A Few Top Reasons to Get Your Child Play Golf
One such sport that usually does not come to your mind, but has several benefits in the long run for your child is golf. ____1____ But, before you take your child to the golf field, make sure you have bought your kids golf set.
Reasons why you must introduce your child to golf are as follows.
Golf is for anyone and everyone. Golf is one such sport that can be played by anyone. It does not matter if your child is short or tall, skinny or a little overweight, slow or fast. Golf is for everyone, irrespective of sizes and shapes. Also, golf can be played at any age. ____2____
Golf has less risk of injuries. Unlike sports, such as football, baseball, cricket or soccer, golf is a safe game with a minimal to almost negligible risk of injury. ____3____ Additionally, the golf course is a safe environment for children.
Golf helps create lifelong friends. ____4____ When learning to play as kids, the children bond over the lessons of golf and later the lessons of life and stick together forever, irrespective of distances. Also, golf tournaments can take your kids to different countries and thus help them learn and appreciate players culturally different from themselves, but united by the game.
____5____ Just like the ups and downs of golf, life too has its share of ups and downs. When your child learns to handle the high points and low points or rather the bogeys and birdies of the game of golf, he or she is picking up skills and lessons to help face similar situations in life.
And above all, the most important sport lesson that golf provides, is that of having fun and enjoying oneself.
A．Golf can teach a lot about life.
B．He can start if he is 5 or 6 years or onwards.
C．Golf helps develop positive attitude towards life.
D．The friendships established on the golf course usually last forever.
E．There are many practical reasons to motivate your child to play golf.

G．Golf is a game in which people hit small hard white balls into holes in the ground, involving skills and patience.

We eat in our cars, at our desks, on the go, and in front of   the TV. We eat take­out, packaged and prepared meals. Why? Because it fits our not­enough­time­in­the­day lifestyles. ____6____ Well, I’m certainly not the first one to think it or say it, but we all need to slow down.
Consumer trends around the globe show that over the past three decades people are purchasing more prepared foods at groceries and eating out more than ever before. It’s predicted that we’ll spend more at restaurants in the coming years. ____7____ However, we’re getting less healthy.
While debates can be seen in different media over the food industry’s contribution to our growing waistlines and our health problems, the bottom line is this：____8____ We can choose to eat a fast­food lunch on the go. We can throw a frozen meal in the microwave and call it dinner. We can eat without thinking, in front of the tube, at our computers, and while driving a car.
____9____ Studies have shown meaningful links between family meals and kids’ mental and physical well­being. Eating sensibly doesn’t take much time or money, but it does require you to make a conscious decision to do so. Wrapped up in endless work, appointments and social activities, we often fail to enjoy a relaxing meal with our families.
While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first, just do your best. Remember that the food you eat has a more significant effect on your health, weight and well­being   than almost any other activities you do. ____10____ Every meal made at home — even just once or twice a week — is a step closer to a healthier body and a slower eating style.

B．Treat it with the importance that it deserves, but start small.

F．We’re consuming an increasing number of calories.
G．We can devote an hour of the day to enjoying a meal with our families.

Here are some inexpensive ways to get you started.
Clear
The first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clear.___12___. There is no way to turn a cluttered (杂乱的) space into an inviting one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clear. You don’t have to throw out everything—clearing can be an ongoing process that takes time, and that’s okay.
Add Greenery
___13___. Aside from the eye-pleasing effect plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins (毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn’t enough for you, they tend to help calm people down.
Try Darker Colors
Another thing you can do to make a room look warmer is to use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create more of a cozy and inviting feeling.___14___.
Adjust the Lighting

It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids and most parents will do this as long as they live. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad. Here are some ways you can stay close, get along and build a strong relationship with your parents:
Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mom or dad. ___26___ Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, ask your mom or dad to play with you.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mom or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. ___27___ If you don’t usually do this, it may sound funny at first. Try it and you’ll be glad you did.
Be kind. ___28___ You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help clean up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be so pleased that they’ll do a silly dance around the kitchen!
Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you.” ___29___ But it’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, and being warm, polite, and thoughtful.
___30___ You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
A．Do your best at whatever you do.

