Lots of kids go through times when they’d like to change their hair. Often, it’s girls who are most concerned(關(guān)心的), but boys may be interested in how their hair looks, too. Sometimes hair will change as you get older----all by itself----when you go through puberty(青春期).
Maybe it used to be lighter and now it’s darker. Or maybe it’s oilier than it used to be, and now you need to wash it more. It’s also normal, as you’re getting older, to notice your appearance more often. You might suddenly decide you want a hairstyle like other kids at school have. But some styles and looks require chemical treatments and long hours in the chair at the hair salon. Some people dye(染)their hair a different color, get a bunch of braids(辮子),or make their hair straight when it’s curly(卷曲). Are these treatments OK for kids? That’s something you should discuss with your parents. At any age, any chemical or heat applied to(應(yīng)用于) the hair can damage the hair or cause it to break off.
Any styling that pulls hard on the hair can also hurt the scalp(頭皮) or cause hair loss. Styling tools, such as curling irons and straightening irons, get very hot and can cause burns. And chemicals used to color, curl, or straighten hair can be very harmful if they get into your eyes or onto your skin.
小題1:The word “kid”in this passage refers to ____________.
A.girlsB.boysC.studentsD.not only girls but also boys
小題2:Which of the following is NOT the cause of changes of one’s hair mentioned in the passage?
A.Change the hair style to act in a play.
B.It changes naturally with the age.
C.You want to make yourself look beautiful or cool.
D.A boy’s hair may become darker and darker when he gets older.
小題3:What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs of this passage?
A.If you want to change the color of your hair, you have to use chemical.
B.Hair can be straightened with an instrument.
C.You’d better change your hair with the help of your parents.
D.Hair change by chemicals or instruments can harm the hair or the scalp。

We all know that everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men’s minds decline more than women’s, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
General differences seem to be natural in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel be good at recalling information from their brain’s files. Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.
Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that may not have shown such cognitive(認(rèn)知的) decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following can NOT be typed into the same category?
A.cloudB.sheepC.treesD.goose
小題2:Which of the following statements is true according the article? _______
A.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
B.Women stand out at remembering people’s names.
C.Women do well in dealing mathematic problems.
D.Men excel at typing as many words as possible in the given time.
小題3:One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that ________.
A.women live longer than men
B.people surveyed are all old
C.the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline
D.people taking part in this test came from all over the world
小題4:The author aims to tell us that _________.
A.women’s minds perform better than men’s
B.men’s minds decline more with age
C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D.a(chǎn) survey on human’s mind decline was done recently

A little stress is good, since it helps you keep motivated to meet your goals. However, too much stress is bad for your health. Stress needs to be managed in order to prevent anxiety (焦慮). Here are some tips on how to manage stress.
Write it out
Write down everything that seems stressful, and ways to deal with each problem. You’ll find a things-to-do list much easier to manage than having all messed up in your head. Write down the tasks along with the specific times when you can do them.
One task at a time
Give each task all your attention while you’re doing it, and forget the rest. This will keep you from feeling anxious about things you have left to do. Thinking about other tasks only adds unnecessary stress, and can even stop you from doing the task you’re busy with at present. You don’t need to do everything all at once, or on your own. The feeling of being pressed to finish something on time will somehow disappear if someone is there to help you.
Give yourself a reward
Rewarding yourself for what you’ve already done, no matter how small, is a great way to motivate yourself to keep going. It will reduce stress, and make you happier to go on with the next task.
Give yourself a break
Breaks of ten to fifteen minutes are important. Visit a cafe or take a quick walk —anything to take your mind off the work for a while. If you need to stay at work, sit with your eyes closed and imagine a peaceful place or some other relaxing scenes. This will remove the stress from your muscles and mind.
小題1:The best title for the passage would probably be _____.
A.Stress Is Good or Not
B.How to Form Good Working Habits
C.Tips on How to Manage Stress
D.Ways to Keep Healthy
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.It’s better to plan a specific time to do the task.
B.It helps you stay motivated to think about the undone tasks.
C.It’s unnecessary for you to do all the tasks by yourself.
D.It helps if you put your attention to one task at a time.
小題3:Which of the following would the author agree?
A.The more stress you have, the more motivated you will be.
B.Writing down everything seems impossible.
C.Only reward yourself for your biggest achievements in your work.
D.It is necessary to have a break during your work.
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Stress is always bad for people.
B.Imagining a relaxing scene may help.
C.The best way to relax is by rewarding yourself.
D.Finishing tasks on time reduces stress.

