All living things must have water to survive. Without water, your body would stop working. Water makes up more than half of your body weight.A person can’t survive for more than a few days without it. Why? Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them. For instance,your blood, which contains a lot of water, carries oxygen to all the cells of your body. Without oxygen your body would stop working.Your body doesn’t get water only from drinking water. But water and milk are the best choices. Other sports drinks, soda, pop, or a fruit-flavored drink,are not good for every day. Why? They have a lot of sugar, which means a lot of calories. But water has no calories! These sweet drinks also may lack the vitamins and minerals found in milk. Lots of foods contain water. Fruit and vegetables contain water, too.Since water is so important, you might wonder if you’re drinking enough. I n fact, we can’t tell how much water that kids need to drink every day. Usually, kids like to drink something with meals and should certainly drink when theyare thirsty. But when it’s warm or you’re having exercise, you’ll need more. Be sure to drink some extra water when you’re out in warm weather, especially while playing sports.When you drink is also important.

He was a new player in 2009, and had already served the New York Jets. One day, the football team called him to be back again. But Fitzhugh refused.“I know it would be a good chance,” Fitzhugh said. “But you only get one mom and one dad. I’d rather be there for my parents than go for a sup er star chance.”Fitzhugh knows that his time with the Jets could last as little as a few weeks. Though he loves football, supporting his family is more important to him. He was unemployed by Jets for months after his last time on the football field. Now he has a steady job as a railway conductor which his parents hope him to have. He lives with his family and helps to support his mother and father.The family is close-especially since the death of Fitzhugh’s younger sister.

You never know what will happen. When I was unemployed, my family was there for me. I don’t want to take a risk.

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案6A coin collection usually starts from unexpected beginnings. For example, you may have coins in your purse from a trip to another country or you may find old coins in an old shop. You can have your collections about the country, year or subject. If your friends travel to many other countries, you would find it easy to collect coins of different countries. You may also choose a foreign country that interest you, like France or India, and collect coins of that country. You’d better collect your own nation’s coins if you want to know more about collections!Some coin collectors collect faulty coins such as coins with over dates, off-center coins and so on. But there are few faulty coins. This makes them even more interesting. You can also collect by material, gold or silver.You can pick up interesting coins during the international travel, and you can also get them at local shops, markets and coin shows.It’s great to collect coins, but where are you going to store them? Many people keep their coin collections in a box, but it’s difficult to find them when you need them. I give you a piece of good advice: store them in the bookmarks.( )1.

A. order B. rule C. advice D. wishCBADB ABDACTechnology has changed things a lot since 1990. Railways, cars, and electric lights have changed our cities. Airports and airplanes let people travel to different countries easily, so there are more foreigners here than there used to be. Also, there are fewer farms than there used to be because now farmers can grow more food by using machines. But the biggest change has probably been how people live their lives at home. In the past, people had to wash their clothes by hand, which usually took about 1 or 2 hours from start to finish. Now, washing machines can do the same work in less than 40 minutes! Cooking and cleaning the house used to take many hours every day, too. Modern people have much more free time than people used to have. But his is not always a good thing. Many people get bored more easily than people in the past did. When they have free time, they just surf the Internet or listen to the radio.

People who want to act in plays come from all over the world hoping to get a job as an actor. They want to become rich and famous on Broadway.But one group of actors in a new Broadway play is happy to perform for just a snack. These actors are dogs. They perform in a musical show called Chitty Bang Bang. The dogs do a great job in the play, thanks to their trainer William Berioni.Berioni did not plan to become an animal trainer. In college he studied acting and learned how to put on plays. But Berioni was also interested in animals.

The dog performed onstage for seven years. This is the longest any animal has been in a Broadway play.Berioni hopes the dogs will be in the play for a long time.

Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many ways to keep a climber’s safety. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds.