A study carried out in the United States at the Field Museum in Chicago has found that 52 of the most common and well-known species of birds in that country have shrunk (缩小) in size over a 38-year period. ____31____
This shrinking in size follows a rule called Bergman’s rule which states that animals in cooler areas tend to be larger than those in warmer areas. ____32____ That is the reason why animals in cold areas are larger.
As global warming affects the planet, animals now have to deal with rising temperatures. ____33____ This came to light when scientists studied over 70,000 birds collected over a 38-year period at the Field Museum. Studies showed other animals like deer, insects and fish also have responded in a similar way.
What does this mean to these species? Of course, our planet has been through cycles (周期) of heating and cooling before, and many animals have changed to keep up with changes in their living place in order to survive. The difference in the present cycle of global warming is that it is happening faster than ever before. ____34____
When species shrink, other things get affected, too. When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before. ____35____
It is possible that scientists haven’t yet fully understood how changes in size may affect the ability of animals to survive. This shows the bigger problem with climate change-we aren’t always able to tell in advance what will happen when the Earth’s temperatures keep rising. And that is the real danger.
A．However, the shrinking will go on for at least another ten years.
B．However, animals may not be able to change fast enough.
C．Some animals prefer a cooler climate.
D．Larger animals are able to keep warmer.
E．This may affect the size of a species’ population.
F．Some of them have responded by shrinking in size.
G．Scientists who did the study credit that to climate change.

New Year’s resolutions(决心) usually are like some of those promises that are meant to be broken. The word “New” in the new year, puts a lot of pressure on starting over and turning a new leaf. But you must remember you cannot just become a different person overnight when the clock strikes 12. ____36____. Instead of making resolutions that cause you stress, anxiety or more pain, set out this year by. Making resolutions that will encourage self-care.
To start fresh this New Year’s Day, here are a few tips setting realistic new years’ resolutions in order to avoid the burden of disappointment next year.
Choose a very specific goal
Unclear plans like “lose weight” “exercise more” or “write more” are goals with no teeth.
They are unclear plans and desires, and are very easy to explain away due to how unclear they are. ____37____. Such goals with a certain task, are much more doable than unclear goals.
____38____
Once you have chosen your goals, make a very detailed plan of how you will reach that goal. Having a plan and a pathway can help you imagine your progress and won’t make you impatient for immediate results. That way you will have already imagined what progress would look like for you in say, 3 months,5 months, 7 months or every day depending on your goals.
Get yourself a social group
In today’s social media world, it is easy to find a group of like-minded individuals interested in sharing your goal. Get yourself a social group like this. However, just as there is this bright side to having a social group, the problem is the pressure. Don’t get consumed by social media and what others are doing. ____39____
Accept failure and forgive yourself.
____40____. Accept this failure; own it and forgive yourself. Being hard on yourself will only do you more harm, so instead learn from, what went wrong and instead of quitting the resolution at the end of next year, see it through until you reach your goal.
A．Make a plan to reach that goal
B．Be patient with your progress
C．Instead, set goals like “exercise 20 minutes every day“ or “lose 15 pounds”
D．Despite all your efforts, it is possible that you might fail or make a mistake.
E．Therefore, new year’s resolutions usually end up in failure
F．Change is a difficult process-the key words being “difficult“ and “process”
G．Remember you have this group only for support, not for comparison

Top tips for the Flu Season
It’s coming. ___41___ On the subway every time someone coughs, I look up to see if I can move a little further. As I exit the train, I immediately reach for hand wash to remove any of the dirt on my hands. The flu season is here, and I take it seriously.
If you are young and healthy, it’s most likely that you will just feel uncomfortable for a week or two, and miss some work or study. If you are elderly, having medical problems, or are a young child, you may not be so lucky. It’s reported that each year more than 200,000 people are staying in hospital due to the illness. ___42___
The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated(注射疫苗). You may have heard about a new study on flu vaccines, and it found that the flu vaccine didn’t work as well as we thought or would like. ___43___ In adults, the vaccine is 59 protective on average. For children the story is better. Clearly, we need better vaccines but it’s still a really good idea to get vaccinated.
___44___ You may have an arm pain or a little fever, but the injection does not contain a live virus and cannot give you the flu. If you got the flu shot last year, do you need it this year? It isn’t clear how long protection lasts and if the vaccine protects against different flus for only one year.
Finally, here is some advice about what to do if you get the flu.
1. Call your doctor early if you have the symptoms.
2.___45___ That will reduce the number of people you give this to.
3.Cover your coughs and sneezes.
4.Keep your hands clean. Use soap and water or hand wash frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing.
5.Drink plenty of water.

B．Can the flu shot give you the flu?
C．Can they recover and leave hospital at last?
D．However, it still offers considerable protection.
E．Keep in touch with your family as much as possible.
F．Depending on the year, between 3,000 and 49,000 people die.
G．Stay at home until your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours.

