3 . How does it happen that some people never have to see the doctor while some are wasting much money in hospital? The answer lies in their proper, healthy diet. A balanced diet actually means eating all kinds of foods to provide the body with all the nutrients (营养物) it needs for its daily work. It means eating the right type of foods and eating a right amount of food for each meal.

Each food group contains different kinds of nutrients, and our body surely needs all of these, but in different amounts, and it differs from person to person. When it comes to going on a healthy diet, one size is not suitable for all. Everyone leads a different lifestyle, and has different jobs and fitness levels.

A balanced diet matters for everyone. If the body gets all the required nutrients, it’ll improve the immune (免疫) system, which prevents all kinds of diseases. A balanced diet would also be good for the state of mind and then help you remember something better. What’s more, if the body is supplied with all the necessary nutrients, the skin and hair also become healthier. A balanced diet also prevents our body from aging. As a result, you’ll have a more youthful look.

However, for a healthy body, a balanced diet is not enough; it has to be combined with the proper amount of sleep and exercise. These three things, when included in your daily routine, will make sure that you not only have a healthy body but also a healthy mind. So, go ahead and adopt a healthier lifestyle!

1. What does the underlined word “differs” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Comes.	B．Grows.
C．Changes.	D．Matters.

2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The choice of a balanced diet.

B．The features of a balanced diet.

C．The importance of a balanced diet.

D．The relationship between diet and aging.

3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．A balanced diet doesn’t work alone.

B．Mind is closely linked to the body.

C．Exercise is the most important.

D．It's easy to get a healthier lifestyle.

4. Why is the question raised in the first paragraph?

A．To show problems.	B．To give evidence.
C．To list some facts.	D．To lead in the topic.

4 . Working from home has been a long-held dream for many employees craving more flexible work arrangements and comfort. With the fantasy coming true because of the outbreak of COVID-19, however, quite a few people find it less romantic than expected. Amid the ongoing epidemic, a large number of Chinese companies have ordered employees to work from home, looking to control the spread of the virus as staff members return from the Spring Festival travel rush.

Allowing employees to work from home-even if they are not symptomatic-and enabling virtual meetings could help limit the spread of the virus and assuage employees’ fears about exposure.

But there’s another side to the coin. As millions of people started to work at home, people found video communication difficult. Many telecommuting platforms, including DingTalk, an all-in-one mobile workplace from Alibaba, went through temporary outages due to surging demand.

Fu Yangang, a product manager at a house trading company in Beijing, found he couldn’t receive any messages from colleagues during an online meeting at home on Tuesday, and neither could they. Similar problems arose when they switched to Zoom, a California-based video communication app which provides remote conferencing services.

Residences filled with distractions such as spouses, parents, kids or pets set up another obstacle for many employees working from home. Xia Baigi, who works for an Internet company in Beijing, was required to stay at home in Jilin Province until Feb.10, but has found what was an oft-wished for working style a hindrance to productivity. Her parents, who don’t have much to do, suddenly became concerned about her job and asked many questions. “I love my mom and dad, but their current behavior just adds stress and strain,” she said. “Sometimes I have to lock myself in my own room to avoid their enthusiasm.”

For people who are able to stay as productive as they would in an office environment, they came across a different problem： “surprisingly” longer working time at home. Working for an investment company in Shanghai, Zhang Fei felt he could never escape from his job working at home in Shandong Province, which makes time management a whole lot messier. “There is no longer a’ work’ and’ no work’ time. My work comes calling at all hours, which can keep me at a frenetic pace,” he said. With the return date drawing closer, he said, he never felt so excited about being back at the office.

1. Why many people can work from home in China?

A．Because many employees think it is a fantasy idea.

B．Because the employers think more highly of working from home than traditional working.

C．Because the COVID-19 occurred.

D．Because large number of Chinese companies want to avoid the Spring Festival travel rush.

2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?

A．Increase.

B．Ease.

C．Give up.

D．Find.

3. Which of the following statement is right?

A．After Fu Yangang and his partners switched to Zoom, their problem was solved.

B．Xia Baiqi’s parents could give her more constructive advice.

C．Xia Baiqi locked herself in her own room to avoid distractions.

D．By saying “There is no longer a ‘work’ and ‘no work’ time.”, Zhang Fei meant he can work less time when at home.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Working from home has unexpected challenges

B．Working from home can save you a lot of trouble

C．How to avoid distractions when working from home

D．More flexible, less work time

5 . From civil rights to environmental protection, the following books of fiction and nonfiction cover a wide range of topics. And every young liberal（开明人士）should read them.

An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore

Al Gore caught the attention of the world with his 2006 book An Inconvenient Truth, which was later turned into a movie. Based on his lecture tour on global warming, the work explains climate change in a user-friendly way and opens the public’s eyes to the plight（困境）of our planet.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

When John Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962, he was praised for his realistic and imaginative writings, including The Grapes of Wrath. This book centers on a family of Oklahoma farmers who are forced off their land during the Great Depression. While it touches on timely issues such as labor unions and agricultural industry changes, it also explores universal themes of power, family, self-interest and dignity.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair

Focusing on the meat-packing industry in Chicago, Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle explores the life of immigrant workers in the early 20th century. The best-selling account actually made President Theodore Roosevelt pass the law about food safety that year.

The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman

Economist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman presents 80 years of US history in The Conscience of a Liberal, which examines the fall and rise of economic and political inequality. Many believe the 2007 book was a clear call for progressives（进步人士）to take control of the country’s economic future.

7 . Many people, including some successful men, wear the same clothing daily to focus their decision-making energy on more important things.     1     Julia, an art teacher, is wearing the same dress for the first 100 days of school to create awareness of the environmental costs of fast fashion.

Available online or from various shops, it allows everyone to adopt the latest fashion trends instantly. Though that sounds like a win-win for all, the rapid change in styles and the affordable prices result in impulse (冲动) purchases, many of which are thrown away after being worn just once or twice.    2    

Julia's idea for the “One Outfit (服装), 100 Days” began as a comment she made to her husband during the summer.     3     Moreover, it would serve as a great lesson for her new students. Selecting a perfect outfit for the challenge was a little tricky.After some consideration, Julia settled on a plain dress. Though she has a backup dress, Julia plans to use it only if absolutely necessary.

    4     It has also inspired some of her colleagues and her husband to take up the challenge. Julia says the experiment has forced her to rethink her attitude towards clothes. She values things more now—respecting the planet for her children and trying to value herself in a different way, as opposed to caring so much about what she looks like.     5     Reuse, recycle, and, most importantly, reduce.

A．Julia is also tired of making decisions on small things.

B．The experiment has aroused curiosity of many students.

C．Julia's “One Outfit, 100 Days” challenge, however, has a selfless aim.

D．Thanks to Julia's idea, the whole school began to follow her challenge.

E．She hopes more people will learn from her and apply the 3Rs to their life.

F．Over 21 billion pounds of cloth ends up being waste yearly in the US alone.

G．Thinking further, she decided it would be a way to show her eco-friendly lifestyle.
