I didnt really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.If you saw her, you wouldnt think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didnt notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what. Sandra isnt the tallest or the fastest - in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed- but that didnt stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyones heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero- and my hero, too.46. What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?A. Strong B. Honest C. Pretty. D. Common47.

The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese), grains (like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat in the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.61. What is the USDA in the passage?A. A group of doctors in the US. B. An office of the US government.C. A report on diseases in the US. D. An order given by the US President.62. What does the underlined word “grains” mean in Chinese?A. 谷物 B. 脂肪 C. 蛋白质 D. 维生素63. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. Japanese are always healthier than Americans B. living in the US is not good for peoples health C. if you eat too much fat you will have cancerD. the way we eat may cause some health problems64. Which of the following is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. More and more people have good eating habits nowB. Parents eating habits are important to their children.C. Good eating habits develop only when you are young.D. The more fruit and vegetables we eat, the longer we will live.65. The greatest help the passage gives us is _.A. to introduce a food guide to the world B. to provide us with knowledge of six food groups CMost people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.66. The best title of the passage is _. A. Money Makes You HappyB. The Secrets of Happiness C. Ideas for Helping Other People D. Good Friends Make You Happy67. The second paragraph tells us that _. A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be B. we shouldnt think about our future C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. D. some people fail to live a happy life68.