Choosing a musical instrument
Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument, but they are put off by one big problem: what to play? ____46____.
What kind of music do you like?
Many instruments are multi-purpose, but some are more suited to certain types of music. Although there is some classical performance for the saxophone, for example, people associate it more with jazz, and it is not a permanent feature of many orchestras. ____47____, so consider this before you start.
Do you want to play with other people?
Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what sort of instrument would be most practical? If you want to play rock music, there will always be a demand for bass players or drummers, and if you fancy being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed.
Where are you going to practise?
Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your neighbors crazy. Electric versions of instruments like the piano, drums, guitar and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. ____48____.
How much money can you spend?
____49____. A lot of instruments can be purchased in different price ranges, for example, guitars. But this doesn’t alter the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one?
____50____?
If you’re small and don’t like lifting heavy objects, you won’t want to carry around a double bass. Apart from that, use your common sense, and don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off. Who says small skinny people can’t play the tuba? It’s true that some wind instruments require a lot of lung power but with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right technique.
If you are still not sure, find an experienced music teacher,who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction. If you find an instrument you love and that suits your needs, you’ll find the time spent choosing was well worth it. Good luck with making your choice!
A．This is quite a big factor
B．Are there any physical limitations
C．Here are some tips for you to follow
D．Does it matter if you are not strong enough
E．Here are a few questions to help you decide
F．Some instruments may lend themselves better than others to the music you like
G．Alternatively, you may need to consider going to a school or a community centre to practise

Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? ____51____
FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire.____52____Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media?
Consider your own social media posts.____53____Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.
____54____You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Lean to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter?____55____And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy, all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A．If so, you are not alone.
B．Value your friends in real life.
C．Learn to appreciate the positives.
D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect?
E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life?

When you’re super tired, you may be more likely to take a nap than grab a snack. ____56____ Scientists have long been interested in mosquitoes’ sleep cycles. These insects spread diseases, so knowing when a mosquito is awake—and biting—can help limit the spread of those illnesses.
For instance, malaria is often transmitted by mosquitoes that are active at night. ____57____ But new research suggests that mosquitoes that feed during the day may also spread the disease. So, scientists are looking for other ways to use mosquitoes’ need for sleep against them.
____58____ As a result, a research team began to watch mosquitoes doze. They mainly focused on three species known to carry diseases. The first, Aedes aegypti, is active by day. The second, Culex pipiens, prefers to dine after dusk. The third—the malaria-carrying Anopheles stephensi—is up at night.
All these mosquitoes were left alone in a room in small enclosures. After about two hours, the mosquitoes appeared to nod off(打盹). They showed less response when the experimenter walked in the room. Some of the insects were then placed in clear tubes that vibrated every few minutes. ____59____ After 4 to 12 hours of this sleep deprivation, the team exposed the insects to a pad of heated fake sweat, which simulates the presence of a host on which mosquitoes can prey. The mosquitoes that got a full night’s rest were much more likely to land on the host than sleep-deprived ones.
The new finding has opened the way for research on mosquito control. ____60____
A．Mosquitoes seem to feel the same way.
B．This kept them from falling into a deep sleep.
C．The three species are known to spread various diseases.
D．One way to spot a sleeper is by tracking the insect’s behavior.
E．Many people protect themselves by slinging nets around their beds.
F．That, in turn, could help keep people safe from mosquito-spread diseases.
G．Another way is to offer a leg to mosquitoes for them to feed on for five minutes.

____67____
If you’ve never camped before, you could kick off by camping in your backyard or a nearby area. You’ll get the experience of sleeping outdoors in a tent under the stars, but it won’t require as much time or equipment. Many county and state parks allow people to camp overnight on their grounds. ____68____ If you’d like to venture farther from home, websites such as reserveamerica.com, koa.com, and campjellystone.com offer many options.
Get the devices you need.
The most important device you’ll need is merely a tent. You could purchase one from an outdoor store, but you could also borrow one. You had better practice setting up your tent at home in advance so that you won’t worry about how to put up a tent successfully. You’ll also need a sleeping bag and pillow, a flashlight, food, and cooking equipment. In addition, you should remember to pack clothing for warm days and cool nights, a rain jacket, and sturdy shoes. ____69____
Plan your food.
Making a meal plan ahead of time can help you make sure you pack everything you need. Actually, simple meals don’t require a lot of ingredients. ____70____ You could pack peanut butter, jelly, and bread to make sandwiches for lunch.

