Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected , When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制藥)，damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination (協(xié)調(diào))，slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link , driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration (濃度) is:
● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood ;or
● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath ;or
● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence(罪) or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK﹩25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (樣本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
【小題1】The first paragraph is mainly about_____________.

A．the introductions of driving skillsB．the damage of drinking to your body

Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises, according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.
Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice's belly by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body's nervous system. 
However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato" fellows.
Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose team’s findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, “I'm still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, “It's not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，“Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it's equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.”
【小題1】What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?

A．Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.
B．It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown.
C．Social excitement helps gain more weight.
D．Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.
【小題2】Which of the following statement does the text support?
A．Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.
B．The mice lacking social life lose more weight.
C．The research findings haven’t been published so far.
D．Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result.
【小題3】We can conclude from the text that_______.
A．the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment
B．a(chǎn) sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people’s social life
C．surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication
D．cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life
【小題4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Brown fat is beneficial to people’s health.
B．Socializing is unnecessarily important in people’s daily life.
C．White fat can be changed into brown fat.
D．Socializing contributes to people’s losing weight.

Different exercise types have different purposes and different benefits. One type of exercise may not accomplish all goals of being physically fit: a healthy heart, strong muscles and bones, and safety from injury. As a result, it is important to do enough types of exercise to have all the physical benefits. Here is a quick check sheet.
Aerobic Exercise: To have a strong and healthy heart, you need to do aerobic exercise. This means that you need to exercise yourself enough so that your heart rate, while exercising, is 65 percent to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. If you don’t get your heart rate up within this level—you just aren’t working hard enough. Whatever you do, your heart rate needs to be 65 percent to 85 percent of your MHR for 20 to 30 minutes, at least 3 times a week. Typical types include:
* Running
* Walking (at least 4 to 4.5 mph)
* Swimming
* Bikingk3s5u
* Elliptical Training (橢圓運(yùn)動)
* Yoga
Strength Training: To keep your muscles and bones strong, you need to do strength training. This comes in a variety of forms. Whatever you do, however, you need to train your muscles enough so that they are really tired by the end of each session. To see real benefits, make sure you are strength training 2 to 3 times a week for about 30 to 40 minutes. Typical types of strength training include:
* Weight Training
* Yoga
* Resistance Training
* Plyometrics（肌肉增強(qiáng)訓(xùn)練）
Flexibility Training: To keep your body flexible, reducing risk of injuries and pain in your joints and muscles, you need to do flexibility training. You should always aim to stretch every muscle after any exercise routine. Typical types of flexibility training include:
* Stretching
* Yoga
* Pilates（普拉提課程）
So next time you think that yoga 5 times a week will be enough, think about what it is really doing. Is it getting your heart rate up? Are you making up your strength? Are you keeping your muscles flexible?
【小題1】If your purpose is to _______, you can choose swimming as your exercise form.

A．build a strong and healthy heart
B．keep muscles and bones strong
C．keep body flexible
D．reduce risk of injuries and pain in joints and muscles
【小題2】After reading this passage, we know that ________.
A．Yoga is really better for people than running
B．The more exercise you do, the better
C．Flexibility training helps you build up your muscles
D．The three kinds of training have links with one another
【小題3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to “session” in Paragraph 3?
A．meetingB．gatheringC．periodD．term
【小題4】The paragraph following this article may discuss_______.
A．how to find a good workout dealing with two or three of these goals
B．how to choose an exercise type
C．how to build up our strength
D．how to be more flexible

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”
“Two full inches in the first three days!”
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food Drug Administration)can require proof (證明)under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action ,including seizure (查封) of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律訴訟), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
【小題1】It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.

A．objective B．costly C．unreliable D．illegal
【小題2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
【小題3】FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.
A．if it is a drug
B．if it is a device
C．if its consumers make complaints
D．if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority
【小題4】The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_______.
A．a(chǎn) product which was designed to produce electricity
B．a(chǎn) product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C．a(chǎn) successful advertisement of a beauty product
D．a(chǎn)n example of a quality beauty product
【小題5】 The author intends to __________
A．make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises
B．show the weakness of the law on product safety
C．give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D．introduce the organization of FDA

Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.
Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism  (新陳代謝) that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
To stop this vicious（惡性的）circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (使…中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
【小題1】What is the main purpose of this passage?

A．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.
B．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
C．To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
D．To warn people of the problem of obesity.
【小題2】It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.
A．it is essential for people to protect their vital organs
B．foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
C．we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
D．giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
【小題3】 Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.
A．destroy body’s cells B．a(chǎn)re difficult to digest
C．may lead to obesity D．stop body’s metabolism
【小題4】What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?
A．Active approaches to avoid acid.
B．Different causes of acid accumulation.
C．Correct ways to cook raw foods.
D．Suitable types of raw and whole foods.
【小題5】What can we learn from the text?
A．Processed foods are good for our appetite mechanism.
B．Eating the right types of raw and whole foods does good to our body.

