阅读强化训练(十四)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解I’ve seen countless patients arrive complaining about gut (肠道) problems. Once we fixed their diets and solved their gut problems, their seasonal allergies (过敏) also disappeared!One patient struggled with allergies. She nearly died twice from allergies. She arrived at my office on 42 different pills; yet, she still felt awful. It turned out that she had leaky gut (肠漏症). We healed her leaky gut and calmed down her allergies. Thankfully, after six weeks, she was able to stop the 42 pills she used daily. For her and countless other patients, a key solution involves getting your gut healthy. To do that and remove seasonal allergies, I’ve found these four ways really helpful.Replace bad with good. A healthy diet becomes the first step for a healthy gut. Take out the bad and put in the good. Remove wheat, corn, dairy, soy and alcohol.Eat a high-fiber diet. Avoid anything that has sugar or trans fats (反式脂肪). Focus on eating healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, and omega-3 fats like those found in small fish.Use powerful gut-healing nutrients, including probiotics (益生菌). Other gut-healing nutrients include fish oil.Manage stress. A mind-body disconnection can mean being stressed out and tired, and your gut can be vitiated and your seasonal allergies will become worse as a result. Do some exercise that can help you relax like yoga every day.Get enough sleep. Enough sleep is important for gut health and overall health. Research shows a lack of sleep shortens your lifespan and increases inflammation (炎症), which can lead to long-term diseases. A lack of sleep can also increase your risk of diabetes, leading to obesity. Aim for at least eight hours of good sleep every night.If you follow the ways listed above, surely you’ll have healthier guts, reducing the chance of suffering seasonal allergies as a result.【解题导语】季节性过敏跟肠胃健康有关，健康的肠道可以帮助减少季节性过敏的几率。

阅读强化训练(十一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解I love fresh, local food that doesn’t travel for days before it gets to me. I’ve turned this interest into healthy baking business that’s expanded and grown in popularity. I discovered a love for baking and cooking when I was 8. Around that time, my mom was found to have a wheat allergy, which means she can’t eat the type of flour(面粉) most people eat.Because she was missing many of her favorite foods, I started experimenting with spelt flour to see if I could make some of the things she was missing. Spelt flour has a different type of protein that is easier to digest, so it’s a great choice for people who are allergic to wheat.Soon I was making many of the meals and all the baked food for my family. I started working with Martin Ruiz, who had a bakery at the market. A few months later, one day I saw a notice saying that a national healthy grocery chain was looking for local vendors(供应商). This opportunity fit my pl ans to provide fresh­baked, snack­sized spelt products for people who can’t eat wheat. I made an application and about a month later the notice came that I had been accepted! Over the next few months, things started moving fast. I had to make decisions on labels, packaging, and which products to market first.Running the business is part of my education now. I’m learning management skills: my dad delivers products since I don’t have a license yet; my mom helps with lots of details, including driving me to my kitchen 20 miles away；my two brothers help me with packaging and dishes.My philosophy(哲学)of healthy eating is：“Go local! Eat freshly. Try new things. And support local business and companies.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

阅读强化训练(六)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Robert Frost, popular for his rural life poetry, was born in San Francisco, California on March 26, 1874.Frost published several poems in his high school magazine, and he sold his first poem called My Butterfly：An Elegy for D|S15 in 1894. It was published in the Ne w York Independent edition on November 8，1894. He then went on a journey to Virginia. He studied at Harvard University for two years. Although he was a very good student at Harvard, he left it to support his family.Just before dying, his grandfather bought a farm for him and his wife. Frost worked on the farm for nine years, writing early in the mornings. During this time, Frost had written several poems which became popular later on. Eventually, his farming failed, which drove Frost back to the education field from which he had started. From 1906 to 1911, he served as an English teacher at New Hampshire’s Pinkerton Academy and afterwards at the New Hampshire Normal School in Plymouth, New Hampshire.In 1912, Frost with his family moved to Great Britain, and lived at first in Glasgow. Later, he settled in Beaconsfield outside London. His first poetry book titled A Boy’s Will was published the very next year. In England, Frost became friends with some important people like Edward Thomas, a member of the group known as the Dymock Poets, T．E. Hulme, and Ezra Pound. Being surrounded by these friends, Frost published some great works in England. In 1915, after World War Ⅰ started, he returned to America and bought a farm in Franconia, New Hampshire. There he built a career in writing, teaching and lecturing. This family habitat served as his summer home until 1938.

阅读强化训练(十三)[学生用书P169(单独成册)](建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A new report has concluded that advertising managers arebecoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show thatchildren influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, sothey’re an attractive target for advertisers.John Taylor, the author of the report, says：“Advertisers canreach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片)．“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programme，”Taylor says.There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specialising in media analysis.“The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when the y see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service，”she says.There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky(耍花招的) packaging.”Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a．m. and 10 p．m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self­regulation(自动调节)．Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练(十五)[学生用书P171(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解In a small home garden, about 1.5 meters wide and 3 meterslong, a robotic device called the Farm Robot is busy plantingvegetable seeds. The Farm Robot will control the soil’s moisture(水分), water the seeds and plants，and take out any wild plants orweeds.Rory Aronson is the inventor of the Farm Robot and CEO of the company that produces it. But who would find the device helpful?“Our target customer is somebody who would like to grow his own food but doesn’t have time.”Aronson says he has been testing the Farm Robot in his garden. “We had peppers, spinach and tomatoes. We also had broccoli and cucumber. We had 65 plants in total and this was a big number.”To survive in extreme weather, the Farm Robot is made of stainless steel(不锈钢) and 3D printed plastic.The tools are designed to plant, water and care for each vegetable. They are attached to a long, thin stick that moves up and down the garden. Aronson says putting the Farm Robot together takes about a few hours. “If you can use a screwdriver(螺丝刀) and follow instructions, you should be able to put the Farm Robot together by yourself.” The Farm Robot works with Internet programs and can design a garden based on each person’s needs. Its software is open source. That means the computer program that makes it work can be freely used, changed and shared by anyone.Hundreds of people have already ordered the Farm Robot online. They can expect to receive their devices soon. The cost of the Farm Robot is $3，100. For now, it is only one size. But the company is planning to make bigger Farm Robots for commercial gardening.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

姓名，年级：时间：阅读强化训练（八)［学生用书P164（单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟）错误!阅读理解The most wonderful time of t he year isn’t all that wonderful for those who hate opening presents in front of other people.Imagine it’s the Christmas morning. Your large family are looking at you because it's your turn to open a present. You try to make a response that will seem both grateful and genuine。

Instead， it comes across as awkward—even when you really like the present.According to the study by Professor Stefan Hofmann and Professor Mark Leary， this is a sign of ordinary social anxiety. Let’s explain some of the reasons why opening presents in front of others can make the gift opener so anxious.Some people just don’t like being the center of attention。

“Being the focus of everyone's attention puts pressure on people to be ‘perfect’ or follow social norms(规范). Everyone is more on their guard when lots of other people are watching，”Leary said。
