When it got hit last year by the worst flooding in its history, there was this feeling of helplessness. Youjustwatched this water slowly rise and flood the city. It was heartbreaking. But this is a community of people that are extremely strong and not afraid to roll uptheirsleeves and work to get it back to normal.Ive tried to bring as much awareness to Minot as I can, and raise as much money as I can. We held a concert last year,where my wife singer Fergie talked her band the Black Eyed Peas into coming in and doing a benefit concert. From it we raised $2 million towards the rebuilding effort, which was really cool. We won a contest for Oak Park as well, to start rebuilding on that.Roosevelt Park Zoo is one of my oldest memories. Irememberhaving a birthday party there as a kid. We used to go to look at the monkeys and other animals inthesummer when it was open. But after last years flood, it was almost washed away, and theyve got go start from scratch. I think the $25,000 dollars is a great start, but were going to have to raise alot more to get it back to right. Luckily,thecommunity itself is developing, so its just a matter of those doing whatever they can to helpthe community to get it back to normal. However, its going to be a number of years for a third of the homes were lost. That will take a long time to heal, and if anyone in the world can get through it, its the people in Minot.25.

Which of the following did the author show to us in the text?A. The ways of helping each other inthefloodB. His deep love to his hometownC. The difficulty of rebuilding homes in his hometownD. His worry about the future life of the people in MinotCMore than one-third of adults in the United States are obese(肥胖). In fact, over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized, sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools.Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight, and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight.Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise. Not carrying out the first one enough, and not getting enough of the second one, ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight.Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible, but its also, partially, an oversimplification. Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat. Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet. If you dont want to eliminate red meat altogether, choose cuts of meat with less fat content. Limit your intake of salt and starches. If youve got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch, choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips. You might find youre really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste.A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, egg whites, fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight. Drink more water and less sugary drinks. If you have to have a soda, a diet soda is a better option, but seltzer is an even better choice than that.Its importantif not always easyto make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day. If your feet wont allow for a regular jogging regimen, then make sure you take lots of walks. Next time you need to mail a letter, walk to the mailbox instead of driving. Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood.28.You should when you want to lose weight.A. diet as well as exercise enoughB. try not to fit the clinic definition of obesityC. get little exercise every dayD. focus your attention on diet only29The First Lady has started a movement to .A. raise peoples awareness of healthy dietB. control the public school dietary supplyingC. ban the sugary soft drinksD. realize the importance of dieting30What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A.We must keep far away from fat and ignore our taste.B.The simplest and best way to lose weight is to eat and exercise more.C.We should remove the red meat in our diet completely to reduce weight.D.When it comes to diet, no one needs to starve themselves in order to lose weight.31The last paragraph is mainly about .A. walkB. DietC. exerciseD. JogDThe Top 4 Lies Girls Hear1.Youll never be good at math.Its generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls arent.The fact is that it isnt trueatleast,it doesnt have to be.When girls reach their teens,most of them lose their interest in math.Theyre trying to be regarded as female（女性）.They want to stay away from things that are boythings,and math is still considered a boy thing. Math class is hard,but if you gave it a chance youcould be great at math,especially because you are a girl.2.Being skinny is good,and how you diet is your business.Lots of web sites tellvisitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing.These skinny is bettersites are lying.Losing interest in eating is a disease,not a fashion statement.It can kill you.3.“You dont deserve（应得，值得）to make as much money as a guy.”Its said that in 2002 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn.Once yousee real women succeeding in cool jobs,youll truly get that youre worth just as much asor morethan any guys.4.Caffeine（咖啡因）will help you study better.Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must-haves when you have to work very hard.But if you want to do your body a big favor,youd better give up caffeine altogether.32.Why do girls lose their interest in math?A.Because they dont realize the importance of math.B.Because math class is too hard for girls.C.Because they arent interested in the things which are considered boy things.D.Because girls are not as clever as boys.33.The word skinny means.A.pretty B.strong C.tall D.thin34.Supposing in 2002 a man earns $20,000,how much will a woman doing the same job probably get?A.$10,000 B.$15,000 C.$20,000 D.$25,00035.Which of the statement is NOT true?A.Being skinny is good for girls health.B.

The first is God-given. 36 In this article we explore some different ways to become smarter.Go to college, and get an education. 37 It means that you will have been exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you will have learned how to think.

It does not seen like much, but adding 52 new word to your vocabulary will make you appear much smarter. Subscribing to vocabulary. com is a good start. 39 This way you are actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.40 Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this. They hear an outrageous(骇人的) claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your quest for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.A. That is my exact point.B. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking.C. You will have a new word sent to your e-mail address daily.D. The programs actually provide you with information you can see.E.
