Young children from poor families are more likely to consume junk food and fizzy drinks(汽水) than their richer companions. A study of 1,800 four- and five-year-olds found more than half of those from poor backgrounds drank at least one a week, compared to just four in ten oofy kids. They also drank less milk and consumed more fruit juice which is also linked to child obesity (肥胖) caused by high sugar intake(攝取量).

The phenomenon also relates to children who spend more than two hours a day in front of a TV or playing computer games—whatever their social circumstances. A companion study also found children from poor families were more likely to eat chips, sweets and chocolate. Professor Kate Storey said, “when you are looking at that age group, and such a large percentage of very young kids in the study are consuming a large amount of soda(蘇打汽水)，it is quite concerning. ”

The researchers carried out the study by surveying the parents of their participants to find out their dietary habits. Professor Storey said, “If you are drinking a lot of soda and fruit juice, they can displace(取代)consumption of water and milk, which are important not just for ending thirst, but for developing healthy bones and teeth, and health and wellness in general.”

Co-researcher Dr John Spence said, “Dietary behavior and intake patterns are influenced heavily by what happens in the first few years with children, and they maintain those patterns throughout childhood and into adolescence(青少年時(shí)期).” In addition to basic health education, this study identifies a need in how we are dealing with poverty and recognizing there is more to poverty than simply the number of dollars people have.

Professor Storey said that shows how education can make a difference and lead to healthier eating habits, regardless of what is happening at home. “Many families live in places that might not be very healthy for them and, as a result, they make unhealthy food choices. You can start making a difference in different places. It calls for action in multiple settings, schools and communities, for example. That light-bulb moment can happen in a variety of places,” Professor Storey added.

1.What does the underlined word “oofy” mean in Para.1?

A. Wealthy. B. Healthy. C. Fat D. Weak.

2.According to the passage, Professor Storey thinks it helpful for children ______.

A. to drink more coffee B. to drink more milk

3. According to Dr John Spence, children’s habits in the early stage of life can even affect _____.

A. their attitude towards life

B. their living patterns of youth

C. health in their old age

D. living quality of all their life

4.Professor Storey considers that healthier eating habits can be _____.

A. finally determined by parents’ life habits

B. gently changed by parents’ life habits

C. suddenly changed by family situation

D. gradually changed by education

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Young people like eating junk food.

B. Junk food is bad for both young children and adults.

C. Children from poor families are more likely to eat junk food.

D. Junk food causes more and more children to become overweight.

We all face quantities of stresses in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between. 1. Here's how stress can help us on an everyday basis.

◆ Sharpen your memory.

Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve? Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere? 2. It's because of stress hormones（荷爾蒙）that increase your alertness(機(jī)敏) when it's most needed.

◆ 3.

Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines? Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.

◆ Helping you resist the attack of illness.

4. Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body's defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.

◆ Making your life more interesting.

Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 5.

A. Helping you get an advantage at work.

B. Helping you get through difficult times.

C. This will happen whenever you are stressed.

D. That's one way your brain responds to stress.

E. You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.

F. But they're the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.

G. But handled properly, stress can have many benefits for the body and mind.

More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it's likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.

Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.

In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (濃度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.

The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.” Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.

1.The passage is mainly about _____.

A. the popularity of sweet coffee.

B. an experiment made in Oxford.

C. the effect of cup color on coffee's taste

D. useful tips on how to make coffee.

2. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?

A. A white cup. B. A blue cup.

C. A transparent cup D. A brown cup

3. Café owners should consider their cups' color in order to ______.

A. reduce the daily expenses

B. show their taste in coffee

C. appeal to more customers

D. make their café different.

4.We learn from the passage that_____.

A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glass

B. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.

C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.

D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年遼寧大連第二十高級(jí)中學(xué)高二上學(xué)期期末英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building．

She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill．“I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school．”

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p．m．till 6 a．m．five nights a week for just ￡ 90, before tax and insurance．“It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra．”

The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband．However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship．

Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either．“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs．If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful．”

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all．Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three．“Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself－and I usually do, together with the other girls．We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags．”

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living．“They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret．“I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more．I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it．”

1.Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______

A．she wanted to earn more money to support her family

B．she had suffered a lot of mental pressure

C．she needed the right time to look after her children

D．she felt tired of taking care of patients

2.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ______

A．they never clean their offices

B．they look down upon cleaners

C．they never do their work carefully

D．they always make a mess in their offices

3.When at work, Margaret feels ______

A．light-hearted because of her fellow workers

B．happy because the building is fully lit

C．tired because of the heavy workload

D．bored because time passes slowly

4.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _____ ．

A．help care for her children

B．regret what they had said

C．show sympathy for her

D．feel disappointed with her
