人教版英语选修6第三单元课文原文及翻译Unit 3 A healthy life 第三单元健康生活ReadingADVICE FROM GRANDADDear James,It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It's my birthday in two weeks time and I'll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear grandson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes.By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally manage.When I was young, I didn't know much about the harmful effects of smoking. I didn't know, for example, that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant. I certainly didn't know their babies may have a smaller birth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither did I know that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, and that the ends of my fingers were turning yellow. She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again unless I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much. When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit smoking.I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It might help you to stop and strengthen your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have.Love fromGrandadHow can you stop smoking?It is not easy to stop smoking, but millions have managed to quit and so can you. Here are a few suggestions.Prapare youself. Decide on a day to quit. Don’t choose a day that you know is going to be stressful, such as the day of an exam. Make a list of all the benefits you will get from stopping smoking. Then throw away your last packet of cigarettes.Be determined. Every time you fell like smoking a cigarette, remind yourself that you are a non-smoker. Reread the list of benefits you wrote earlier.Break the habit. Instead of smoking a cigarette, do something else. Go for a walk, clean your teeth, frink some water, clean the house; in fact, do anything to keep ypur mind and especially your hands busy.Relax. If you start to feel nervous or stressed, do not raech for a cigarette. Try some deep breathing instead. Do some relaxationg exercises every time you feel stressed.Get help if you need it. Arrange to stop smoking with a friend so you can talk about your problems,or join a stop-smoking group. If you feel desperate , you might like to talk to a doctor or chemist about something to help you, like nicotine chewing gum.Keep trying. Don’t be disappointed if you have to try several times before you finally stop smoking. If you weaken and have a cigarette,do not feel ashamed. Just try again. You will succeed finally.爷爷的忠告亲爱的詹姆士：今天，这儿天气晴朗。

She has adapted to using her feet to deal with many daily activities by herself."I fed my baby with my feet. Nobody ever taught me how to do it;I just did it," Larson said. "I can ride a bike. I can swim. These hadn’t been problems in my life at all. It didn’t stop me from having four boys. I have never dropped any of them."In a lawsuit(诉讼), she charged employees at two different McDonald’s restaurants in Rockford with s tepping back when she tried to take her food using her foot.In both cases, employees finally agreed to give Larson’s food to other people in her vehicle(交通工具), including her son and a friend. Both times, cashiers at different windows took her credit card from her foot without any problem."I felt discriminated(受歧视的) against and embarrassed," Larson said. "All I wanted was the food I had paid for with my money. I just wanted to feed my kids.""We care very much about our customers and take this matter seriously," said Taylor, owner of the two restaurants.

We lose interest in enjoyable activities, or get stressed, but when it continues for a long time or affects our daily activities, it may be serious.Stress is the body’s response to any demand or pressure. These demands are called stressors. When stressors in your life are constant, it caninfluence your mental and physical health.Anxiety (焦虑) is a normal reaction to stress. It helps you deal with a tense situation. However, if you cannot shake unnecessary worries, or if the feelings are strong enough to make you want to avoid everyday activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.Depression (沮丧) is very different from casual upsets. About million Americans experience depressive disorders that affect their lives. Depression starts between the ages of 15 and 30. There are different types of depressive disorders, each with its own symptoms and treatment choices. The good news is that depression can be treated, and people can recover. The following suggestions are some steps that you can take.●__________Regular physical activity improves one’s mood, helps relieve depression and increases one’s feelings of well-being. Try going for a walk, dancing, or riding a bike. Ask a friend to exercise with you if you need to be motivated (激励).●Try to find out why you feel depressive.Find out what may be causing your stress. Determine what steps you can take to reduce stressors, such as changing schedules and setting realistic goals for yourself.●Talk to someone.Talk to someone you can trust, such as a parent, doctor, friend, or teacher. Some people find that sharing their feelings with someone they trust and who recognizes what they are going through helps them feel better.●Visit a health center, and discus s concerns with a health professional.If the health professional advises treatment, follow his or her instructions. Watch out for side effects, and attend follow-up appointments to assess improvement. If you don’t feel any better after 4-6 weeks, tell your health professional.60. According to the passage, depression ______.A. is the body’s response to pressureB. is a normal reaction to stressC. is a kind of casual upsetD. usually starts between 15 and 3061.

