Ⅰ.完形填空
Lose-Win is weak. It's easy to get steps on. It's easy to be the nice guy. It's easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.
A girl named Jenny once told me about her __1__ in the world of Lose-Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke __2__:
My __3__ with my mom all started one day __4__ she said to me sarcastically (讽刺地),“Wow, you're sure sassy (时髦的) today. ” I__5__ it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never __6__ back to her. So every time she would say something __7__ I disagreed with her, I would just say, “Okay,__8__ you want, Mom.”
But I really got cold quickly. And my __9__ began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that's __10__,”and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don't you ever __11__?”I thought. But I didn't say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was __12__ upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I __13__ her how important it was to me. At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to __14__. You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it's __15__ than fighting. Well, I'm sick of it. ” This all came as a __16__ to her.
After my blow-up, we felt like we were __17__ all over in our relationship. But it's getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always __18__ my feelings with her.
If you adopt Lose-Win as your basic __19__ toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You'll also be __20__ your true feelings deep inside. And that's not healthy.
1.A.wanderingsB.disappointment
C.lessons
D.helplessness

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Lacking of parent willpower may contribute more to juvenile obesity than under-exercising or overeating.
Research suggests that having overweight parents is a big influence ( 影响) upon a child' s weight, with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times more likely to be overweight themselves.
The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate over childhood obesity. The Prime Minister, John Howard, last week decided that $116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity, while the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements.
Clare Collins' a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole
families. “If we can't get parents to take action against their own weight problems, then we can't expect to influence their kids,” she said.
However, Professor Louise Baur from the Children's Hospital at Westmead, doubts whether adult education programs offer any solution to weight problems. “Many parents know they need to lose weight and they know it influences their kids, but they lack the willpower to do anything about it.”
The 10-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight. Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight.
The president of the Australasian Society for the. Study of Obesity, Associate Professor Gary Wittert, said parents needed help in doing their jobs and the Opposition Party's policy (政策) might be on the right track.
“We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe, so we make law against it,” he said.“Obesity is a major public health concern, so why shouldn't we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads?”
1.What does the underlined phrase “juvenile obesity” mean?
A.Adult education.
B.Childhood overweight.
C.Parents' influence.
D.Growing pains.
【答案与解析】 B 词义推测题。根据第2段“Research suggests that having overweight parents is a big influence upon a child's weight, with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times more likely to be overweight themselves”可猜测出juvenile obesity的意思是“儿童过于肥胖”。
2.Which is TRUE about the programs supported by the Prime Minister?
A.Debates on them will become less fierce.
B.They will be effective in dealing with obesity.
C.A large sum of money will be spent on them.D.They will influence people' s way of life.
【答案与解析】 C 推断题。根据第3段“The Prime Minister,John Howard,last week decided that$116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity”可判断C项正确。
3.Both Collins and Baur believe that overweight parents________.
A.will come up with better solutions
B.will help with their children' s education
C.should be more active in reducing weight
D.should carry out at least 10 years' study
【答案与解析】 C 推断题。根据第4段和第5段的内容可判断出Collins和Baur相信,肥胖的父母亲应该更加积极地减肥。
4.According to some experts, the Opposition Party's policy________.
A.can help fight against unemployment
B.may protect kids from unhealthy food ads
C.should be brought back to the right track
D.will work well to prevent traffic accidents
【答案与解析】 B 推断题。根据最后两段的内容可推断出反对党的政策是保护孩子不受不健康的食物广告的伤害。
Ⅳ.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is an English saying:“__1__” Until recently, few people take the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. __2__
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise.
__3__ If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time
