         A middle-aged stranger visited us late on a dark rainy night when my father was working the night shift
    (a job for a period during the night). The stranger asked if he could wait under the eaves of our roof for the
    rain to stop. Then he disappeared, and we started hearing footsteps and creaking boards in the attic (the space
    or room at the top of a building, under the roof, often used for storing things). Was the stranger inside our
    house? My whole body couldn't help but stiffen. In my mind's eye, I could imagine the stranger pushing
    through the attic door and approaching US.
         We immediately called Jerry, our neighbor, for help. He searched everywhere, but the visitor was nowhere
    to be found. As Jerry looked in the garage, he found the stranger lying underneath the car. Jerry exclaimed
    with fright, "You are not allowed to enter the house. Get off the property right now."
         We were determined to leave the house immediately. As we drove away, we saw the man blocking our
    way on the road and staring at us. We had to change the direction to avoid meeting him. After that, I never
    saw the stranger again.

         Four common bad habits combined-smoking, drinking too much, inactivity and poor diet- can age you
    by 12 years, sobering new research suggests.
         The findings are from study that tracked nearly 5 000 British adults for 20 years, and they highlight yet
    another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
         Overall, 300 people studied had all four unhealthy behaviors. Among them, 90 died during the study, or
    30 percent. Among the 400 healthiest people with none of the four habits, 8 percent of them died.
         The risk behaviors were., smoking tobacco; drowning more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men
    and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating
    fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily.
         These habits combined substantially increased the risk of death and made people who engaged in them
    seem 12 years older than people in the healthiest group, said lead researcher Elisabeth Kvaavik of the
    University of Oslo.
         The healthiest group included never-smokers and those who had quit; women who had fewer than two
    drinks daily and men who had fewer than three; those who got at least two hours of physical activity weekly;
    and those who ate fruits and vegetables at least three times daily.
         "You don't need to be extreme" to be in the healthy category, Kvaavik said. "These behaviors add up, so
    together it's quite good. It should be possible for most people to manage to do it."
         The US government generally recommends at least 4 cups of fruits or vegetables daily for adults,
    depending on age and activity level, and about 2 hours of exercise weekly.
    1. What problem may you have, if you smoke often and eat few fruits and vegetables?
    A. You would have difficulty in walking.
    B. You would feel tired, lack of energy.
    C. You may look older than you really are.
    D. You may face the risk of death of cancer.
    2. How many of the 400 healthiest people with none of the four habits died?
    A. 32.
    B. 24.
    C. 56.
    D. 120.
    3. What does this text mainly talk about?
    A. Suggestions to smokers.
    B. The results of four bad life habits.
    C. The findings of a new research.
    D. The recommends from the US government.

         What kind of life do you seek for? One that is frustrating and full of complaints every day? Or one that
    is filled with thankfulness, gratefulness and a positive mind?
         The moment we open our eyes each day, we should be grateful that we are still alive. We are given a
    brand-new day. We are given another day to love. We are given another day of hope. We are given another
    chance to do whatever we have failed to accomplish. Those who have chosen to leave this place do not have
    any second chance.
         We should be grateful every day. By being grateful, we will treasure the things around us. We will learn
    to appreciate life in a better way. Treat others better and find ourselves in a better mood every day. When
    we are thankful and grateful for the things we have, the universe tends to give us more.
         By being thankful and grateful for our personal health, we will focus our attention on it and we would
    want to have a better well-being for our health. We will want to eat healthier food to nourish our body. After
    all, the body is the temple of our soul. We have to treat it well so that it can carry us a longer journey in life.
         When we face problems in life, be thankful and grateful too. They are designed specificall for us so that
    we will be stronger and wiser. We are like a strong oak tree, facing the harsh weathers time to time. After
    each storm, we will grow stronger and strengthen our foundations for the next harsh weather.
         The year 2010 has come to an end. Have you achieved what you aimed for in the past year? Be grateful
    for those you have achieved and especially for those you have not-both successes and failures. Failures and
    mistakes will give you valuable lessons. So, pick yourself up and try again this year. Good luck!

         Alaskan black bears hibernate for up to seven months a year, during which time they do not eat or drink,
    before waking up in virtually the same physical state they fell asleep in.
         Now experts hope to develop methods of putting humans into a similar state which could help astronauts
    survive long missions and lead to new ways of treating severely ill patients.
         While many studies have examined hibernation in mice and hedgehogs, little research has been done into
    the same condition in larger mammals such as bears.
         But new research conducted at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska monitored the
    animals' body temperature, heart rate and muscle movements while they slept.
         The research results showed that during a five-month hibernation the bears' body temperatures varied
    between 30~C and 36℃ in cycles that lasted between two and seven days-a pattern that was previously
    unknown in hibernating animals.
         The research project leader said, "If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic (新陈
    代谢的) rates and oxygen demands in human tissues, one could possibly save severely ill patients. We simply
    need to know how to turn things on and off to take advantage of the different levels of hibernations."
         Craig Heller, of Stanford University, who contributed to the study, added, "There has always been a thought
    that, if there is ever long-distance space travel, it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower
    metabolism or a state of hibernation. That's almost science fiction but you can see the logical basis."
    1. We know from the text that _____.
    A. during winter Alaskan black bears sleep for more than half a year
    B. researchers have examined hibernation in humans
    C. experts have got no results from their research
    D. Craig Heller is a leader from the Institute of Arctic Biology
    2. The best topic of the text should be _____.
    A. The Latest Research Results
    B. New Methods of Putting Humans into Hibernation
    C. Alaskan Black Bears Hibernate
    D. Astronauts Could Hibernate Like Bears
    3. According to the text, we can infer that _____.
    A. many studies have examined hibernation in mice and bears as well
    B. humans' body temperatures vary between 30℃ and 36℃ while they sleep
    C. research into hibernation in animals may help deadly patients stay longer
    D. scientists have already take advantage of the different levels of hibernation in space missions

         It's not that hard to be a better writer. Seriously, it's especially true if you're starting as a non-writer
    who's just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.
         1. Have a structure. 1_____ Your body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according to
    topic, each one dealing with a single element of your subject.
         2. 2_____ When you say a car runs "fast", don't leave it at that. Show me how fast it is by detailing
    the vehicle's top speed and acceleration, along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust. Do the same
    with every other significant modifier (修饰语) you use.
         3. Don't pad words. 3_____ Most of the time, this ends up turning what's essentially nice writing into
    unreadable nonsense. You'll see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, along with
    useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning.
         4. Choose good words. Sometimes, the way your text reads comes down to word choice. Don't say
    "converse" when you can say "speak"; don't write "adjudicate" when you say "decide". 4_____ 
         5. Use a writing software. Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar. That's because using
    a quality proofreading software can help you on that end. 5_____
    A. Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation.
    B. Don't let anything keep you from it!
    C. Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals.
    D. Regardless of what you do, your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion.
    E. Basically, put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers.
    F. Some ideas can be quite correct.
    G. Sure, a few mistakes might slip in now and then, but a good tool will take care of most of them.

         Although most people have a family, in their darkest moments many will turn to nobody they consider "a
    true friend" for support and advice. But what make someone "a true friend", rather than just a good friend?
         A true friend will always try harder help. They will be sensitive to their feelings and will not criticize you.
    They will offer help without being asking and will never expect anything in return.
         A true friend will put aside whichever they are doing to come and see you if you are in seriously trouble.
    They will offer their support in your hour of need, as if everyone else in the world against you. If you don't
    have many friends, but you have one true friend, and you are very lucky. But remember, if you have a true
    friend, you have to be his true friend too. True friend give as well as take.
