All my friends at school smoked. My dad smoked; he didn’t want me to smoke but my friends kept saying I was stupid. They asked when I was going to grow up. So I started when I was sixteen and after a month I couldn’t stop. But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me. I couldn’t run far, and I coughed every morning. I got very ill and decided to stop. It wasn’t easy, but now I’ve done it, and I feel better. Now I have money for other things.

If you smoke, you are twice as likely to die from a heart attack. And the more you smoke, the earlier the heart attack is likely to be. For example, a 50-year-old who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the same age.

What does smoking do to the heart? First of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure. The cigarette smoke also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. Finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.

So if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy –– not to smoke. Don’t copy your friends and other people who smoke. If you smoke, find out how to stop. Stopping isn’t easy, but you’ll be healthier, and .... 1. Who is more likely to have heart disease? A. A smoke

B. A non-smoker

C. A 50-year-old person

2. What does the writer think of smoking? A. It is good for his health B. Smoking is bad for him

C. Is it neither good nor bad for his heath

3. What happens after the writer stopped smoking?

A. He becomes rich B. He has more friends

C. He becomes healthier and has money to do other things.

In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu above the counter, and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There’s no need to leave a tip.

In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier as you leave. A diner is like a coffee shop but usually looks like a railway carriage.

In a family restaurant the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. If you don’t eat everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip.

In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you don’t like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.

（七） If you ask Daniel Radcliffe who acted Harry Potter to pick a special moment from the last year of his life, you will find it almost impossible. “Oh, wow, that’s really difficult,” he says with a smile.

“There have been so many things, so many memories that at times it’s hard to recall them all,” says Daniel. “But I guess one of the best ones was the London premiere for Tbe Pbilosopber’s Stone. It was just amazing, one of the best nights of my life.”

“But I’ve had such a great time doing Tbe Cbamber of Secrets. I love doing the work. I love meeting new people and being part of the team. It’s been great.”

Daniel has changed. He turned 14 in July, 2002. He is taller, his voice is deeper and his frame is filling out as he begins his teenage years, and he has become an excellent actor, too. Daniel was born in London where his father, Alan, worked as an agent and his mother, Marcia, as a casting director, and both have been an essential guiding influence on their only child.

根据短文内容，判断正误。正确的用“T”表示，错误的用“F”表示 1. Daniel Radcliff is fifteen years old in 2003.

2. Daniel didn’t have many special moments in 2002.

3. One of his best memories was the London premiere for 7 Pbilosopber’s Stone. 4. Daniel likes making friends.

David Albright is a 13-year-old boy. He helps people who need food by baking muffins.

“The fact that a young person of his age would bake muffins himself proves (证明) his character,” said Toni Dolan, an officer of a center that helps the homeless. “He knows everyone isn’t living the life that he and his friends at school enjoy. To the people who are down, it means a lot to them,” he added.

“He dislikes drawing others’ attention,” said Frank Lacerenza, principal (校长) of David’s school. “For the last several years, he’s been collecting Halloween costumes for kids in the city,” Lacerenza said. “He’s silent, so most people don’t see the good things that he does. They are acts of true, unselfish compassion (无私的同情).”

It all began when David was 8. “It was the day after Christmas,” David said. “It was snowing heavily. We were driving past the homeless shelter (避难所). We saw a man sleeping in an old truck. He was trying to keep the snow from coming in through a broken window. We found out how they needed muffins, coffee, clothes and so on. I thought that would be a nice thing to do, so I started making muffins.”

Since then he’s been baking 24 muffins a week for the shelter. And after the muffins are ready, his mom gives him a lift to hand them out. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
