There are some aspects（方面）of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoidI am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution，noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them ,there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimmingWhat often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowlythat it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good，except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape，through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts，you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation（放松）It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts，meditation, and so on. Yoga，as practiced in the West，is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation.It seems ironical(讽刺的),though, that as ourselves have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity-physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other, which were the natural way of life of our forefathers56Pollution, noise and stress are examples of Acauses of unfitness Bbad features of living in towns Cthe things we can completely do away with Dunavoidable things in town57We dont get much out of separate sports because we A. dont do them very often B. dont find them interesting C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs D. dont do them actively enough58To be healthy we must Akeep fit and active B. be active and practise Yoga Ckeep fit and learn to relax Dhave a sound mind59Our forefathers were healthy because Atheir way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation Bthey were careful to get plenty of fresh air Cthey spent most of the time out of doorsDtheir environment was not pollutedBHave you got any wonderful plans for your coming summer vacation? Here are some wonderful films for you to kill time.Away We GoWith a baby on his way, a young couple, Burt and Verona, look at their lives and are puzzled about what they really want. So they hit the road and seek a place to call home. On their journey, they visit a handful of characters and learned a lot.Its about taking the scenic route in life, preparing for the hope and excitement and fear of new beginnings, while never forgetting to look out of the window.OrphanEsther, a bright and well-behaved child, however, is not as innocent as she appears. Soon after being taken home, the peace of her adoptive family is completely changed.You want a good horror film about a child from hell? Then you got one! Do not, in any cases, take children to see it.500 Days of Summer Tom is in love with Summer from the moment he sees her. Can he accept that she simply likes him for now, not for forever? The movie is about Tom wrestling with that reality. Tom remembers his love, Summer, as a series of joys and bafflements. But Summer is just herself and he cannot have her. Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why.2012 The director Roland Emmerich successfully dresses a corny story with an old Mayan prediction, which is believed by many to happen in the coming 2012 and as a result, attracts millions of people into the cinema.Its just an entertaining Hollywood blockbuster (大片)with plenty of jokes, instead of a description of what the end of the world is really like.

Pop star Madonna has marked the start of construction at the girls school she is building in Malawi. The 51-year-old cut a ribbon and planted a tree at the groundbreaking ceremony (奠基仪式) at the Raising Malawi Academy for girls. The stars four children including David,4,and Mercy,3whom Madonna adopted from the country-were also present at the event. It is thought that construction of the $15m academy will take two years. “Growing up in a privileged life, I took education for granted, but coming to Malawi has taught me a lot of things and I learnt to appreciate what life gives,” Madonna said.The singer added she wanted to give opportunities to underprivileged young girls.“I realized how much they deserve to be educated and so for me the best thing I could do was to build a school, a unique school that will create future female leaders, scientists and doctors. If this school is successful it will be used as a model to replicate it in other countries,” she said.Madonnas charity, Raising Malawi, aims to provide accommodation, food, education and other support to orphans in the country. The Raising Malawi Academy for Girls is on the outskirts of the countrys capital, Lilongwe and will admit 500 girls from the small southern African countrys 28 districts.“Research proves that young girls throughout the developing world are often left without opportunities to receive a comprehensive education and the benefits that education can provide.,” Madonna said in a statement on her website. “Our goal is to teach them to challenge themselves, serve their local communities and develop their country.”Anjimile Mtile Oponyo, a local academic who has been hired to head the academy, said: “Madonna believes that given opportunities, these girls will become scientists, lawyers and doctor. She believes in them. Having someone believe in you is important to a girl.”During her trip, Madonna is also expected to meet with President Bingu wa Mutharika and visit some of the orphanages her charity supports.64.According to the passage, _.

What does the underlined word” replicate” (in Paragraph 5) mean in the passage? A. represent B. copy C. rebuild D. realize DRising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause to climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.Weve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And weve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the seawater, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.As carbon dioxide dissolves (溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid, Dore explains. And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, makes it more acidic.The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.Its important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. Its potentially catastrophic.68. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Seawater C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater69. Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life? a. Sea life is endan
