Why do we see teenagers hanging out with a cigarette in their mouths? If you are a smoker, why don’t you stop smoking? Here are five reasons why you need to give up smoking today.

Smoking is bad for your health – besides lung cancer, smoking is also considered as a major cause of some kinds of diseases. Smoking is also linked to cancers of the mouth, and throat just to name a few. It also raised blood pressure(血壓) and increases the risk of other diseases. Besides, smoking may cause life problems.

Smoking can break your relationships – Non-smokers prefer non-smoking partners because of some reasons. For one, they don’t want to let themselves in second-hand smoke. Non-smokers also hate the smell of cigarette, which usually stays in a smoker’s body even after they have washed their hands.

Smoking looks so out of style – The days of looking “cool” while lighting up a cigarette is long gone. Nowadays people are more educated on the risk of smoking. Still, a lot of people, especially young adults, think that lighting up a cigarette will make them appear better than their friends.

Smoking is more expensive than giving up smoking – You will be surprised to know how much you are actually spending on cigarettes. Do a quick online search for “smoking calculator” to find out. On the other hand, programs that will help you give up smoking will set you back just a couple of hundred dollars at most.

It’s not as hard as you may think to give up smoking – Every smoker will tell you that it’s hard to stop, in fact it’s not. They just don’t want to stop. If you put your mind and heart to it, with a little help from family and friends, you can stop that bad habit once and for all.

What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?

Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, few people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong light or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.

Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.

1.Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?

A. Because they can’t go outside.

B. Because they get less sunlight.

C. Because the weather is too cold.

D. Because the summer is too short.

2.How can sunlight change the way you feel?

A. On a sunny day, you can play outside.

B. Sunlight makes you less tired.

C. Sunlight increases your body temperature.

D. Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.

3.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A. It is better to live in the south.

B. Southern people feel much happier.

C. More sunlight can make us happier.

D. Northern people often feel unhappy.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Why Is Sunlight Good For You?

B. How Can Exercise Help You?

C. Ways to Feel Happier.

D. Functions (功能) of Exercising More.

Have you ever heard of Stonehenge( 巨石陣 )? These ancient huge stones have been standing on the Salisbury Plains(索爾茲伯平原 ) in England for thousands of years. Who build Stonehenge? Some people said that the ancient Greeks built it. Some people said that it was a site where UFO landed. It’s still a mystery.

However, it is clear that the first stones arrived at Stonehenge around the same time as the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids. These stones can only be found in South Wales, nearly 150 miles away. It was a huge job to move these stones far from Wales because originally there were about 80 of them here at Stonehenge. And each of the stone weighs about forty tons. To move one of these forty-ton stones, we need at least 150 people.

However, building Stonehenge was much more difficult. It is not just simply one stone piled on to top of another, they’re joined together.

Though many of the stones have fallen, Stonehenge still attracts nearly five thousand tourists every day. And after nearly 5000 years Stonehenge is still standing. It is sure that Stonehenge has something to do with the summer and winter solstices (夏至日/冬至日). Nature may well know all the answers, but science has yet to prove its theories. It seems Stonehenge isn’t ready to tell all its secrets yet.

1.How did ancient people move these huge stones to the plain?

A. By air. B. By ship. C. By labor D. Unknown

2.Which of the following statement is true?

A. The scientists have already solved all the problems about Stonehenge.

B. It is easier to build Stonehenge than to transport there huge stones.

C. Some aliens build Stonehenge as a site to land their UFO.

D. Stonehenge showed the summer and winter solstices to ancient people.

3.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. An Egyptian Mystery. B. The Building of Stonehenge.

C. Answer of Nature. D. Stonehenge—An Ancient Secret.

During the May Day holiday, _____ visitors came to visit the Memorial Hall of Flying Tigers.

A. thousand of B. thousand C. thousands D. thousands of

D 【解析】句意：五一長假期間，有數以千計的游客前來參觀飛虎紀念館。thousands of是固定結構，意為“數以千計的”，表示不確切的數目；A與B是明顯錯項，故選D。

--What do you think of the environment here, Mr. Wang?

--Wonderful! of the land covered with trees and grass．

A. Two fifths; is B. Two fifth; is C. Two fifths; are D. Two fifth; are

A 【解析】句意：——你認為這里的環(huán)境怎么樣？——棒極了！五分之二的陸地被樹木和草所覆蓋。根據選項可知，第一個空所缺的詞為分數；分數的表達法為分子基數詞，分母序數詞，分子大于1，分母加s，所以五分之二的表達方法為two fifths，排除B,D；分數后面的名詞為land，又知land意為“陸地，土地”，為不可數名詞，根據主謂一致的原則，所以第二個空缺處應用is，故答案選A。
