The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.56. The author has given lots of food to others because_______.A. she is poor at cooking.B. she is a church member.C. she is friendly to others.D. she has received others’ food.57. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author________.A. had to stay in bed for several weeksB. knew the family in need very wellC. was glad to be able to lend a handD. was tired of preparing food58. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?A. Her mother died when she was in hospital.B. She didn’t get enough food during her pregnancy.C. She received food as well as comfort in her hard times.D. She thinks offering food is the best way to show love.59. What do we know about the author’s family?A. Her family is too poor to buy enough food..B. Her family lives not far from a church.C. Her husband is not good at cooking.D. She has a babysitter taking care of her twins.60.

Every man has his faults.BAirtight plastic bags can help farmers protect their harvests without the use of harmful chemicals. These bags are designed to keep air out of crops in storage. Using them is a simple way to fight insects and keep crops fresh.Ten countries in West and Central Africa are involved in a project to improve the storage of cowpeas, alsoknown as black-eyed peas. Farmers can lose much of the harvest to insects called bruchids (豆象), which grow from egg to adult in a few weeks and then lay forty to sixty eggs. They can destroy the whole harvest within months.Farmers can sell their crops immediately. But selling at harvest time means more competition and lower prices.Or they can use pesticides (杀虫剂) to kill the bugs. But a crop scientist Dieudonne Baributsa says, “They end up misusing or overusing the pesticide. In Nigeria, they have reported a lot of cases of death. They usually call cowpeas ‘killer beans’ in Nigeria.”Mr. Baributsa is a researcher at Purdue University in Indiana, America. The project is called PICS---Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage. He says the storage bags are thick enough that any insects already in the cowpeas willdie from a lack of oxygen. The lack of air will also help prevent the growth of bacteria that can ruin the harvest. The bags cost about two dollars each. Mr. Baributsa says that is not much, especially if it means farmers can wait long enough to get a better price for their crops. The bags are produced locally. Donors currently support the project, but the groups involved are working to build a lasting market for the bags because donation for the project will not lastforever.A company based in the United States called GrainPro makes another kind of airtight bags. These are called SuperGrainbags. Phil Villers, the company’s president, says storing a harvest safely not only helps farmers earn more money, but also reduces the amount of the harvest loss to insects, spoilage and mishandling. “What does not get wasted and eaten means it is possible to feed a hungry world,” said Phil Villers.61. What is the best title for this passage?A．Simple bags save the harvest. B．Plastic bags kill the insects.C．Bruchids do harm to the harvest. D．Pesticides threaten food safety..62．It can be inferred that bruchids_______.A．steal the stored crops for their future. B．survive in airtight plastic bags.C．grow slowly. D．breed fast.63．How does the name of “killer beans” come out?A．The beans are poisonous by nature. B．People eat beans that are infected by bugs.C．Farmers use chemicals to kill bugs improperly. D．Bugs ruin beans within a short time.64．Which statement of the following is NOT true?A．Any insects in the bags will soon use up the air and then die.B．The airtight plastic bags currently sold on the market do not last long.C．The project provides the farmers with the bags for free at present.D．What farmers can earn from the use of the bags is more than they have to pay. 65．According to the passage, the storage bags can do the following EXCEPT______.A．double the total harvest B．raise farmers’ incomeC．help fight world hunger D．help project crops from being spoiledCPersonality assessments are sometimes used by companies to evaluate potential employees. Often it’s because they have compared their current top performers and concluded what makes an employee in a given position successful, and are looking for someone similar to place in an open spot. It makes hiring people less risky for managers and makes them more confident about their decisions.Here’s something you might not know about these personality tests: even though assessments are given to candidates to evaluate them for a particular job, it’s perfectly acceptable for job seekers to use the results of their test when going after any other job at any other company.Say you were given one of these tests, but you didn’t get the job. If the company shared those results with you, you can use them in your job search as a credibility builder. If you’re working with a recruiter (招聘人员) or even a hiring manager who’s on the fence about you, you can offer to share the results of your personality test with them. You simply say something like, “Can I share the results of my personality test with you so that you can see what my characteristics are?”This can also work as part of an email follow-up with a hiring manager after a phone interview. You just send along the results with a quick explanation: “ I wanted you to see this personality assessment that I took for another organization, so that you can see who I am .”Then, when they see that your qualities are what they’re looking for in a great candidate, they’re much more confident in either presenting you to a company, or