For anyone trying to lose weight, one of the first indulgences (嗜好) to get cut from their diet is alcohol. After all, a good-size glass of wine contains more than 150 calories. ____71____ New findings from researchers reveal that women who drink moderately (适量) are less likely to gain weight than those who don’t.
Researchers conducted a study of women’s drinking habits and weight gain. The researchers asked the women about their alcohol intake and measured each volunteer’s weight. ____72____ The researchers also considered some potential factors, such as age, smoking, physical activity and other lifestyle. ____73____
____74____ First, it appeared that the women who drank the most got fewer of their total calories from other sources than other women, Second, there is evidence that alcohol may cause physiological changes to appetite that may drive women to lose weight as they drink more.
This study suggests that you can probably make room for moderate alcohol consumption and not have it result in weight gain. ____75____ Previous studies have shown that drinking alcohol can lead to a greater risk of developing breast cancer. So whatever potential gains a glass of wine may have on slimming down the waist, the benefits must be balanced against the other potential risks of alcohol consumption.

The workforce is tired. So, if you feel like you’re burning out, what works when it comes to recovering from stress?
Understanding stress recovery
Recovery is the process of restoring your state back to pre-stress levels. ____76____. The skill of recovery is well known in fields that require performance under extreme pressure, where errors can be costly or even deadly. Consider a pilot on a critical mission or an athlete who works a single performance.
____77____
Research shows that when we need to recover and reset ourselves the most, we’re the least likely to do something about it. Here are ways to make recovery work for you to overcome this.
1. Use the power of micro-breaks during the workday.
Contrary to common assumptions that recovery can only happen after work or during a long holiday, research shows that micro-breaks—short breaks of approximately 10 minutes—taken during the workday are surprisingly effective. ____78____.
2. Consider your preference for recovery activities.
For most people, working over lunch is draining. Yet, if you personally choose to stay in a productive workflow during lunchtime, there can be recovery benefits. ____79____. It is also true when it’s not your most preferred lunch break activity.
3. Shape your environment for optimal recovery.
____80____. Some companies have caught on and are building direct and indirect exposure to natural elements into the workplace. Indeed, research on direct exposure to nature, such as through park walks during workday lunch breaks, shows that it can enhance your recovery from stress in as little as 10 minutes.
A．Recovery advantages
B．We refer to recovery as a skill
C．The paradox (悖论) of recovery
D．For example, it is good for your eyesight
E．One underrated, critical element of recovery is your surrounding environment

Cat behaviors can vary enormously from one cat to another. They are certainly interesting creatures with many cute and sometimes strange habits that often have us wondering.____81____
Why do cats like high places? Wild cats were hunters, and frequenting high places meant they had somewhere safe to view their territory, watch for danger, and attack prey.____82____Our domesticated cats also enjoy watching the world from above, which provides them with a safe, calm place away from the activity in a house.
____83____Both wild and domestic cats are drawn to hiding and sleeping in contained areas. At home, it is often the humble cardboard box. Cats are predators, and a box offers a perfect place to hide while waiting for prey and also to pounce from, as only one entrance exists.
Why does my cat give “gifts”? Cats are well known for leaving us gifts that we may not want, such as lizards or mice.____84____Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.____85____Be sure to offer your cat a variety of toys to help them satisfy these natural hunting instincts.
A．Why do cats sit in boxes?
B．Cats are predators and will hunt if allowed outdoors.
C．Why do cats like playing with boxes?
D．This appears to be embedded into their DNA．
E．Don’t express anger, as they will not understand.
F．A cat’s natural behavior is to withdraw and hide in stress situation.
G．Veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren provides answers to your questions about cat behaviors.

“Always wear sunscreen.” “Eat a balanced diet.” “A penny saved is a penny earned.” You probably all learned these lessons as a kid. But chances are, despite knowing these, you still stepped outside without putting on sunscreen, gulped (大口吞咽) an entire bag of chips in one go or spent more money than you had expected. ____86____
It’s a mistaken idea that knowing is half the battle. ____87____ Information doesn’t always change behavior.
Behavioral scientists have seen people struggle to save money, to cut back on their expenses, even after they’ve taken a financial class. People know what they need to do to improve their financial situation—to save more and spend less. ____88____ But it’s just easier said than done. America spends nearly 700 million dollars every year on financial education programs, yet researchers have found that these programs explained only 0.1% of the change in financial behavior.
____89____ If you are struggling, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you. It’s most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up. Look around you. The signals to spend money have got smarter and faster. ____90____ You can reshape your environment and how you interact with it.
A．So why is that?
B．How to deal with that?
C．Behavior change is not educational pursuit but an environmental one.
D．They think that financial education is a way that can make money for them.
E．They believe that financial security is just a problem that be taught to solve.
F．In most situations, just knowing something is not nearly enough for you to put it into practice.
G．Targeted ads are becoming more personalized and everything around you is focusing on spending.

