Vegetarians (素食者) around the world have long believed that a vegetarian diet is a healthier choice than a meat-based one. Studies have shown that not only do vegetarians have less heart disease and fewer circulatory problems, but they also tend to have fewer chances of cancer. 36
Should you consider becoming a vegetarian you may wonder: 37 The term “Vegetarian” generally describes a person who does not consume meat, fish, or seafood. However, there are several types of vegetarians, and the vegetarian diet can change depending on which category the person falls into.
38 Today’s importance on meat-centred diets has been proved to contribute to many of our modem illnesses. Choosing to get rid of or limit the meat you eat can bring you many of the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. In addition to the health benefits of a vegetarian diet, you will also reduce your share of the suffering that human beings bring to animals.
Many people start vegetarian diets without doing nutritional research and learning what a balanced vegetarian diet makes up. As a result, a large number of new vegetarians complain that they lack energy. 39 Others find quite a few other problems that come with a poorly balanced vegetarian diet.
Not everyone wants to be a vegetarian. Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style. 40 Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.
A. What do vegetarians eat?

Does meeting new people make you nervous? If so, you are not alone. But making a good first impression isn’t as hard as you might think. It just involves a few simple choices.
Look your best
36 But you don’t need t o look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself. Make sure your clothing is clean, not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation 37 .
Stand tall
The way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you. Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you’re friendly and interested. 38
Speak up
Speak loudly and clearly enough so that people don’t have to struggle to hear you. If you don’t know wha t to say, ask questions. 39When people are talking,
pay attention to what they’re saying rather than planning what you’ll say next. And if you’re not sure what they mean, ask!
Value people
Most importantly, show people you care. Your concerns for them will be obvious if you smile and listen carefully. 40 Don’t keep them waiting. Everyone you meet is important. So make eye contact, smile and greet them. They’ll appreciate it and others may be watching.
A. And remember, you are important, too
B. Respect other people’s time, too
C. Most people enjoy talking about themselves
D. Then greet them with a firm handshake
E. One survey said blue and black are best for job interview
F. Obviously your appearance influences people’s impression of you
G. Don’t forget littl e things like brushing your teeth

Children have gentle minds. To find the best way to teach children to share and care is easy. Kids are naturally attracted to animals. 71 Also we can show them the cow eating grass on a farm.
Making them have a look at the animals that are dying out and rare pictures from newspapers is another exciting way to make them love animals. The effects of pollution are difficult for them to understand. 72 There are great pictures of animals like cute rabbits and gorillas.
73 Tell them they are our friends, so we can’t hurt them. Take them to the conservation park and show them a monkey or a rare bird. Show them the types of penguins. Teach your children that animals can feel pain but cannot express themselves like us. 74 If you have pets at home, let them accompany your children deal with them well.
One could call an ambulance for injured dogs or nurse a sick animal back to health. Taking a nature walk is liked by kids and also the best way to get along with the family. Kids love to see some newborn dogs and the mother nursing them. 75 .
A Emotions are well understood by children and they may have the same feeling.
B Children all like small animals, but they don’ t consider them as their f riends.
C Teach them never to throw stones to hit animals.
D This can make children know how to care others.
E One could teach them to be kind to ants and show them how they carry food to save for the rainy day.
F Parents should protect the environment first.
G Therefore one could tell them that the environment should be (kept ) clean. EGCAD
While happiness does not happen by chance, you don’t need to change our entire life to find it. Start your journey to a happier you by developing these easy habits.
Work Out Often
Staying active can make you feel more enthusiasm for daily activities. So hit the gym or take up a sport that suits you best. Working out does you more good than burning off calories and strengthening your muscles. 36 That’s why healthy people are generally 20% happier than unhealthy people.
Volunteer
37 Using your skills to assist the less fortunate can boost your happiness. After all, it is joyful to bring some life and light back into someone’s life. You can start small, like preparing a meal for your elderly neighbor.
Enjoy Friendship
Everyone can find himself stuck in trouble now and then. Enjoy an evening talking about your lives with your friends. Often they know you well enough to give you sound advice. 38
Plan Your Day
H aving a set schedule can reduce stress throughout your day. Plan each day’s work before stepping into the office. 39 Staying organized by planning ahead can help you enjoy each moment.
Turn Off the TV
Turning on the TV for “noise” or relaxation can act ually be harmful to your health and your happiness. Don’t turn on the TV while you’re cooking or doing the housework. Try turning on some soft music to relax. Turn off the TV and give yourself some reflective (沉思) time to read a book or play a game with your family. 40
A. Lending a helping hand proves to be a reward in itself.
B. You are only one step away from achieving more happiness.
C. It also brings about a feel-good reaction that promotes happiness.

She'd seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks. When a piece of land became available, the city council agreed to choose a part for a playground. __2__ She asked many kids for their wish list. She also asked experts for help. And she brought on board her friend Sue Mayer, whose eight-year-old son, Sam, has a serious disease. Her Kiwanis Club chapter came through with $7,000, and that's when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $25,000 and had her company donate the same amount. __3__ There were silent auctions (拍卖) and T-shirt sales. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000 balance if McGarry could raise the rest. The $450,000 covered materials, but the actual construction would cost an additional $900,000. Not a choice. But the community could build it. On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the radio on the way to work and took the day off to help. __4__ Ten-year-olds sanded surfaces. Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County, There's a giant pirate ship, a sandbox, monkey bars, swings and so on. __5__ It's exactly what McGarry wanted. People used to ask why she wanted to build a playground just for children with disabilities. “They didn't get it. It's only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children.” she said. A．Soon smaller businesses were helping.

Bud went to an all-white high school in a beautiful, all-white neighborhood. There were very few big buildings in his community. As a matter of fact, you would have to walk four or five blocks to get to the nearest shopping center. 2 In his basement, he had a complete mini-gym. In his bedroom, he had a nice desk, complete with reference books and his own little TV on which he could play his video games. 3 My family lived in a nice apartment in an all-black housing project.

2017年高考英语阅读专练（七选五） 1. Brain Transplants Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years. 1 If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc. The idea that a human brain could be transplanted may come from Frankenstein. In 1999, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin. 2 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 3 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin. Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area. 4 The transplant was performed from a dog named Genius to a dog named Idiot. Genius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory. 5 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Genius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Genius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all. A. The experiment was a complete success. B. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. C. Then it was released by means of electric power. D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area. E. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced. F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain. G. One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer. 2. W. Lloyd Jerome’s Dental Surgery If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome’s dental surgery in Glasgow,
