1 . A daily multivitamin (复合维生素) may give your wellbeing an extra benefit, but if you’ve ever swallowed one and felt sick right after, you know it’s hardly a pleasant experience.    1    

·You’re taking vitamins on an empty stomach.

Vitamins that are more acid in nature, like vitamin C, may cause nausea (恶心) if they’re consumed on an empty stomach. Vitamins A, D, E and K, unlike some others, maybe better absorbed when not taken with food.

    2    

Vitamins are like medicines in that they can act on each other and other medicines you’re taking.     3    Some research suggests that multivitamins could cause side effects when taken at the same time estrogen (雌激素) levels are raised.

·There’s a lot of iron in your pill.

Multivitamins that contain a lot of iron or iron supplements themselves can cause nausea. This is especially true if you’re taking them outside of a meal. Iron is interesting in that it’s best absorbed on an empty stomach, but it’s hardest to take on an empty stomach because of the nausea.     4    It might decrease the absorption a little bit but it’s better than nothing.

·Allergic Reaction Side Effects.

Since multivitamins contain so many vitamins and minerals, allergic reactions are certainly possible. Mild allergic reactions can include itchiness (痒) and a few hives (荨麻疹).     5    Should you experience more advanced signs of an allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing, chest pain, widespread hives or a swollen facial region, visit the closest emergency room immediately.

The label on your vitamins should provide directions for taking them. Check the information before taking it to see what else you should know.

A．You’re taking vitamins with other medicines.

B．Below are a few reasons why they may be making you ill.

C．It’s important to discuss with an expert the timing of these vitamins.

D．These stomach issues can be extremely disturbing.

E．It’s better to take it with food than trying to take it on an empty stomach.

F．If you experience these side effects, stop use and contact your doctor.

G．Please review the combinations to make sure there are no harmful interactions.

2 . Feeling extremely stressed by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic way most of us dream it could be.

The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness — but only up to a point. Compared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day.

Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.

Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.

“In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.”

1. How much free time one day do people have that can generally make them feel better?

A．About 60 minutes.	B．About 90 minutes.
C．From 120 to 180 minutes.	D．From 180 to 210 minutes.

2. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A．How being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health.

B．How the researchers analyzed data from the 35,000 subjects.

C．How “productive” activities are different from “unproductive” ones.

D．How people make use of their free time influences their happiness.

3. How can we understand the “productive” activities in paragraph 4?

A．They must be fun and easy.

B．They are mostly traditional ones.

C．They depend on one’s own sense.

D．They generally rely on one’s own physical condition.

4. What did Sharif say to people who have a lot of free time?

A．People should spend their time with aims.

B．It is not easy for people to have newfound time.

C．People can benefit from large amounts of free time.

D．Retired and unemployed people can’t deal with free time well.

5 . As we all know, exercise provides a wealth of benefits.     1     In the same way that it benefits the muscles of your body. Regular exercise can strengthen your brain, too! By using your mind in new ways, you can improve your memory well into old age and reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) disease.

Recent studies have found that the best thing you can do for your brain is to keep learning new things.     2     The first one is the physical activity that keeps your body in good working order, like walking and weight training. The second one, passive activity, includes socializing, and listening to music. It’s the activity in the third group, however, that really sharps your brain. This activity includes reading, writing, and puzzle-solving.

Studies have shown that people who are less mentally active in their younger years are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s.     3     By taking up a new hobby such as painting, cooking or a game like chess, you can provide your brain with a serious workout.

    4     Studies have shown that fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) can help keep an aging brain in good shape. Foods that are high in B vitamins can also help keep the mind sharp. These foods include beans, fish and dark leafy greens.

Americans are living longer than ever, and it just makes sense to prepare your mind for the old age. Taking a few key steps can make all the difference.     5    

A．Experts divide activities into three types.

B．It makes you stronger and more energetic.

C．You can also eat your way to a healthy brain.

D．You should decide what activities you would like to do.

E．Experts suggest that healthy eating can prevent memory loss.

F．In other words, you’re never too young to give your mind a workout.

G．So let’s try something new, learn new skills, and keep your brain firing.

6 . Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

1. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because_______.

A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B．they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in

2. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?

C．Approving	D．Uninterested

3. How does the passage mainly develop?

A．By providing examples.	B．By making comparisons.
C．By following the order of time.	D．By following the order of importance.

4. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A．To stress the role of dirt.

B．To introduce the history of dirt.

C．To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D．To present the change of views on dirt.

I’m quite health. I rarely get colds but I had bad cold last week.That’s why I played football in the rain. I don’t often get things like flu, neither.

9 . Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits.     1     Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits. Here are some ways to make that happen:

• Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle — both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off. Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle.     2    

•    3     People who spend a lot of time watching TV, playing video games, and using computers are more likely to be overweight. Set reasonable limits on the amount of such time you spend.

• Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals.     4     This means they fill you up. And when you fill up on fruits and veggies, you’re less likely to overeat.

• Don’t skip breakfast. Breakfast starts your metabolism(新陈代谢), burning calories from the beginning of the day and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.     5     In fact, people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs(体重质量指数) than people who eat breakfast.

A．Set realistic goals.

B．Reduce screen time.

C．They’re also rich in fiber(食物纤维).

D．So what’s the best way to drop extra weight?

E．The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.

F．Thus they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast.

G．So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.
