if you can, you are unusual. try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. i am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. as you grow older, you were awake more of the time. it took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. you watched and listened curiously. you began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.then you began to try making the sounds you heard. and step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.on that day you came to understand the secret of language. the secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. one sound might be as good as another. but it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things can they understand each other. then only then do these people have a language.after you found the secret of language, you learned words. some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shoes. some words meant doing things, such as go and swim. and other words describe things, such as good and dirty. soon you learned to put words together to express ones idea, such as i want to go out and play with my friends. this is language. by means of language people can communicate. so we say languages are means of communication.36. can remember the day when_. a. one; he spoke his first word b. no one; he spoke his first word c. most people; they spoke their first words d. some people; they spoke their first words37. when you were a little baby, you_. a. made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat b. spent most of your time playing with your parents c. could not hear any sound around you d. spent most of your time eating, playing and crying38. the secret of language is that_. a. one sound might be as good as another b. people can understand each other c. a certain sound is for a certain thing d. there is a special sound for each person39. you could learn words_. a. before you knew what the language was b. after you knew what the language was c. if you knew the secret of the language d. when you were a baby40. the aim in using language is . a. to get everything one wants from others b. to say what one wants to know c. to share ideas, opinions, news, etc with one anotherd. to make oneself understood by others dthe key to reaching or staying at a healthy weight is regular exercise and good eating habits. teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. note the word activity. as long as youre getting your body moving, it doesnt have to mean doing complicated exercises or going to the gym every day. all that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including aerobic (有氧健身法的)，strength building , and flexibility (柔韧性) exercise. make exercise a habit by scheduling some every day. on days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more. but most of us are busy , and 60 minutes a day of activity seems like a lot of time. the good news is that its ok to divide it into shorter exercise breaks throughout the day. just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself getting hungry, exercise snacks can keep energy level high. so get up 15minutes early and do some yoga or other stretching (伸展) activity. fast walk or jog for 15 minutes at lunch. do the same thing after school -or walk or bike home. add to that taking the stairs, gym class, and walking between classes during the day, and youve probably reached your 60 minutes.here are 5 simple ways to make an exercise lifestyle change:1.start today . go outside for a walk.2.take the stairs instead of the elevator.3.instead of driving, walk or bike to places like school or a friends house.4.vacuum(用真空吸尘器清扫) your room ,wash the car , or mow the lawn. 5.limit your time watching tv, using the computer, or playing video games -and when you do play , try interactive games that get you moving.41. the underlined phrase exercise snacks in the third paragraph probably means - . a. food eaten before exercise b. food eaten during exercise c. shorter exercise breaks d. a new kind of exercise42. why should we have exercise snacks every day?
