I don’t think there is anything more important than health. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.

If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

A.health is more important than wealth

B.work is as important as studies

C.medicine is more important than pleasure

D.nothing is more important than money

2.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.

A.he was feeling better than ever

B.he wasn't a healthy man

C.he was feeling worse than before

4.From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A.was a heavy smoker

B.didn't smoke so much

C.didn't smoke

D.began to learn to smoke

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?

There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play—creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.

However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”

Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by?

1.The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to ________.

A. show his worries about the effect on health

B. lead into the topic of the passage

C. ask the reader for their own opinions about games

D. doubt the advantage of playing computer games

2.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________.

A. the contents of the game are complex

B. games contain extreme violence

C. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school

D. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment

3.According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives?

A. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.

B. Li Hua leant many English words from playing games.

C. Sunyan worked well with his teammates.

D. Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.

4.In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea ________.

A. by giving some examples

B. with descriptive words

C. by providing some numbers

D. with some research results

閱讀短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項,選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Many kids and teenagers have cell phones in their hands. However, is it really necessary for them to have phones at school? Here are the pros and cons.

Pros

They can get in touch when necessary. The main benefit of having a phone is that your children can get in touch with you whenever they need to. 1. They can call the emergency services if necessary. If your children are in immediate danger, they can use their phones to call not only you but the emergency services. This is of great benefit and could potentially save your children’s lives.

2. As long as your children remember to do this , their phones won’t cause distraction(分心) in class. Giving them a standard instead of a smart-phone will also reduce the risk of distraction.

Cons

The latest smart-phones can almost double as a computer. It means they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they used to. 3. All these characteristics could disturb your children’s concentration (注意力) if they play with them in class.

Cellphones could interrupt lessons. Many children, even though they are asked to do so, forget to turn off their phones during lessons and their phones may make sounds. 4. Besides the distraction problem, cellphones can also be used to look up answers on the Internet. 5. The possibility of children having access to these during exams could be too attractive for them not to take advantage of.

A. Cellphones can be turned off or put on mute.

B. Children use ordinary phones instead of smart-phones.

C. This allows you to feel they are safe and easy to reach.

D. Without cellphones, campus life would be less colorful.

E. They have some other functions — a calculator and the ability to save notes.

F. This not only annoys other pupils, but also prevents them from learning well.

G. Nowadays, children can not only text and make calls with their phones, but also play games, surf the Internet and listen to music.

People around the world have their own ways of celebrating weddings. Now let’s compare Eastern and Western weddings.

Chinese and Indian brides normally wear red dresses and most of the wedding decorations are of the same color. This is because the color red is said to bring good fortune. In many Eastern weddings, especially Chinese weddings, the bride will change into a different dress after the ceremony. White dresses only arrived in modern times because of the influence of Western wedding dress designs.

Western wedding dresses are different. Brides usually wear a wedding dress that is white in color and wear it throughout the whole wedding. Wearing white wedding dresses is said to have started in the 1840s, beginning with Queen Victoria, Queen of Great Britain. There are occasions when brides dress into more comfortable clothing so that they will be able to move more freely during the wedding reception.

Traditional practices are strictly followed for most Western weddings. The couple follow up with any plans they have agreed and decided on to make their special wedding day unique and memorable. Wedding receptions and other celebrations differ among the East and the West, but the concept is still the same. They are held to show gratitude towards family members, friends and guests for being a part of the wedding ceremony.

Another common custom that weddings of the East and the West have is the wearing of the wedding veil(面紗). According to superstitious(迷信的) beliefs, the bride wears a veil to protect her from being seen by evil spirits and the bridesmaids are decoys(誘餌). This is still followed even today.

1.Queen Victoria is said to be the first woman in Britain to ________.

A. have a bridesmaid

B. wear a veil as a bride

C. wear a white wedding dress

D. wear a casual dress for the reception

2.According to superstitious beliefs, having bridesmaids is to ________.

A. protect guestsB. comfort brides

C. trick evil spiritsD. bring good fortune

3.The passage is mainly developed ________.

A. by timeB. by spaceC. by processD. by comparison

Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering around the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.

Showrooming is something I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I’m not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.

Amy Cashman, head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying”. She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.

But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.

We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen, but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!

1.The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ________.

A. introduce the topic

B. give two examples

C. compare different opinions

D. get answers from readers

2.According to Amy Cashman, which is not the reason for showrooming?

A. The lack of time.

B. The comfort of the sofa.

C. The shortness of money.

D. The security of the product.

3.The author’s attitude towards showrooming is ________.

A. criticalB. neutralC. casualD. supportive
