Unit 1 Living well【导语】Helen Keller一生生活在无声、无光的世界中,但她凭借自己的毅力给我们带来了人生的光明。
Three days to see—Helen KellerSometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life。
We should live each day with a gentleness,a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those，of course，who would adopt the epicurean motto of “Eat，drink,and be merry，” but most people would be restrained by the certainty of approaching death。
In stories the hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune，but almost always his sense of values is changed.He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live，or have lived，in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.【词海拾贝】1．emphasize vt.强调；着重2．vigor n．活力；精力3．keenness n．敏锐；锐利4．panorama n．全景；全景画;概观5．mellow adj.柔和的,芳醇的【问题思考】1．What way does the writer think would be excellent to live each day?_______________________________________________________答案：The writer has thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.2．What do you think of the hero who is usually saved at the last minute？_______________________________________________________答案:In the stories the hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune，but almost always his sense of values is changed。

AMy mother is the only living person who has never used email to send a letter.In all her life，she has never turned on a computer，opened an email account and touched the Internet.She has a phobia(恐惧症) about technology.When Dad was deadly sick she began to use a cell phone.Mom is far from the information age.She likes the way of her living.In 1955 she met her new husband.Since then she has lived in Silicon Valley.The man is an expert who is rich in computer technology.Mom is still that farm girl，and she is proudest of it.She sees her friends and her life “real〞．She shows no interest in the information and technology life.My mother experienced Depression，World War Ⅱ and the Co ld War.She enjoyed country music on TheSonsofthePioneers，a Canadian broadcast.But she had no way to listen to the radio.In the age when a lot of people were moved by Churchill for the first time with radio broadcasts，she only experienced them monthly.In her early twenties，Mom had worked in the field before she was a wife.Thus family and church became her life's center.She was never really interested in television，though I think she enjoyed a few of the TV series we had watched before，like AllintheFamily puters，the Internet and mobile phones are simply not parts of her life.Mom disagrees with the opinion that technology can make the life easier.In her life，she sees online music，email and information which are “unreal〞．However，I can partly understand.I like to read the books in my schoolbag.And also I am a child who enjoys the online books and music.I've written down my lovehate feelings with my computer.Mom's technophobia surely plays a role here，but it works for her.She's the happiest as she is.【语篇导读】本文作者讲述了自己母亲不同寻常的生活方式。

In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk as a “reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”（1）What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?（）A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.（2）What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library? （）A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.（3）According to the text, Dollly Parton is ________.A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a computer programmer（4）Why did the Richters go to Dollywood? （）A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.（二）What would it be like to walk on Mars? If you could build the highest building in the world，what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J. K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check emails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet，you can go back 11,000 years in time，or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.” There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What's the background of the place; what's the history？” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you hav e a doubt, search it out.'”Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting any new Web site.Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom (快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef.With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers. （1）The author uses questions in the first paragraph to ________.A. introduce the topic of the paragraphB. attract the readers' attentionC. let the readers answer itD. question the possibility of realizing the dream （2）How do you travel around the world in a day according to the passage?（）A. By making use of the Internet.B. By taking the time shuttle.C. By finding a tourism company in Google.D. By watching 3-D films.（3）Russell thought the students ________.A. shouldn't chat and play games onlineB. spent too much time on the InternetC. should learn knowledge instead of chatting onlineD. could solve their problems through the line（4）What's the purpose of the passage?（）A. Encourage the kids to learn to use the computer.B. Encourage the kids to explore the world online.C. Encourage the kids to do some research on science.D. Encourage the kids to spend more time online.四、任务型阅读（共10分）Every time you visit Disney World，there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high-tech，movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands，so do your chances to spend money. How can you save？As a family guide to Disney World，I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids，and I've developed a few money-saving plans.________Even if you're visiting for fewer days，it's a deal(the pass costs$229 for visitors ages10 and up，$183 for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under age three)．Without the pass，you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks. A single trip to Blizzard Beach，for example，would cost a family of four $100.________The prices at some of the nicer restaurants，especially those in Epcot's World Showcase，are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations before you leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY.________F or $65，you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card(call1-800-56-DISNEY)．Card-holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms，plus price breaks on character breakfasts，theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores.________Character-theme dinner shows are expensive，costing a family of four about $140，and even a character breakfast，where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes，can set you back $50.If your budget is tight，try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at freein-park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show，for example，in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost，while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets.________By then，the kids will really know what they want，and you won't waste money on expensive things.A．Members can get lots of benefits.B．Dine out at lunch.C．Become a Gold Card Member.D．Don't pay extra to see a character.E．Buy the five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass (入场券).F．Don't waste money on any gift-buying.G．Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs.五、翻译（共5题；共6分）1.那位年轻的经理处理业务细心，这为他赢得了高额利润。

