slimming club. my target was 140 pounds and i lost 30 pounds in six months. i felt great and people kept saying how good i looked. but christmas came and i started to slip back into my old eating habits. i told myself id lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year.but it didnt happen. instead of losing the pounds, i put them on. id lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didnt make any differencebut the scales dont lie.roz juma：to be honest, i never weigh myself any more. ive learnt to be happy with myself. it seemed to me that i would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. my idea is simple. you shouldnt be too much thinking about food and dieting. instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. this is obviously the size im meant to be and, most of all, im happy with it.lesley codwin：i was very happy at winning young slimmer of the year. id look in the mirror unable to believe

divided into three zones based on the amount of light each receives.the sunlit zonethis is the top layer，nearest the surface. it is also called the euphotic zone. here there is enough light coming into the water to support photosynthesis(光合作用)the sunlit zone goes down about 600 feet. because photosynthesis occurs here，more than 90 percent of all marine life lives in it，including most fish.the twilight zoneonly a small amount of light gets through the water to reach this zone. as the water becomes deeper，the pressure increases. plants do not grow here；only animals that have adapted to having little light can survive.the twilight zone is also known as the disphotic zone.this part of the ocean begins at about 600 feet under the water and reaches the darkest part，which begins about 3,000 feet down. some squid and fish can use their bodies to make light.the midnight zoneninety percent of the ocean is in the midnight zone. it is entirely darkthere is no light. the water pressure is extreme. the temperature is near freezing.the midnight zone is also called the aphotic zone.what can live in the midnight zone？the living things found here live close to cracks in the earths crust(地壳)these cracks give off mineralrich materials from the center of the earth itself. special kinds of bacteria live here，and all other things living in the midnight zone feed on these bacteria.8why does most marine life live in the sunlit zone?abecause this zone is under extreme water pressure.bbecause many special kinds of fish live in this zone.cbecause photosynthesis takes place in this zone.dbecause this zone contains varieties of minerals.9the twilight zone covers a depth of about _ feet.a600 b2,400 c3,000 d3,60010most creatures in the midnight zone live on_.awater bbacteria cminerals dfish11which of the following would be the best title for the text?alight zones in the oceanbliving things in the oceancthe depth of the oceandthe secret of the oceandgrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears.one explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks. we not only learn but overlearn.the multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.the law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. by cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. a little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.12. what is the main idea of paragraph 1?a. people remember well what they learned in childhood.b. children have a better memory than grown-ups.c. poem reading is a good way to learn words.d. stories for children are easy to remember.13. the author explains the law of overlearning by_.a. presenting research findingsb. setting down general rulesc. making a comparisond. using examples14. according to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.a. a result of overlearningb. a special case of crammingc. a skill to deal with math problemsd. a basic step towards advanced studies15. what is the authors opinion on cramming?a. it leads to failure in college exams.b. its helpful only in a limited way.c. its possible to result in poor memory.d. it increases students learning interest.第二节（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处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。dear seth,youre only three years old, and
