6．I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people．Actually，most people experience nervousness at some time or another．
If you are feeling anxious，my advice is to first find the cause or causes．Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about．Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control．
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable（可控制的） and uncontrollable causes，so things they can's control become a big reason for nervousness．Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind．
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness．You might be worried about the weather on a big day，an accident or an attack on the train，or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work．The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things．Accept that you can't control everything．Once you understand this，it becomes easier not to worry．
If a situation，such as swimming，is causing you to be anxious，try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it．
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous-then close your eyes and imagine it going well．Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it．This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen．
56．Who wrote this passage？D
A．A reporter．B．A sportsman．C．A patient．D．A professor．
57．The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness becauseC．
A．most are not very important
B．they are not the real causes of the problem
C．they cannot be controlled by people
D．it's better to deal with one cause at a time
58．If swimming makes you nervous，what should you do according to the writer？A
A．Go swimming often to get used to it．
B．Avoid going to the swimming pool．
C．Find a swimming teacher．
D．Imagine watching others swim．
59．What is true about nervousness according to the passage？D
A．It usually has only one cause．
B．It is usually caused by people．
C．People can easily manage it．
D．Most people suffer from it．
60．What is the main purpose of this passage？B
A．To introduce the writer's sports experience．
B．To advise on how to deal with nervousness．

 The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it's worth looking after the environment!This is what they've been doing：
   Growing vegetables
   Fairfield School pupils started their own vegetable garden．Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds （ 種子），then I hey pick the vegetables，which are used in school meals．Now they can all enjoy healthy food at lunchtime．"School dinners are tastier than ever before!"says one pupil．
  Recycling
  The Fairfield pupils don't just bring their books to school-they bring their rubbish too!There are recycling bins （回收箱 ）in the playground for cans，plastic bottles，batteries and paper．The teachers give a prize every month to the pupil who's tried the hardest to recycle．
  Planting trees
"This used to be one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas，says the head teacher Lynne Johnson．"Now every child has planted their own tree，which he or she looks after during the week．They've made the view from the classroom more beautiful!
  Finding cleaner ways to get around
  Everyone walks or cycles to Fairfield School!"When the roads are busy，it's faster to ride bikes than to go by car anyway，"says one pupil．Even the teachers don't use their cars．"We won't encourage our pupils to look after the environment if we don't do it ourselves!"says one teacher．

20．Almost every day，we discuss the topic of health，especially for kids．But what is health？"Health"means eating well，getting enough exercise，and having a healthy weight．Let's read the following rules．They can help you stay healthy．
1．Eat a variety  of food，especially fruit and vegetables．We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy，but many of us only eat our favorite food．Remember that we can only get the nutrition（營養(yǎng)）we need by eating different kinds of food，especially fruit and vegetables．
2．Drink water ahd milk most often．Everyone knows that water is important．Besides that，kids need plenty of calcium（鈣） to grow strong bones，and milk is rich in it．Every day，you should drink at least three cups of milk，when you are 9years old or older．You should also try to have less sugary drinks，like soda and coca．They include a lot of sugar．Sugar only includes calories （熱量），not important nutrition．
3．Listen to your body．When you are eating，notice how your body feels．When your stomach feels comfortably full，stop easing．Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable．If you do it too often，it can make you unhealthy and fat．
4．Limit screen time．What's screen time？It's the amount of time you spend watching TV，movies and playing computer games．The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities，the less time you spend playing sports，like basketball，and doing other activities like riding and swimming．Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time．

56．In this passage，"health"includes all of the following EXCEPTD．

7．The bicycle is one of the simplest and most useful inventions in the world．What is the most surprising is that it was not invented earlier，although the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things．Those things were not produced until long after he died．
A person riding a bicycle uses very little energy to make the bicycle move，and there is no pollution at all when you are riding．In Chengdu，a lot of people rode bicycles to work twenty years ago．But cars instead of them now．Even so in developed countries，most people do not travel to work by bicycle．It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel tired if they ride to work．It is because the number of cars on the roads is becoming larger．It certainly becomes more dangerous to ride a bicycle．As a result，more people put their bicycles away and go to work in their cars．And in this way，the traffic is very crowded when people go to work by car in the morning and go home after work，the situation is becoming worse and worse．
Perhaps the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths only for bicycles，and to make it so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bicycles．There has been a special way for bicycles on the road in Chengdu now．I think more and more people will return to ride bicycles to go to work．The air of cities will be much fresher．The sky will be a lot bluer．The people will live much happier lives．

54．Who invented the bicycle？C
A．GergyBush．
B．Mark．
C．Leonardo da Vinci．
D．Harry Borty．

A．Because the bicycle is too expensive．
B．Because it's very tiring to ride a bicycle．
C．Because the people dislike bicycles．
D．Because it's very dangerous to ride a bicycle．
57．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？B
①The bicycles were not produced until long before he died．
②A lot of people in Chengdu rode bicycles to work 20 years ago．
③It's not polluted for people to ride bicycles．

4．The Earth has warmed by about half a degree（0.5°C） over the last 100years．It could be getting warmer on its own，but many scientists think that people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect（溫室效應(yīng)）．The greenhouse effect is important．Without it，the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on．But just a little warmer than it is now could cause（引起）problems for humans，plants and animals．
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth's temperature by sending greenhouse gases（廢氣）into the air．We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV，turn on lights，dry hair，play video games，wash or dry our clothes or drive cars．The rubbish （waste） from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases．
Even a small change in temperature can affect （影響）our weather．This can cause changes in the sea levels，the air，flooding，and our fresh water．
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants，endangering many animals．
Global warming（全球變暖）is a big problem，and every little bit we do can help．We can save electricity．We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars．We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees，oil and metals．We can buy products that don't do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy．Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world．

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案．
66．Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air？B

9．More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise．It is fun，healthy and good for the environment．Maybe that's why there are 1.4billion bicycles and only 400million cars on roads worldwide today．Bikes can take you almost anywhere，and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood．You may discover something new all around you．Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car．You can bike to work and benefit （受益） from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment．You don't even have to ride all the way．
Folding （折疊） bikes work well for people who ride the train．Just fold the bike and take it with you．You can do the same on an airplane．A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase．You can also take a common bike with you when you fly．But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites．Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers．
Health Benefits of Bicycling：
●It helps to prevent heart diseases．
●Bicycling helps to control your weight．
A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year．
●Bicycling can improve your mood （心情）．
