Most of us have heard this old saying and followed it to keep healthy. But recently, a new study tells us whether theres any truth in this old saying.A team of researchers led by Matthew Davis of the University of Michigan School of Nursing in the US, asked 8,399 people to answer questions of diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters. The other 7,646 were non-apple eaters.When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the chemists per year, the apple eaters were found to be 27 percent less likely to visit the chemist for drugs.However, when considering other factors(因素) that can influence frequency(频率)of medical visits, such as weight, race, education and health insurance (健康保险), the difference disappeared. And the researchers found daily apple eaters were just as likely as non-apple eaters to go to doctors. In other words, an apple a day might keep the chemist away.However, Davis said to USA Today, eating apples is still a healthy habit. Doctors generally agree that apples can be a good food choice. They are rich in vitamin C and also contain small amounts of vitamin A, calcium(钙) and iron.But, “One apple isnt going to be enough to make a difference unless its part of a healthy food pattern(模式)”, said Steven Zeisel, from the University of North Carolinas Nutrition Research Institute(营养研究学院), to NBC News.The old saying is thought to come from Wales in the 1800s. Apples, which have a long shelf-life（贮藏寿命）, were likely one of the few fruits that were available throughout the year, according to NBC News.31. The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” may come from .A. doctors B. scientists C. France D. Wales32. According to the new study, if you eat an apple a day, .A. you are unlikely to get illB. it makes no big difference to your healthC. you are much healthier than non-apple eatersD. you weigh less than non-apple eaters33. NBC News thinks that the old saying may come from the fact that .A. apples are rich in vitamin CB. apples contain a lot of calciumC. apples play a big part in a healthy food patternD. apples can be found throughout the year34. We can infer(推断)from the article that .A. people with a higher education are less likely to get illB. eating apples is not the healthiest habitC. non-apple eaters are healthier than othersD. an apple a day is not enough to make people much healthierBOn April 24, 1990, the world of science reached a new milestone (里程碑). The US Space Agency launched(发射)Hubble Space Telescope (哈伯太空望远镜) into space. It then began its exploration(探险) of the universe (宇宙). So how has it developed science? Lets take a closer look at Hubble to celebrate its 25th birthday!Hubble is the first large telescope to be sent to space. Its job is to orbit (绕轨道而行) Earth and take a lot of pictures of the universe. It is 13.2 meters in length and weighs 11,110 kilogram.It works differently to your school telescope, which helps you see an object larger and clearer. Hubble works by collecting light. The bigger the mirror, the more light it can collect. Its main mirror is 2.4 meters. How good is its view? Scientists says that its like seeing a pair of fireflies (萤火虫) in Tokyo from a home on the east coast of the US.Hubbles discoveries have led to some major breakthroughs(突破). It proved(证实) that the universe was actually speeding up, not slowing down. It discovered black holes (黑洞). Also, with the help of Hubble, scientists have a more exact answer of the age of the universe: 13.7 billion.So how long will Hubble work for us? People are not sure. But when Hubbles days of exploration come to an end, its discoveries will still stay with us. Its successor (继任者), the Webb Space Telescope, is being put together as we speak. With a much more powerful telescope, we can only wait to be in awe of(敬畏) its future discoveries.35. Which of the following about the Hubble Space Telescope is NOT true?A. It began to explore the universe in 1990.B. Its the first large telescope to be sent to space.C. It orbits Earth and takes pictures of the universe.D. It has stopped working because its too old.36. From Paragraph 3, we learn that .A. Hubble works similar to school telescopesB. light is important for Hubble to workC. its better to use a smaller mirror for HubbleD. Hubble can see fireflies on Earth in space37. After years of work, Hubble found out that .A. the Earth is roundB. the universe was slowing downC. there are black holes in the universeD. the universe will disappear in 13.7 billion years38. The article mainly talks about .A. NASA B. school telescopesC. the Hubble Space Telescope D. the Webb Space TelescopeA. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。46. (假定，料想)that you have a blog .

To me, it is much more than just not going to school. It is also a golden opportunity to spend time with my family, because I have little time with them during the school year. Refusing invitations to go out with friends, I chose instead to spend my last summer vacation traveling with my family to the Hawkesbury River in WesternSydney, where we have a comfortable house and a boat. Those days left a deep impression on me. It was one of the most unforgettable summer vacations of my life.Staying on the river helped us escape the hot weather and noise of the city. During the summer vacation, my family and I rose early to go for a swim in the river and then returned to a big breakfast. The mornings were spent with family members playing cards, followed by a delicious and fresh lunch. But, from time to time, we all took part in a big game. Everybody played, including my grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. We enjoyed water-skiing, wakeboarding(尾波滑水), tubing (坐在类似轮胎的小皮筏里漂流) and other water sport activities. These
