         Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things.
    These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.
         First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word,
    you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical order-a, b, c and
    so on. For example, on a dictionary page the "poor" comes before "poverty" and the word "poverty" comes
    before the "power". The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will
    tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic
    alphabet shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can
    look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary
    will tell you all of the word's meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different
    meanings.
    1. Many words have ______.
    A. several meanings
    B. one meaning
    C. few meanings
    D. no meaning

         The other day in school we were discussing jobs. Our teacher, Mrs. Bolt, said that vocations were very
    important and that it was never too early to think about your life's work. Most of the children really weren't
    too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs. Bolt asked
    me, I replied "A truck driver."
          "A truck driver," repeated Mrs. Bolt. "Why do you want to be a truck driver, Kenneth?" 
         "Because truck drivers are always on the move. They don't have to sit at desks all day. They're out on
    the road and they see a lot of the country. The pay is good, too. And you never have any homework."
         The class laughed.
         "Well, Kenneth," answered Mrs. Bolt. "You certainly sound enthusiastic. I guessed that you don't like
    sitting at a desk or doing homework. Is that correct, Kenneth?"
         "Yes, I guess so," I said.
         "Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should investigate the field a little
    further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write a book
    report on it and hand it at the end of the month."
         "That's the last time I'll ever tell anybody my secret ambition!"

         Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the
    doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
         Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods,
    such as fried chicken and icecream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups
    who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children
    will buy less take away food.
         There is anther argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree
    with this because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops.
    If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food or are always allowed to choose
    what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, this will carry on throughout their lives.
         There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk
    to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer
    games. Not only is this an pastime (消遣), it also give them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they
    need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
         The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to
    be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
    1. According to the passage, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
    A. Those who often took exercise.
    B. Those who often watch TV.
    C. Those who often have meals at home.
    D. Those who often walk to school.
    2. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _____.
    A. their parents often cook meals for them
    B. they are too busy to go out and play
    C. they can't choose what to eat
    D. there are so many fast food shops around
    3. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _____.
    A. forcing
    B. guiding
    C. driving
    D. moving
    4. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
    A. tell a story
    B. provide facts
    C. give advice
    D. compare opinions
