In the past, health was only the absence of disease or illness. Today, though, health has a broader meaning. Health is the state of your well-being that includes how you feel physically, mentally, and socially. Wellness is another term that describes this broader view of health. You can understand the need for a broader definition（定义）if you think about how health in your life is different from health in your grandparents lives. In 1900, the main causes of death were diseases that were spread by bacteria（细菌）and viruses（病毒）. If you had lived then, the danger of your dying from pneumonia（肺炎）would have been three times greater than the danger of your dying from cancer. The diseases that were most common in 1900 affected people of all ages. It is not surprising, then that around 1900, the emphasis（重点）of health was on freedom from illness. Today many of the diseases that were common in 1900 can be prevented or cured by improved medicines and methods of sanitation（卫生）. Most diseases now are likely to occur late in life. You, as a teenager, will probably mot have to think about the same threats to your health as our grandparents did. These improvements in health conditions mean that not only can you now enjoy a better life, but you also have a greater chance of having a longer life. Controlling diseases has increased the life expectancy in the Unites States. Generally, people born more recently have higher life expectancies. Since 1900, the life expectancy in the United States has increased by more than 27 years. It has increased from 47 years for those born in 1900 to 74 years in 1981. 56. According to Paragraph 1, health and wellness _. A. can be used interchangeably on all occasions B. are different in that the latter has a broader sense C. had the same meaning in the past D. both refer to the state of your well-being 57. Which of the following statements is true? A. Diseases caused by bacteria and viruses were incurable in 1900. B. Bacteria and viruses are the main causes of death today. C. Medicines for curing pneumonia were not available in 1900. D. Pneumonia caused as many deaths in 1900 as cancer does today. 58. “Life expectancy” in the last paragraph most probably means _. A. the kind of life that a person may expect to live B. the model of life that a group of people have lived C. the length of time that a person or an animal has lived D. the length of time that people may expect to live 59. On an average, people in America who were born in 1900 _. A. had a life-span of 74 years B. lived a shorter but better life than those born later C. lived to 47 years of age D. lived 27 years longer than those born in 1981 60. The passage is written for _. A. teenagersB. the diseasedC. adultsD. aged people （B） What do Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson and Philcollins all have in common? They were all bullied（欺负）at school. If youre being bullied, it doesnt mean there is something wrong with you. You have a right to feel safe. If you are being bullied at school, it is the schools responsibility to stop it. If you are being attacked outside of school, the police have the responsibility to help you. The bully is the one with the problem. A lot of bullies are already being bullied themselves. They feel powerless and so they look for ways to feel tough at school or in the street. Often, the bully is envious of other kids, so he picks on those who are cleverer, or those kids who have cool dress or more money. Usually bullies dont like themselves, so they take out their frustrations（沮 丧）on someone else, e.g. you. What can you do? * Look calm and confident even when you are not! You can practice this in the bathroom mirror. * If possible, ignore the bully. Bullies want a reaction（反应）if you dont seem upset, or angry, theyll often leave you alone. * Walk away. Just because a bully starts an argument doesnt mean you have to hang around and finish it. * Avoid being alone. Bullies are cowards（懦夫）who only pick a fight when they know they can win. If you are with friends, they are more likely to leave you alone. Get help! Tell an adult you can trust. This doesnt mean you are weak. In life you often need to get help from other people. When you have a broken leg, you get help from a doctorit doesnt mean you are weak. If you are being bullied you also get help. Bullies want you to keep quiet. When you speak up, you refuse to play the bullys game. Telling others about the problem is a brave move. 61. In the first paragraph, the author intends to _. A. name several students who were bullied B. tell us being bullied is a common problem at school C. what the three students have in common D. warn people of the three bullies 62. Bullies are usually those who _. A. are stupidB. are poor C. are full of envyD. have more power 63. To avoid bullies, you are advised to _. A. be calm and confidentB. react bravely and show your confidence C. hang around and argue with themD. stay with friends always 64. The underlined word “ignore” probably means _. A. fightB. stopC. pay no attention toD. talk with 65. With the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, the author gives us an example of _. A. how to get help from doctorsB. people being weak sometimes C. what people do in troubleD. getting help when necessary （C） People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shops; they drive wildly up and down the streets. And at times, some of these things are true. But there are also hard moments in the life of a teenager. A teenager is neither a lovely child, nor a respectable grown up person. The members of her family consider a teenager a source of trouble. She feels that she has grown up. But she is told that she is just a child and she knows nothing. She sees her elders doing what they like. When she wants to do what she likes, the elders tell her that she should do only what she is told to do. To be a teenager means to be everybodys servant and nobodys master. Elders in the family and in the neighbourhood order a teenager to run errands from them. If he refuses to carry out the orders of his elders, he is scolded. He may even be punished. He is criticized for all that he says and does. If he behaves like a child, he is told that he is grown up and that he should not be childish. If he behaves like a grown up man, he is told that he is disrespectful. A teenager becomes a lonely creature in the family. Children enjoy all the love of the elders in the family. The teenager gets no love and no respect. So she often runs away from home and finds some joy in the company of the girls of her age. The trouble with teenagers is that they havent learnt to be controlled. There are too many rules and regulations for us to obey. It hasnt yet occurred to us to run a zigzag pattern. Although we teenagers have miserable time with our family members and elders, we have a very good time with our friends and in schools and colleges. So we teenagers spend most of our good time and have fun with our friends and classmates rather than with parents. 66. The main idea of this passage is _. A. the differences between a teenager and a grown-up B. the usual opinions of teenagers C. the difficult situation a teenager face D. how to deal with teenagers 67. The key factor of the troubles brought to teenagers is that _. A. teenagers are always troublesome B. teenagers dont understand their parents completely C. grown-ups dont understand and respect teenagers enough D. teenagers refuse to listen to grown-ups 68. Who understand teenagers best according to the passage? A. Their teachers.B. Their friends. C. Their neighbours.D. Their parents. 69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably has the same meaning as _. A. they dont get along well with their elders as they havent learned to control others. B. they lead a hard life because they are not familiar to all kinds of rules. C. their troubles lie in their control of others D. they have troubles with elders because they havent formed the habit of obeying 70. Whats the authors attitude towards teenagers? A. He criticizes them.B. He understands them. C. He misunderstands them.D. He supports them. （D） Its a Saturday night what is a group of friends to do? They could go out to a bar or pub, they could enjoy a good meal or they could go to a club. Thats what may have happened a few years ago. However, new research has shown that three times as many Britons would rather stay in and cook a meal for friends than have a wild night out. These people are being described as the Stay Home and Entertain Friends (SHEF) brigade（队，组）. Mark is an IT manager from Manchester and could be described as a SHEF. “I like to socialize with my friends, but going out every weekend can be really expensive. Weve found another choice; head to the local pub for one or two drinks, then go back to one of our homes for food, drink and some music. Much less trouble and more fun than going into the city center and struggling to get a taxi at 2 a.m!” The survey also found that twice as many men as women associated romance with home-cooked, candlelit dinners with their partners, claming that this was a perfect way for a great Saturday night. According to another study by insurance company More Than, people are also turning to their homes as a source of entertainment and a shelter from the stress of modern living. The new “staying in” culture is driving increased spending on home improvement and entertainments systems within the home. Many people in the UK have set up home cinemas with plasma screen（等离子屏幕）televisions, satellite televisions and DVD players. Maybe, soon the popularity of this trend of staying in will decline and going out will become the new staying in! 71. What would be the best title for the text? A. Trends in Britain Are Always Changin
