1 . As is known to all, sports are necessary, but many people are worried about getting hurt in sports. The equipment（装备）you wear while taking part in sports and other activities is key to avoiding injuries（受伤）.

Start with helmets（头盔）. They’re important for sports and activities such as football, baseball, softball, biking, horseback riding, skateboarding, inline skating, skiing, and snow boarding—to name just a few.    1    Every helmet should be replaced after any accident, as there can be more problems you can’t see.

    2    Sports participation（参与）is the leading cause of eye injuries in teens, but proper fitting protective eyewear can reduce the risk of serious eye injury by 90%. Don’t just wear your regular glasses when you’re on the court or field.    3    

Wear a mouthguard if you play a contact sport where head injury is a risk, such as football, basketball, volleyball and boxing.    4    They can be fitted for your mouth by a dentist（牙医）or bought at sports stores.

And last but not least, the right footwear can keep you from tripping and falling. You know that sports like football, baseball, softball, and soccer require cleats（防滑鞋）.    5    Ask your coach or doctor what shoes are best for your sport.

A．They don’t provide protection.

B．Need to find the right helmet size for you?

C．Eye protection is also a must for many sports.

D．Helmets reduce the risk of head injuries by 75% - 85%.

E．Mouthguards can protect your mouth, teeth, and tongue.

F．The right kind of equipment is important, so is the right size.

G．But you may not realize that sports like biking need special types of shoes, too.

3 . The brain is an important organ of the human body. So what can we do to to keep our brains healthy both physically and functionally?

·Turn ordinary activities into brain-stimulating ones

    1     while out for a walk in your neighborhood. Use detailed and expressive language to describe your surroundings, as well as what you can see and hear when talking on the phone to a friend or a family member.

·Go out as much as possible

Going outside to take exercise every day, like running slowly, even for a short period of time, can build up the body, increase heart rate and improve mood. A little sunshine outside is great for vitamin D production.     2    

·Think about returning to a previous hobby

The best activities for brain health are the ones that challenge your brain to be quick and accurate. Do you have a musical instrument sitting in the closet?     3    ,dust it off and try it. Or use one of the previous adult coloring books that are so popular now, which can help you relieve stress and focus.

    4    

You can adopt a brain exercise program at home to keep your brain fit. The exercise is based on the principles of brain plasticity, the way the brain reorganizes through learning and exercising.

·Eat a healthy diet and be sure to get adequate sleep

As we know, food provides nutrition for the brain.     5    . Getting adequate and quality sleep also will do wonders when it comes to improving your mental health.

5 . Take a walk down the street of any city and you are sure to pass signs for KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut. In 2010, there are fast food restaurants in over 650 cities throughout China. Last year, the fast food industry in China grew 13%, compared to just 2.9%in the USA. This year, there were over 560 Pizza Huts, 1,200 McDonald's, and 3,000 KFCs throughout the country.

Why is fast food so popular in China? The people behind KFC, McDonald's, and other companies realized the need for adaptation. You can find items in Chinese KFCs that you cannot find in the West. That is because they not only realize that Chinese palates (味觉) are different, but also willingly spend the time and money to create new food specifically for those palates. This localization of an international brand makes fast food eaters in China feel as if they are part of a larger community, yet can enjoy their regional tastes.

Curiosity also played heavily into the popularization of fast food restaurants in China. There's no better way to get people to enter your restaurant than to have something different that everyone is curious to try. There is also a general idea that things from the West are better, or if something is good enough for western people, it is good enough for Chinese people. This could also have encouraged Chinese people, especially the young, to frequently go to fast food restaurants.

People are willing to spend a bit more on these fast food because of the general concern for food safety that seems to be becoming more and more important to most Chinese people. While there are still countless food shops on the roadside that have no government control over safety standards, there are many people who demand higher health standards. These foreign fast food restaurants that follow western standards of food safety attract this crowd. Until they stop providing what the Chinese people obviously want, they will continue to remain popular.

Warm up for 5 minutes before jogging

It’s very important to warm up before you jog.    3    .Some good warm-up exercises include doing knee lifts, side-stepping and climbing stairs. You may have heard that it’s important to stretch (拉伸) before you run, but stretching before exercise can put additional strain (拉紧) on your muscles. Therefore, focus on warming up before jogging.

To make the most of your jogging, remember to keep your head straight and your muscles relaxed, avoid lifting your knees too high, and touch the ground lightly with the middle of your foot.

7 . Nowadays organic food has become a fashion. Organic food sales reached a record of $ 45.2 billion in 2017, making it one of the fastest-growing parts of American agriculture. Some people may buy organic food for these reasons like resource cycling and biodiversity, but most people may choose organic food because they think it's healthier. While a small number of studies have shown relationships between eating organic food and reducing risks of being ill, no studies, up to now, have answered the question whether eating organic food can improve health.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA), organic food does not suggest anything about health. In 20155 Miles McEvoy, then chief of the National Organic Program for the USDA, refused to admit any health benefits of organic food, saying the question has nothing to do with the National Organic Program. Instead, the USDA thinks that organic refers to a production method that increases cycling of resources keeps ecological balance, and protects biodiversity.

I'm an environmental health scientist who has spent over 20 years studying pesticides that do harm to human beings. Several years ago, I was part of the study on whether an organic diet can reduce pesticide exposure. This study focused on a group of pesticides which have always been harmful to children's brain development. We found that children who ate traditional diets had nine times higher exposure to these pesticides than children who ate organic diets.

Last month, I published a small study that suggested a path forward to answering the question whether eating organic food actually improves health. My study got a lot of attention. While the results were novel, they didn't answer the big question. As I told The New York Times in 2003, “What does this really mean for the safety of my kids? But we don't know. Nobody does. It was true then, and it's still true now.”

1. Why do most people prefer to buy organic food?

A．For its health benefits.	B．For biodiversity.
C．For its delicious taste.	D．For resource cycling.

2. What does the USDA suggest about organic food?

A．It can improve people's health.	B．It is produced in an environment-friendly way.
C．It can reduce risks of being ill.	D．It has nothing to do with the National Organic Program.

3. What can be concluded from the author's study?

A．Pesticides don't harm children's brain.	B．Traditional diets benefit people's health.
C．Organic diets can reduce pesticide exposure.	D．The results are meaningful to children's safety.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．What Is Organic Food?	B．Is Organic Food Healthier?
C．How Should We Avoid Pesticides?	D．What Are the Benefits of Organic Food?
