          In 1988, Mary Andersen was at the Miami airport checking in for a flight to Norway to be with her
    husband when she was told she wouldn't be able to check her luggage without paying a $ 100 surcharge
    (超载).
         Mary had no money as her new husband had left for Norway and she had no one else to call. 
        "I was completely desperate and tried to think which of my things I could manage without." says
    Mary.
         As tears ran down her face, a voice behind her said,"That's okay, I'll pay for her."
          Rather surprised, Mary turned around to see a tall man whom she had never seen before. He had a
    gentle and kind voice mat was firm and decisive.
         Although this happened twenty years ago, Mary still remembers the authority that radiated (发出)from
    the man, Mary was pleased to bring her luggage to Norway and told the stranger she would give his money
    back. The man wrote his name and address on a piece of paper he gave to Mary. She thanked him repeatedly
    When she finally walked off towards the boarding gate, he waved goodbye to her.
         That man turned out to be Barack Obama.
         Mary paid the money back to Obama the day she joined her husband. At that time he had just finished
    his job as a poorly paid community worker in Chicago, and had started his law studies at Harvard University.
         In the spring of 2006 Mary's parents heard Obama was considering a run for president. They wrote a
    letter saying that they would support him. At the same time, they thanked Obama for helping their daughter
    18 years earlier.
         And Obama replied," I want to thank you for the lovely things you wrote about me and for reminding
    me of what happened at Miami airport. I'm happy I could help her then, and I'm delighted to hear that your
    daughter is happy in Norway. Please send her my best wishes. Sincerely, Barack Obama, United States
    Senator."

         Positive thinkers admit when they feel frustrated (受挫折的) or depressed, they don't ignore it.
    But they don't blame themselves either. Instead, they try to understand the negative thoughts and
    feelings and counter (反击) them with more positive ones.
         So how do you stay positive, maintain motivated and sustain (保持) healthy behaviors? Here are
    some tips:
         Look for a good role model. There is always someone who seems to be doing just what you want
    to be doing. Maybe they've scheduled exercise into their workday and switched from coffee to green tea.
    Learn from a successful friend, family member or colleague. Ask them how they keep healthy and follow
    in their footsteps.
         Try some positive self-talk and avoid negative-talk. Take a minute to give yourself an ego boost. Repeat
    some motivational words out loud to yourself. Negative talk such as"I can't do it," "I'm fat," is dangerous
    for your well-being and healthy goals. Try to avoid the negative self-talk before it harms you. Remind
    yourself that you deserve happiness and can make positive changes.
         Get support. Tell your friends and family about your healthy habits. It helps to have an encouraging
    network.  
         Reward yourself. Treat yourself to something for your healthy efforts. Take a nice bath, get a massage,
    and enjoy a new DVD or CD.
         Have a plan. Making a plan to exercise or eat healthy lunches with a friend can mean the difference of
    sticking with your goals or falling off track. If you've planned for an activity, you'll likely stick with it.
    You may even find that writing down your goals and steps to achieve them can help you stay on track.
    Take it day by day or week by week. The process of writing down your personal action plan is a good
    way to keep you honest and watch your progress or failures.
    1. By writing the text the author intends to _______.
    A. offer some advice on how to stay positive
    B. persuade readers to learn from a role model
    C. provide some solutions to personal problems
    D. inform readers of some tips on physical health
    2. What does the phrase "to give yourself an ego boost" in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A. to get lost in deep thought.
    B. to think about the hardships.
    C. to check what mistake you made.
    D. to make you feel better about yourself.
    3.Which of the following would the author Not agree to?
    A. Saying some positive words to yourself helps you to feel good.
    B. By staying with your companion you can avoid the negative-talk.
    C. A successful friend, relative or colleague can be your role model.
    D. Creating a helpful network is a good way to keep you motivated.
    4.To make sure that you always stay on track, what should you do?
    A. Eat out with your best friends.
    B. Relax yourself after a hard day. 
    C. Write down what you want to achieve
    D. Modify your plans as often as you can.