Diet is an important concern in human society nowadays because obesity, heart disease and others can be found in every second home. Protein is a very crucial component of your healthy diet. ____91____ Let us dive into a guide to implementing protein in our bodies!
Grains will help you dive into the river of protein. Grain consumption is typically restricted on a high-protein diet. ___92___ Whole grains are best. You’ll receive a lot of fiber as well as a variety of other nutrients. Make sure the whole-grain items you buy aren’t loaded with sugar or fat before you buy them.
Beef is a great choice. ____93____ If you select a leaner cut, you will consume the same amount of protein while consuming a far smaller amount of fat which is bad. A lean cut of beef such as a top round steak contains just a somewhat higher amount of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast of the same size.
____94____ Low-carb diets frequently exclude(不包括) fruit but still allow for certain vegetables. So to keep the carb count low, you can temporarily remove fruit from your diet. After you’ve reached your weight loss target, you should switch to a diet that contains fruit for optimal long-term health.
Adding more protein to your diet may help you burn more calories. To put it another way, consuming protein raises your metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate by 20-35 percent, while digesting carbohydrates or fat raises your metabolic rate by 5-15 percent. ____95____
A．A low-carb diet is a necessity.
B．Prioritize vegetables along with fruit.
C．It’s wise to start adding protein to your diet now!
D．So be certain the grains you consume are up to the task.
E．To meet your body’s requirements, you must consume it daily.
F．A tender and flavorful steak is the symbol of a protein-packed meal.
G．Protein consumption can help people lose weight and improve overall health.

Different parents have different reactions to learning that their children might be experiencing bullying (欺凌). Some may believe that the bullying is a way to “toughen them up”. Others might become so angry that they want to face the bullies themselves or may push their children to fight back. ____96____ It’s much better to try to calm yourself down and find ways to solve the problem. Here are some suggestions that experts recommend.
Talk about bullying. One of the best ways to help your bullied child is to simply talk about bullying. Not about their bully specifically or the trouble they’re going through, but why bullying happens, how bullies typically work, and what they can do to make it stop and help others. They also need to understand that bullies are never to blame for bullying because far too many of them can feel guilty and even become depressed. ____97____
____98____ A lot of kids won’t be comfortable coming to their parents for help for a variety of reasons, so it’s important that you do everything you can to show them that talking to you about a problem is something safe. Make sure they know that you care and that you’re willing to listen no matter what, but don’t press them for information or they might retreat further into themselves.
Document everything. ____99____ School authorities will often want proof if you go to them with accusation, and the court will certainly need it if it gets to the point that you need to make it a legal matter. Just as importantly, hanging on to things like e-mails can really help if your son or daughter is being targeted by anonymous bullies, because authorities sometimes use that information to track down the bully.
Go to officials. Letting bullying go too far can lead to all kinds of potential physical and psychological damage. ____100____ Meetings like this can go one of two ways — you can focus on the problem by yourself and make actions against the bullies, or you can work with school officials to start programs that educate their students about bullying and seek to control it in the school.
A．Keep an eye out for your child.
B．Make yourself available to your child.
C．These choices are rarely the right way to handle bullying.
D．Sometimes you have to go to school officials to get it stopped.
E．You have a number of options available to you depending on your personality.
F．If there are records of your child being bullied, it is vital to hold on to the evidence.
G．In this way, you can arm your child with information they can use to solve the problem.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。因为生活节奏加快，许多人习惯于外出吃饭。事实上，外出吃饭对我们的健康不利，为此作者呼吁人们，重视饮食习惯，多在家与家人一起吃饭。
6．根据前文“We eat in our cars, at our desks, on the go, and in front of   the TV.   We eat take­out, packaged and prepared meals.   Why?   Because it fits our not­enough­time­in­the­day lifestyles.( 我们在车里吃饭，在办公桌前吃饭，在路上吃饭，在电视前吃饭。我们吃外卖、包装好的和准备好的食物。为什么?因为它符合我们每天没有足够时间的生活方式。)”可知，随着人们生活节奏的加快，人们的饮食习惯也发生了改变。所以C选择项“Our food matches our lives.(我们的食物与我们的生活(方式)相匹配。)”符合语境。故选C。
7．根据前句“It’s predicted that we’ll spend more at restaurants in the coming years.(据预测，未来几年我们将在餐馆消费更多。)”和后句“However, we’re getting less healthy.(然而，我们越来越不健康。)”可知，人们越来越多地在外面吃饭，摄入越来越多的卡路里，变得越来越不健康。所以F选择项“We’re consuming an increasing number of calories. (我们摄入的卡路里越来越多。)”符合语境。故选F。
8．根据后文“We can choose to eat a fast­food lunch on the go. We can throw a frozen meal in the microwave and call it dinner. We can eat without thinking, in front of the tube, at our computers, and while driving a car.(我们可以在忙碌中选择快餐午餐。我们可以把冷冻的食物放进微波炉里加热，然后称之为晚餐。我们可以不假思索地吃东西，在电视机前吃东西，在电脑前吃东西，在开车时吃东西。)”可知，吃什么、在哪里吃以及怎样吃都由我们自己掌控。所以E选择项“What we eat, where we eat and how we eat are all under our control. (我们吃什么，在哪里吃，怎么吃都在我们的控制之下。)”符合语境。故选E。
9．根据后句“Studies have shown meaningful links between family meals and kids’ mental and physical well­being.(研究表明，家庭膳食与孩子的身心健康之间存在着重要联系。)”可知，与家人一块吃饭有很大的好处。所以G项“We can devote an hour of the day to enjoying a meal with our families. (我们可以每天花一个小时和家人一起享受一顿饭。)”符合语境。故选G。
10．根据前文“While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first, just do your best. Remember that the food you eat has a more significant effect on your health, weight and well­being   than almost any other activities you do.(虽然总是把健康饮食放在第一位可能是一个挑战，但尽你最大的努力就是了。记住，你吃的食物对你的健康、体重和幸福的影响比你做的任何其他活动都要大。)”可知，饮食对人们的健康很重要。再根据后文“Every meal made at home — even just once or twice a week — is a step closer to a healthier body and a slower eating style.(每顿在家做的饭——即使一周只有一两次——都是向健康的身体和慢节奏的饮食方式迈进了一步。)”可知，作者建议人们尽量在家吃饭。把健康饮食放在第一位可从小事做起。所以B选择项“Treat it with the importance that it deserves, but start small. (重视它，但要从小处开始。)”。故选B。

