If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers are fond of food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People call this kind of food “junk food”.

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.

Parents today also worry about thei r children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:

Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.

Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.

Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar.

Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins（维生素）and have little fat.

Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. It is good for their body and mind.

34. How many pieces of advice are given by the doctors in the passage?

A. Five B. Eight C. Six D. Seven

35. Which of the following is RIGHT?

A. Today all teenagers are overweight. B. Scientists found two thirds of the students didn’t have a healthy diet.

C. Parents are worried about their children’s diet today.

D. Milk, fruits and vegetables are not good for children. 36. It’s right to ___________ according to the passage.

A. eat junk food B. eat food with too much salt

C. drink milk and eat junk food often D. eat vegetables that are rich in vitamins

37. The main purpose of the passage is to tell the children____________.

A. how to keep a healthy diet B. to eat fruits and vegetables

C. how to have a proper meal for lunch D. not to eat junk food

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.

As your eyes move along the line of point, they make fixations (固定) or pauses (暂停). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group. The numbers of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span (视跨). Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.

The way in which you read always depends on (取决于) what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:

(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.

(2) Rapid (快速) first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.

(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (细致的) study of your school subjects, solving math problems or reading directions.

(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid

reading when reviewing materials that you already know well. 38. The main reason for reading fast is that you can ________.

A. get the ideas B. save time C. understand better D. learn well

39. The way of reading always depends on ________.

A. the method that you like B. your reading material

C. your reading purpose D. both B and C

40. The word “skimming” means “________”.

A. reading the main points B. reading carefully

C. reading very fast D. reading some parts of the material

41. Careful reading is an important kind of reading ________.

A. when you review a lesson that you already know well

B. when you read the directions before using a camera which is expensive

C. when you read a story of enjoyment

D. when you wish to find a lost place that you have read

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.

A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.

One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.

Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.

Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.

42. The author thinks music__________.

A. can make children calm down B. can connect heart to heart

C. is difficult for pre-school students D. is a good means to find a job

43. According to the second paragraph Vanessa_________.

A. got used to singing songs B. was too shy to speak

C. was the youngest in the class D. enjoyed the author’s class

44. When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt________.

A. surprised B. happy C. frightened D. satisfied

45. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.

B. Vanessa became as healthy as other children.

C. The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.

D. Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream.

五、任务型阅读（共l0空；每空l 分，计l0分）

阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

Nobody likes making mistakes. But, no one is perfect. If you can learn from mistakes correctly, they can move you forward. Therefore, we should analyses how you can learn from them.

If you have made mistakes that harm other people, it is important to offer a sincere apology (道歉)in person. A good apology will likely make the other person forgive you. If you refuse to apologize, the person hurt by you will hold it against you.

If you go through life afraid to make a mistake, you will spend most of you life doing nothing. There is no harm in making mistakes; it is an essential part of going forward. The more duties you take, the more likely you will make mistakes.

Unluckily, it is our natural instinct（本能） to justify （为……辩解） our actions. When you make a mistake, you will first blame someone else. When mistakes are made, the boss is unlikely to be interested in justifications. Sometimes it is best to say, very simply--yes, I made a mistake.

Mistakes happen for various reasons. To avoid （避免）repeating them, you need to understand the main reason. For example, you may have made a mistake by saying some unkind words. If you make mistakes because you are tired, try to get more sleep; if you are

stressed, look at ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work.

You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes, but at the same time, you should make a decision to learn from them. If you repeat the same mistakes, it shows you aren’t making progress and they cause repeating suffering. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits.

In 1927, a writer did a large study of people and wrote a guide to blood groups. He said that people group O are calm, patient and in control of their emotions (情绪).