Around this large dome there are four smaller ones.The building is made of fine white and colored marble(大理石). It has eight sides and many arches. There is an open corridor (走廊) just inside the outer walls. From this corridor, the visitor looks through the marble screen to a central room. The bodies of Shah Jehan and his wife lie in a tomb below this room.A beautiful garden surrounds the Taj Mahal. The green trees make the marble look even whiter. In front of the main entrance to the building there is a long, narrow pool. If you look in this pool, you can see all the beauty of the Taj Mahal in the reflection (倒影) from the water.Many people think the Taj Mahal is most beautiful at sunset.

As a result, he wears races on both legsand walks with the aid of crutches. At_concerts,_getting_on_stage_is_no_small_achievement_for_him. He slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair. He lays his crutches on the floor, slowly undoes the clasps (扣环) on his legs, puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin(下巴), nods to the conductor, and starts to play.One fall evening in 1995, while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City, Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble. Jack Reimer, a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle, described the scene. “Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sound meant.”There was no mistaking what he had to do. People who were there said, “We figured he would have to get up ...to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”But he didn't. Instead he waited a moment, closed his eyes, and then signaled the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off. He played with enthusiasm and power.Of course, it is important to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him modulate (调音)，change, recompose the piece in his head. At one point, it sounded like he was turning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.13．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A．It's a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage.B．It's not easy for Perlman to get on the stage.C．Perlman has achieved great success on the stage.D．Perlman has small achievements on the stage.14．After the string broken the audience thought that Perlman would________.A．get angry at his performanceB．give up the performanceC．do something about the violinD．continue performing with the threestring violin.15．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Perlman________.A．pretended not to know that the string was brokenB．thought nothing was impossibleC．was a very proud manD．showed his selfconfidence in time of troubleⅡ.任务型阅读Forget about expensive gyms! 16.________ Since it started in a Paris suburb in the 1990s, freerunning has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world.Instead of walking normally, freerunners jump over or around anything — cars, buildings, trees, or streetlights — in their way.17．________ “It was boring where we lived.There was nothing for us to do after school.We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting.We started learning how to jump and run between buildings —and we loved it.Walking is a waste of time.18.________ Everything — a tree, a streetlight — is part of our outdoor gym.We're like children because we've never stopped playing in the street.”The sport's website has lots of rules.

He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street.So I had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn't seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.Ⅵ.书面表达在紧张的高三备考阶段，英语老师为了提高复习效率，广泛征求学生意见。

Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too. Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scie ntists s how th at unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? America n scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn't return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn't be beating loudly, and you shouldn't be tired.56. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____.A. do stomach exerciseB. exercise the waistC. exercise all the muscles of your bodyD. run fast for 30 minutes57. From the second paragraph, we learn that ____.A. we only need to exercise twice a weekB. we should exercise three times a weekC. muscles lose their strength after 48 hoursD. we should exercise every other day, or three days a week58. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ .A. you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hourB. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same amount of energyC. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceD. both A and B59. If you have exercised too much, _______.A. your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercisingB. your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercisingC. your heart will not be beating loudlyD. you will be too tired to move60. This passage tells us that _________.A. it is better to do more running than walkingB. the more exercise you do, the healthier you will beC. the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hoursD. in order to lose weight, you have to run fastBWe have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. Yo u hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver's wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.61. If you want to answer the phone without any trouble, you'd better ___________ .A. pull out the telephone line when you are with your babyB. put your baby on the bed and keep an eye on him / herC. not hurry to answer the phoneD. make sure your baby is not near the table62. Who is responsible for the accidents that happened on the road?A. The two drivers who were arguing.B. It wasn't mentioned in the passage.C. The woman driver.D. The truck driver.63. From this story we learn that ________.A. there are many road accidents every dayB. the accidents mentioned in the passage are very strangeC. no one knows why this kind of accident happensD. the accidents mentioned in the passage are very common64. The writer's purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A. remind us not to answer the phone when we are busyB. tell us driving is dangerous every dayC. remind us not to be nervous when we meet an accidentD. remind us not to carry a cake when we are sitting in a car65. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A. troubles always come in groupsB. accidents may happen anywhere at anytimeC. a telephone call may cause great troubleD. anyone may have trouble on their way homeCThe concept of health holds different meanings for different people and groups. These meanings have also changed over time. This change is no more evident than in Western society today, when notions of health and health promotion are being challenged and expanded in new ways.For much of recent Western history, health has been viewed in the physical sense only. That is, good health has been connected to the smooth mechanical operation of the body, while ill health has been attributed to a breakdown in this machine. Health in this sense has been defined as the absence of disease or illness and is seen in medical terms.In the late 1940s the World Health Organization cha llenged this physically and medically oriented (导向的) view of health. They stated that health is a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and is not merely the absence of disease (WHO, 1946). Health and the person were seen more holistically (mind / body / spirit) and not just in physical terms.The 1970s was a time of focusing on the prevention of disease and illness by emphasizing the importance of the lifestyle and behavior of the individual. Specific behaviors which were seen to increase risk of disease, such as smoking, lack of fitness and unhealthy eating habits, were targeted. Creating health meant providing not only medical health care, but also health promotion programs and policies which would help people maintain healthy behaviors and lifestyles. While this individualistic healthy lifestyle approach to health worked for some (the wealthy members of society), it was of little benefit to people experiencing poverty, unemployment, underemployment or who had little control over the conditions of their daily life.During the 1980s and 1990s there has been a growing swing away from seeing lifestyle risks as the root cause of poor health. While lifestyle factors still remain important, health is being viewed also in terms of the social, economic and environmental contexts in which people live. This broad approach to health is called the socio-ecological view of health.At the Ottawa Conference in 1986, a charter was developed which outlined new directions for health promotion based on the socio-ecological view of health. This charter, known as the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, remains as the backbone of health action today. In exploring the scope of health promotion it states that: Good health is a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension (尺度) of the quality of life. Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioral and biological factors can all favor health or be harmful to it. (WHO, 1986)66. From the passage, we can infer that _________.A. good health means not having any illnessB. health has different meanings for different people in different periodsC. health has always been viewed in terms of the social, economic and environmental contexts in which people liveD. health has always been considered a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension of quality of life67. In the late 1940s, if you ___________, that meant you were healthy.A. were strong enoughB. were strong, optimistic and happyC. had enough moneyD. had a good lifestyle68. of society benefited most from the healthy lifestyle approach to health.A. Rich peopleB. Poor peopleC. Old peopleD. Young people69. The socio-ecological view of health includes the following broad areas EXCEPT ________.A. the social contextsB. the environmental contextsC. the economic contextsD. the area of personal development70. This passage mainly tells us that .A. wealth is healthB. health means different things in different periodsC. it's getting harder to be healthyD. people should change their understanding of health over timeDAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me.I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he c omplain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn't mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthew's parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Dick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don't have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew71.