What can be inferred from the passage？A. Stressors will influence your mental and physical health.B. Anxiety prevents you from dealing with tense situations.C. There’re 15 million Americans that experience depression.D. Different kinds of depressive disorders have different symptoms.CEvery day, all across the nation, as many as one in four children refuse to go to school. The reasons are various. "School Refusal", formerly known as "School Phobia", is an actual anxiety-based disorder. Many children are vague about their complaints and unable to be sure what is making them anxious, so it is sometimes regarded as typical childhood willfulness. However, the effects of constant school refusal can be far-reaching for your child’s education.So, where is the line between what’s normal and what’s not "You need to look at whether it is affecting the child or the family’s daily functioning," explains Christopher Kearney, . In other words, if a child’s grades are suffering from frequent absences o r a parent’s job is disturbed, it is time to look closely at the issue. Parents should listen carefully to children who say they can’t go to school because of "untestable things", such as stomachaches or headaches. While these complaints alone don’t necess arily indicate school refusal, there may be deeper problems if combined with general complaints about school, talks of threats at school and so on.There are different kinds of behavior in school refusal. Some children are influenced by their friends who skip school to hang out with their friends, showing a sense of rebellion (叛逆). Some children cling to their mother’s leg, screaming at the thought of having to enter the school building.However, that doesn’t mean that getting a child back into t he classroom is impossible. According to Maryann Roth, a school psychologist and guidance counselor (顾问), parents should attempt to make the child get back to school, no matter how hard it is. Working closely with school officials and possibly a specialist to create a plan is a necessary step.64. The underlined word "vague"(Paragraph 1) is close in meaning to _________.A. irregularB. unclearC. indifferentD. unusual65. According to Paragraph 2, the real reason of "School Refusal" maybe that the children ______.A. are suffering from illnessB. are afraid of endless testsC. want to stay with their parentsD. feel bored and unsafe at school66. When facing "School Refusal" of their children, parents should _______.A. take the problem seriously if their daily life is disturbedB. discuss the seriousness of the problem with their childrenC. take their children to see the doctor immediatelyD. keep their children away from their rebellious friends67. The passage intends to ___________.A. explain that "School Refusal" is a symptom of an illnessB. explain the phenomenon of "School Refusal" and how to treat itC. remind parents to take good care of their childrenD. explain that "School Refusal" is normal and not seriousDIf you love adventure and excitement, then Hunter’s best-selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans(部落) as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the newest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ash fur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must struggle against many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior rule. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. Besides, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever."Hunter" is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Red wall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket (级别), they wanted their books to go into the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name alphabetically (按字母排序地) that would be close to Jacques. Hunter fits perfectly."My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He’s got a quite dark side about him. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinder pelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she isn’t a warrior, she tries to make the best of her destiny. I really admire that in her," said Victoria Holmes, one of the authors.68. The three warrior cats go on a journey mainly to _____.A. survive in the wildernessB. protect another warrior from disappearingC. find the killer that murdered Ash furD. look for some adventure and excitement69. From the second paragraph, we can learn that _____.A. Jay feather likes to tell lies and is unreliableB. the warrior rule of Holly leaf’s clan is terribleC. the journey is not easy for the three catsD. there are lots of unbelievable secrets among the clans70. The authors chose Hunter as the pen name because _______.A. the book is about the hunting of catsB. they all admired the fantasy author Brian JacquesC. the books should be placed into the bookshelves labeled as "H"D. they wanted their books to be best-sellers just like Jacques’Redwall71. Which of the following is NOT true about Cinder peltaccording to Victoria HolmesA. She has a sense of humor.B. She is on the side of the angels.C. She attempts to make the best of her destiny.D. She is a good medicine cat.EIf you ask Cheryl McBride about the time she stopped breathing —long enough to make her lips turn blue —she’ll tell you it was good fortune. Really！Not that she’s fond of near-death experiences. But this one turned her life around.Cheryl had been feeling anxious, exhausted and headachy. On top of everything, her memory was going. Everyone knows what it’s like when a word or a neighbor’s name won’t come when you try to think of it. What’s worse is that it may make you worry that you’ve got Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆病). But Alzheimer’s is not the only memory robber. There are other factors —yet doctors often fail to diagnose them.Cheryl, for instance, told her doctor she was concerned about her forgetfulness. She’d just begun caring for her e lderly parents and her doctor thought the problem might be due to stress; he advised her to leave the town on a trip with an old friend.On the first night in the hotel, Cheryl’s friend, Nina Freed, learned something new about her. "Cheryl snored (打鼾),"she said. "Very loudly. She just snored and snored." But one night, the snoring stopped. "I looked over at Cheryl and she wasn’t breathing," Freed said. "She was very pale and blue around the lips. My heart just dropped, but then she let out a huge snort."Having heard Nina’s description, Cheryl told the doctor about it. The moment she did, the doctor knew what was causing Cheryl’s problems. "You’re suffocating (呼吸受阻),"said the doctor. "Even in your sleep, your brain isaware of this emergency. So it interrupts you and starts your breathing again. Those starts and stops deprive (剥夺) you of sleep, which is enough to make you forgetful." Luckily, there’s an effective treatment. "I feel so good now," Cheryl says. "I’ve almost forgotten how bad it us ed to be." 72. Why did Cheryl leave the town on a trip ？ A. She wanted to see her old friend, Nina . She wanted to forget about her trouble. C. She wanted to relax to cure her forgetfulness. D. She wanted to find a good doctor. 73. What caused Cheryl’s forgetfulness ？ A. She lacked sleep because of a health . She had to look after her elderly parents.C. She was always exhausted and anxious.D. She had got Alzheimer’s disease.74. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. Cheryl knew that she was suffocating when she was asleepB. Cheryl’s memory -related problem often made her lips turn blueC. Nina Freed knew that Cheryl often snored when sleepingD. forgetfulness easily makes people worry about Alzheimer’s disease75. Which is the right order of the following events ？a. Cheryl left on a trip.b. Cheryl began to care for her elderly parents.c. The doctor found the cause of Cheryl’s forgetfulness.d. Cheryl’s friend found that Cheryl snored.
