It started as a practice only done by ascetics(僧人). So it was not some

17、thing that the average people did.Yoga is not only a physical practice but also a mental practice, designed to reduce the focus on the external(外部), said Whitney Sanford, professor of religious studies. Most people pay much attention to daily existence and as a result, they lead busy lives, while Yo

Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables

23、 and rice and little meat.“They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake(卡路里摄入量)has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat，”says Chwang.Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, cultur

24、enamely Asians hospitality(好客)is a reason for the fatness of todays generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food，”she says，“Eating and drinking are important social and family function.”In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with

25、 money. Todays climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10coure meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents improved circumstances. “In the past, people had four or more childrennow, they have one or two, so th

They feel bad when their children look thin.When describing the condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says，“There is a clear relationship between fa

27、tness and indoor play. Children get fat because they dont move, and eventually, they dont want to move because they are fat.”Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to do old outdoor sports.“What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing

28、video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke，”says Chwang.文章大意：作者在文章中与读者探讨了一个话题：在亚洲，大部分人都趋向于身体苗条，但肥胖的儿童却屡见不鲜。40Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AAsian people tend to save more money.BAsian children depart from their diet tradition.CAsian children eat big meals on more tr

32、o see the blackboard clearly. As the fuzziness(模糊)got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework assignments the teacher put on the board.However, she didnt want anyone to know that she was having a problem of seeing. At last, her mother noticed h

33、er squinting as she watched favorite shows, and called the eye doctor to set up an appointment for her.Three days later, Carmen had new glasses and instructions from her doctor to wear them all the time. Carmen frowned in the car the whole way home.“You look just as beautiful with those glasses on a

She avoided her friends and stood alone, feeling miserable. Suddenly, Theresa, her friend, cried out，“My silver ring is gone! Its very special a

35、nd I cant lose it！”Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out and put them on. She looked down at the ground and a glimmer of silver caught her eye. It was the ring.“Here it is，”she shouted. She handed it to Theresa.“Thanks Carmen，”she said，“I neve

40、ave to squintDwarn people not to wear valuable jewellery to schoolDLast summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peo

41、ples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44yearold single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I to

42、ld her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she c

43、ould only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label. She would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries selfconfidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even ab

44、le to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how selfconfident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories

45、. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was writen all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewar

46、ding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.文章大意：文章讲了自己作为扫盲志愿者的一段经历并从中领悟到帮助别人就能够给自己带来快乐的道理。 48What did the author do last summer?AShe worked in the sup

50、Science cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread allaround good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an anima

Subjects completed the tas

52、ks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.