         British potato farmers were taking to the streets to call for the expression "couch potato" to be taken
    away from the dictionary on the grounds that it harms the vegetable's image.
         The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) to replace the expression with
    the term "couch slouch", with protests planned outside parliament in London and the offices of Oxford
    University Press. Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4,000 growers
    and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response.
         "We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad to you," she said Monday.
         "The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary's fault
    but we want to use another term than couch potato because potatoes are naturally healthy."
         The OED says "couch potato" originated as American slang, meaning"a person who spends leisure
    time passively or idly sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes."
         John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term
    "couch potato" in 1993 and said"dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses."
         Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000
    words contained in 20 volumes. But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make
    way for newer ones.
          "If society stops using words, then they are taken out of the smaller dictionaries", he added. "The first
    known recorded use of the expression 'couch potato' was in a 1979 Log Angeles Times article," Simpson
    said.
         Nigel Evans, a member of parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support
    of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.
    1. British potato farmers were taking to the streets ____.
    A. to advertise their production
    B. to call for a higher price for t heir potatoes
    C. to remove the expression "couch potato" from the dictionary
    D. to let people know how important the potato is in people's lives
    2.The farmers think that ____.
    A. potatoes have had a bad imagine
    B. potatoes are good for people by nature
    C. potatoes sometimes do harm to people
    D. it's the dictionary's fault to use the expression "couch potato"
    3. John Simpson thinks that ____.
    A. he expression can be taken out of every kind of dictionary
    B. dictionaries do not necessarily reflect the words the society uses
    C. little used words can remain in the smaller dictionaries
    D. it is impossible to take the word out of the dictionary
    4. What is wrong with the expression "couch potato"?
    A. It is connected with unfavorable meaning.
    B. Potato should be used in the expression.
    C. It is borrowed from American English.
    D. It refers to a kind of person.

         TOKYO-Imagine a bicycle seat connected by mechanical frames (机械支架) to a pair of shoes for
    an idea of how the new wearable assisted-walking machine from Honda works.
         The experimental machine, showed on Friday, is designed to support bodyweight, reduce stress on
    the knees and help people organize steps and stay in crouching (蹲坐) positions.Honda showed a video
    of its employees wearing the machine.
         Engineer Jun Ashihara also said the machine is useful for people standing in long lines and to people
    who run around to make deliveries.
         "This should be as easy to use as a bicycle," Ashihara said. "It reduces stress, and you should feel
    less tired."   
         To wear it, you put the seat between your legs, put on the shoes and push the "on" button.Then just
    start walking around.
         In a test run for media, this reporter found it does take some time to get used to the machine. "I
    could sense how it supported my moves, pushing up on my bottom when I crouched and pushing at my
    soles (脚底) to help lift my legs when I walked," he said.
         The system has a computer, a motor, gears (齿轮), batteries and sensors in it, so it responds to a
    person's movements, according to Honda Motor Co.
         Pricing and commercial product plans are still undecided. Japan's No.2 automaker will begin testing
    a prototype (模型) later this month.
         The need for such mechanical help is expected to grow in Japan, which has one of the most rapidly
    aging societies in the world.
         Other companies are also eyeing the potentially attractive market of helping the weak and the old get
    around. Japan is among the world's leading nations in robotics technology, not only for industrial use but
    also for entertainment and companionship.
    1. Honda's new wearable assisted-walking machine is mainly to _____.
    A. show Honda's power in technology
    B. protect the environment
    C. meet the social needs in the future
    D. improve social progress
    2. According to the passage, the power of the new wearable assisted-walking machine is from _____.
    A. manpower
    B. batteries
    C. a computer
    D. the machine movement
    3. It can be learned from the passage that _____.
    A. the new machine has been produced m large numbers
    B. Honda will control the future market for the new machine
    C. the price of Honda's new machine will be very low
    D. the future market for the new machine will be promising
    4. What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Wearable machine that helps walk
    B. Hondo's new bicycle for the old
    C. Wearable machine helps go to work
    D. New development of the bicycle

         To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly
    and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public
    Library of Science Medicine Journal.
         After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about
    1993-2007, Kay-Tee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who
    adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.
         "We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this
    benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council."The
    benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from."
         Study participants (参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five
    servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
         Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping
    people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific
    changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours
    would surely gain 14 years.
         "We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things," said Doctor Tim Armstrong,
    a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization." The 14 years is an average across the
    population of what's theoretically (理论上) possible."
         "Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them", Susan
    Jebb said,"We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change."
    1. Which of the following doesn't belong to the four healthy habits?
    A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
    B. Doing proper exercise in the morning every day.
    C. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.
    D. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.
    2. We can learn from the passage that _____.
    A. the study observed people as well as tested specific changes
    B. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study
    C. there is no need for people under 45 adopt these good habits
    D. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviours
    3. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.
    B. People aged 45-79 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.
    C. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.

         Did you enjoy yourself yesterday? I suppose you do. But I'd
    like to tell you what a bad day I had yesterday. Nothing
    just went wrong. On the morning, my alarm clock didn't ring,
    since I woke up an hour late. I was in such a hurry that I burnt my
    hand when I was cooking the breakfast. Then I ran out of the house
    to catch the 8:30 buses. This is the bus I usually take. But, you
    may laugh, I missed it of course. I am very unhappy, and scared
    as well because teacher hates the students coming late to school.
    So I ran three miles to school only to discover that anybody
    was there. The school was quiet but peaceful. Our classroom was
    locked. I realized that moment. It was Sunday.
