2 . “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they offer energy and fiber, without giving us much fat and sugar. But why is water important?

The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.

Some doctors believe that water is important for health in all kinds of ways. They believe that many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration—a lack of water. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.

These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are fat. Water contains no calories so it will not make us gain weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.

There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to see the doctors completely.

3 . “Are you cold?”

This is a question I’ve heard many times since（自……以来）I came to China. I often wear a light jacket and T-shirt in winter, when most other people are wearing heavy clothing.

I know people are confused（困惑的）when I wear so little clothing during winter. But when my Chinese friends say no to eat or drink cold things, even during the summer, that’s when the tables turn and I become confused. They believe that cold food and drinks might harm their health. Where does this belief come from? My friends said their parents taught them that cold food and drinks are bad for your stomach. One friend even told me that cold drinks, such as ice water, can cause stomach to have a terrible illness.

But after doing some research of my own, I wasn’t sure if this was true. But an article I read on Snopes, a myth-busting（辟谣）website, says the food that you eat will quickly match your own temperature. So, it doesn’t matter if you eat something hot or cold. The temperature of the food or drinks will match your own temperature any way. But on the other hand, when I get sick, my Chinese friends often tell me drink some hot water and have a good rest. And I have to say, following this advice often does make me feel better.

6 . Yesterday, Danny ate lunch at a restaurant with his family. Late that night, he had food poisoning (食物中毒). He wanted to know how it happened. Danny learned about a few reasons for food poisoning.

The first reason is bacteria (细菌) in the food. Bacteria live in a lot of food and they live in meat, eggs and seafood most often. If you cook the food in a right way, you can kill the bacteria in it.

Another way to get food poisoning is from parasites (寄生虫). They often live in meat, but could live on vegetables, too. If you don't cook the food in a right way, these parasites may start living in your body!

The third way that you can get food poisoning is by eating the food with toxins(毒素) in it. Sometimes the food gets toxins naturally, and sometimes the toxins come from insect spray (喷雾杀虫剂). So you must wash the food carefully before you eat or cook it.

The last way that people get food poisoning is from allergens (过敏原). Some people are just allergic to some food, and they may feel very uncomfortable after eating it.

Danny decided he would choose food carefully and cook it in a right way before he ate it in the future. That was important. He never wanted to feel this way again.

7 . 阅读短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。选项中有一项为多余选项。

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors.     1    .

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices.     2    , then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this,because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops.If parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,they will go for sweet and salty foods,and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.

There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home,they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.    3    .What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem..    4    ,as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

A．I feel there are a number of reasons for this

B．If there were fewer of these restaurants

C．Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active

D．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）,it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food

E．Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier, too

8 . Some of us eat more than we should on Thanksgiving Day.     1     However, many of us will continue to overeat throughout the holiday season. Nobody likes to feel terrible, and few of us are trying to gain weight, so why do we continue to eat more than we need?

    2     Most of us think we are controlling the amount of food we eat, but a research shows that our environment has much influence on the amount of food we eat.

In one study, people attending a movie received free popcorn that was not fresh.    3     Many of the popcorn eaters found that the popcorn was not fresh, but the people receiving large bags still ate 34% more than those receiving smaller bags. When they received fresh popcorn, the people with large bags ate 42%more than the people receiving small bags.

In another study, the larger the plate, the more we pile(堆砌) on. Participants received a plate and were allowed to serve themselves. Researchers then sneezed(打喷嚏)on the plate and told participants to fix another plate.    4     Participants put 25% more food on the larger plate. This shows that the size of the plate influences the amount of food we choose to take.

    5     Many kinds of food is served during the holidays and that makes us eat more. To prevent overeating and weight gain, please use a small plate at meals. When you have eaten the food on that plate, don't take more unless you are actually still hungry.

A．The second plate was larger than the first.

B．Some of us feel terrible because we eat too much.

C．It's not surprising that we eat more food during the holidays.

D．Researchers used two kinds of bags with two different colors.

E．According to a research, most of us are eating a lot more than we think.

F．If you eat less, you'll feel certainly better at the end of the holidays.

G．Some people received small bags of popcorn while others received large bags.

9 . It is back-to school time in much of the world. Calm, easy mornings are replaced with busy, hurried ones.     1     Many parents are also getting ready for work, helping their children and preparing food for lunch.

But,don' t forget about breakfast! When things get busy in the morning, some people don't eat breakfast to save time.    2     The parents and students must realize the mistake. Everyone should pay attention（关注） to breakfast.

As a student, you should not skip breakfast because it has something to do with your grades. Maybe you don't believe it.    3    That is the finding of a study from Cardiff University in Wales. Researchers did a survey among 5,000 students from more than 100 primary schools in the U.K. They asked the students whether they had breakfast and what they ate for breakfast.     4    Finally, they found out that the students who ate a healthy breakfast got better grades..

    5    The answer is yes. Researchers say that situations are different in different countries. For example, in the United States, about 8 to 12 percent of all students in grade school do not eat breakfast. When students are in high school, 20 to 30 percent of them ignore （忽视）the morning meal.

A．Is it true that many children don't eat breakfast?

B．Children wake up early and get ready for school.

C．Here is a finding about breakfast and grades.

D．But that may be a big mistake for students.

E．Some students just have lunch at school.

F．Then they did a survey about their grades 6 to 18 months later.