(很明显，我们需要更好的疫苗，但是这仍是获得免疫的一个好办法)”说明上下文的意思发生了明显的转折，D项“然而它仍旧提供了相当的保护”起到了转折的作用，符合题意。故选D。

45．下文“That will reduce the number of people you give this to. (那将减少你传播的人数)”可知，想减少传播就需要远离人群，所以G项“待在家至少等你退烧24小时以上”中的“待在家”就是减少传播的方式之一。故选G。

46．根据本文标题“Choosing a musical instrument(选择乐器)”以及前文“Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument, but they are put off by one big problem: what to play?(许多人都想学习如何演奏一种乐器，但他们被一个大问题耽搁了：演奏什么乐器?)”可知，本文主题是介绍如何选择乐器，空处位于首段段尾，需起到引出下文的作用，所以E项“Here are a few questions to help you decide(这里有几个问题可以帮助你做出决定)”符合文意。故选E项。
47．根据本段小标题“What kind of music do you like?(你喜欢什么类型的音乐?)”可知，本段主要介绍了需要根据你喜欢的音乐类型来选择乐器，再根据后文“so consider this before you start(所以在开始之前要考虑这一点)”可知，空处句子应与本句构成因果关系，所以F项“Some instruments may lend themselves better than others to the music you like(有些乐器可能比其他乐器更适合你喜欢的音乐)”与段落主题相符，且与下文构成因果关系。故选F项。
48．根据本段小标题“Where are you going to practise?(你打算在哪里练习?)”可知，本段主要讲述了选择乐器需要考虑你能在那些地方练习，所以G项“Alternatively, you may need to consider going to a school or a community centre to practise(或者，你可能需要考虑去学校或社区中心练习)”符合文意，其中practise为同词复现。“a school or a community centre”呼应段落主旨。故选G项。

