It is a pretty island that has many mountains and a pleasant climate. The people of Bali were happy and gay and had a peaceful life. They were not allowed to

29、fight. At one time there had been terrible wars in Bali. Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars. They made rules to keep apart those who wanted to fight. Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kin

30、gdoms did not share the same borders, the people could not fight over them. In Bali, even children were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone would separate them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other. Sometimes they did not talk togeth

Bali Island, an Attractive Place. k+s-5#u DMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a

36、number of reasons for this. Some people blame(埋怨) the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these resta

37、urants, children would probably buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried

38、 chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not wal

39、k to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）,it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reaso

40、ns for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 48. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A. Those who often take exercise. B. Those who often watch t

41、elevision. C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school. 49. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because . A. their parents often cook meals for themB. they are too busy to go out and play C. they cant choose what to eat D. there are too many fast food

42、 shops around50. The word “steering” underlined in the last sentence most probably means . A. forcingB. guidingC. drivingD. moving51. The main purpose of the text is to . A. tell a story B. provide factsC. give adviceD. compare opinionsEIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to

43、 know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told

44、 this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw

45、 that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired(雇佣) a servant(佣人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for t

46、heir new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with the rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up wit

47、h the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of k

48、eeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead. 52. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they . A. want to be as rich as t
