I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party means: I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.” Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: Where are you going? And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s, a well-known department store.

For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.

1.What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Choice. B. Try. C. Style. D. Goal.

2.What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

A. There is a strange mix of people.

B. The restaurants are expensive.

C. The bill is not fairly shared.

D. People have to pay cash.

3.What does the author think of the parties in London?

A. A bit unusual. B. Full of tricks.

C. Less costly. D. More interesting.

4.What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?

A. Easy-going. B. Self-centred.

C. Generous. D. Conservative.

Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.

A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year –olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年輕人）may watch lots of TV.

Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.

In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.

While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms

1.According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.

A. have watched a lot of TV

B. not be interested in math

C. be unable to go to college

D. have had computers in their bedrooms

2.What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?

A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.

B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.

C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.

D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain

3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. More time should be spent on computers.

B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.

C. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms,

D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done

4.What would be the best title for this text?

A. Computers or Television

B. Effects of Television on Children

C. Studies on TV and College Education

D. Television and Children's Learning Habits

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock．According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．

Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers（慢跑者） and non-joggers for 12 years．The death rates（率） from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate(適合的) pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die．

The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour．The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers．The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(動脈)．Over time，this can cause serious injuries．

Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease（減少） risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy（策略）．Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful．”

The implications（含義） of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events，triathlons（三項全能） and long-distance running and cycling．According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher in the study，“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact（影響） on your health．And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”．

1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“___________”．

A．hard B．regular

C．practical D．flexible（靈活的）

2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________．

A．suggest giving up jogging

B．show risks of doing sports

C．provide supportive evidence（證據(jù)）

D．introduce the research process（過程）

3.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？

A．It may injure the heart and arteries．

B．It can make the body tired out．

C．It will bring much pressure．

D．It consumes too much energy．

4.What can be inferred from the text？

A．No exercise at all is the best choice．

B．More exercise means a healthier life．

C．Marathons runners are least likely to die．

D．Proper exercise contributes to good health．
