of all things the simplest housework leaky taps oil changes even barbeques 烧烤 Those had always been my husband s jobs I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldn t get the lawnmower 割草机 started My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me How could I be both a father and mother to my girls Clearly I lacked the tools and skills On this particular morning my girls pushed me into the living room to see something I prayed it wasn t another repair job The something turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughters bright faces Go ahead Open them they urged As I unwrapped the packages I discovered a small barbecue grill 烧烤架 and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it But why I asked Happy Father s Day they shouted together Moms don t get presents on Father s Day I protested You forgot to open the card Jane

powerful medicines to help improve our quality of life is not an exaggeration The World Health Organization expressed the same view in its 2002 World Health Report emphasizing that the damage produced by lack of physical activity was equal to the strong probability of serious illness such as heart disease and even some kinds of cancer Those who have embraced an active lifestyle for years are familiar with the sort of physical and psychological benefits that come from exercise Nevertheless a lot of people would never think of physical activity as a way of feeling better simply because they don t think they are in need of it or because they are lazy or maintain that they haven t got enough time There are many positive effects that result from physical exercise and they are not only concerned with the physical aspects but also psychological and social ones Beginning with the physical benefits physical activity improves the life of the heart burns off fat lowers high blood pressure makes tissues more resistant and increases muscle flexibility and joint mobility On a psychological level physical activity helps reduce anxiety and stress by causing tension to disappear and by encouraging us to have a better sense of ourselves through listening to our bodies during movement Lastly seeing ourselves in better health is advantageous socially The sense of satisfaction thus obtained will result in an increase of self respect and self confidence in terms of our ability to interact with others The benefits linked to exercise have also not gone unnoticed in the business world with more and more companies setting up gyms on site Employees improved health translates into better performance and reduced costs as well as an increase in people s satisfaction in the work place Physical activity is recommended for all age groups including children It is an important growth factor in a child s education And for the elderly There is no doubt that regular physical activity allows greater efficiency in daily life as well as creating more basic independence day by day including the possibility of keeping in touch with others and not feeling isolated 37 The writer

regular physical exercise can make old people A better able to look after themselves B look younger than they really are C less likely to suffer from diseases D more aggressive in their interaction with others Passage Three When foreigners are sometimes asked what seems most strange about American society somewhere on the top of the list will be the fact that the average citizen is allowed to possess guns Although it is true that many people carry guns legally in the United States it is also known that many who possess guns carry them illegally Others who don t have guns feel that guns can be acquired quite easily A recent survey indicated that many high school students especially in the inner cities can acquire a gun with little difficulty Although most people would never want to own a gun others have taken up hunting as a sport and enjoy hunting wild game in season Hunting for deer and duck in fall and winter is very much a part of the American culture Also some farmers in rural areas who raise cattle and sheep feel they need to protect their animals against wolves that attack their herds and flocks at night To defend and support their rights to possess firearms the National Rifle Association NRA was founded in 1871 The main importance of this organization has been its efforts to prevent strict gun control legislation The NRA has great political support in small towns and rural areas especially in the West and the South where hunting is especially popular Those who favor the right to possess guns insist that the Constitution provides 英语试卷一 A 第 10 页 共 16 页 智力服务于中国 提高企业与个人整体竞争力 the right of people to keep and bear arms They believe that gun control laws will not solve the problem of crime and violence in America Recent events in America however have shown that the question of gun possession is now out of control and strong voices have called for immediate action to be taken In seemingly peaceful schools students have guns into classrooms and opened fire upon their classmates America has been shocked by such incidents which seem to occur with greater frequency The periodic deaths of innocent citizens and even foreign visitors from guns have forced legislators to pass laws to stop these senseless killings The day may not be far off when America will be transformed from a gun culture to one which controls their use and possession 43 What is most unusual about American society A Ordinary people can possess guns legally B Many Americans acquire guns illegally C The average citizen does not try to possess guns D Many school children carry guns