If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one?(很多乐器可以在不同的价格范围内购买，例如吉他。但这并不能改变一个事实，许多东西，比如钢琴，总是相当昂贵。如果你买不起自己选择的乐器，你能借别人的或者租一个吗?)”可知，本段主要讲述了选择乐器需要考虑价格因素，且是一个大问题，所以A项“This is quite a big factor(这是一个很大的因素)”符合语境。故选A项。
50．分析设空可知，空处是本段的小标题，根据空后问号，所以应该是个问句，应用疑问句语序，再根据本段内容“If you’re small and don’t like lifting heavy objects, you won’t want to carry around a double bass. Apart from that, use your common sense, and don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off. Who says small skinny people can’t play the tuba? It’s true that some wind instruments require a lot of lung power but with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right technique.(如果你个子小，不喜欢提重物，你就不会想带着低音提琴到处走。除此之外，运用你的常识，不要让你身体上的缺点阻碍你。谁说瘦小的人不能吹大号?的确，一些管乐器需要很大的肺活量，但通过正确的指导，每个人都可以发展出正确的技术)”可知，本段主要介绍了选择乐器时，应该考虑身体原因，所以B项“Are there any physical limitations(有什么身体限制吗)”符合文意。故选B项。

It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).(FOMO指的是别人的生活比我们自己的生活更优越的看法。它表现为一种强烈的嫉妒感，持续暴露在这种情绪下会削弱我们的自尊。)”可知，空处为承上启下句，即强烈的嫉妒感是很多人都有的感觉，引出下文对FOMO的介绍。所以选择项A“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样，你并不孤单。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
52．根据前句“While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. (嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性，而社交媒体似乎在火上浇油。)”和后文“Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体，以其固有的吸引力，让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面，而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实，但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知，空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用，以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect? (为什么它有这样的刺激作用？)”符合上下文语境。故选D。

These insects spread diseases, so knowing when a mosquito is awake—and biting—can help limit the spread of those illnesses. (科学家们一直对蚊子的睡眠周期很感兴趣。这些昆虫会传播疾病，所以知道蚊子什么时候醒着——什么时候叮人——有助于限制这些疾病的传播。)”可知，设空处承上启下，即蚊子也有累了休息的时候。所以选项A“Mosquitoes seem to feel the same way.(蚊子似乎也有同样的感觉。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。

60．根据上文“The new finding has opened the way for research on mosquito control. (这项新发现为蚊子控制的研究开辟了道路。)”可知，设空处承接上文，控制蚊子即能控制蚊子传播疾病。所以选项F“That, in turn, could help keep people safe from mosquito-spread diseases. (反过来，这可以帮助人们远离蚊子传播的疾病。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于猫的一些奇怪行为的解答。
81．上文“Cat behaviors can vary enormously from one cat to another.   They are certainly interesting creatures with many cute and sometimes strange habits that often have us wondering.”（猫的行为因猫而异。它们当然是有趣的生物，有许多可爱的，有时是奇怪的习惯，经常让我们感到好奇。）引出话题，说明猫的行为让人好奇。以及下文“Why do cats like high places?”（为什么猫喜欢高处？）和“Why does my cat give “gifts”?”（为什么我的猫会送“礼物”？）两个问题。故可推断空格处内容为将会为你解答有关猫行为的问题。结合选项G项“兽医卡特里娜·沃伦博士将为您解答有关猫行为的问题。”符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选G项。
82．上文“Why do cats like high places? Wild cats were hunters, and frequenting high places meant they had somewhere safe to view their territory, watch for danger, and attack prey.”（为什么猫喜欢高处？野猫是猎人，经常出现在高处意味着它们有一个安全的地方来观察自己的领土，观察危险，攻击猎物。）说明猫喜欢从高处看东西。下文“Our domesticated cats also enjoy watching the world from above, which provides them with a safe, calm place away from the activity in a house.”（我们家养的猫也喜欢从上面看世界，这为它们提供了一个远离室内活动的安全、平静的地方。）再次举例证明猫的这一性格特点。故可推断空格处内容为这或许是猫的一种天生具有的特性。结合选项D项“这似乎是嵌入到它们的DNA中。”符合此推断，为上下文的承上启下，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
83．由文章结构可知，该空为小标题，为总结该段内容，也是其中之一的问题。该段下文“Both wild and domestic cats are drawn to hiding and sleeping in contained areas. At home, it is often the humble cardboard box. Cats are predators, and a box offers a perfect place to hide while waiting for prey and also to pounce from, as only one entrance exists.”（野猫和家猫都喜欢躲在封闭的地方睡觉。在家里，它通常是简陋的纸板箱。猫是掠食者，盒子是等待猎物和猛扑的绝佳藏身之处，因为只有一个入口。）可知，讲的是猫喜欢待的地方。结合选项A项“猫为什么坐在盒子里？”意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选A项。
84．根据下文“Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.”（向你炫耀它们的猎物意味着你是它们家庭的一员，它们想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。）可知，讲的是关于捕猎方面的话题，结合选项B项“猫是食肉动物，如果被允许到户外，它们就会捕猎。”也是讲的关于捕猎方面的事情，下文是对该空格处内容的补充解释，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
85．根据上文“Cats are well known for leaving us gifts that we may not want, such as lizards or mice.”（众所周知，猫会给我们留下我们可能不想要的礼物，比如蜥蜴或老鼠。）和“Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.”（向你炫耀它们的猎物意味着你是它们家庭的一员，它们想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。）讲的是猫给我们带来不喜欢的东西，但这只是猫想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。以及下文“Be sure to offer your cat a variety of toys to help them satisfy these natural hunting instincts.”（一定要给你的猫提供各种各样的玩具，帮助它们满足这些自然的狩猎本能。）讲的是尽量满足猫的狩猎本能，可知猫没错，故可推断空格处内容为不要对猫表达出我们的不满。结合选项E项“不要表达愤怒，因为它们不会理解。”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

