One thing I still cannot adjust to is the food and drink.Almost every American person loves sodas, especially those full of ice cubes (方块). I remember the first day I came to my host family. When I asked them for a glass of hot water, they all looked at me and thought I was crazy!At my school theres no water dispenser (饮水机) but theres one in each classroom in China. All the American students drink water from taps (水龙头) outside the restrooms that are specially designed for drinking. The water is cold and the school doesnt have hot water.The most popular food here is hamburgers and French chips, which are junk food in China. Most students who eat at school prefer those to salads. They also eat lots of pizzas and hot dogs. As a result, you can always see some really fat people in school.Luckily, my host mom is really a great cook. She always makes food from different countries and eats a balanced meal every day. So I have a lot of fruit and vegetables. At my host familys home, they usually eat biscuits.These old-fashioned biscuits are low in fat and flavored with buttermilk, butter, and a bit of honey. Oh here comes the most interesting thing: the word “biscuit” in China actually means “cracker (薄脆饼干)” here. Real biscuits are a kind of soft cake.I was also amazed by the rich kinds of food in American supermarkets and their reasonable prices. For example, one brand of yogurt has 20 kinds of flavors! Youre sure to find one that you like. And most of the food provides you “light”, “original” or “no sugar” options to choose from. 56. The underlined phrase “adjust to” is closest in meaning to _.A. deal with B. get rid ofC. get used to D. choose from57. What surprised the author about drinking water in the US?A. People drink from any tap they find.B. People prefer to drink sodas.C. People do not drink hot water.D. People drink from water dispensers.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Its easier to put on weight in the US than in other countries.B. Biscuits are exactly the same thing in the US and China.C. Salads and hot dogs are the most popular food in America.D. The author thinks many Americans do not eat healthily.59. What is the main idea of the article?A. To show how badly Americans need to change their diet.B. To tell about the American foods that she likes and dislikes.C. To show how much fun she has with her host family.D. To introduce food differences between America and China.B YOU are walking down the street. Suddenly it starts to rain and you dont have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk?Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops. So what should you do?Things are more complicated (复杂的) than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should travel slowly or quickly in rain depends on the winds direction and your body shape, according to the BBC.When there is no wind, and the rain lands directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible.But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walk at the same speed as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry.This is not all. When the wind blows in from the side, youll have to think about one more thing your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. In this case, a fatter person had better run while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind.“In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can not always, but in general,” Bocci told BBC News. “If youre really thin, its more probable that there will be an optimal speed (理想速度). Otherwise, it is better to run fast.”In fact, the question of how to hide away from the rain has puzzled scientists for many years. Back in 1987, they thought that running or walking did not really make a difference. Years later they realized that wind direction might be a factor (因素). And here, more complicated study results have been found by Bocci.Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street. But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella.60. What factor have scientists just thought of about escaping the rain?A. Your body size. B. Wind direction. C. How fast you can run. D. How heavy the rain is.61. What is the right way to stay as dry as possible according to the article?A. If there is no wind, you should walk at the usual speed.B. If the wind comes from behind, its better to run fast.C. If the wind comes from the side, thin people should move at the same speed as it.D. If the wind comes from front, it doesnt make any difference to run or not.62. If you are a thin person caught in the rain without an umbrella, _.A. running is always the best choice to stay as dry as possibleB. you should run when there is no windC. more raindrops hit you when wind blows sidewaysD. whatever the wind direction, less rain will hit you63. We can conclude from the article that Boccis finding is _.A. made by accidentB. questioned by many scientistsC. more complicated than expectedD. the result of complicated researchCCompared to people with bad attitudes, people who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. “Its possible that being upbeat helps the body fight illnesses.” says psychologist（心理学家）Sheldon Cohen, the studys lead researcher. In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues put cold-causing viruses into the noses of 334 healthy adults. People who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop cold symptoms and were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests discovered those symptoms. Those findings could explain the role positive feelings played, but it was still possible that a persons personality is what matters. Evidence suggests that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, decides our chances of catching colds. To figure out which mattered more, the team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers interviewed each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. At the end of the interviewing period, people got nose drops that contained either cold or flu viruses. Then, each person stayed in an isolated（隔离的）room for 5 or 6 days. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks. Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less cheerful. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger influence on how healthy we are. For now, it wont hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!64. The underlined word “upbeat” in the first paragraph probably means _. A. strong B. optimistic C. friendly D. independent 65. In the previous study, researchers found that _.A. cheerful people didnt get infected with cold virusesB. a persons attitude determined whether he would get sickC. medical tests couldnt find cold symptoms in cheerful peopleD. a cheerful attitude may reduce the chances of getting ill 66. During the study, 193 healthy adults were told to report _.A. the feelings they experienced every day B. any cold symptoms that appeared every dayC. their daily state of health D. their daily activities67. It can be inferred that a persons _ has a big effect on how healthy we are. A. state of mind B. personality C. diet D. living habitsD The world is not only hungry, but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earths surface is covered with water, but about 97% of this big amount is sea water, or salt water. People can only drink and use the other 3% the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, undergrounds, and other places. We cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs. Even worse, a lot of it has been polluted.At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for water is increasing quickly. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a serious worldwide water shortage later on. One of the useful steps we can take is to stop the unlimited use of water. In addition to stopping people from wasting our precious water, another useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once before it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to send the used water to companies that can clean water. There the water can be filtered (过滤) and treated wi
