Running is becoming popular these days. Many of us run for our health. Doctors say many of the health problems come from these bad habits: eating too much, drinking too much, smoking, and not taking enough exercise. Doctors tell us, “eat and drink less, don’t smoke, and exercise more.”

Running is a good form of exercise because it helps build a strong heart. It also helps most people lose weight. One 68-year-old woman run three times a week. She runs to lose weight.

Running is good for health in other ways, too. Many runners say running keeps colds and other small health problems away. “Running is my doctor.” says one man.

Running can also help people to relax. So today men and women of all ages enjoy running.

British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry, so newspapermen write as few words as possible. They tell their readers at once what happened, where, when and how it happened and what was the result : how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on.

Readers want the fact set out as fully and accurately(准确地) as possible. Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information from someone who was there, which can be given in the person’s own words. Because he can use only a few words, the newspaperman must choose those words carefully, every one must be effective(有效). Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes “he shouted”; instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain”, he will write “they thundered down the mountainside”. Because many of the readers aren’t very clever, and most of them are in a hurry, he won’t care about (在意) his writing.

35. From the text, we learn that newspapermen write as few words as possible, because readers ____________.

A. want to know more about the news

B. take no interest in what has happened

C. have no time to read the news carefully

D. pay much attention to the result

36. In what way do you think British newspapers have become smaller?

A. In a page size.          B. In number of readers.

C. In number of pages.     D. In number of copies

37. Which of the following is true?

A. Readers are not satisfied (满意的) with the short news.

B. Not many people have time to read the long articles (文章) in newspapers.

C. Readers find the language of the newspapers exciting.

D. Newspapermen try to report as fully as possible.

C

I began to study English when I was in college.

At that time there were not many materials that you could get, and I didn’t have much money either. I was not very hard working, but quite enough to try to find the best way to put the English language into my head. I’ve tried to take courses in different English Learning Centres, online courses, and so on.

If you have enough money, find a good Learning Centre. Register at it and know how they teach and how we are supposed to study. In my opinion, the not-so-good Learning Centres will simply make you get bored and sometimes give you poor suggestions to study.

If you don’t have enough money, don’t worry. Learning English is a matter of self-study more than class study, if you have good strategies and resources.

Strategies can be found in many English books, CDs, DVDs, Internet etc. Self-study can make you pass TOFEL and GRE. Then once you have the opportunity to study abroad, you will have plenty of chances to improve your English with native teachers.

In any case, with or without taking classes, good strategies and good resources are important. However, your own effort is the key to success.

38. Why didn’t the writer study English until he was in college?

A. He didn’t want to study English then.      B. There wasn’t English then.

C. He wasn’t allowed to study English.       D. We don’t know.

39. How to study English if you have enough money?

A. Learn it by yourself.

B. Find a good Learning Centre.

C. Buy a lot of books about how to learn English well.

D. Have a tutor to help you.

40. According to the writer’s opinion, if you study English in a not-so-good Learning Centres, ____________.

A. you will learn English well

B. you may become good friends with the teachers there

C. you may lose interest in learning English

D. you can get good suggestions to study

41. If you want to learn English by yourself, you should ____________.

A. ask advice from your teachers and classmates

B. get good strategies and resources

C. get opportunity to study abroad

D. learn from the top students

D

The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, Greece, in the year 1896. Athletes(运动员) from only 13 countries participated in the Games that year. They competed (比赛) in 43 different events in just 9 sports (track and field, swimming, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, shooting, tennis, weight lifting, and wrestling). In 2004 the summer Olympic Games took place once again in Athens, Greece. This time, athletes from 202 countries competed in 300 events in 28 sports.

Only five sports have been in every Olympic Games. They are track and field, swimming, fencing, cycling, and gymnastics. Other sports come and go in the Olympic Games. For example, tennis was an Olympic sport from 1896 until 1924. Then it disappeared (消失) from the Olympics until 1988. Baseball, badminton, and taekwondo are more recent additions (增加) to the Olympic Games.

It is the job of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to add and remove sports from the Olympic Games. A sport has to be popular in at least 50 countries on three continents before it can be added. However, the IOC doesn’t want to add more sports to the Olympic Games without eliminating others. The IOC is afraid that there will be too many sports in the Olympics.

Artistic events were also a part of the Olympic Games from 1912 to 1948. There were contests in architecture, music, literature, and painting. Today some people think that artistic events and games such as chess should be part of the Olympics. However, many people oppose this idea.

The Olympic Games today are very different from the first modem Olympic Games in 1896. These differences reflect the changing definition and popularity of sports.

42. The purpose of the passage is to introduce _____________.

A. how sports come and go in Olympic Games

B. who adds and removes sports from the Olympic Games

C. which sports are popular in modern Olympic Games

D. why some sports events were a part of Olympic Games

43. The underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 3 means _____________.

A. adding         B. removing           C. taking place        D. competing

44. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. There are more athletes and sports in the Olympic Games in 2004 than in the year 1896.

B. There weren’t any tennis matches in the Olympic Games in 1980.

C. The recently added Olympic sports are popular in at least 50 countries on three continents.

D. The IOC believes that the more sports in the Olympic Games, the better.

Be pleased to do anything even though it is very tiny. In fact, there’s no single thing that is not worth doing or you are not able to do. You can never know what will happen next day, but you can live a happy life. Living a happy life with a light heart is the most important. A good mood decides your quality of life. Then how can you live a happy life?

Make each day meaningful by helping someone or just making someone smile. The feeling which makes you want to help others stay at the bottom of your heart. Happiness depends on your feelings in your heart. Helping others is helping yourself. By helping others, you’ll be given more. Seeing their satisfied smile will make you feel proud of what you have done.

Face difficulties bravely in your life. Everybody may meet with difficulties. No one can avoid them. The difficulties can teach you a lot. They are your treasure. They will help you to be closer to success.

Focus on the good experiences you have had in the past few years. Be grateful to life. Don’t think too much about the negative things. They are similar to bad weather. Bad weather will pass sooner or later, so will the negative things. You may find many dead ends in your life, but you will always find your way out of them. Everything will get better all last.

Never worry about the things you can’t change. Worrying isn’t useful. Worrying can neither change the situation nor solve the problem. Perhaps, not every dream will be realized; not every effort will he completed. Never mind, and take it easy.

Come on, everybody! One of the greatest gifts you can give to your loved ones is to let them see you living a happy life. Let’s live a happy life with a light heart and enjoy the beautiful sunshine every day.

50. What decides our quality of life?

51. How do we make each day meaningful?

52. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?

53 .Why isn’t worrying useful?

54. What does the writer want to tell us?
