We arrived at the hospital only to find Dad weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. My husband and I had to work, so our relatives would help him get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted Dad to know that we cared about him, too, even when we weren’t with him.
Then I remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone. They hid notes in the food box, or even in the fridge. For days their grandparents would smile as they discovered these notes of the children’s love.
So as I cleaned Dad’s room downstairs before he got home, I began writing notes. Some showed my love. Most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”
My notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for Dad. Just like his medicines made him better physically (身体上), these would improve his mental (精神的) health. Several weeks later, I made a phone call to Dad and asked what he was doing. He said, “I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I am just reading the note you left under my pillow upstairs!”
64. Which of the following did the author NOT do for her father?
A. Writing notes. B. Driving her father home.
C. Making phone calls. D. Helping to clean her father’s room.
65. The underlined word “these” (in Paragraph 4) refers to “______”.
A. medicines B. the relatives’ care and help
C. notes D. delicious foods
66. The author hid most notes _____.
A. in Dad’s room downstairs B. in the food box
C. in the fridge D. under Dad’s pillow upstairs
67. From the passage we can know the author’s notes couldn’t ______.
A. show her love for Dad B. make Dad remember something
C. make Dad healthier mentally D. improve Dad’s physical health

Those whose DNA strongly features the three genes are 80 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. The genes also fight against the deadly impact of smoking, poor diet, obesity and lack of exercise.
Already, several laboratories are working on a pill to imitate the benefits of the genes and Dr Barzilai thinks it could be tested within three years. The pill could remove some diseases that damage old age. “ The advantage of finding a gene that involves longevity is that we can develop a drug that will imitate exactly what this gene is doing,” he said.
Of the three longevity genes, two genes increase the production of so-called good cholesterol(胆固醇), which reduces the risk of heart disease. The third prevents diabetes. They were discovered by Dr Barzilai’s team while studying the DNA of 500 Ashkenazi Jews with an average age of 100. The chances of living that long are one in 10,000 but the group, which shared relatively few common ancestors, was 20 times more likely to hit the entury. Dr Barzilai said: “ 30 percent of them were obese or overweight and 30 percent smoked two acks of cigarettes a day for more than 40 years, however they can live to 100.”
But Andrew Ketteringham of the Alzheimer’s Society said: “Alzheimer’s disease, a most common disease, is likely to be caused by a combination of genetic disosition(遗传倾向), lifestyles and life events. Many genes are probably involved.
小题1:Some people are able to live to 100 years because of ______.
A.a magical medicine | B.three special genes | C.good living habits | D.longevity proteins |
A.Because it can bring great benefits to scientific labs. |
B.Because it can help people change their unhealthy genes |
C.Because it helps produce a drug that can make people live longer. |
D.Because it will help scientists build up a new branch of biology. |
A.longevity genes can create good cholesterol. |
B.the volunteers share some common ancestors |
C.bad habits are likely to have no effect on the volunteers |
D.longevity genes protect the volunteers against bad habits |
A.Positive | B.Negative | C.Critical | D.Cautious |
It is easy to grow your own sprouts, but you need to buy your seeds from supermarkets or health food stores. Seeds for planting in the garden are often powdered with chemicals, so when becoming sprouts they are not safe to eat.
Try growing sprouts from a variety of beans and seeds. You will find different sprouts at different stages. Bean sprouts are best when they are about three centimeters long. Wheat and sunflower sprouts taste best when the sprouts and the seeds are of the same length. If the sunflower sprout is too long it leaves a funny stinging feeling in the throat after eating. Alfalfa sprouts are best when their small leaves are well developed. Pea and soybean sprouts are good long or short.
If you leave your sprouts in filtered sunlight for a few hours, the leaves will turn green as chlorophyll (叶绿素) is added. Eating sprouts with green leaves benefits your blood, cells, and the digestive system.
小题1:Which of the following sprouts taste good whether they are long or short?
A.Soybean sprouts | B.Sunflower sprouts |
C.Alfalfa sprouts | D.Wheat sprouts |
A.increase | B.decrease | C.remain the same | D.lose |
A.Long sunflower sprouts taste better than short ones |
B.Eating too long sunflower sprouts will make you feel uncomfortable in the throat |
C.Eating sprouts with green leaves will be harmful to your health |
D.It takes a long time for the food value of the seeds to multiply |
A.Sprouts of seeds for planting in the garden may not be safe to eat. |
B.Alfalfa sprouts taste best when their small leaves are more fully grown. |
C.All sprouts taste best during the early stage of their growth. |
D.Sunlight will make the leaves of sprouts green. |
In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be 46 . Today things are 47 , the world has become too 48 . We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are 49 our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on the earth 50 survive.
Everyone 51 today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing 52 , more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, 53 will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we 54 to use bigger and more powerful machines to 55 more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. 56 , in most countries wastes are 57 put into rivers or into the sea, and there are 58 laws to stop this. We know, too, that if the 59 of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years there will not be enough 60 . What can we do to solve these problems ?
If we eat more vegetables and less 61 , there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops 62 five times more people than land where animals are kept. Our natural resources will 63 longer if we learn to recycle them. The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth 64 .
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and clearer 65 in the future.

I know lots of women who skip breakfast , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food .
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
小题1:The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.
A.things left undone | B.food remaining after a meal |
C.meals made of vegetables | D.pizza topped with fruit |
A.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. |
B.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. |
C.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. |
D.Eating vegetables helps save energy. |
A.eat something for breakfast | B.put away the leftovers instead of eating more. |
C.heat up leftovers for breakfast | D.eat calorie-controlled food |
A.who go to work early | B.who stay up late |
C.who want to lose weight | D.who eat before sleep |
The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them . “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping ,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University , the godfather of sleep research .
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified(发现) an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt . The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness : people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving . This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House . According to recent reports , President Clinton is trying to take a half---hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon .
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity . We seem to have “a mid afternoon quiet phase ,” also called “a secondary sleep gate .” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed . Clearly , we were born to nap .
We superstars of snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut--eye or to prepare for a night shift . Rather , we “snack” on sleep ,whenever , wherever and at whatever time we feel like it . I myself have napped in buses , cars , planes and on boats ; on floors and beds ;and in libraries , offices and museums .
小题1:The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans .
A.don’t like to take naps |
B.are terribly worried about their national debt |
C.think that lack of enough sleep causes many accidents |
D.have caused many industrial and traffic accidents |
- warnus of the wickedness of napping
C. discuss the side effects of napping
D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping
小题3:The “American sleep debt”(Line 1 , Para .3) is the result of .
- thetraditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
- thenew sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
- therapid development of American industry
- theAmericans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness
- preferableto have a sound sleep before a night shift
- goodpractice to eat something light before we go to bed
- essential(基本的) to makeup for lost sleep
- naturalto take a nap whenever we feel the need for it
