Today, more and more people care about their health. But how can we stay healthy?

First of all, it helps to do some exercise every day. Doing exercise helps your lungs (肺部) work harder and your heart beat faster. This makes your heart stronger and cuts down on your risk of heart disease. You can start with some daily exercises, such as walking, running and dancing to music. You can also play ball games, including basketball, volleyball, ping pong and more.

Second, what you eat is also important. According to doctors, you’d better eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat. This is because meat has more fat in it. When too much fat builds up in your body, it can block your blood flow (阻塞血液流动). This can lead to a heart attack (心脏病发作).

Finally, ________, such as going to bed too late. You may clearly know the dangers of such habits. What you need to do is make up your mind to change yourself. If you follow these tips, you are sure to become a healthier, stronger person!

34．Doing more exercise can help people have ________.

①healthier lungs

②a stronger heart

③a slower heartbeat

④a smaller chance of having a heart attack

A．①③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①②③④

35．Eating too much meat is unhealthy because it can make ________.

A．you sleep late B．your body fat high

C．your blood flow fast D．your lungs work slowly

36．The blank (空格) in Paragraph 4 should be filled in with ________.

A．start to do exercise at once B．get up early in the morning

C．say no to bad habits D．set a good time to go to sleep

37．What is the main idea of the article?

A．Reasons for exercising B．Different opinions on health

C．Ways to keep your body healthy D．The importance of having a healthy diet

Have you ever forgotten where your socks are when you wake up in the morning? Can you remember what you ate for lunch a week ago? You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing. But now you should be thankful.

Scientists from the University of Toronto found that forgetting is actually a key part of learning. Getting rid of unnecessary information can help our brains work better.

What kind of information is unnecessary? Scientists say that this may have something to do with the environment you live in.

In an environment that is always changing, our brains may require us to remember less. For example, a supermarket cashier meets many people every day and will probably only remember them for a short time. But a designer who often meets his or her clients (客户) will remember longer.

That’s because our brains keep making new neurons (神经元) from stem cells (干细胞), said Paul Frankland, a professor at the University of Toronto.

There is a special area in our brains called the hippocampus (海马体). It is important for us to learn and remember. When new neurons go into the hippocampus, they renew our old memories. This could explain why you forget so much information about the time when you were very young.

However, being forgetful is not always good. When you don’t have enough sleep, you may have a hard time remembering new information. Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information, Matthew Walker from the University of California told the Huffington Post.

38．Forgetting is a key part of learning because ________.

A．it is unimportant for us to learn and remember

B．getting rid of unnecessary information can help our brains work better

C．our brains may require us to remember less in a changing environment

D．lack of seep makes our brains have difficulty getting new information

39．What is important for us to learn and remember?

A．The hippocampus. B．The new neurons.

C．The stem cells. D．The new environment.

40．Why do we forget so much information about the time when we were very young?

A．New neurons go into the hippocampus and require our old memories.

B．New neurons go into the hippocampus and renew our old memories.

C．New neurons go into the hippocampus and return our old memories.

D．New neurons go into the hippocampus and recall our old memories.

41．How does sleep help us avoid being forgetful?

A．Enough sleep helps us keep fit and calm.

B．Enough sleep helps us remember older things longer.

C．Sleep helps the brain store and keep new information.

D．Our brains keep making new neurons in enough sleep.

When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled (挣扎) to start breathing. Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival.

However, Oliver managed to take his first breath, and then announced his arrival by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “let me see it.”

The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. He gave her the child. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back and died.

The doctor began to put on his coat. “The mother was a good looking girl. Where did she come from?”

“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Where she came from, or what her name was, nobody knows.”

The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story.” He shook his head. “No wedding ring. I see. Ah! Good night.”

And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. He was then sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled (翻) around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs. Mann, who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children. She also knew what was good for herself .The board (董事会) responsible for the orphans (孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr. Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.

On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann. Through the front window, Mrs. Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.

“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.

——From Oliver Twist

42．What does the underlined word “hard” most probably mean in the sentence?

A．not soft B．not easy C．not strong D．not smooth

43．Oliver was born ________.

A．on a farm B．in a factory C．on a cold day D．on a rainy day

44．What do you think of the doctor who helped Oliver’s mother give birth to him?

A．Calm. B．Helpful. C．Careful. D．Cold.

45．Mrs. Mann always locked the gate of the baby farm in order ________.

A．to keep the children safe

B．to make the baby farm a quiet place

C．not to be found she treated the children poorly

D．not to be seen when the children were washed

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll give you a talk about my happy life.

Happiness/Joy can not only make us healthier and brighter, but also make us smarter.

I enjoy learning all the subjects because I believe I can realize my dream by working hard. Also, I can achieve a balance between my hobbies and studies. To my joy, my parents and I are like friends. We get on well with each other.

In all, happiness/joy is around us. We should learn to find it and enjoy it. Thank you!