moving forward in the hiring process.Don’t overlook any tools you can use to your advantage in the job search process. This particular one can be a very powerful one to help you land the job.66.The underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refers to “ ______”.A. personality testsB. businessesC. researchersD. employees67. The author suggests people_______.A. have confidence during the job searchB. take a personality test before looking for jobsC. use the results of their personality test in later job searchesD. share the results of their personality test with other candidates68. It can be inferred from the text that______.A. personality tests have little to do with job seekersB. candidates will be always told the results of their personality testC. personality tests can be useful for both companies and job seekersD. personality assessment is an unreliable tool to evaluate potential employees69. What would be the best title of the text?A. Job personality testB. Personality and job successC. How to impress a hiring managerD. How to evaluate potential employees70. The passage is mainly intended for_______.A. job seekersB. recruitersC. companiesD. parentsPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Have you ever found yourself wondering what you’re going to do with your life? Should you pursue another career path or stick to it? This is often described as being at the crossroads. There’s nothing really wrong in being at the crossroads. However, it becomes harmful when you stay there for a very long time without doing anything productive.What should you do then in order not to remain at the crossroads forever? Here are some tips.List down the pros and cons. Don’t just think about them. Write them down and list as many things as you can in every column. The purpose is to ensure you can really reflect on them.Get some advice. When you’re confused, it’s good to ask some people. You can refer your dilemma to your family or even a therapist. Also you can tell your problem to mature people who you think have gone through what you’re experiencing right now. Their wisdom and their success stories can provide you with a lot of inspiration and clearness on what path to choose.Visualize(想象). Visualization is an excellent technique when you need to have a more vivid image on what you want to become. You can also do it on your own. There are two ways on how to do it.First is the mirror technique. You stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself. Then start to imagine what you’d look like in five years from now. The other technique is through meditation and relaxation. You lie down flatly on a couch or any smooth surface. Make sure you’re comfortable. Then close your eyes and perform visualization.Once you have a clearer picture on your choices, you can then feed your mind with subliminal(潜意识的) messages. You can repeat the following: “This is what I want myself to be.” Repeat the sentence as often as you can until you can feel yourself believing in the words.Title: What to do when at the crossroads●List down the pros and cons:●List as many pros and cons as possible in every column and then give your 71_________on them●Get some advice:●Ask your family or even a therapist for advice on your 72__________.●73__________with mature and experienced people who can 74__________youand tell you clearly what to choose.●Visualize to have 75_________on your future:●The mirror technique: Look into 76__________and imagine what you’d look like in five years.●77_________: Lie down flatly and smoothly, performing visualization with your eyes 78_________.●79_________to your mind:●Repeat the sentence “This is what I want myself to be.” as often as possible until you 80_______.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.It’s strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life. Jacob seems like a normal person. He likes music, art and photography. His parents both got college degrees. He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer. He is a big fan of Mexican food. Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood. However, behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up.It started when he was only two years old. His parents divorced and then remarried. Going through elementary school and middle school, he was frightened a lot. This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man.He developed deep depression. Doing the smart thing, he talked to his parents about his problem. His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital. He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed. Serious insomnia caused the problem.The solution was daily medication. The medication took care of Jacob’s depression problem. However, it contained a substance with lithium(锂). The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate. This led to a weight gain of 25 pounds while he was on medication. So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication.Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school. Now he is a happy human being.Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression. Many people probably would have given up their dreams. But Jacob is not like this. He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future.81. When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage? (no more than 3 words) (2 marks) ____________________________________________________________________.82. Why did Jacob suffer from deep depression? (no more than 4 words) (2 marks)____________________________________________________________________.83. How did Jacob gain the weight of 25 pounds while on medication?

From theperspective of consumers, it can save some time for people who don't have much spare time. Just click the mouse, they can get whatever they want while staying at home. For the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don't have much circulating funds. They don't have to rent a house and spend money on employees compared with the traditional trade mode. However, there are still some defects in online shopping. First, lack of face-to-face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose the fun of bargain.It is undeniable that shopping on the Internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It's of great urgency that we need to regulate the relative laws in accordance with the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of being cheated.第11页共11页。

I cannot be bothered by it.”Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeat the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr. Mouse.

That‟s to say, tot ally, those workers will give up 6.2 million days of vacation, with an average of five days for each worker. For their employers, they feel happy because that is equal to a potential $500 million of …free‟ work, which, according to an economist will boost(使增长) the output of the economy by about two percent.The report also showed that the main reasons employees give up their remaining annul leave are due to pressures at work and their failing to appreciate that taking a break could make them more productive and, in turn, boost the economy in the long term.The research, done by price comparison website Travel Supermarket, found that more than one in four of those who will give up their remaining holidays (28 percent) will do so due to pressures at work. Bob Atkinson, travel expert for Travel Supermarket said: “As the economy is not so satisfying, it‟s no surprise that people are cautious to take all their leave, especially if they feel stressed and uncertainty at work.” Nine percent of the 2,020 people surve yed also said they would feel guilty about taking the leave because their work would have to be taken care of by their colleagues. A further three percent said they would be concerned about how taking time off would look to their employer, while the same percentage said they did not want to miss anything interesting or beneficial at work in the time they would be away.Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said: “Suppose that there are about 250 working days in a year, getting an extra fiv e …free‟ days of work from their employees could in theory boost the output of the economy by about two percent. On the other hand, if workers are less productive as a result of not getting enough breaks from work, taking all the annual leave, in fact, wi ll perhaps increase the economy.”61. According to the report, in UK more than a million workers .A. will not ask for leave in their working daysB. will take five days leave on averageC. will work 500 million days freely for their employersD. will not take all their holiday leave this year62. Which of the following is NOT a reason why employees don‟t take all their holiday leave?A. They have a lot of pressures at work.B. They don‟t realize that they will be more productive after taking a bre ak.C. They are busy and have no time because they have a lot of work to do.D. They don‟t think it proper to have their work taken care of by their colleagues.63. According to the report above, three percent of the people don‟t take all their holiday l eavebecause ________.A. they are worried about their employer‟s view on their taking holidaysB. they are under great pressure from the workC. they are afraid of being found by their employers while taking holidaysD. they worry about losing their jobs after taking holidays64. From what Vicky Redwood said, we can infer that ________.A. employees‟ extra five days of work will certainly boost the output of the economy byabout two percent.B. not getting enough breaks from work may cause workers less productiveC. in order to boost output in the economy, employees should give up some holidaysD. the more leave the employees take, the better the economy will become65. The passage is mainly about ________.A. a report about how the workers in UK take their holidaysB. the fact that one million employees in UK don‟t take all their annual leaveC. how the pressures at work affect the workers in UKD. reasons why employees give up their right to take holidaysCRetail therapy（购物疗法）has long been considered as a good way to let off stress. Now, US scientists have discovered not only does retail therapy exist，but that it could be caused byan individual's fear of sudden death.Researchers found materialistic people thought terrorism and war more stressful than oth- ers.Psychologists believe the rise of materialism around the world and its treatment effect on extreme stress might be a response to fear of death caused by acts of terrorism, disease and natural disasters.The scientists from Michigan State University said people with possession obsessions（妄想）often have lower self-esteem than others so are more likely to shop as the result of severe psychological suffering.Ayalla Ruvio，a business professor studying people's shopping habits while rockets fell in Israel, said, "When the going gets tough, the materialistic people go shopping. This stress spending is likely to produce even greater stress and lower well-being. Essentially, material-ism appears to make bad events even worse.，，Dr Ruvio led a two-part study of Israeli citizens living in a town that came under extreme rocket attacks for about six months in 2007. She compared 139 residents of the southern town with 170 from another town that was not under attack to see how their symptoms of post-trau- matic stress and shopping habits varied. Dr Ruvio found that, when faced with a deadlythreat, those who are highly materialistic suffered much higher levels of stress，while their tendency to shop was increased.Dr Ruvio said, "The relationship between materialism and stress may be more harmfulthan commonly thought.”The second stage of their research surveyed 855 Americans about their materialistic na-ture and fear of death. They found shopping was used to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety about death but this was in response to fear of a variety of life-threatening events like car acci- dents, criminal attacks and natural disasters.66. Which of the following opinion is NOT right according to the text?A. Terrorism is believed to easily cause the rise of materialism.B. The materialistic find terrorism and war more stressful than others.C. The scientists think possession obsessions help people get self-respect.D. The scientists think people with possession obsessions suffer a lot mentally.67. Why did Dr Ruvio choose to study the two groups of Israeli citizens mentioned in the pas-sage?A. They enjoy the special shopping culture.B. The stresses they face are usually deadly.C. They are in different situation in terms of war.D. They are usually active participants for researchers.68. What's the result about Dr Ruvio's research?A. Impulsive spending does good to people's health.B. Shopping can't lower one's stress as it is expected.C. Faced with great stress, people feel hopeless for life.D. Faced with threat，people's wish to shop will decrease.69. Which of the following events threaten people's life?①Greater stress; ②Car accidents; ③Criminal attacks；. ④Natural disasters;A.①②③B.②③④C.①②④D.①③④70. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Greater stress can lead to shopping.B. Greater stress can cause a lot of diseasesC. Shopping is very important in people's life.D. Can shopping reduce the stress and relieve the fear of death?Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hour's a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized. Faceless, bodiless "virtual" communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actualconversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives."But it's important to remember this is not about the technology; it's about how it is used," says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study's sponsors. "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology."Title：71.71. Internet causing Depression 72.

As a result ,Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.Paani Laupepa , a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years .Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to signthe Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusin g to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影响的）to rising sea levels .Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.81.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of themthere are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fitsbest according to the information given in the passage.AJune 26, 2000-the Human Genome(基因组)Project, a great $ 3 billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging() human life. But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnologyhave provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fataldiseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet(迄今), and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.56．Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?A．Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.B．Because the human genome's completion can help them get rid of many diseases.C．Because they wanted to be better known than others.D．Because the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work. 57．Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?A．Japan. B．Germany. C．The United States. D．China. 58．Which of the following is NOT true?A．If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.B．The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.C．Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.D．The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century. 59．The author suggests that the Human Genome Project can cause _______.A．the policy makers to feel very worried and carefulB．the scientists to work harderC．many people to find work easilyD．a lot of companies to produce many new drugs60．The main idea of this article is about _______.A．unlocking genetic codeB．the genes' discoveryC．the great human genomeD．the genes and the scientistsBWhat should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work .So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.61．Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A．The importance of doing well at school.B．Using school performance to help to choose a career.C．The importance of being good at all subjects.D．The indirect value of school work.62．The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably .A．a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB ．useful for his future workC ．a good way to earn extra moneyD．a good way to find out his weak points63．According to the passage, if a students school record is not good, he ____.A．will be a complete failure in his future workB．will not be able to find a suitable jobC．will regret not having worked harder at schoolD．may do well in his future work64．Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A．Mathematics. B．English.C．Technical Drawing. D．History.65．The whole passage centers on ____.A．choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB．acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC．finding ones strong and weak pointsD．