2、y.The class of seven-year-olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School, Royton, Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.

Obviously, they were all talking about Christmas

4、and being a bit rowdy. She just came straight out with it. My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class especially as it was so close to Christmas. I thought it was wrong.

9、ing fitness, you were thinking entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find. Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping ro

10、pe has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they dont think theyll be able to continue jumping fo

11、r the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitivenot as something fun or enjoyable. As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foo

12、t bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a doublebounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping. Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepare

13、s the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short , jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.44. From the first paragraph we learn that .Ajumping

14、rope has faded from peoples memories Bpeople now have more advanced equipment Cracing around the playground was preferred Dpeople now like to have exercise in a gym 45. Rope jumping has not spread widely because .Ait benefits the cardiovascular systemBit is neither easy nor enjoyable Cit is consider

15、ed boring and repetitiveDit requires little equipment, time and space 46.

16、rds rope jumping?AHe is arguing against it. BHe is in favor of it.CHe is sitting on the fence of it. DHe is not clear about it.CWhats in a name?According to Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet，there is not too much.“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But Shakespeare may have

17、 been wrong. In most cultures，names matter a great deal.Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives，not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a “Jennifer more attractive than a“Bertha，for example. The last name，or，surname，must als

18、o be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic，but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they dont like. On the other hand，people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The

19、 popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common，like Fanny or Elmer，sound old-fashioned today. But other nameslike John and David，Mary and Sarahhave stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.People in Ameica dont always call their friends and r

20、elatives by their given names. Instead，they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance，a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa，Beth or Betsy. As children grow up，they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called.Some people just go by

21、 the initials of their first and middle names，like B. J, or R. C. And of course，people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet flavor，like Honey or Sugar. Whats in a name? A world of significance. So if youre choosing an English name for yoursel

22、f，take care to choose a good one. A madeup name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name，either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said，“In real life，unlike in Sha

23、kespeare，the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.48What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. People change names in order to be popular with the new generanon.B. Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.C. Some names may no longer be popular among the ne

24、w generation.D.

26、r name.DIt is a common fear among users of Facebook and other social media around the worldhow to deal with a friend request from your boss or employee.A survey released on Thursday found that 56 percent of Americans say it is irresponsible to be friends with a boss and 62 percent say it is wrong to

27、 be friends with an employee. But 76 percent believe it is acceptable to be friends with a workplace peer，according to the survey of 1，000 people by Liberty Mutuals Responsibility Project.When the roles change what do you do then? Do you unfriend someone if they have now been promoted to be your bos

28、s or if youre now their boss，said researcher Kelly Holland. We get into some really sticky situations there in terms of what people will think is responsible，she said. When using social media at work，73 percent say it is not appropriate to update your Facebook status，82 percent say you should not up

29、load photos，72 percent believe tweeting is wrong and 79 percent say it is not acceptable to watch online videos. Yet 66 percent say it is fine to check your personal email while at work. “When people focus on responsibility，they know what the responsible thing is to do but whether they are doing tha

30、t in practice or not is a different story,said Holland.Americans are split on whether companies should review the social media profiles of job candidates with 52 percent saying it is appropriate and 48 percent saying it is unacceptable. Social media can also lead to some difficult decisions when it

31、comes to family and relationships. Sixty percent of those polled say that it is“completely acceptable to unfriend an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. More than 40 percent of parents believe it is irresponsible to post photos of children online. Thirty one percent monitor their childrens Facebook accou

32、nts and almost 70 percent are friends with their children on Facebook or MySpace.

Doubtful E Malaria, the worlds most widespread parasitic (寄生虫引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year - almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more

36、than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people dont (or cant) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what

37、 they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long. Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multip

38、ly, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染) .They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesnt kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease is passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infec

39、ted with one of four species of a parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impos

40、sible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the diseases spread is due to global warming.For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a

41、 chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail,
