How important is keeping healthy to you? A group of young people got together to discuss this question. Here’s part of their discussion.

PETER: I’d like to stay healthy, but to be honest, I only eat food that tastes good. And if food tastes good, it’s usually bad for you, isn’t it? Cola tastes better than water, for example.

TONY: Well, food that is bad for you can taste good! But I prefer not to eat much food that is fried, like, er, French fries. Do you eat fast food, Laura?

LAURA: Do I eat fast food? Never! I love to eat food that is healthy. I want to take care of my health, so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Oh! And I stay away from sugar, you do too, don’t you?

TONY: Hm, yes. And I think most people are in agreement that fruit and vegetables are good for health. But, um, I would say that fast food itself isn’t always bad for you, but too much of it is not good.

LAURA: Actually, did you know that it’s been found in laboratory testing that some types of oil are really bad for us? So I don’t eat anything that’s been cooked in oil. Also, did you know that some foods might cause cancer? Like burnt barbecued meat. I’ve heard eating burnt food like this can increase (增加) the risk of cancer.

PETER: Really! But I love to eat meat that’s well cooked, even if it is a little burnt. It’s delicious, and meat isn’t really dangerous, is it?

LAURA: Oh! Yes, it is! I never eat meat. It’s not at all good for our health. If I were you, I’d eat nuts instead.

TONY: Well, I agree it’s good to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but I think it’s also fine to eat some meat or fish. People who eat a balanced diet should be healthier than those who only eat biscuits and hamburgers, shouldn’t they? I prefer to only eat food that I like, but isn’t it important to eat food that’s healthy, even if you don’t like it? The main thing is to have a good balance.

In many countries around the world May 1 is a holiday. Labour Day, or Workers’ Day, is an international holiday that honours working men and women, and the jobs they do.

During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. These groups of people formed unions (團(tuán)體). The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工資), but many of them refused to accept their ideas.

On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1 to honour workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries.

In the United States and Canada, May 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the Unites States, Labour Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the Unites States, Labour Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day.

The new book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood is warmly welcomed by the children in China. It sells well across China. You can see and hear the advertisements about the book here and there.

Why is the book so attractive to children? After reading it, I was attracted by the magic world. I can not help asking: where is our own Harry Potter?

China has a long history and colorful culture. With a large market of teenagers, China published(出版)many popular books among children. However, why are the present books not as good as those foreign ones?

    Firstly, quite a number of children’s books are written for teaching, and they have little interest. Reading them, children often have a feeling of being “educated”. Certainly, they don't like them. Secondly, fewer children like the same stories, but most Chinese books are usually much the same. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. Finally, the writers seldom think about children’s needs.

First-class Reading, for children should be interesting, and written in their language.

38. About the present Chinese children's books, which is NOT right?

   A. They have little interest.            B. Our writers seldom know children’s needs.

   C. Most of them are the same.          D. They are better than foreign ones.

39. Harry Potter is so poplar, because________.

   A. it’s the same as Chinese books       B. it can lead children into a wonderful world

   C. it's not written in children’s language  D. it’s advertised more often on TV or posters

40. The Chinese meaning of the underlined phrase “First-class Reading” is_______.

   A. 第一批讀物    B. 一節(jié)課的閱讀     C. 一流的讀物    D.基礎(chǔ)的閱讀

41. Which is the best title of the passage?

   A. Ways to read books.                B. A magic boy, Harry Potter.

   C. Books and advertisements.           D. Our children need better books.

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought I’d just go east.

A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going. “Ten more miles,” she said. There was another bus I could take from here. This clearly was going to be a long night.

I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no light number above its windshield. It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver.

“I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.”

“You will drive me home on the bus?” I asked, astonished.

“No, I will take you in my car,” she said.

“It’s a long way,” I insisted.

“Come on,” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”

As we drove from the station in the car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favour（善意的行為）along,”she said.

When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t accept. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along,” she said.

35. The writer changed his mind after waiting 30 minutes because________.

A. he became impatient and a bit worried

B. a taxi ride would be more comfortable

A. would drive someone home       B. would help someone in need

C. would keep her in memory        D. would give the money to others