【导语】本文是说明文。本文就生活中人们的消费行为进行讨论说明，研究发现有省钱意识和做好这件事之间的差距很大，促进行为改变的关键在于改变周围的消费环境。
86．根据上文““Always wear sunscreen.” “Eat a balanced diet.” “A penny saved is a penny earned.” You probably all learned these lessons as a kid. But chances are, despite knowing these, you still stepped outside without putting on sunscreen, gulped (大口吞咽) an entire bag of chips in one go or spent more money than you had expected. (“总是涂防晒霜。”“均衡饮食。”“省一分钱就是赚一分钱。”你们可能都在小时候学到了这些。但很有可能，尽管知道了这些，你仍然没有涂防晒霜，一口气吞下了一整袋薯片，或者花了比你预想的更多的钱。)”提到了生活中的案例：很多时候人们知道该怎么做一件事，但是没有付诸实践；下文“It’s a mistaken idea that knowing is half the battle. (认为知道是成功的一半是错误的想法。)”是对上段的现象作解释说明：大家都误以为了解就是成功的一半。可知，设空处应承上启下，总说这样的原因是什么。A项“那么为什么会这样呢?”引出下文的解释，和上下文意思连贯，符合语境。故选A。
87．根据上文“It’s a mistaken idea that knowing is half the battle. (认为知道是成功的一半是错误的想法。)”和下文“Information doesn’t always change behavior. (信息并不总是改变行为。)”由此可知，设空处应起到承上启下的作用，讲述仅仅知道某种事实并不能引起人们的行动。F项“在大多数情况下，只知道应做某件事是远远不足以让你将行为付诸实践的。”和上下文意思连贯，符合语境。故选F。
88．根据上文“Behavioral scientists have seen people struggle to save money, to cut back on their expenses, even after they’ve taken a financial class. People know what they need to do to improve their financial situation—to save more and spend less. (行为科学家们发现，即使在上了金融课之后，人们仍在努力存钱，削减开支。人们知道他们需要做什么来改善自己的财务状况，以增加储蓄，减少支出。)”可知，这里提到人们总是在想方设法改善自己的财务状况，包括上财务管理的课程，但是效果甚微。说明人们仅仅通过上财务管理课程的来改善自己的财务状况的办法是不对的。E项“他们认为财务安全问题只是一个可以通过上课学习就能解决的问题罢了。”和上文意思一致，符合语境。故选E。
89．根据下文“If you are struggling, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you. It’s most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up. Look around you. The signals to spend money have got smarter and faster. (如果你在挣扎，那不是因为你有什么问题。这很可能是因为您的环境设置有问题。看看你周围。花钱的信号变得越来越巧妙、越来越迅速。)”可知，在如何省钱的问题上苦苦挣扎并不是你的问题，而是你身处的环境的问题，你应该重塑环境并改变应对环境的方式。由此可推知本段的主题为：改变行为的关键在于改变环境而不在于教育追求。C项“行为改变不是教育追求，而是环境追求。”和下文意思一致，符合语境。故选C。
90．根据上文“If you are struggling, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you. It’s most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up. Look around you. The signals to spend money have got smarter and faster. (如果你在挣扎，那不是因为你有什么问题。这很可能是因为您的环境设置有问题。看看你周围。花钱的信号变得越来越巧妙、越来越迅速。)可知，在你身处的环境中，让你花钱的信号变得更加巧妙且迅速，设空处对上文作进一步说明，G项“精准定位的广告变得更个性化，你周围的一切都指向了消费。”和上文意思一致，符合语境。故选G。
