University suggests howlife style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers conclude thatthe French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However,Americans tend to stopwhen their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr.Joseph Mercola,a health expert,the French see eating as animportant part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long-4-time at the table,while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed betweenthe other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense whenthey are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition,he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy cannedand frozen foods for the week.The French,instead,tend to shop daily,walking tosmall shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,vegetables,and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States,Mireille Guiliano,author ofFrench WomenDont Get Fat,decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop ratherthan suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goesto the gym.In spite of all these differences,evidence shows that recent life style changesmay be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity orextremeoverweight among adults is only 6%.However,as American fast food gains acceptanceand the young reject older traditions,the obesity rate among French children hasreached 17%and is growing.21.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola?A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C.They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.22.This text is mainly about the relationship between _.A.Americans and the FrenchB.life style and obesityC.children and adultsD.fast food and overweight23.This text is mainly developed _A.by contrastB.by spaceC.by processD.by classification(分类)24.Where does this text probably come from?A.A TV interviewB.A food advertisementC.A health reportD.A book review-5-B BPeople do not like being separated from their mobile phones,even while enjoyinga restful holiday at the beach.However,the phone battery may become exhaustedcompletely.If that happens,they have no choice but to connect the phone to the powersupply.But its impossible to get the battery charged at the beach.Whats worse,the hot sun is shining right overhead,and the water in the bottle is sure to reacha very high temperature.Antoine Sayah,a university student from Lebanon,developed a special beach matcalled the Beachill.It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause backpain as well.However,the device can recharge any mobile phone.It is designed tobe water-resistant and has a 5-watt solar panel,which provides power continuously.The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool,justlike the refrigerator.Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for$150.He says hehas been surprised at the reaction worldwide.“I have got orders for the device fromBrazil,Toronto,all over Europe,especially France,America,from all continents.”The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places,like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry.Rita Mathieubought one of the Beachills.“When I am on the beach,I used to look around for acharger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,”she says.“So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it,even a pocket whereI can put a book.Thanks to it,I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friendsat any time at the beach.”25.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.A.show great pity for people at the beachB.attract the readers interest in the subjectC.provide some key facts about mobile phonesD.prove the importance of water in hot weather26.What can we learn about the Beachill?A.It is quite unusual in appearance.-6-B.It will stop working in the water.C.It

text is written to _.A.tell people a new way to get a cold drinkB.ask people to stop using phones at the beachC.encourage people to travel around the worldD.introduce a beach mat that can charge a phoneC CSeveral years ago,a television reporter was talking to three of the most importantpeople in America.One was a very rich banker,another owned one of the largestcompanies in the world and the third owned many buildings in the centre of New York.The reporter was talking to them about being important.“How do we know if someone is really important?”The reporter asked the banker.The banker thought for a few moments and then said,“I think anybody who isinvited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is reallyimportant.”The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company.“Do you agreewith that?”She asked.The man shook his head,“No.I think the President invites a lot of people tothe White House.Youd only be important if while you were visiting the President,there was a telephone call from the President of another country,and the Presidentof the US said he was too busy to answer it.”The reporter then turned to the third man,“Do you think so?”“No,I dont,”he said.“I dont think that makes the visitor important.That makes the President important.“Then what would make the visitor important?”The reporter and the other twomen asked.-7-“Oh,I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the Presidentand the phone rang,and the President picked up the receiver,listened and then said,“It is for you.”29.The story happened

Americantribes.To Native Americans,wolves often represent bravery.The animals also aresigns of strength,loyalty,and success at hunting.Other culturessuch as theancient Celtic and Nordic peoplesalso placed high value on wolves.However,from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in childrens stories,wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚)in both literature and English expressions.Tobegin with,there is the term lone wolf.The lone wolf isnt a bad person.But theylike to do things on their own.However,the term can mean something less than desirable.Lone wolf makes you think the person doesnt want to be around people because heor she dislikes them.Now,lets move on to the home.Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food.In other words,the child eats very quickly and without care.And if someone says a child was raised-8-by wolves,that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A wolf atthe door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door.By the way,there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop,the ancient Greek storyteller.The first is a wolf in sheeps clothing.A wolf in sheeps clothing describessomeone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside.Aesops other wolf fable also involves a shepherd,but not a hardworking one.He is known as the boy who cried wolf.People who cry wolf are not trusted.Peopleare so familiar with this story,you simply have to say cry wolf for them to knowwhat you mean.32.According to the passage,which group of people may think wolves are bad animals?A.The
