Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on “Good Morning America” today to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of foodquantities_that_ordinary_people_would_constitute_pigging_out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 1,200 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaican sprinter and 100meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolts thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day, Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Glassman said.Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, wholegrain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strengthtraining regimen (养生法) that involves flipping tractor tires, and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.21Whats the best title of this passage?AGood Diet Makes a True OlympianBOlympians Have Olympicsize AppetitesCOlympians Strange Eating HabitsDThe Diet of Some Top Olympic Athletes22What does the underlined sentence probably mean?AOrdinary people eat few pigs compared with Olympians.BOlympians eat a lot more food than ordinary people.COlympians tend to eat a lot of highquality food.DOlympians eat a large amount of food, just like pork.23Which of the following is not the best food to help the body recover?ASoda.BOlive oil.CWholegrain spaghetti.DA salad with lemon juice.答案与解析：21解析：主旨大意题。第一段就点明了主题，选D。答案：D22解析：句意理解题。前面说奥运选手吃很多食物。画线部分在破折号之后，是对前面话语的补充。答案：B23解析：细节理解题。由最后一段可知，选A项。答案：ABExperts believe that there are about 40,000 different types of jobs in the world. Choosing the right one is a difficult job in itself. “Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job that they are not suited to. “Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”. So here are a few steps to help you think about jobs, which you might enjoy doing after school or university.First, it is important to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from everyone else.To examine your skills and abilities even further, ask yourself this question: in the following three areasskills with people, skills with information or skills with things which are your best skills?You may have noticed something while you are doing this task. The point is that there is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like and enjoy looking at pictures, it is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse and not a big dog，that is a skill. The best job is one that uses your skills in something that you are interested in. In addition to this, it is an advantage if you believe that a particular job is worth doing in the world.After that, the next step is research. To find out as much as possible about different kinds of work，go to the library, and read books, magazines and newspapers. Ask your friends about the work they do. If you are interested in banking，it is better to talk to a bank clerk who is twentyfour，rather than a bank manager who is sixtyfour. Do not rely on your parents friends for information. A younger person will be able to describe a normal day at work and tell you about the interesting or boring things when you first start working.Finally，trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.24The difference between“finding a job” and “choosing a job” lies in _. Afinding a job is a decision while choosing a job is a chance Bfinding a job is more important than choosing a job Ca job that you find is one that is more suitable for you than one that you choose Da job that you choose is based on your decision and suits you while one that you find often isnt25What is the first step to find a job that suits you well? AThe first step is to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from everyone else. BThe first step is to find out as much as possible about different kinds of work. CThe first step is to ask your friends about the work they do. DThe first step is to consider your parents advice.26All the things are ways of research about different kinds of work except _. Ago to a library and refer to books Bturn to your friends for help Cturn to your parents friends for advice Dtalk to a younger person for information27If you are interested in banking, you should talk to a bank clerk who is twentyfour instead of a bank manager who is sixtyfour because _. Athey will be able to describe a special day at work Bthey are fulltime workers and can tell you about the interesting or boring things at work Cit is easier to find a bank clerk than to find a bank manager Dthey are easier to get along with答案与解析：24解析：词义理解题。根据第一、二段的叙述以及find与choose这两个词的表面意思可知，“选择”工作是个人做出的决定，对个人适合。答案：D25解析：细节理解题。文章的第三段明确告知。答案：A26解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Do not rely on your parents friends for information.可知C项正确。答案：C27解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知选B。答案：BCEat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives：Show them the future. If your 13yearold girl were to save $1,000, invest(投资) it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time shes 65, she would have $980,983!Be careful of credit(信用). Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot，” says Cathy Pareto, an expert in money planning.Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, coauthor of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really dont want to buy it. “You might say, Id rather save that money for your education，” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or dont spend money, you have a chance to share your values.28The writer gives some basics to help _ in a proper way.Aparents teach their children how to deal with moneyBchildren follow their parents instructionsCchildren manage their moneyDparents save their money29The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should _.Agive him some regular pocket moneyBencourage him to put money away for itCexplain to him the importance of investmentDtell him to save some money by using a credit card30The underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 6 means _.Ahonor BpraiseCexcitement Dencouragement31What leads the writer to write this article?AParents want to know how to educate their children.BHe wants to share his good ideas about money matters.CHe thinks money management the most important for children.DParents care little about their childrens management of money.答案与解析：28解析：通过文章第一段中“We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.”及第二段“Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives”可得出正确答案为A。答案：A29解析：阅读文章第五段可推断答案为B。答案：B30解析：通过“For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot.”可看出是利用鼓励的方式，所以选D。答案：D31解析：通过文章第一段可看出，家长关心孩子的卫生习惯和文明礼貌，却没有教他们怎样理财，作者针对这一问题，给出了几点建议，可得出答案为D。答案：DDStore Scent(香味)What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed(展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell
