[1]Losing weight is hard enough. Keeping it off is even harder. Now a new study by researchers at Penn State suggests that the techniques that work for losing weight aren’t necessarily the same as those that help keep you slim.
[2]First the researchers surveyed over 1,100 people who had achieved significant weight loss and maintained it. The researchers identified 36 weight-loss and weight-maintenance practices that at least10% of the group used.
[3]Then the researchers conducted a national telephone survey of overweight people who had tried to lose weight and keep it off with different success: about 11% reported successfully losing weight, and 21% were able to maintain that loss for at least a year.
[4]The survey found people who        did so by participating in weight loss programs, cutting back on sugar, eating healthy snacks, not skipping meals and participating in different types of exercise.
[5]Still, say many nutrition and obesity experts. The basic principles of weight loss and maintenance are the same; you have to eat a healthy diet and increase your exercise. People who lose weight and keep it off tend to eat significantly healthier foods and do a lot more exercise than the average American.
[6]But what may maintain between weight-loss and maintenance is a person’s attitude; rather than focusing on actively losing weight in the short term. People have to start focusing on long-term, permanent lifestyle changes and behaviors, if they want to maintain the weight that’s been lost. The key to success, experts agree, is motivation, not necessarily the particulars of your weight-loss program.

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just finished his course from a great painter. He wanted to assess his skills, so he decided to display one of his best works on a busy street.
He put his painting at a busy street-crossing. And below it a board read — "Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes in my work.   65 "
When he came back in the evening to collect his painting, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses.
    66  He burst into tears and said sadly, "I'm useless and if this is what I have learned to
paint, I'm not worth teaching."
The master smiled and suggested, "My son, I will prove that you are a great artist." The master told him, "Just paint the same painting once again and give it to me."
Then they went to the same street the next morning and displayed the same painting. The master took out another board which read — "Gentleman, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do
me a favor.   67 "The master and the young painter went back home.
They visited the place in the evening. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done!   68  If you want to help people improve their behaviors, it is worth investing your effort in learning how to help people change their behaviors, attitudes and skills. Also, always remember not to get carried away or judge yourself by someone else's criticism and feel depressed as you are the best judge to judge yourself!
A.It is easy to criticize, but difficult to improve.
B.Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.
C.Discouraged and broken, he ran to his master's place.
D.If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it.
E. Criticizing has the function of helping people improve themselves.

[1] Teenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults, a new study suggests. It’s not clear, researchers say, whether television itself is the reason, but it is possible that things like snacking(吃零食) in front of the TV or seeing ads for junk food influence young people’s diets.
[2] The study included nearly 1,400 high school students. It showed that those who watched TV for five hours or more everyday had less-healthy diets than their students five years later. As a group, they ate fewer fruits and vegetables, but ate more fast food, snack products and fried foods.
[3] "We’re not able to tell why," lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson said. "But we do have some speculations." People who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may have more snacks. It may influence their long-term diet quality. It’s also possible that TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks make teenagers eat more of those foods. TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.
[4] The researchers found a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality of the young. The heaviest TV viewers              , and those who’d watched fewer than two hours everyday had the most fruits, vegetables.
[5] According to Barr-Anderson, the findings support experts’ advice that children should watch no more than two hours of television everyday. "Parents should cut the TV time," Barr-Anderson said. She advised that parents set a good example by eating right, being physically active and controlling their own TV time.
小題1: Complete the following sentences according to the underlined one in paragraph 3. (no more than 5 words)
Some children may spend much time watching TV instead of                             .

Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes, used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely(暗中地) since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.
The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of New Delhi, is typical of practitioners(從業(yè)者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even $1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”
Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that anger many snake charmers.
“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,” said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.
小題1: What do snake charmers usually do in India? (no more than 8 words) (2 marks)
小題2: How long will a saperas be in prison if he is caught during the ban? (no more than 3 words) (2 marks)
 
小題3:For what purpose will snake charmers in India be retrained as wildlife teachers?(no more than 10 words) (3 marks)
 
小題4:According to the passage, what will make snake charmers angry? (no more than 11 words) (3 marks)

閱讀下面文章,回答有關(guān)小題,注意括號內(nèi)的詞數(shù)。
Do you have a friend who is upset about his or her parent’s drinking? You want to do something to help, but what? Your friend may not talk about this with you, but you can still be a good friend. One out of four children lives with at least one adult who has alcoholism, so your friend is not alone.
●Be a good listener. Your friend may need someone to talk to. Listen to your friend and suggest that she or he talk to a trusted adult in addition to talking to you .You can offer a good listening ear, but sometimes an adult is needed for more serious things. Maybe you can suggest a caring adult for your friend to talk to, such as a teacher, a neighbor, or a grandparent. He will listen and support your friend, and he will not hurt your friend or put your friend down.
●Don’t spread gossip(閑話) about your friend’s family. Its okay to tell your parents or another trusted adult what is going on, but respect your friends right by not telling other kids in your class.
●Ask your parents if your friend ___________your house, and then invite your friend over for enjoyable activities or to do homework together. Sometimes your friend might just need to get away and have fun being a kid.
●Don’t ride in a car when a friend’s parent has been drinking if you can avoid it. It is not safe. Call your parents, walk, or try to get a ride with an adult you know who has not been drinking. If you must get in the car with a drinking driver, sit in the middle of the back seat with your seat belt fastened. Lock your doors and try to stay calm.

[1] What does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
[2] First of all , successful language learners are independent learners . They do not depend on the book or the teacher . Instead of waiting for teachers to explain , they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves . They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
[3] Secondly , successful language learning is active learning . Therefore , successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but              . They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate . They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things . They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult , they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete . It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
[4] Finally ,successful language learners are learners with a purpose . They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.

[1]It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners.Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.They hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your pace for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will notice your mistake. When such moments occur, don't_______.Just continue as if nothing happened.
[2]Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech—” I Have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (結(jié)巴) over his words twice during the speech.Most likely, however, you don't remember.Why? Because you were concentrating your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
[3]People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition.But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer.They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.
[4]As you work on your speech, don't worry about being imperfect.Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
小題1:What's the main idea of this passage? ( no more than 10 words )
小題2:Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
It doesn't matter that you do_______________________during a speech.
小題3:Please fill in the blank with a proper phrase in Paragraph 1.( no more than 5 words )
小題4:Why do people most likely to forget the flaw( 瑕疵.) in Martin Luther King's speech?
( no more than 16 words)
小題5:What does the underlined word "They" ( Line 3, Paragraph 3 ) refer to? ( no more than 3 words )
