that can be learned early in life. little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. in fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. however, i believe that five is the best age to learn. by five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. its wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous. to really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic strokes; butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl. i feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training. in swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: 1). never swim alone! no matter how good you are in the water, dont risk drowning by swimming alone. if you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble. 2). dont go beyond your abilities. most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach, showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive. 3). dont smoke. swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it. 4). work at any activity that builds muscles. 49. little children can learn to swim as soon as _. a. they can talk b. they start walking c. they have no fear of the water d. they are five or six years old 50. the author believes that fear of water is_. a. stupid b. sensible c. dangerous d. not smart51. the stroke that some young swimmers use first is_. a. butterfly b. backstroke c. breaststroke d. crawl 52. according to the passage, you should not swim alone because_. a. the water is too cold b. your parents would not be happy c. something in the water might attack d. you might drown bwe have been providing performing arts information for over 14 years. here you can search for plays, musicals, concerts and operas across the uk.53. the main purpose of the text is to inform readers of_.a. film posters b. performance information c. the theatres advice d. picture exhibitions54. which performance will be on show for the shortest period of time?a. bob the builderspuds big mess b. the lion kingc. mother courage and her children d. duke bluebeards castle55. what can we learn from the text?a. the first three shows are inspiring. b. the shows are intended for children.c. all of them have won many awards. d. the characters in the shows are brave.cmost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. this kind of loneliness is not serious. in fact, it is quite normal. for some people, though, loneliness can last for years. now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.the first kind of loneliness is temporary(暂时的). this is the most common type. it usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. the second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result or a particular situation- for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.the third kind of loneliness is the most severe. unlike the second type, chronic(长期的) loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. people who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. unfortunately, many chronically lone people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.psychologists (心理学家)agree that one important fact in loneliness is a persons social contacts（接触）, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. for instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. however, psychologists have found that, though lone people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. they question their own popularity.psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. while temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.56.how would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?a. talk to friends b. just ignore it c. go to see a doctor d. ask your teachers for guidance57. the topic of the 4th paragraph is that _.a. lonely people dont have many friendsb. lonely people dont have many social problems c. one problem of loneliness is a persons social contactsd. we depend on various people for different reasons58.why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?a. chronic loneliness can cause family problems b. chronic loneliness can cause serious illnessc. chronic loneliness cannot be overcome d.a, b, and c are all correct59.what is the best title of the passage?a. three kinds of loneliness b. loneliness and diseasesc. loneliness and social contacts d. chronic lonelinessd if you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. this is the research finding of a team of japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.professor taiju matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern japan appeared to be losing their ability to think at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.with a team of researchers at tokyo national university, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.the researchers measured the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. as we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract（萎缩）with age.contraction of front and side parts, as cells（细胞）die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction-using the head.the findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. those with least possibility, says matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. white-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.60the team of doctors wanted to find out .ahow to make people live longer bthe size of certain peoples brainscwhich group of people are the busiestdwhy certain people grow mentally old sooner than others61their research findings are

succeed can never start too early. these routines will help students in school and for the rest of their lives and give them the tools to live life to the fullest! 65 we need structure and routine in our lives. our bodies perform best when we operate on a regular schedule. eat and sleep about the same time each day. this routine stays with a person their whole life and helps them to develop good work habits. we need physical activity to stay healthy. find exercise routines that are fun and match our individual tastes, which will increase both the quantity and the quality of our life.be
