Frank s trusted colleagues they remained hidden for two years and one month They were arrested in 1944 and sent to separate Nazi concentration camps Anne Frank finally died of typhus 斑疹伤寒 in the

back the diary that was saved and kept by his friend When Otto Frank read his daughter s diary he was astonished I never knew my little Anne was so deep Anne Frank s story has become an example of Jewish suffering under Adolf Hitler and a warning of the consequences of racism and persecution 迫害 There has been guess about the identity of Kitty who in Anne s revised diary is the only receiver of her letters It was once thought that the name referred to Kitty Egyedi a prewar friend of Frank s However Kitty Egyedi said in an interview that she was flattered by the assumption but doubted the

B B 4 I am not really much of a diet fan my weight has never been an issue I eat whatever I want when I want But as Pamela McDonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight but has a significant influence on health and quality of life I can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and promote good overall health Likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become somewhat monotonous 单调乏味的 after a couple of days Pamela McDonald takes a different approach there is no one size fits all 用心 爱心 专心5 diet different people need different things Although all humans are intrinsically 本质地 composed of the same material the building blocks our genes are subtlety different The author maintains that one particular part of a person s DNA something called the APO E gene has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types This gene comes in 8 varieties and depending on the variety the food requirements are different This has little to do with weight loss and has more to do with overall good health Weight gain is not a problem but rather a symptom A diet alone will not resolve the entire problem it is merely one part of the larger picture I have to admit that parts of The APO E Gene Diet were a little heavy going I appreciate that the author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data but for the lay 外行的 man it makes for some rather difficult reading The second half of the book is recipes now this is something I do understand She has created some very innovative dishes and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading them My favorite of them is a very traditional English dish the Cornish Pasty An interesting book and one that people should read you can get your copy from Amazon 1 What s the writing purpose of the passage A To help readers realize the importance of diets B To share her reviews of a book about diets C To advertise for the Amazon online bookstore D To introduce a new way of losing weight 2 What can we learn from Pamela McDonald s book A Different people need different foods to keep fit B Humans are completely made up of the same genes C Different APO E gene decides if you are healthy D Diets alone can successfully help fat people lose weight 3 What s the shortage of Pamela McDonald s book A It advises people to eat some repeated diets every day to keep slim B It supports its arguments with convincing scientific explanation C Parts of it are difficult for common readers to understand well D It is a heavy book that is too long for many readers to finish 4 What CANNOT we infer from the passage A What food we need is decided by the environment we re brought up B Gaining weight indicates there may be something wrong with your health C The writer is deeply attracted by the dishes introduced in the book D You can learn how to make the Cornish Pasty from the book 5 We can use the following words to describe Pamela McDonald s book EXCEPT A interesting B innovative C persuasive D humourous 1 5 B A C A D 用心 爱心 专心6 影评类影评类 1 Since the beginning of winter break I have been committed to doing lots of the things

two years ago in China I was standing there in the living room of a family friend s modern apartment looking out through a window down to the shacks 简陋的房屋 below just next to the building complex It was amazing how affluence and poverty could live so close together So what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate to the scenarios 情节 presented in the

crawling out of it I screamed Then I grabbed a can of insecticide and sprayed it on the cockroach He ran under the nearby bathroom door It took me three days before I found the courage to open the bathroom door to see if he was still alive He wasn t Why did I react so violently to one lone insect when a closer encounter with hundreds of ants hardly affected me The answer is easy because
