watched TV at home.They loved exercising outdoors.I fell in love with doing that，too.If parents lead by example，kids will be more likely to join in the fun.Second，parents should set healthy goals.Parents should provide kids with at least five different kinds of fruits and vegetables every day.Kids should be allowed to watch TV for less than two hours daily.Also，parents should ask their kids to do physical activity for at least one hour daily.Third，parents can give children toys that encourage physical activity，like balls，kites，and jump ropes.When I was young，my father often gave me balls as birthday presents and I really made good use of them.Thats so much for today.Thank you for your listening.第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AMake

BWorried.CDoubtful. DUninterested.解析：推理判断题。由第三段中的“a lot of people laughed at him，including his mother”可知，一开始妈妈不看好威廉能做出风车。答案：C26What can we learn about Williams first windmill?AIt was sold at a high price.BIt was made of thrown­away things.CIt could bring water up from underground.DIt looked the same as the photo in Using Energy.解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“He didnt have the parts and equipment that he saw in the books pictures.So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine”可知，威廉的第一个风车是由废弃的东西做的。答案：B27Which of the following can best describe William?AHonest. BHumorous.CSelf­centered. DStrong­minded.解析：推理判断题。由第三段描述很多人嘲笑威廉做不成风车，但他却仍然充满信心，以及最后一段中他鼓励人们不要放弃梦想Whatever happens，dont give up可知，他是一个意志坚定的人。答案：DCThese days，it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets.Rather than depend on another pre­existing planet，could we make a new，proper planet ourselves?To start with，if wed want to be living on it，we should find a good place in space to put the new planet.Wed want it to be in a habitable zone，meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly，liquid (液态的) water.Wed also need the right materials to make the planet.Our Earth is made up of many different elements (元素)If we made our own new planet，wed probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure (结构)Wed also want enough water to form some oceans.But even if we get all of the materials，creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles.It might be something more like a huge space station.It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.We would probably also need a lot of food，since theres going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!According to NASA，each astronaut uses about 0.83 kilograms of food per meal，including 0.12 kilograms of packaging (包装) material.Without the weight of the packaging material，wed need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality，creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there
