Other people can keep slim( 苗条) without any effort.  But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it. The question is : what can they do about it? Some  believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like.  It' s straight forward and often quite effective.Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.41. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that_A.  it makes you sweat                                B.  it' s hard workC.  it tires you out                                    D.  it makes you eat more42. The practical method suggested in this passage means_.A.  sticking to bananas                      B.  not eating many carbohydratesC.  eating things that are hard to digest         D.  eating as little as possible43. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_.A.  weight                 B.  power                C.  electricity           D.  heat44.  Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage? A. Various Ways of Losing Weight                B. Don't Eat Too Mud C.  Ways to Keep Fit                          D.  Food and Health BMost people heard of Shakespeare(莎士比亚) and probably know something of his plays. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this world - famous man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford - upon - Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life.Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his leaving home for London. It is said that he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from a neighboring landowner, and because of this he was forced to leave his native place.Whatever caused him to leave his hometown, the world can be thankful about it. When he arrived in London, he set his foot on the road to farm.  It is said that he was without money or friends there at first, but that he made a little money by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, he came to know the doctors in the theatre, and they found him clever. Finally he was invited to join their company. By 1592, he had become one of the three members of a famous company.From what we know of his later life, it is clear that Shakespeare' s connection with theatre had made him a wealthy man since he wrote the plays, which attracted a good many people. Towards the end of the 16th century he bought a large property in Stratford. No less than eleven of his plays were produced after he went back there. These include the great tragedies Othello, Macbeth and King Lear.Shakespeare died in 1616. Some years earlier he chose it gravestone(墓碑). He wrote on the stone that if anyone might remove his body from his grave, he would bring bad luck on him.It seems strange that he should have had this fear. He might have known how deeply he was respected for the genius he showed in his plays and poems.45. Shakespeare was forced to run away from _.A. London                               B. OxfordC. Stratford - upon - Avon                  D. the school of his hometown46. In London he_.A. sold the stolen rabbits and deer              B. looked after horsesC.  was put into prison                      D.  set up a company of his own47. Which of the following is NOT true?A.   Shakespeare wrote as many as eleven plays in his life.B.   Shakespeare wrote not only plays but also poems.C.   Shakespeare was a play writer.D.   In the late 1590s Shakespeare bought a large property for himself.48. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.   Somebody had removed his body out of his tomb.B.  The words have been removed from his gravestone.C.   Nobody removed his body out of his tomb.D.   His body is still there but his gravestone has been removed away.

Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away from the home. Since the man earned the money, they paid the bills. The money was used for food, -clothes, the house, and other family needs, the man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and did other housework. Her job at home was very important.In recent years, many couples continues to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family.
