Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” hed told his wife. “Ill look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”Things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids”Mike, Randy, and Alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alexs head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍). Mike chanted “Wheres my toast, wheres my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randys underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten oclock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.25.When his wife left home. Brad expected to .A. go out for a walk in the park.B. watch TV talk show with his children.C. enjoy his first day off work.D. read the newspaper to his children.26. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.D. Because he had to take his wife back.27. This text is developed .A. by space B. by comparison C. by process D. by timeCWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.28. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.29. This text is mainly the relationship between _.A. Americans and the French B. life style and obesityC. children and adults D. fast food and overweight30. Where does this text probably come from?A. A TV interview B.A food advertisementC. A health report D.A book review第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 31 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know. Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each difficulty, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 32. Happy people understand that you cant really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence(存在). 33 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. 34 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most. 35They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life.B. What are the things that these people do differently?C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love.D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.E. They are ready to embrace(拥抱) whatever difficulties in front of them.F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”.G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they dont try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.三 完形填空。(每小题1.5分,共30分)Mr. Cronin has a clock shop in the center of the town.
