(2010届英语双语报第1期)

Dear Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul,

Most people don't really know what pressures a typical teenager has to go through.Sure,our parents and grandparents were once teens,but things are so different now.It has never been tougher to be a teenager.

It had never been more important to be in the “right group” or to have the “right brand” of shoes.And those are the easy things to deal with.We also face problems with family,friends,relationships and school pressures.

When it gets to be too much,I turn to my friends.One friend I could not live without is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul.Your books have been so inspiring to me and have helped me to deal with and understand the problems I go through.

For example,I went through a confusing time with my friends when we got to junior high.I had known these friends since kindergarten,and when we began junior high it seemed like some of them began to change.We started hanging out with different groups,and we slowly grew so far apart that it seemed as if we had never been friends.I felt confused and hurt.

Sometime during this period I read the story Friends Forever in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Ⅱ.I felt so much better after reading it.It was like a weight had been lifted from me when I realized that many friendships went through changes and that we weren't the only friends to experience them. People change,but that doesn't mean we have to lose the friendships we once shared.My friends and I still spend time together when we can and care about each other a lot.That things are different doesn't mean I have to forget about all the good times we had.I will always keep the memories in a safe place in my heart.

Sincerely, Peter

You may be surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass,dirt and water.

Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature,and now scientists are starting to catch up.According to research in recent years,just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients' recovery and reduce illness rates among office workers.Also,exposure to wildlife,horseback riding,hiking,camping and farms can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children.

Much of this type of research is focusing on children,and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature.

Obesity (肥胖).Rates of childhood obesity have grown sharply in recent years,and this is partly because of reduced outdoor activity time.Increasing the time students spend learning about nature,both in and outside the classroom,would help solve this problem.Such lessons are often more attractive for students and often lead them to become more active outside.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)(注意力缺失症).Exposure to ordinary natural settings in the course of common after-school and weekend activities may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children.Participation in green activities—such as nature walks—helped ADHD patients from a wide range of backgrounds

to stay focused and complete tasks.

Stress.Access to nature,even houseplants,can help children cope with stress. Depression and seasonal emotional disorder.Major depression requires medical treatment,but physical activity,especially outdoors,can help ease symptoms.For your average case of winter blues,experts suggest spending time outside every day and,if possible,taking the family to a sunny vacation spot in mid-winter.

Experts emphasize that you needn't go to wilderness preserves to enjoy nature's benefits—simply walking in a city park or growing in a rooftop garden can make a difference.

语篇解读:本文旨在说明接触大自然有利于我们的身体健康。 60.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

A.Ancient people were not familiar with the healing power of nature. B.Modern people are not familiar with the healing power of nature. C.The healing power of nature works better on children. D.The healing power of nature works better on office workers.

解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“You may be surprised to learn”和第二段“Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature,and now scientists are starting to catch up”,可知B项为正确答案。 答案:B

61.Exposure to green areas in neighborhoods can . A.improve children's skills at learning B.help reduce ADHD symptoms C.treat major depression D.cure winter blues

解析:推理判断题。根据第五段的“Exposure to ordinary natural settings in the course of common after-school...may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children”,可知B项为正确答案。 答案:B

62.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.You can only enjoy nature's benefits in the wilderness. B.A common natural setting is beneficial to your health. C.A city park and a rooftop garden have different benefits.

D.Too many people in the wilderness will reduce the benefits of nature.

解析:推理判断题。从最后一段中的“a city park”和“a rooftop garden”,可知普通的自然环境对健康也有好处,而非一定要是wilderness preserves才能有利健康。 答案:B

63.Who are the intended readers of the passage? A.Parents. B.Children. C.Office workers. D.People in general.

解析:推理判断题。文章主要介绍了大自然在治疗疾病,尤其是一些儿童常见病症中的作用,并没有特定的读者群。 答案:D

C

(2009·重庆第一次诊断)New York—Wednesday,October fifteenth,is the first Global Hand Washing Day.Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments.These include after using the toilet,after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap.The goal,they say,is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(病菌).They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap.Rub it into all areas,including under the fingernails.Then,rinse well under running water.Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth.

The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing.Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.

(2009·南昌调研) Many people wonder why the United States has been a hot spot for Chinese students for years,despite its extremely strict visa policy.On the other hand,China's rise as an economic powerhouse is resulting in a rapid expansion of its higher education system,making it the faster-growing destination for American foreign exchange students.

Recently,according to a study by the Institute of International Education,a research organization based in New York,the number of American students seeking higher education in China has never been greater,increasing by 90 percent from 2002 to 2004.Alan Goodman,president of the institute,believes that the phenomenon lies in the pace of change in China,which is spending billions of dollars to expend and transform its higher educational facilities into world-class institutions.

“China is a job market,”said Professor Chou,professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University.“Twenty years ago,only those interested in Chinese literature would study Chinese language.Now all professors have opened up.”

China now ranks 9th as a host destination for American students,advancing from the

No.12 spot it held a year earlier.The study revealed that Britain continues to be the leading destination,attracting 16.8 percent of all American students who study abroad.On the other hand,in the 2004~2005 academic year,China sent more than 62,000 students to the United States,nearly 60 percent more than a decade earlier.According to the study,the Chinese now make up 11 percent of foreign students in the United States,the second-largest group behind students from India.

68.From the first paragraph,we know that for many years Chinese students want to go to the US but .

A.Chinese government refuses to give a visa B.it is extremely difficult to get a visa C.it results in a rapid expansion D.China becomes a fast-growing country

Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably (必然地) to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula (公式) , and can anyone develop it?

At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who's Who in America.Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.

Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.

To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of

what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”

Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.

Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance,intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you'll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who's Who someday.
