A
Almost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally. I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.
I am an emotio nal eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program：estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down
everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like e ating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.
I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought a Weight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is more food than the serving size.
It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.
21．The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________．
A．by walking and eating less every day B．by only eating fruits and vegetables
C．under her doctor’s direction D．with the help of her mother 22．What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A．How to prepare healthy food．
B．The ways of eating less food．
C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit．
D．What the author does to keep healthy．
23．We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________．
A．likes strawberries most
B．has formed healthy eating habits
C．can’t resist chocolate
D．finds keeping a healthy diet easy
B
Dear Alcohol,
You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？ I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party？ You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？ Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？ He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people
gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring （引诱） in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

Family life is being disrupted because parents and children are overwhelmed by the huge volumes of emails and social messaging updates they are handling each day, according to a new study．As a result one in three of us are now desperate to cut down our use of Twitter and Face book as well as emails．
Surprisingly the study, by Cambridge University, found children as well as adults preferred to communicate face to face．More than half of all families said a "technology-free" time is important and a third of parents said technology had disrupted family life．The findings led family groups to warn that if parents end up spending more time checking emails and social networks than with their children, it could have a detrimental effect on the home．Amongst children aged 10 to 18, who have grown up with new technology, 38% admitted feeling overwhelmed by the volume of messages．Similar numbers of adults felt the same way, with 34 per cent of 25 to 34 year olds agreeing．
Justine Roberts, founder of parenting website Mums net, warned："Social media is something we have to keep a watch on because it can eat into your life．"
"We encourage our members to switch off because otherwise you can't give your kids and husband the time they need．" She added："Websites like Face book and Twitter can be enjoyable and addictive but, like with everything, it needs to be taken in moderation．"
The survey also discovered that 43 percent of children and 33 percent of adults are taking steps to reduce their reliance on messaging, text and networking．But only one in five said they would be reducing the number of text messages they are sending and even less said they will be writing fewer emails．Nearly 43 percent said they have had a cull of their Face book "friends" and followers on Twitter in an attempt to cut down on the amount of time spent on the websites．
As part of the research, 63 families were asked to keep a diary of their use of communications technology．More than 1,250 adults were questioned in the research which was paid for by BT –the biggest broadband provider in the country．
28. Why are many people trying to cut down the use of Twitter and Face book as well as emails？
A．Because they are determined to communicate face to face．
B．Because they value "technology-free" time．
C．Because they realize communication technology is disrupting family life．
D．Because they have no free time．
29.The word "detrimental” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A．effective B．harmful C．beneficial D．favorable
30.It can be inferred that _____benefits from the using of Twitter, Face book and email．
A．BT B．Mums net
C．Cambridge University D．family group
31．The writer mainly wants to tell us ______．
A．Twitter, Face book and email are well received by both adults and children

The criminal said：one day, my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me：“ Which do you want？” “The reddest and biggest one,” my little brother said. My mother stared at him and said to him angrily：“ You should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldn’t always think of yourself.” Seeing th is, I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother：“ Mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” Hearing my words, my mo ther was very happy.

And I will give the reddest and bigg est apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.”
After the competition, I won and I got the biggest apple. In our family, as long as you want to get the best things, you must take part in competition. I think it is fair. No matter what you want, you must pay lots of efforts.

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 36 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”
At first I was paid in candy. 37 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 38
By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selli ng cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear？” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 39
The job taught me a valuable lesson：to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 40
