Michelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity(肥胖)with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat.Clearly,childhood obesity must be solved urgently.But is it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets?
Studies show that the more children diet,the more likely they are to become obese as adults.
Research also shows that gifts are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes to eating habits and body image.
This was the case for Carly,40,who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight.“My mother was on a diet the whole time I was growing up,”she says.“And she put me on my first diet when I was 10.I lost puppy fat,gained her approval and never ate normally again.” 
America’s First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to convey.But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha? Could they develop eating disorders because of it?
“It’s wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters’eating disorders,”says Susan Ringwood,chief executive of the eating disorders charity,Beat.“There is a genetic(基因的)component to eating disorders.However,“We do know that parents have a very strong influence over a child’s eating.It's important to realize that you are your daughter’s role model.Girls idolize their mothers.”says Ringwood.
“No food should ever be‘good’ or‘bad’,” Ringwood says.Instead,“You have to make it clear that food is a sociable,healthy and fun part of life,not something to be feared.”
“Talk to her about body image,”Ringwood says.“Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman.Show her that anorexic(厭食的)fashion models are not sexy,but ill.The pressure on girls today is immense,”she says.“But don’t forget that you are the authoritative voice,too.”
66.Michelle Obama has started a campaign to_________.
A.solve childhood obesity across the country    B.a(chǎn)ttract the attention of the world

A.mothers have a great influence on girls’ eating habits

My neighbor Peter Gate’s life was shadowed for years by the memory of his part in an outdoor adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates. He and his wife 21 after six years of marriage. Then the news about Peter changed. His wife Betty came back; he 22 a fine position in a company.
One day he told me what had changed his 23 : I used to think, ‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt(罪惡感) would 24 me in the middle of a smile or a handshake. It put a wall between my wife and me. Then I had an 25 visit from the person I 26 most to see —the 27 of the college classmate who died. “Years ago”, she said, “I found it in my heart, through prayer(祈禱), to28 you. Betty forgave you. So did your friends and employers.” She 29, and then said 30, “You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Peter Gate. Who do you think you are to 31 the people of this town and God ?”  “I 32 her eyes and found there a kind of 33 to be the person I might have been if her son had lived. For the first time in my adult life I felt 34 to love and be loved.”
So, you see, it is only through forgiveness of our 35 that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean 36  that they exist. 37 , it means 38 them honestly, realistically. 39 you forgive, you cannot love. And without 40, life has no meaning. Forgiveness is a good quality.

A
John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl with a rose whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin. The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.                                        
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
41. John was eager to know the former owner of the book because he______.
A. was very interested in the contents of the book
B. was impressed by the notes written by its owner
C. wanted to improve his handwriting
D. wanted to discuss the book with her
42. What happened to John after getting in touch with Miss Hollis Maynell?
A. He served in the army abroad.             B. He went overseas for vacation.
C. He went on a business trip in New York.      D. He visited Miss Maynell.
43. What do we know about the woman with a rose?
A. She was Miss Maynell’s close friend.   B. She was a waitress in the big restaurant.
C. She was probably a passerby.         D. She was paid to meet John at the Station.
44. Which would be the best title of the text?
A. An Interesting Book                              B. A Woman With a Rose
C. A Brave Soldier                            D. A Love Test

Our 16-year-old daughter started to smoke last Christmas. It killed me to see that lovely girl with a cigarette(香煙) in her mouth. I told her how I felt. Martha continued to smoke(抽煙), saying, “It's my life,” and so on. I told her if she didn't stop smoking, I wouldn't send her to college. She agreed to give it up.
Last night there was cigarette smell on Martha's breath(呼吸). She had to say she had broken her word. Now I must do what I've said to punish(懲罰) her.
Martha is unusually bright and wants to teach children. I'm working full-time to put her older sister through school and would do the same for Martha. My husband's pay is good, but with prices going up all the time we could never educate the girls unless I kept on working.

Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3. Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
“I’m very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (附屬的) to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”
Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It’s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China’s development over the next 10 years, said experts. The World Expo is known as “Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields.” It is usually held every five years and lasts for six months. The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world.
China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event’s about 159-year history. Not only will it attract more foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.
The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital.Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their first appearance at a World Expo.
48. What does the word in bald “rivals” probably mean in the second paragraph?
A. competitors.        B. enemies.         C. players.          D. supporters.
49. The winning of bidding for the World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Olympic Games implies ______.

B. China has played the most important role in the international affairs.
C. China has become a developed country for many years.
D. China is the first Asian country to win the expo bid in history.
50. As we know, in general, the Word Expo is usually held every ______ years, while the Olympics is usually held every ______ years.
A. 4;5          B. 5;4         C. 4;4               D. 5;5
51. By bidding for the expo and the Olympics, we are sure that ______.
A. China will beat rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea
B. China will become a super country in the United Nations

B
For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.
“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(聽診器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, it’s easy to take people in,” he said.
One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her.
“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”
Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was. “ shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.
“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科醫(yī)生)who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.
5. York was proud of the fact that ___________.
A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.
B. he could perform some duties of a doctor.
C. he had cheated doctors for so long
D. people thought he could become a real doctor
6. York learned how to behave like a doctor by __________.
A. watching other doctors work             B. talking to doctors and nurses
C. getting some training and experience         D. observing doctors while he was a patient
7. Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?
A. She had swallowed something and almost died.
B. She had to have and emergency operation.
C. She had been injured in a road accident.
D. She had lost consciousness while driving.
8. The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he _________.
A. pretended to be a psychiatrist            B. tried to get away from prison
C. was proud of what he had done     D. studied the behaviour of the psychiatrist

It was midnight in Paris and we were rolling toward Avenue Bosguet. As we came to the Pont Alexandra Ⅲ, the taxi slowed down, for the traffic light was red against us, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself, breaking the law and endangering your life that way ,” I protested.
He looked at me, astonished. “Ashamed of myself? I am a law abiding(守法的)citizen and have no desire to get killed either.” He cut me off before I could protest.
“No, just listen to me before you complain .What did I do? Went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?”
“Certainly,” I replied. “It’s a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.”
“Half-right,” said the driver, “but incomplete. It’s only an automatic stop signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. Did you see any cross traffic during our trip? Of course not. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the street at this hour. Well, then! What would you have me do? Should I stop like a stupid animal because an automatic, brainless machine turns red every forty seconds? No, sir,” he shouted. “I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given me by God. Ashamed of myself, you say? I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamps do my thinking for me. Good night ,sir.”
Is this bad, is this good? Frankly I am no longer sure...
