| The D-word, it's most people's worst fear, but, in a bittersweet way, it was my greatest joy. In divorce, you gain something and you 1 something. I'm thirteen years old, and I know what it 2 like when parents split up, because mine did last fall. My parents had been 3 for years. When my father started cheating my mom things went downhill, I 4 they would divorce instantly. I tried to picture my life after my parents 5 up-living at my mom's house during the week, and my father's house on the weekend. But my mom decided to be the bigger person and try to 6 it out, so that my siblings and I would know 7 it was like to have a family. Things didn't get better, 8 . I would always strain to hear the quiet 9 they didn't want me to hear. They weren't getting along and they weren't happy, My father has never really been there for me. He was there physically but not emotionally. He yelled a lot and never really showed any 10 in going to my piano recitals or watching my dance performances, 11 we asked him to do and he had another 12 -a lie. We just ignored it and went on with our lives as if nothing was the matter. Then last summer, there was real 13 in paradise. My siblings and I want out to Los Angeles to pursue acting and while we were out there, my father 14 my mom again, and this time my brother, sister, and I all found out. We decided to stay in L.A and leave my father in Florida. Our 15 resulted in divorce. We didn't know if we were making the right 16 or not. My mom went back and forth. She wanted what was best for her children. She asked me if I thought we should go back to Florida or stay in Los Angeles, I replied mom "There is nothing in Florida for us any more. Out here in L.A, we have so many 17 , that can come true. We shouldn't let him abuse us any more." Finally, we are free. The 18 was the best thing that had ever happened to me and the rest of my family. I now know that taking chances is the best thing to do. I accept that 19 doesn't always. If, in your heart, you can feel something that is not right, then follow your heart. In the end it's going to be your only true guide, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, your heart will never 20 you down. | ||||

| The kitten was rescued, but didn't make it out of surgery in one piece. The veterinarian at Laurel Oaks Animal Hospital in Kingsland, now acting for the kitten, says she sees animal abuse more often than you might imagine. This kitten is playful and affectionate, but he has already seen how cruel a place the world can be. Dr. Julie Clark Blount is the veterinarian treating the kitten now, "I think they were actually kicking him or throwing him or something of that nature," said Blount, "They had damaged the whole bundle of nerves that are up in the armpit and control the functioning of the entire leg, and it's not something that would get better over time." Blount says they were forced to amputate his front right leg, "It doesn't seem to bother him at all and he runs and he plays and he loves attention and he's pretty spoiled already, and he's eating like a little pig, and doing fabulously for us," said Blount. Doing well, but Blount says other pets out there never survive abuse. "He's one of the lucky one," she said. Blount says unless abusers like him are caught and prosecuted, they could go on to bigger and worse things. "We with there were more strict laws to protect animals because if they're doing this to pets, then what would then end up doing to people, or kids, or anything else later on down the road?" wonders Blount. |

| Having a large waistline can almost double your risk of dying prematurely (过早地) even if your body mass index is within the "normal" range, according to a new study, over 350,000 people across Europe published Wednesday in the US. magazine, New England Journal of Medicine. The study provides strong evidence that storing excess (过量的) fat around the waist poses a significant health risk, even in people not considered to be overweight obese (极肥胖的). It suggests that doctors should measure a patient's waistline and their hips as well as their body mass index as part of standard health cheeks, according to the researchers from Imperial College London, the German Institute of Human Nutrition, and other research institutions across Europe. Comparing subjects with the same body mass index, the risk of premature death increased in a linear fashion as the waist circumference increased. The risk of premature death was around double for subjects with a larger waist (more than 120 cm for men and more then 100 cm for women) compared to subjects with a smaller waist (less than 80cm for men and less than 65cm for women). Body mass index is commonly used to assess (评估) if a person is of "normal" weight. Each 5cm increase in waist circumference increased the mortality risk by 17 percent in men and 13 percent in women, according to the study. An increased risk of mortality (死亡率) may be particularly related to storing fat around the waistline because fatty tissue in this areas secrete (分泌) cytokines (细胞因子), hormones (荷尔蒙) and metabolically (新陈代谢) active compounds (混合物) that can contribute to the development of chronic (长期的) diseases, particularly cardiovascular (心脏血管的) diseases and cancers, suggest the authors. Tobias Pischon, the lead author of the paper, said "The most important result of our study is the finding that not just being overweight, but also the distribution of body fat affects the risk of premature death of each individual." |
| 1. According to a new study of over 350,000 people across Europe, a person has more risk of dying prematurely, _____. |
| A. if his body mass index isn't within normal range B. if he has a large waistline C. if his body mass index is within normal range D. if he overweight |
| 2. Which of the following isn't mentioned as part of standard health checks? |
| A. weight B. hip C. body mass index D. waistline |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT wrong? |
| A. Each 5 cm increase in waist circumference increases the same mortality risk in men and women. B. Body mass index is commonly used to assess (评估) if a person is large waistline. C. The smaller waistline, the more mortality risk. D. Large waistline almost doubles risk of dying prematurely. |