One of the most striking findings of a recent questionnaire in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.
Why are many people finding it increasingly difficult to start and keep close relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves?
It is certainly the case today that nowadays couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesn’t expect his wife to be in sole (唯一的) charge of running his household and raising his children.
But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.
In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago，your choice of soul mate was limited by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never clear, many marriages were essentially arranged. Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster（牡蠣）, you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.
But it seems that the traditions have been replaced by an even tighter restriction：the limitation of choice. The expectations of partners are made greater to an unmanageable degree：good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and so on. There is no room for error in the first impression.
We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn’t，it is intended to be thrown away. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don’t put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Twelve-hour work at the office makes relaxed after-hours dating(約會) difficult. The cost of housing and child-raising creates pressure to have a stable(穩(wěn)定的) income and career before a life partnership.
【小題1】 Nowadays, in a family, _________.

A．men begin to depend on women
B．couples share the burdens
C．men are responsible for housework
D．couples can’t get along together
【小題2】 People don’t want to give up their independence because______.
A．they can’t bear arranged marriages
B．they want to have more choices
C．they don’t want to follow traditions
D．they think they can live happily alone
【小題3】 People don’t bother to date because_______.
A．it requires luck to build a strong relationship
B．it takes them too much energy to work
C．it needs faith to have a life partnership
D．it causes mental problems to find a life partner
【小題4】 Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage?
A．The expectations of partners and financial pressure may prevent a relationship.
B．People should spend more money on marriage today.
C．Independence is much more important than love.
D．Even a perfect marriage can be given up for the sake of independence.

Being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It's not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it's more importantly about being honest with yourself.
Living your life honestly means that you've decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in 'dark corners'. When you're dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually.
Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life's problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.
You'll have no doubt you have heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that's very true. If you don't live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you'll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it's therefore unavoidable that one day you'11 be on the receiving end of someone's dishonest actions or words.
There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can't go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn't going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it's often better to be economical with the truth. You might say that you don't know why John can't go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn't telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul's feelings on something that won't, after all, have strong influence on Paul's future.
【小題1】If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to______.

A．follow your destination
B．be true to yourself
C．plan your personal development
D．a(chǎn)ccept honest people as ends
【小題2】The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_____.
A．suffer from dishonesty
B．become very attractive
C．influence honest people
D．have attractive friends
【小題3】The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that______.
A．we should always tell the truth
B．John is not a trustworthy person
C．telling lies causes pain on someone else
D．sometimes we can't be completely honest
【小題4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．We should be economical with the truth.
B．People can gain from dishonesty.
C．Honesty helps you develop.
D．Trust produces confidence.

In the past, the affairs happening inside one country had little influence on other countries, even the neighboring ones. Therefore, incidents of food safety only affected and spread within one country, one city, one island or one village. However, with globalization, goods and products can almost flow freely between countries, regions, and continents. So the food safety problem is therefore no longer a national or regional issue, but rather a global one．
In 1997, Avian Influenza caused widespread panic in Hong Kong．It is said that the Avian Influenza originated from Shenzhen. Some Hong Kong people blamed the chicken farm staff on the mainland for the outbreak. The staff was accused of not thoroughly checking the health condition of the chicks under their care. It resulted in Hong Kong people's anger towards chicken farm staff in Shenzhen, whose supposed negligence(疏忽)contributed to the later spread of Avian Influenza in Hong Kong．
Worse still, in Germany, people have been warned not to eat cucumbers until tests can identify the source of a deadly E. coli outbreak. The scare has spread across Europe, with 16 people so far having been killed．In many people's minds, European countries have the strictest standards and checking procedures on their food safety. But the E. coli cucumber incident brought home the reality that it was not an effective defense against such an outbreak．
These diverse food safety issues from various parts of the world are enough evidence that food safety problem is not endemic in China. In fact, food safety is not even directly related to the development level of a place, thanks, no doubt, to the connectivity of our age. If we do not maintain our vigilance(警惕), people's confidence in food safety can be destroyed instantly—even in a developed country
【小題1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Nowadays, food safety incidents spread inside one country 
B．In 1997, Avian Influenza caused great fear in Hong Kong 
C．16 Germans died of deadly E. coli after eating cucumbers 
D．Food safety is only related to the developing countries 
【小題2】The underlined word "endemic" in the last paragraph most probably means "______"
A．serious B．common C．urgent D．unique 
【小題3】We can infer from the passage that ______
A．food safety problems spread from one country to another 
B．the staff of a Shenzhen chicken farm caught Avian Influenza 
C．the strictest standards protected European people from getting E. coli 
D．China is a country where food safety problem is related to people's age 
【小題4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Food Safety Problem Is a Global Issue 
B．Cucumbers Are Popular in European Countries 
C．Avian Influenza Originated from Shenzhen 
D．Food Safety Issues Are Various from Country to Country
