My parents are in their late 70s, and while they are quite healthy for their ages, I worry about what messages they are going to give me.I got such an email in September from my father. He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father, my uncle Reese, had passed away. The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life, because Reese was the first of my parents siblings(兄弟姐妹) to die, and I was simply not ready for that.The memorial service was set in Florida, and I quickly decided I needed to go. I needed to be there for my father, and I needed to go for myself. Reese is about nine years older than my father, and I started to do the math in my head. I know that doesnt make sense, but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousins shoes.Reeses memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends. The funeral was attended by an even smaller number, and then, the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese possessions when he died.As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport, I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want, not only in their memorial services, but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest. These are going to be difficult conversations, but I know I need to have them. Maybe not right now, but we do need to open the discussion at some point. It may feel too early ,but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions, we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.21. Why do emails with “FYI” make the author uneasy?A. Shes too busy to read those emails.B. She dislikes her parents nonstop talking.C. They often bring unpleasant news.D. Shes afraid to get bad news about her parents.22.How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?A. Disappointed. B. Shocked C. Confused. D. Annoyed.23. What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs?A. A get-together was held at home.B. Reeses friends didnt appear.C. Not many people attended the funeral.D. The author hesitated to go to Florida.24. What does the author decide to do after the funeral?A. Express her love for her parents bravely.B. Have a talk with her parents about death.C. Value her parents wishes.D. Get everything ready for her parents. BTodays modern life discourages people from taking time to prepare their own meals. Eating in the car and grabbing a quick bite in a restaurant are ever more popular ways of dining. It takes a little extra effort and time to cook your own food, but its a worthwhile pursuit（追求）that can benefit your health, wallet and family.People across the country are waking up to the fact that the food offered by most fast food restaurants isnt particularly healthy. While these restaurants have made attempts lately to add healthier meals to their menus, its still a far cry from a dish cooked with fresh ingredients and personal care.Nutritionists who study what is called “the French paradox”- meaning the fact that French people have low obesity rates despite their diet containing lots of“unhealthy” ingredients such as eggs and butter-partially account for this circumstance by the fact that many French people use fresh ingredients. Taking time to eat at a leisurely pace also helps you get better nutrition and you are less likely to pack on the pounds.Even a quick meal will usually cost at least five dollars per person at a restaurant. Compare this to the amount of pasta , vegetables or meat available for the same amount at your grocer, and it quickly becomes apparent that the cost of eating out adds up.Experimenting with new ingredients or foreign recipes will encourage children to try new foods and learn about dishes from around the world. Many couples also find that preparing a meal together can be a romantic experience equal to dinner in a classy, low-lit restaurant. Make sure to spend mealtimes talking and sharing events from the day and you may find its a great way to get to know your family better.25. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Fast food does great harm to people.B. More people prefer dining out today.C. Therere different reasons for dining out.D. Many people still approve of cooking at home.26. The underlined phrase “ a far cry from” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”.A. different from B. absent from C. equal to D. superior to27. Why is “the French paradox” referred to in the passage.A. To show the French diet is fairy delicious.B. To illustrate the French have a healthy diet.C. To stress the importance of using fresh food ingredients.D. To prove the French diet makes people fat easily.28. What advantage of cooking at home does the last paragraph talk about?A. Strengthen family bonds.B. Save your money up.C. Expose you to foreign culture.D. Get children educated better.CCardiovascular disease(心血管疾病) is the main cause of early death in China and many developing countries. Studies show that it kills more than 17 million people around the world every year. In the next 15 years that number is expected to rise to 23 million. These deaths are, for the most part, preventable.At a recent agreement signing ceremony in Washington D.C., Douglas Boyle made a speech. He said the partnership can help people live longer and healthier lives.The agreement between the American Heart Association and China has three main parts. It calls for increasing opportunities for researchers, health care providers and public health specialists in the U.S. to meet with those in China. The agreement also seeks the sharing of cardiovascular research. And, finally, it calls for training in China of life-saving techniques such as CPR.CPR can restart a stopped heart. It has helped lower death rates from heart disease in the United States by 30 percent. Improvements in medical science and educational campaigns about preventing heart disease also played a part.The question is, will a by-stander in China give CPR to a complete stranger having a heart attack?Several media reports have suggested people in China may be resistant to helping strangers in medical emergencies. This could be because the person helping can be held legally responsible for damage to the injured person.Some relevant reports once went viral on the web. In a very short time millions of people read and made comments on them. These incidents may be few, but they draw attention to a lacking area of Chinas legal system. China does not have a national Good Samaritan law. Good Samaritan laws protect people who aid others in medical need.29. What do you know about cardiovascular disease from the text?A. It is incurable. B. It is deadly. C. It is caused by overweight. D. It is universal in the U.S.30. We can infer that American public health specialists will_.A. have more chances to communicate with those in China B. do more experiments in the lab C. give training to the doctors around the world D. share their personal experiences with the world31. People in China might hesitate to carry out CPR to a stranger probably because_.A. they havent grasp this technique B. CPR is difficult to carry out C. they are afraid to get into trouble D.
