unaware of what may affect it. from the day i was born, my mother was always there for me. she wiped away my tears when i was hurt, comforted me when i was afraid, and always stood behind me no matter what. the monday before the accident, i had stayed an extra day before returning to work in florida. i wanted to take my mother out to lunch for her birthday to show her how much i love her. after the celebratory lunch, we talked and laughed. i worked in florida for three more days, but soon grew frustrated and tired of being away from home. when my brother needed to return home and register for college, i decided to go with him. i imagined surprising my mother by walking in the door just as she was telling my aunt how much she missed me. as part of her birthday, though, some of my family had decided to ride their motorcycles to nashville for the weekend to have fun. as i was on the way to a friends house, i received a phone call - my mom had been involved in a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler. her new husband, jeff, broke some ribs and lost his left leg, but my mom was suffering from internal cerebral bleeding; her chances were very slim. somehow both survived, growing more determined each day. rehabilitation was a slow and stressful process. each was hospitalized for more than a month, jeff a little longer because of his punctured lung. when mom returned home, she was feeble and unable to care for herself. she began feeling very lonely and each night would wake me with screams or talking to people who werent there. i would sit and talk to her until she fell back to sleep. that summer before senior year was supposed to be the best of my life. id planned on spending time sleeping in and having fun with friends. instead, i had to handle most of the responsibilities and heartaches of our household. each day, instead of being carefree, i was taking care of my mother and doing all that was needed. i went from being a selfish child to a selfless adult. i began to see how difficult and frustrating being a parent is, giving up everything to care for someone who needs you. with all that has happened over the past year, i have realized what is important in life and gained a greater appreciation for the selfless acts a mother does for her children, which help them grow into strong men and women.41. the basic reason why the writer gave up the job in florida

elements to a good diet, carefully limiting calorie intake is the most important part of controlling ones weight.sixty percent of u.s. adults are overweight and more than thirty percent are obese. but americans arent the only ones struggling with their waistlines. the world health organization reports that obesity has become a global issue, with more than one billion adults overweight.dr. dariush mozaffarian studies the relationship between diet and chronic diseases at the harvard school of public health. we need a change, a model change, in our focus on and attention to diet, mozaffarian said.but people trying to change their eating habits and reduce their weight must sort through a confusing variety of diets. some recommend cutting out carbohydrates. others suggest cutting out the fat, eating more protein, and eating less protein. the messages can be confusing.dr. george bray, at the pennington biomedical research center in the southern state of louisiana, wanted to find out if protein affects weight gain. this study was designed to examine the effects of differing levels of protein on total calorie intake, bray said.twenty-five healthy adults participated in the study. daniel kuhn was one of them. he and the others were overfed by almost a thousand calories a day.i was eating a lot of real butter, real whipped cream and things of that nature that i dont normally favor, kuhn said.all of the participants followed low, normal or high protein diets. the result: all of them gained weight.“fat storage was exactly the same with all three levels of protein. that is, it was the calories that they ate that affected the body fat that they stored,” bray said.but those who ate a higher percentage of protein gained more lean body mass while those on a low protein diet experienced just the opposite.“if your protein intake is low, youll actually lose body mass even though youre eating an excess amount of calories,” bray said.dr. bray tells his patients to get on the scale regularly so they can catch added weight early. dr. mozaffarian says keeping weight in check is not just about eating less.we dont need to go down a list of avoid this, avoid that, and becoming the food police. its mostly foods with more fabrics （纤维） that should be increased. its fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, vegetable oils and nuts, bray said.dr. mozaffarian says increasing these six foods by about a serving each day would reduce obesity - and help slow the epidemic of chronic diseases associated with it.dr. brays study on protein, calories and weight gain was published in the journal of the american medical association. 46. which of the following statements is a fact?a. about two thirds of americans have overweight problems.b. if you take less protein, youll necessarily remain slim.c. the innocence of health diet contributed to our overweight.d. those taking in more protein than calories wont be obese.47. according to what bray said, we can come to the conclusion except that_.a. he thinks if one takes in low protein, he can eat a large amount of caloriesb. fat storage is the chief reason resulting in overweight and some chronic diseases.c. we should often weigh to be aware if we have been gaining weight recently.d. we neednt avoid eating the amount of calories if increasing more fabrics48. the underlined world “carbohydrates” in the fourth paragraph is

debate on the cause of weight problem changzhou, july 27 (xinhua) - after nbc found amazing success with the voice in the united states last year, the show managed to sail into the chinese mainland market despite the countrys tight control on reality shows. according to csm media researchs estimate, the voice of china - the original dutch music shows chinese adaptation - topped nationwide ratings rankings when it was shown on zhejiang satellite tv last friday night, attracting 2.77 percent of the countrys television audience. even re-runs of the show grabbed ratings higher than the debut ( 处子秀) of any other music show this year, the company said. introduced in china on july 13, the weekly the voice of china is almost identical to the u.s. version - through a blind audition, four celebrity judges/coaches choose teams of singers who will compete for a recording contract. the fun part is that the coaches have to compete with each other and sometimes beg strong singers to join their teams. singers who shot to stardom include huang he, a 20-year-old countryside girl who amused the four coaches with a powerful performance of adeles rolling in the deep. while the nbc show secured christina aguilera, cee lo green, blake shelton and adam levin as its four celebrity coaches, zhejiang tv managed to invite chinese celebrities such as famous musician liu huan - who sang the beijing olympics theme song you and me with sarah brightman - and pop diva na ying as coaches, as well as mainland singer yang kun and harlem yu, a singer-songwriter from taiwan. the impressive debut of the voice of china was not expected by chinese music critics, especially at a time when the market is flooded with similar foreign-format reality shows, including american idol to youve got talent. to compete for audience attention, some shows have gone to the brink of vulgarity（粗俗） and strangeness, putting a state restriction on overly entertaining reality shows from the state broadcasting watchdog late last year. the voice upholds the principle of selecting really good voices. we dont do celebrity flirting, low taste or vulgar content, said xia chenan, chief executive of zhejiang tv.i like the sense of honesty and respect for music shown by voice contestants. they are different from those in other reality shows, netizen elsa wrote in a microblog post. after its debut, the voice of china trended for a week on the popular sina weibo microblogging space. some fans have voiced the hope that the voice of china could encourage a renaissance in chinas show industry. the producer of zhejiang tvs the voice of china tian ming admitted that the countrys tv production sector lags so far behind its western duplicate copies that it is too early for china to come up with a successful homegrown show format. tian said each adaptation of a popular western tv show gives chinese producers an opportunity to learn and improve. we can avoid taking the wrong paths. if by learning, we can catch up with the west in 10 to 20 years, i think it is worthwhile, said lu wei, publicity executive of zhejiang tvs the voice of china. 51. why is “the voice of china was a huge success?a. it was an original program by zhe jiang tv. b. four famous musicians acted as judges for it.c. it is kind of different than other chinas showsd. it was introduced from foreign reality shows52. adele is the name of_.a. a well-known foreign popular singerb. a latest album recorded in chinac. a guest judge of the voice of chinad. a foreign girl competing in the show 53. as to “the voice of china” though not