| Barack Obama was born in Hawaii with a Kenyan father and an American mother. His father, Barack Obama Sir, married his mother, Ann Dunbar, while studying at the University of Hawaii. The couple separated two years after Obama was born. His father ultimately returned to Kenya, where he became a noted economist. He died in a car accident in 1982. Obama's mother's second marriage was to an Indonesian man named Lolo Soetoro. The family moved to Indonesia and Obama remained there until he was 10 when he moved back to Hawaii and lived with his grandparents, while studying on a scholarship at the elite Punahou Academy. He has seven half-brothers and sisters in Kenya from his father's other marriages, and a half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, from his mother's second marriage. After finishing college in 1983, Obama worked for a New York financial consultant and a consumer organization. He landed a job in Chicago in 1985 as an organizer for Developing Communities Project, a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods. Three years later, Obama went to Harvard Law School, where he became the first black president of the law review. He worked as a summer associate at the Sidley Austin law firm in Chicago, where he met his future wife. After graduation from Harvard in 1991, Obama practiced civil rights law at a small firm in Chicago. He became a lecture in constitutional law at the University of Chicago in 1993. Obama won a seat in the Illiao state Senate in 1996. During this time in the legislature he worked on welfare and ethics legislation, as well as a measure requiring electronic recording of police interrogations and confessions in homicide investigations. Obama won a heavily contested US Senate seat in 2004, carrying 53 percent of the Democratic primary vote in an eight-candidate race. He easily won the general election, In the Senate he compiled (编辑) a liberal voting record, but was one of the few Democrats to back a measure on class-action lawsuits. He opposed the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court. The nonpartisan (无党派的) National Journal ranked him as the most liberal member of the Senate early this year, based on his voting record in 2007.

| I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age, you ought to be growing from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (抓紧) at one another's hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please, but they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music, but somehow they all end up huddled round listening the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come at of their cocoon (蚕 茧) into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over, the path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it, find yourself, be yourself Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you area. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts. |

| A. have much difficulty understanding each other B. lack confidence C. dare not cope with problems single-handed D. are very much afraid of getting lost |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? |
| A. There is no popularity that really counts B. What many parent are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same. |

| MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DINEY WORLD Every time you visit Disney World, there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high-techs movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands (扩大), so do your chances to spend money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I've developed a few money-saving plans. ■ Buy the five-day All-in One Hopper Pass (入场券). Even if you're visiting for fewer days, it's a deal (the pass costs $ 229 for visitors ages 10 and up, $ 183for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under age three). Without the pass, you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water-parks. A single trip to Blizzard Beach, for example, would cost a family of four $ 100. ■ Dine out at lunch. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants, especially those in Epcot's World Showcase, are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations (预定) before you leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY. ■ Become a Gold Card Member, For $ 65, you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56- DISNEY), Card holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms, plus price breaks on character breakfaster, theme park (主题公园) ticket and goods from Disney stores, ■ Don't pay extra to see a character. Character-theme dinner shows are expensive, costing a family of four about $ 140.and even a character breakfast, where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes, can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show, for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets, ■ Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs (纪念品). By then, the kids will really know what they want, and they won't waste money on expensive things. |
| 1. The underlined phrase "set you back: in the passage probably means _____. |
| A. offer you B. save you C. return you D. cost you |
| 2. You should pay more money _____. |
| A. if you have a five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you're visiting for four days B. if you do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance C. if you have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot's World Showcase D. if you are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder |
| 3. The economical (经济的) way of meeting the Disney cartoon characters is _____. |
| A. to have a character breakfast B. to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show C. to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks D. to attend the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue |
