Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? Its a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were serious. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung.”My mother may have said more, but I didnt hear. I didnt hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy I am so sorry”“Its okay, sweetheart. Ill be okay. ”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before. ”He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal.

Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔) each day.Low-calorie Diets Do Not WorkThe reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust itself by burning fewer calories each day.Low-fat Diets Do Not WorkMany people in todays society are buying mostly low-fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.20. What is the main reason why people are overweight?A. They burn many calories every day. B. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.C. They eat food with lots of calories. D. They dont take weight loss pills.21. The article is written in order to_.A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food. B. tell readers about an important scientific discovery. C. tell readers how to lose weight. D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy.22. To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should_.a. do exercise every day b. eat meals at the right time c. eat fruits and vegetablesd. eat low-fat or sweet food e. eat the proper foods at each mealA. a, b, c, e B. a, b, d, e C. a, c, d, e D.a, b, c, dCOctober 15th is the Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donators will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Childrens Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ. They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗)or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.23. Whats the best title for this passage?A. Hand washing: so important-it gets a day of its own.B. Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.C. Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.D. Want to live a longer life?-wash your hands.24. The word “rinse” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. to dry your hands B. to rub your hands carefully C. to wash away the soap D. to clean your fingers25. The last paragraph mainly tells us _.A. how to wash your hands correctly B. the dangers of washing hands without soapC. why washing hand with soap is so important D. when we should especially wash our hands with soap26. In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A. Health report B. Public service C. Medical care D. advertisementDLet us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Lets make believe (假装；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They havent yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed bypests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.27. When was the passage written?A. In about A.D. 2060. B. In about 1960. C. In about 2020. D. In about 2000.28.

You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesnt control your life-you do. Im not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower.361. Do less.Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. 37 Pick 2-3 important things- or even just one important thing- and work on those first.
