【推荐1】A 14-year-old British student is packing for the next day of school: textbooks, notebooks, pens, 250 grams of flour, an egg and some cooking oil. Wait, what? It’s not joke. From September, cookery will be a compulsory(必修的) course for kids aged 7-14 in the UK. Primary school students will learn how to put things together and make simple, healthy food.
At high school, students will then master a number of different meals. They will also learn some cooking skills including baking. Britain is sometimes known as a country with bad food and unhealthy eating habits. These new courses are part of the country’s effort to bring healthy food back onto the table. “One in four British families no longer have a table that everyone can eat around. One out of every two meals we eat is eaten alone. Only four out of ten of us enjoy eating meals with our children,” British writer Joanna Blythman wrote in her book Bad Food Britain: How A Nation Ruined Its Appetite(胃口) in 2006. Instead, ready meals have become the first choice for many British kids, because their parents are often too busy to cook a proper meal. The Department for   Education hopes that the cookery courses can introduce children to good food and reduce childhood obesity. “It’s important that children can develop an interest and understanding of good food,” said a spokesman for the department.
“ We want to encourage them to develop a love of food and cooking that will stay with them as they grow up.”

【推荐1】I love taking exercise with my husband Chris. In general, we do our own exercise separately first, but then we really enjoy spending 30—40 minutes doing something we both like together. I also train with my family—my brother, his wife and sometimes our cousins will come to our house to train together. It’s like family fun time! A little bit of competition also makes us exercise harder.

As you know, laziness is contagious. This is also true for the love of sport. If you can get your partner to join you in sport, you two will be able to encourage each other on those days when the other doesn’t want to move. If you set yourself a challenge and add competition to the mix, I’m sure that the exercising will be much more fun. Time will fly by and you’ll want to do it again.

This is why I wanted to learn Chris’s favourite sport—climbing. Not only would we have more things to do together, but also it would be a great challenge for me. In turn, I have introduced Chris to two of my favourite activities: horse riding and motorbiking. Now he also loves them, which means we have even more chances to have fun together. Influenced by our example, my brother and his wife now do sport together too. This is what it’s all about at the end of the day: quality time with your partner.

What if you don’t have a partner? Well, I’m sure you have a friend who would love to exercise with you. Or, if you have young children, why not do that in the backyard with another parent while they play? You just need some music. The important thing is to have a plan and to make the time to do it. It will be much more fun than doing it on your own.

【推荐3】下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Food is an important part of everyone’s life, but it can become a problem when it’s all you think about. If you are trying to make a change in your diet, you may be fighting against continuous thoughts about food that you are hungering for. To keep food off your mind, follow the following tips and start a healthy relationship with food.

    1    

Sometimes your body gets some wrong message and tells you that you’re hungry when you really just need some water. Keep a water bottle with you during the day and drink water very often. If you start to think about food, drink some water to see if it makes you not feel hungry anymore.

    2    

If you buy things like cookies, chips, and soda, you’re probably going to think about them while they are sitting in your kitchen. Avoid the temptation by only buying healthy foods. Create a shopping list before you go shopping and stick to it as much as you can. Never go to the food store while you are hungry. This can cause you to buy unhealthy food that you are hungering for.

    3    

If you’re starting to think about food, try getting up and going for a ride a run, or even a round of soccer with your friends. Exercise is a great way to keep your mind and body occupied while meeting your fitness goals. Try to find a physical activity that you like doing so that you look forward to it. Hiking, rock climbing, weight training, and swimming are all great activities to get your body moving.

    4    

If you’re just sitting in your home, you are more likely to think about all the food that is in your kitchen. Go for a walk around the block, run some errands. or head to a movie to keep your mind off food. If you have a pet,take them for a short walk around your neighborhood as an excuse to get out of the house.

    5    

Sometimes your brain may still be focused on food. Try keeping a diary to write in whenever you feel like food is on your mind. Write down what you did that day, how you are feeling, and what your goals are. Get creative with your diary by adding pictures or stickers as decoration. Use a pocket-sized diary to keep with you whenever you might need it.

A．Get yourself out of the house.

B．Add healthy fats to your diet.

C．Keep junk food out of the house.

D．Do a fun physical activity that you enjoy.

【推荐1】 Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Why do people cry? What are tears? Scientists are working hard to find the answers to these questions.

Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology（心理学） at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying. According to Vingerhoets, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective object between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally. there are emotional tears. “These are connected with our feelinngs,” explains Vingerhoets. “Especially when we feel helpless.”

Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex（复杂的）social creatures. ” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor from the USA. “It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others.” She says another reason we cry is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time for humans to grow up.”

Vingerhoets ______. “I think that the reason why humans cry has something to do with our childhood.” he says. “That's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. Tears were a safer way to be noticed by others. In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help,” he says.

Vingerhoets and Bylsma do lots of studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Bylsma, there is still much more to discover. “It's surprising,” she says, “how much we still don't know.”

1. What kind of tears will run down your face when something gets into your eyes?

A．Basal tears.	B．Reflex tears.
C．Joyful tears.	D．Emotional tears.

2. Which word can be put into “_______” in Paragraph 4?

A．agrees.

B．cheers.

C．repeats.

D．succeeds.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．It's easy to understand why humans cry.

B．Basal tears are a type of protective object.

C．Emotional tears are better than reflex tears.

D．The reason why humans cry has nothing to do with childhood.

4. Where can we possibly read this passage?

A．In a novel.	B．In a sports newspaper.
C．In a science magazine.	D．From a piece of business information.
