide the hungry with food to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. when poor farmers no longer have to worry about the next meal, they have the time and energy to build irrigation（灌溉） systems that can increase production. similarly, food for training projects allow the poor to devote time to learning skills that will sustain（维持） them economically in the future. for more information: /food-assets. hiv/aidswfp uses its food rations(配给) to reduce the blow of hiv and aids. the agency distributes its rations to people living with hiv and aids, so they can keep providing for their families for longer and have time to transfer vital knowledge and skills to the growing number of aids children-the next generation of food providers in developing countries. for more information: /hiv-aids. purchase for progresswfp buys large amounts of food in developing countries. it has this purchasing power and uses it to help poor farmers contact reliable markets where they can get competitive prices for their produce. with secure markets, farmers will be encouraged to produce more and innovate(创新).the knock-on effect is producing more food for everyone. for more information: www.wfp.ofp/purchase-progress.28. the text is written with the purpose of _.a. seeking solutions to some hot issuesb. introducing some of wfps projectsc. raising money for the people in needd. calling readers attention to the poor29. the farmers who want to receive some training should

farmers to produce more foodc. introduce new ways of farming to farmersd. motive farmers to plant different kind of crops.dlosing weight comes with a lot of health benefitsincluding making your brain sharper.there have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, (认知功能) possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. yet, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by john gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at kent state university.growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). so gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. for their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. all of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. to begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. at the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. scores for the volunteers who didnt lose weight dropped even further.the study helped gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. now that hes seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional wayeating healthier and getting more active. he expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “if we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.32. there is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _.a. believe overweight only affects our bodyb. have focused on ways to sharpen peoples mindc. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityd. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions33. the result of gunstads study shows that _.a. losing weight has little effect on peoples memoryb. losing weight can improve peoples mental functions c. overweight people are likely to have psychology problems d. overweight peoples abilities of concentration differ greatly34. what is gunstad planning to prove next in his research?a. slim people are smarter than overweight people.b. healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.c. traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.d. overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.35. which of the following is the best title for the text?a. body weight and healthb. losing weight by operationc. ways to improve mental functionsd. losing weight to sharpen your mind第2节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。many people are