 A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online. The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information.
Forty-four percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online. Another finding of the survey: Two-thirds of Internet users look online for information about a specific disease or medical condition.
The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems. Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition. It was more popular among people with more serious health issues—one in four people living with chronic diseases (慢性病). And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease. They are so eager to find other people online who share their health concerns.
A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than two hundred thousand people worldwide. The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone. Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other. Dr. Jeff Livingston operates a medical center for women in Irving, Texas. His office uses password-protected software to share information with patients.
“We provide the patient full access to their medical care. Anything I can see, the patient can see. All of their notes, all of their doctor visits are right there. All of their lab work is right there.” Dr. Livingston says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relations with patients.
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can know _________.
A.most online health information is reliable
B.more people now turn to the Internet for medical advice
C.people shouldn’t rely on the Internet for medical advice
D.doctors are no longer the patients’ first choice
小題2: The underlined words “off the charts” in Paragraph 3 mean _________.
A.very popularB.not accessibleC.far away fromD.not attractive
小題3: By using social networking, patients with rare diseases can _________.
A.find effective curesB.get emotional comfort
C.a(chǎn)sk for financial supportD.consult doctors anytime
小題4: Which of the following is NOT true of Dr. Livingston’s software?
A.It cuts down medical expenses.
B.It decreases the time spent on medical care.
C.It takes doctors closer to their patients.
D.It gives patients a medical test online.

Vitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets (佝僂病), mainly found in children. The thinning of bone is a common problem as people, especially women, get older.
But more and more research is suggesting that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases. The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The sun’s ultraviolet (紫外線的) rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. As a result they stay out of the sun. Also, darker-skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter-skinned people. The amount also decreases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.
Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D. Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish and fish liveroils (魚肝油). Farmed fish have only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild fish. Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. But most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from foods such as milk.
Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers. More doctors are now having their patients tested for their vitamin D levels. But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison. Also, skin doctors warn people to be careful with sun exposure because of the risk of skin cancer.
小題1:The first paragraph is mainly about     .
A.the muscle diseasesB.the sources of vitamins
C.the importance of healthD.the functions of vitamin D
小題2:Which of the following people produce the least amount of vitamin D?______
A.Elderly darker-skinned people.B.Young lighter-skinned people.
C.Elderly lighter-skinned people.D.Young darker-skinned people.
小題3: People can get the most vitamin D from     .
A.beef liverB.cheeseC.wild fishD.farmed fish
小題4:What can we infer from the text?_________
A. Being exposed to sunlight is the safest way to get vitamin D.
B. Lack of vitamin D can make people age quickly.
C. Proper vitamin D levels people need are still not determined now.
D. The vitamin D level is higher in men than in women.

For many years, I had a belief that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved,being special, and being cherished. We fantasize(幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小題1:The passage tries to highlight the importance of ________.
A.body size
B.a(chǎn)ttitudes toward life
C.culture difference
D.different beauty standards
小題2:What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.All the problems.B.All the properties.

小題3:What can be inferred about the author?
A.The author is a Samoan.
B.The author succeeded in losing weight.
C.The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.
D.The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
小題4:According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A.They feel angry about the regained weight.
B.They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C.They feel optimistic(樂觀的) about future plans on weight control.
D.They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
