An apple or more a dayApples are full of fiber （纤维）and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.Talk it upEvery time you use the cell phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories. Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.21. The text is to encourage you to.A. go on a dietB. give up your favorite foodsC. join a gymD. follow some habits of thin people22.

The text is most likely to be read.A. in a magazine B. in a dictionary C. in a story-book D. on a mapBIf you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you'll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understandthey like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all.Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a professor at OhioStateUniversity in the US, cats' strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. "Cats today still have many of the same instincts that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years. he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are their jungles/In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they don't have to hunt any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.Cats' hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.However, cats can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines- they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean box: a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.Knowing how cats' minds work is not only useful for better understanding them. It may also help cats' owners to better meet cats' needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier fbr cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use "food puzzles“ to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.24. According to Tony Buffington,.A. cats' strange behavior is difficult for humans to understandcats are more used to living in the wild than in humans' homesB. cats9 instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of year agocats behave strangely mainly because they still have some instincts in the wild25. . Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Cats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animals.B. Cats attack keys and USB drives because they have a habit of hunting small animals.C. Cats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wild.D. Cats' preference fbr a clean litter box has something to do with their hunting habits.26. The underlined word “prey” in Paragraph 5 probably means.A. an animal that is huntedan animal that is too shyB. an animal that keeps itself cleanan animal that likes hiding games27. This article is mainly written to. A. describe cats' past wild experience to readers B. explore the reasons for cats' strange behavior C. tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats D. compare cats' behavior in human homes with that in the wildCMr. Smith is forty-eight years old. He began to teach in a middle school twenty-four years ago. He works hard and always comes to his office on time. He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them. Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the old man is proud of it.This term he began to teach Grade One. Some of the new students were told about him, but the others didn't know him well. He told them how to be an honest person. He gave them several examples and said, “I hate telling a lie most.”Before class was over, he told all his students to finish Exercise 7 in Unit 1. The next morning, as soon as he came into the classroom, he asked, "Who's finished Exercise 7? A few students put up their hands.

What magazine will they buy, what music will they download, or what shoes will they choose for a party? Probably not nearly as good as we think. When it comes to human behavior, the brain is shown to have two different ways of thinking. So it doesn't matter how old you are or how confident you are feeling. It's all about what mood the brain is in!A common thought process is the automatic and fast way which helps us to react反响） quickly in dangerous situations. This is known as system I and dates back to the prehistoric times when people lived with a natural awareness of the dangers around them-bad weather, falling rocks and trees, and threatening animals. Nowadays we still have the ability to react so rapidly and naturally to situations that it can feel like you're not thinking at all. Have you ever found yourself giving in to temptation （诱惑）and unable to say "no" to buying that new jacket in the window? This is because system 1 is in control一a human characteristic which the world of advertisinglikes to make the most of!System 2 is the opposite. It's a slow thought process that requires us to pay attention and concentrate. This way of thinking helps us to make sensible long-term decisions like choosing which university to study at, or what type of car to buy. The problem is that system 2 often starts to feel boring and so system I takes over. How often have you put down your homework or put off doing important jobs to go on Facebook or watch a TV soap?We like to think that we go through life mainly using system 2. However, sometimes it's system 1 that makes the right decision but system 2 that gets it wrong. For example, sports teams put a lot of effort into a game plan, but often ifs the unconscious （无意识的）human wish to do something differently that often leads to an unexpected win. This can also lead to the common mistaken idea that your successful decisions show your skill and talent, when in fact they were just luck.Perhaps one day scientists will be able to predict what decisions people will make by measuring brain activity. In one study, volunteers were monitored with brain-scanning equipment. They were asked to press either a left or a right button whenever they wanted. The researchers found they could predict which button the volunteers would press up to seven seconds before it happened-your brain seems lo know what it will do before you do! Some scientists say our brains are just machines and we are not really in control of what's going on. Let's hope they,re wrong! It's one thing to be able to tell which of two buttons a person will press, but I don't like the idea that science could one day tell me what decisions 1 will make in my life before I've even had the chance to make them!31. System 1 is more likely to be in control when you.A. choose a university B plan a birthday party C. buy a jacket in the window D. prepare for a performance 33. The example of sports teams in Paragraph 4 is mentioned to show. A. people arc more willing to use system 1we go through life mainly using system 2B. system 2 usually makes the wrong decisionsystem I sometimes makes the right decision34 . How does the author feel about the idea that scientists can predict people's decisions?A. Unhappy.B. Uninterested.C. Hopeful.D. Confident.35 . What is the best title of the passage?A. Two Systems of ThoughtB. Early Brain DevelopmentC. The Importance of PlanningD. Two Ways of Dealing with Danger 第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。The only way we can really successfully deal with the unpleasant or unknown situations is to stay open minded. 36. .
