3 . Too much pizza, and too many video games…You need to make some life decisions to keep off the love handles(腰间赘肉). But be careful!     1     Here are the best ways for kids to lose weight.

Food first

It is very simple to see that if you eat a lot of foods with sugar and fat, you are probably in danger of gaining weight. Healthy diet might not taste as good, it might be more expensive, and it might be less convenient.     2    

Sweating with sports

Sports are a fun way to lose weight. Here are a few great sports that will make you sweat off all the extra fat: Football, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, running, badminton, and swimming.     3     The coach usually makes you work hard and exercise a lot.

A special sport

    4     Yoga(瑜伽)helps to stretch(伸展)your body into strange positions about which you might feel uncomfortable at first; but as you get used to it, your body will thank you. Not only will yoga make you keep thin, but it will shape your body perfectly.

    5    

Another way to lose weight is to avoid your parents’ car. By refusing to get rides to school, walking or biking to school will totally keep you in good shape.

It is never easy to lose weight. Everyone wants a quick and easy solution, but you have to realize that the best way to lose weight is to keep slow and lasting.

A．Parents’ guide

B．Kill the car

C．But it will bring you happiness and a great body.

D．One of the biggest trends to lose weight is yoga

E．Maybe you can’t lose weight for the first weeks and then you give up.

F．Joining a team with a coach is the best way to lose weight.

G．Losing weight in a wrong way can also be dangerous especially for kids.

4 . When HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also pays tribute (致敬) to classical Chinese culture by naming the system “Hongmeng” in Chinese. “Hongmong” is a classical word from the Taoist (道家) text Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese myths and legends, “Hongmeng” was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed.

For HarmonyOS, “Hongmeng” indicates the developers’ aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other. Besides “Hongmeng”, Huawei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese mythology, such as “Qilin”for the Kin mobile chip, and “Kunpeng” for the server chip. Many Chinese internet users and media have praised Huawei’s use of these names, “as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people’s imagination and spirit of exploration”, Global Times noted.

In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “the glorious light of domestic anime”. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese mythology The Investiture of the Gods. Unlike his attractive heroic character in previous cinematic works, Ne Zha is shown as a rebellious underdog, who has to overcome hardship and his dark fate to become a hero. Many young Chinese people can relate to Ne Zha, who encourages them to become dream-chasers and fate-changers. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting and incorporating a modern context, “ancient mythology has the power to stir up contemporary imagination in young people”. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.

1. Why did Huawei name the new system “Hongmeng” in Chinese?

A．Huawei was interested in describing the original state of the universe.

B．Huawei targeted at designing a unique operating system in the world.

C．Huawei aimed to develop classical culture.

D．Huawei was fond of Chinese myths and legends.

2. What was Global Times’ tone about Huawei’s use of the names from ancient cultures?

A．Admirable.	B．Indifferent.
C．Neutral.	D．Critical.

3. Which statement about the new movie Ne Zha is NOT true?

A．Not all the plot is based on the popular Chinese mythology.

B．The new film Ne Zha means a lot to domestic anime in China.

C．The character of Ne Zha is a failure at first in previous works.

D．The film Ne Zha encourages many youth to achieve dreams.

4. What’s the passage mainly about?

A．Huawei’s new names for its products and their influence.

B．A brief introduction of a new successful movie Ne Zha.

C．Imagination is important and the beginning of creation.

D．Ancient cultures come into new life and inspire imagination.

5 . Long plane trips can be tiring. Luckily, there are things you can do both during and after a long flight that can help reduce (减轻) your discomfort.

During the flight

•     1     Boredom gives you the chance to pay attention to your discomfort. Instead, help pass the time by watching a movie, reading a book, writing a letter, walking up and down the aisle (过道), or listening to music.

• Drink a lot and eat just a little. The longer the flight, the more the air dries out.     2     Stay away from wine and coffee because they can make you lose more water. Eat lightly.

• Make yourself comfortable. Wear loose-fitting clothing and sit comfortably.     3     Avoid crossing your legs, and get any hard subjects out of your back pockets.

• Get a good seat. Request a seat over the wing or the wheels.     4     Sitting in an aisle seat will make it easier for you to get up from your seat and will give you more legroom.

• Sleep. If possible, sleep during night flights, and just take a very short sleep on day flights.

After arrival

There is no useful way to deal with jet lag (时差综合症).     5     For example, you can reset your watch when you take off, and you can eat and sleep at the local time right away.

A．Keep busy.

B．Avoid ear pain.

C．However, environmental treatment may help.

D．This is where you will hardly feel the moving or shaking.

E．Proper sitting helps reduce aches, pains and back soreness.

F．Drinking about one glass of water each hour can reduce this dryness.

G．Reduce ear pressure during takeoff and landing by having hard candy.

6 . To see the world is one thing. To have someone to share it with is another. Indeed the travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business

You can have someone to talk to

Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you, re traveling to. You don’ t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.

One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品)to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budg- et(预算).However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.

You can meet a good friend

Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.

You can have someone to watch out for you

When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know   the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind   you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now?

Let’s find out how ...

1. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

7 . Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.

People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.

During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable (有利可图的).

However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested (抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.

Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.

In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?

1. What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?

A．The growing human population.

B．Humans’ hope for making a fortune.

C．Humans’ too much need for wild food.

D．Not having enough laws on wildlife protection..

2. What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?

A．Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.

B．Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.

C．Those who killed elephants all got caught.

D．Hunting was completely not allowed.

3. Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A．To show the effort to protect seal babies.

B．To show an increasing number of seal babies.

C．To show the decrease of worry about certain species.

D．To show people’s protest against the killing of seal babies.

4. What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?

A．Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.

B．Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.

C．Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.

D．Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.

8 . On account of the difficulty in finding a satisfactory job, many college students are willing to start online shops to get over such period. A survey launched by social survey center of China Youth Daily indicates that 66.9 percent of the interviewees encourage graduates to keep online stores as starting enterprises, while 12.3 percent, disagree.

Have an advantage.

A college student in Shanghai named Liu Heng is a master of online shopping. He thinks that university students have unparalleled (绝无仅有的) advantage in managing such businesses network resource and abundant time.

＂I learned a lot about business in KAB entrepreneur courses, ＂ Liu said. ＂Brain storm and search engine will help you solve most of the problems in starting your own business.＂

＂College students have much online shopping experience, so they are aware of what their peers need. That’s the advantage they have,＂ Lu Jing, a member in KAB entrepreneur club in Southwestern University of Finance and Economics told reporters.

The investigation displays that 69.7 percent of the graduates surveyed believe they underestimate (低估) the difficulty of running a shop; 57.8 percent think lack of experience would lead them to legal prosecution (起诉);   53.3 percent feel it would delay studying and 48.3 percent fear losing confidence in anything else if they fail once.

Last summer vacation I did some fruit-picking. It was an interesting but pretty hard work. I had to start at 7 am and pick eight hours. But it was such cheerful and full of funny. Some of we had guitars, so in the evenings we had barbecues and play a bit of music together. I only got about $80 a week, but at least they gave me all my meal, and the food was not that awfully. Basic accommodation was also supplying. However, I’m afraid I won’t be going fruit-picking this summer, because I’ve got a temporary job in town what pays better.
