Besides building my body and improving my skills, they also free me from the heavy work of study.Here I have some suggestions. To students, we'd better choose the activities which interest us and suit us; Schools should organize more activities for students and leave more time for activities by giving us less homework.Dear friends, please actively take part in after-activities, which will not only make your school life colorful, but also improve your learning.II.完形填空11、Patricia is a pianist and music teacher in California.She wanted to 1 money for music scholarships at her local community colIege.One day she had an idea.She thought, "I'm going to ride my 2 across the United State this summer.rm going to ask people to give money 3 every mile I ride."She talked to the people in the community about 4 idea.

But can it help kids lose weight In the first study to look at the influence of literature on overweight teenagers, researchers at Duke Children's Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference.The Duke researchers asked overweight girls aged 9 to 13 who were already in a weight loss program to read a novel called Lake Rescue. It was carefully created with the help of pediatric experts (儿科专家)to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models.Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease (fall) in their BMI scores (-.71%) when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadn't (+.05%), explained Alexandra C. Russell, a fourth-year medical student at Duke who led the study.“As a pediatrician, I can't count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful advice, yet I've never been able to point to research to back up my recommendations J says Sarah Armstrong, director of Duke's Healthy Lifestyles Program where the research took place. "This is the first probable interventional (介入的)study that found literature can have a positive influence on healthy lifestyle changes in young girls.”Obesity(肥胖)is becoming more widespread in children, according to the CDC (Centres for Disease Control), which reports that 16 percent of children aged 6 to 19 are overweight or obese, a number that has increased since 1980. Researchers are looking at a lot of ways to help kids stay healthy, lose weight and be more active, but Armstrong says, “most don't work very well. The weight loss choices that are effective typically involve taking powerful medications with side effects, or require long-lasting surgical procedures.While the BMI decrease because of the book is small, Armstrong says any decrease in BMI is encouraging because BMI typically increases in children as they grow and develop. Thafs okay as long as it follows a normal, progressing curve(曲 线). In overweight kids, however, BMI usually increases more quickly. uIf their BMI percentile (百分位)goes down, it means they are either losing weight or getting tall and not gaining weight. Both are seen as positive signs in kids who are trying to lose weight,“ she explains.1. What did researchers at Duke Children's Hospital do?A.

However, unlike rubbish that piles up （堆积）in our environment, if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it So how do you recycle language?There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your won words. After you have don this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don't worry if you have made mistakes. That's how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.1. According to the passage, recycling language means.A. repeating vocabulary at timesB. revising vocabulary at a proper timeC. learning new vocabulary as much as possibleD. using vocabulary that we have learnt very often2.