developing ones abilities useful in school workCThis morning, a Virgin Atlantic 747 Jumbo Jet became the first commercial airplane to fly on biofuel. The short flight from London to Amsterdam used a blend of 20% babassu（棕榈）oil mixed with 80% conventional jet fuel.What was really exciting about the flight was the fact that the engine did not have to be altered in any way for the biofuel to work. While this is a great initial step in trying to reduce CO2(carbon-dioxide) emissions （排放）from airplanes, there are a lot of hurdles（障碍）that still need to be overcome.First and foremost, unlike the normal fuel used to run airplanes （known as Jet A）, biofuel freezes at high altitudes. Also, Jet ‘A’fuel burns consistently (at the same pace), which means it provides a sale and reliable fuel for long flights – engineers are not sure if biofuel will be able to do the same.The biggest hurdle to a full biofuel switch is our ability to be able to grow enough crops that can be converted to biofuel. There are two concerns that scientists have in this matter – the first is that the land to grow the extra crops, will come from clearing more of our forests and the second that since it competes with what we eat, the price of food will go up.However, Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, envisions that if biofuel starts to replace oil on a greater basis, it will be manufactured from algae（藻类）produced in sewage treatment plants, not from food sources.Birgin Airlines is not the only one trying to look for alternative fuel sources. Earlier this years, an Airbus A380 used another alternative fuel-a man-made mix of gas-to-liquid, in one of its four engines. The flight was tested by Rolls Royce (manufacturer of jet engines), in partnership with Shell (an oil company). Rolls Royce is also working with Air New Zealand on a similar project.While a complete switch to alternative fucl may take years, it is very encouraging to see airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers all coming together to try to make it happen!66．Why does Virgin Airlines try to replace normal fuel with biofuel?A．To cut down the flight cost of the company.B．To remove some hurdles for the biofuel to work.C．To reduce CO2emissions from airplanes.D．To test plane engines on biofuel.67．Which is NOT true for a full biofuel switch of airplanes?A．Biofuel cannot run for long flights.B．Biofuel cannot work at high altitudes.C．Man has not enough land to grow extra crops for biofuel.D．It’s not easy for sewage treatment plants to manufacture biofuel. 68．One of the hurdles to be overcome for a full biofuel switch is to .A．alter the engine for airplanesB．make biofuel burn consistentlyC．open more land to grow more cropsD．develop sewage treatment plants69．We can infer from the last paragraph that .A．there is a long way to go for a complete switch to alternative fuel B．it won’t be long before alternative fuel comes into useC．airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers are reliable D．alternative fuel has a bright future70．Which of the following can best serves as the title of this passage?A．Biofuel-Alternative Fuel Sources.B．The First Commercial Flight Powered by Biofuel.C．How to Reducing CO2 Emissions from Airplanes.D．Vigin Airlines Trying to Alter Fuel Sources.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Healthy eating, about which there are a lot of fallacies, is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible-all of which are regarded as valid arguments and are considered to be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.Healthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart”– it’s not just what you eat, but how you eat. Your food choices can reduce your risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as wellas defend against depression. However, learning the habits of healthy eating can increase your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize your mood. You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a satisfying, healthy diet.Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has a lot of social and emotional benefits-particularly for children-and allow you to model better healthy eating habits from others. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.Take time to chew our food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly, savoring every bite. We tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the texture（口感）of what is in our mouths.Eat Breakfast, and eat smaller meals, throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism（陈代谢）, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your metabolism going and our energy up.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The problem with most surveys about whether people will pay for online content is that they’re conducted on the Internet-and respondents have a special interest in being able to surf the Web forever for nothing. But one of the most surprising results of a new, more wide-ranging survey by the marketing and media information firm Nielsen was that some people are actually prepared to pay.Nielsen asked 27,000 people across 52 countries if they’d consider paying for Internet content. The answer was a resounding perhaps. Before Rupet Murdoch and other champions of paid content get too excited, thought, it’s worth noticing that 71% of respondents say that content would have to be considerably higher quality than the free stuff before they handed over any cash. If they believed they could get the information elsewhere for free, they’d never pay.So the puzzle that still remains unsolved for providers is exactly how to provide content unique enough that users can’t get it elsewhere-and once they have produced it, how to protect it, while still promoting it. How do you balance the two Web models; the one where linking is everything, where you want content picked up by other sites, and the one where your content has to be exclusive（唯一的）?There are encouraging signs for providers in some categories. According to Nielsen, more than 50% people would be prepared to pay for movies, music and games; exactly half would pay for professionally produced video, and a slightly smaller proportion would pay for magazines. On the other hand, fewer than a third of people would be prepared to pay for social media, news or talk radio, consumer generated videos or blogs.Now for the surprising results, consumers under 20 were most likely to consider paying, while those over 65 were the least likely. This, Nielsen speculatesm may be because younger consumers are platform agnostic: to them, video is video, whether viewed online or via cable TV, for which they alrcady pay.
