Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (壓力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?
小題1:Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?
A．His job.B．His pay.
C．His means of transport. D．His health.
小題2: According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?
A．He got higher pay.
B．His working hours weren’t long.
C．He found it very stressful.
D．He had little free time at weekends.
小題3:After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him _____.
A．not to work any longer
B．to take a long vacation abroad
C．to stop smoking and take exercise
D．not to eat out any more

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:C

試題分析：
小題1:D 推理題。根據(jù)文章第四段Two months ago I had a heart attack.說明因為工作的關(guān)系他現(xiàn)在的身體出了問題，患上了心臟病。故問題出在了健康方面，故D正確。
小題2:B 推理題。根據(jù)第二段第2行The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer.說明得到好的工作以后，他的工作時間也會變長，故B的說法是錯誤的。故B符合題意。
小題3:C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段2,3行The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.說明C正確。
點評：文章介紹了作者原來的工作很輕松有很多的時間去鍛煉身體，后來換了工作，壓力變大，工作時間變長，健康方面出了問題。以推理題的考查為主，解推斷題最主要的方法是根據(jù)詞義關(guān)系推斷具體細節(jié)。

Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn’t take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and do better at work as well. Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to have no breakfast.
If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白質(zhì)) and some fiber (纖維). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A．it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day
B．many adults are too busy to have breakfast every day
C．many adults go to work without having breakfast
D．many children go to school without breakfast
小題2:According to the passage, we feel tired at work probably because __.
A．we need to have a cup of coffee
B．we don’t have a good breakfast
C．our brains don’t work any longer
D．we don’t have enough sleep at night
小題3:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work.
B．Eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day.
C．Breakfast is really the most important meal in a day.
D．You will be happier if you have a good breakfast.
小題4:We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.
A．it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast
B．you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast
C．you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungry
D．you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfast

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?
Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on “Good Morning America” today to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.
Crazy Calorie Count
Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food- quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,00 calories in one day.
Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.
Snacking Secrets
Some athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day ,Glassman said.
Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the Us team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Classman said.
Foods for Recovery
What are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?
For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(養(yǎng)生法)that involves flipping tractor tires, and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.
小題1:What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Good Diet Makes a True Olympian.
B．Olympians Have Olympic-size Appetites.
C．The Diet of Some Top Olympic Athletes.
D．Olympians’ Strange Eating Habits.

B．Olympians eat a lot more food than ordinary people.
C．Olympians tend to eat a lot of high-quality food.
D．Olympians eat a large amount of food, just like pigs.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Ryan Lochte quit eating junk food , candy and soda for his better recovery.
B．Yohan Blake finally beat Usain Bolt in the 100-meter track in the Olympics.
C．Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance was due to his eating lots of food.
D．Jonathan Horton has a blood sugar problem because of taking too much honey.

Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child’s early as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life.
This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and “it is possible that good nutrition(營養(yǎng))during this period may encourage excellent brain growth”
Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of around 14,000 children born in 1991 and 1992 as part of the West Country’s Avon Longitudinal(縱向的)Study of Parents and Children(ALSPAC).
Parents were questioned about the types and frequency of the food and drink their children consumed when they were three, four, seven and eight and a half years old. According to their different changing form, these children were marked and given grades which ranged from minus two for the most healthy to 10 for the most unhealthy.
In the research, IQ was measured of 4,000 children when they were eight and half years old, using a validated(經(jīng)過認證的)test-the Wechsler Intelligence Scale(韋氏兒童智力量表)for Children.
The results found after taking account of some influential factors, a leading processed food diet at the age of three was associated with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, whether the diet was improved after that age.
Every 1 point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a 1.67 fall in IQ.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a  16  rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew  17 I wanted to climb it.

For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers. They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet need a real pounding（追擊）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
小題1:From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.
A．jogging became very popular
B．people jogged only during the daytime
C．Alex organized an army of joggers
D．jogging provided a chance to get together
小題2:The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.
A．heart attacksB．Back problems
C．famous joggersD．physical weaknesses
小題3:What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?
A．He felt it was worth a try.
B．He was very fond of it.
C．He was strongly against it.
D．He thought it must be painful.
小題4:Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?
A．He disliked doing exercise outside.
B．He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C．He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D．He was worried about being left alone.
小題5: From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.
A．not everyone enjoys jogging
B．he is the only person who hates jogging
C．nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D．jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.

How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病) . Believing my career (職業(yè)生涯)was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it----the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. “Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kirsten Best
Poet ＆ Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool.”
小題1:What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?
A．Difficulties influenced his career.
B．Specialists offered him medical advice.
C．Training helped him defeat his disease.
D．He overcame the shadow of illness to win.
小題2:What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary?
A．Her training schedule.
B．Her daily happenings.
C．Her achievements.
D．Her sports career.

Health experts are calling for action to expand cancer care and control in the developing world. A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer aggressively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.
Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.
They discover cancer dills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核) and malaria (瘧疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.
Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the authors of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.
Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”
Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.
小題1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countries
B．What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?
C．What makes the first killer in developing countries?
D．Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer in poor countries.
小題2:Felicia Knaul’s experience in Mexico shows that       .
A．many Mexican women suffer from breast cancer
B．there is not enough medicine for cancer there
C．many Mexican women can’t afford medical care
D．patients with breast cancer are treated differently
小題3:From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that       .
A．breast cancer is a great threat to young women
B．people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancer
C．breast cancer is the second killer among women in Mexico
D．effective treatment for breast cancer is available in developing countries
小題4:Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?
A．The cancer patients.
B．The health experts.
C．Community health workers.
D．Young women.
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The number of cancer cases is decreasing.
B．HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.
C．Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.
D．It is very expensive to treat cancer.
