          Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so
    it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (食物). The old saying "an apple a day keeps the
    doctor away." is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they
    contain vitamins. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form (丸剂), believing that these will make them
    healthy. But a good diet is made up of nutritive food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body
    doesn't need or use extra vitamins, so why they waste money on them?
         In the modern Western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw
    anyt hing into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse
    by bad eating habits is frightening.
    1. The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that        .
    A. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health.  
    B. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits  
    C. apples can take the place of doctors
    D. an apple is a sure cure for illness
    2. In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know        .
    A. our bodies need food, or we can't live  
    B. often eating apples is a good habit  
    C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless  
    D. a good diet is of great importance for our health  
    3. In the modern western countries        .
    A. people won't want to pay more attention to their eating  
    B. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewing.
    C. list of people's illness are caused or made worse by bad eating habits
    D. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves  
    4. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should        .

         Some people are pessimistic(悲观的)when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred
    years from now, we will have used up most of the earths resources. We will have made our seas so

         Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem.
    One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he
    made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built.,
         Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly. An example was a man in England
    800years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and
    jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. He fell to the ground and broke every
    bone in his body.
          The first real step took place in France in 1783. Two brothers, the Mongolfiers, made a very large
    "hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of
    cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon.
    They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a
    chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted 8 minutes
    and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above
    Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about 8
    kilometers.
    1. Leonardo da Vinci        .
    A. said that man would fly in the sky one day
    B. built a kind of machine which never flew
    C. drew many beautiful pictures of the birds
    D. made designs of flying machines
    2. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman        .
    A. made a kind of flying machine  
    B. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers  
    C. wanted to build a kind of balloon  
    D. tried to fly on a large bird
    3. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly        .
    A. lost his life            
    B. flew only 8 minutes  
    C. was not wounded      
    D. succeeded in flying
    4. The very first air passengers in the balloon were       .
    A. the King and Queen      
    B. two Frenchmen    
    C. two animals            
    D. the Mongolfiers

         Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized
    nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than
    10,000 years ago.   1  
         The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal
    with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.    2   So they are called
    "diseases of civilization". Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such
    diseases.
         Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very
    little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.   3  However, a change in food is one of the main differences
    between life in ancient times and that of today.
         Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.
    They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products,
    and they made very little use of grains.   4  We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat
    more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
            5  But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient
    people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
    A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.
    B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.
    C. In that case, they would live much healthier.
    D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
    E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
    F. People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.
    G. Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".

         Do you think animals can tell you what the weather will like? Some people believes the groundhog
    can, that is a small furry animal. There is a special day in America is called the Groundhog's Day that falls
    in February 2. On that day, if the groundhog comes out his home in the ground and sees his shadow, he
    will be frightened and go hurried back into his hole. People say this means there will be six more week
    of winter to expect. However, if he couldn't see his shadow this day and stays out of his hole, it means
    that spring is to coming soon.
