总结:
开学初期老师给我们讲了什么是开放教育，如何学习开放教育课程。我们对开放教育和开放教育课程有了基本的了解，也对开放英语课程有了比较全面的认识。特别是通过上英语课程，我们不仅仅学习了英语语法知识，也学习到了学习方法。还体会到了开放教育的“自我学习、教师辅导、网络资源、师生互动”的新的学习模式。
由于自己的英语底子薄，基础差，所以还不能够完全掌握老师讲的内容。在老师的精心辅导下，我的英语知识有了很快的进步。自己感觉到又重新拾起了英语。心中有了成就感。
目前的问题是：我还不能充分地网络资源。这是因为自己的电脑知识不够好，因此不能够和老师、和同学及时地进行网上交流。另外一个原因是工作较忙，有时顾不上英语学习。

Changes in Life
Since the opening and reform policy in China, there have been many changes in my life.
We are better off now, but in the past we lived a poor life. Now we have comfortable clothes to wear, healthy food to eat, big and bright room to live in. We also have greater say in many affairs, including national and international issues. We can clearly remember in the past we used to eat preserved pickles, live in cramped and gloomy rooms and we didn’t have say in many affairs.
We should happy and grateful for all the changes happened.

How to Keep Healthy
Nowadays, more and more people begin to realize the importance of keeping healthy. Without a healthy body, we can do nothing. Good health enables you to enjoy your life. How can we keep healthy? For me, there are three main ways to keep healthy.
First, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. It is better for us to have enough fruit and vegetables every day. Secondly, it is important to take regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging doing yoga and so on. Last but not least, it is essential to keep in a good mood. Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress. When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy.

1. Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3,000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death. Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised. First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent . Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth. 1. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____. A. traffic accidents B. smoking-related diseases C. murder D. all of these 2. Every day there are over _____young people who will become regular smoker. A. 75 B. 23 C. 30 D. 3,000 3. By "dropout" (in paragraph 3) the author means______. A. students who failed the examination

一、阅读理解(共10题，每题2分，共20分) 请阅读以下文章，回答文章后的五个小题。每个小题只有一个最佳选项。 1). Breastfeeding (母乳喂养) for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman's risk of getting diabetes (糖病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 women from California. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old. According to Schwarz's study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found. While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says. The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who don't breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says. The finding isn't surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to women who get diabetes (occurring during pregnancy (怀孕)) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on the benefits to the baby. 1. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. About two thousand and two hundred old women took part in the study.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮光物)against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the 11 century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high
