【題目】Since last March, I have been visiting a pet clinic because of my cat Eddie. The clinic is in northern Massachusetts, about two hours from our home on Cape Cod. I expected it would be terrible depressing but it’s just the opposite. I have been so surprised at what I have learned there.

Now I believe happiness is something to love in any form. If I’ve ever know an angel, it is Keri, Eddie’s technician. Both Eddie and I are under her loving care. She gives Eddie his medicines.She gives me emotional guidance as well.

I can offer tell when it’s someone’s first visit. They’re usually crying. I think the reason why the rest of us don’t cry has nothing to do with hope. I think it has to do with another ingredient of happiness. When we think about our pet’s distant future, even if they’re healthy, w will feel sad. Keri, in her prayerful voice says, “Focus on loving Eddie right now.” “Right now” is the only way people think at he clinic.

Instant connection is what happens in the waiting room. We join together to tenderly life a lame dog. We take turns distracting a cat with sparkly toys so she doesn’t chew her bandage. Nobody asks for help. Everybody offers. We just do it.

When the end of life is very near, owners often believe their pet’s happiness is more important than something like a strict diet. A young fellow whose pet dog suffers from canner says, “He can have anything he wants now.” So I guess an element of happiness is not so much the length of a life but the joy and peace that life contains.

At this place, the focus is not on dying, and it’s not on living. The focus, for pets and for people, is on living happily.

【1】What does Keri stress most according to Paragraph 3?

A. Living is happy.

B. Time is precious.

C. Hope is certain.

D. Love is everything.

【2】What does instant connection in the waiting area wean?

A. They live in harmony.

B. They help each other.

C. They are full of love.

D. They ask for help.

【3】Why does a young fellow have his pet eat anything it wants?

A. He wants his pet to gain weight.

B. He likes to do whatever he wants.

C. An Lovely Angel of a Pet Clinic.

D. The Ingredients of Happiness.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】本文通過講述了作者在寵物店里的親身經(jīng)歷，感受到了活著就是快樂的，對(duì)于寵物和人們來說，關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)應(yīng)該是快樂的生活。

【題目】閱讀理解
Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more healthily and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.
Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so-called "plastic" fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients(營養(yǎng)成分) in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.
While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction. They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.
The current wave of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classed, printing booklet articles and so on, to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet, of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to "diet addiction".
（1）These days people are dieting more because.
A.they have become fatter and fatter
B.they have realized the danger of eating
C.they have became more health conscious
D.they have taken better care of themselves
（2）“They look like skeletons” in the third paragraph most probably means.
A.they are very pretty
B.they are very ugly
C.they are too thin
D.they are starving
（3）The main idea the last paragraph is about.
A.how the organizations try to help people with dieting addiction
B.what kind of mediums can be used to educate the public
C.where people with dieting addiction can go to ask for help
D.what causes the organizations to begin educating the public
（4）According to this passage, we can infer that the atmosphere of eating has something to do with.
A.Dieting
B.Manners
C.Health
D.exercising

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(醫(yī)學(xué)界)a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt(remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. Asresult, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even(bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food(be) full of fat and salt; by(eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃點(diǎn)心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both,is not good for the health.

The study found fat teens were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Overweight girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls.
“There's always room for improvement,” said health expert Tala.She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Let's Move, which was launched by First Lady Michelle Obama.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
By May, after three months, I had lost22pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight?” Those compliments made me feel good and confident.
Soon I dropped to110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting, because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present—— a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mother would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.
By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Was it worthwhile to be thin?
Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.
（1）The underlined word “compliments” in Paragraph 1 probably means_____.
A.questions
B.praise
C.understanding
D.experiences
（2）Why did the author's mother come to her room in tears?
A.Because the mother was worried about her daughter's health.
B.Because the mother thought her daughter was brave enough.
C.Because the mother was sorry to have helped her daughter go on a diet.
D.Because the mother was deeply moved by her daughter's friends.
（3）The author decided to stop dieting_______.
A.after her parents persuaded her out of it
B.when her weight dropped to 95 pounds
C.after she reached her goal of losing weight
D.after her friends told her to stop dieting
