　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument，a misunderstanding，the way we were raised，or some other painful events.Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.

　　A friend of mine，recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son for almost three years.She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first.When I suggested that she be the one to reach out，she said，“I can’t do that.He’s the one who should apologize.”After a little gentle encouragement，however，she did decide to be the first one to reach out.To her amazement，her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own.As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out，everyone wins.

　　Whenever we hold on to our anger，we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds.We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness.They are not.If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go and reach out.Let other people be right.This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong.Everything will be fine.You’ll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of letting others be right.

　　You’ll also notice that，as you reach out and let others be “right”，they will become less defensive and more loving toward you.They might even reach back.But，if for some reason they don’t，that’s okay too.You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world，and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.

　　1．The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “

　　”．

　　A．recover

　　B．develop

　　C．accept

　　D．replace

　　2．In the author’s opinion，we hold on to our anger often because we think

　　.

　　3．The best thing to do after a quarrel is to

　　.

　　4．What would be the best title for the passage?

　　With the development of society，the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before.However，every coin has two sides.Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the statistics.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

　　Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown­ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take­away food.

　　There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree to this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives.

　　There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣)，but it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

　　The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

　　5．What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”？

　　A．Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.

　　B．Asking young children to walk to school every day.

　　C．Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.

　　D．Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.

　　6．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

　　7．The author writes the passage to

　　.

　　A．show people a social problem

　　B．provide facts for government

　　C．advise solutions to a problem

　　D．compare opinions with people

　　8．The underlined word “diversified” in the first paragraph most probably means “

　　”．

　　A．various

　　B．difficult

　　C．expensive

　　D．available

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

　　Everyone is forgetful，but as we age，we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.

　　9

　　Read on for some techniques worth trying.

　　1．

　　10

　　People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆症)，according to a recent study.

　　11

　　Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short­term goals appear to do better.In other words，keep your brain looking forward.

　　2．Go for a walk.

　　Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels.In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.

　　12

　　3．Learn something new.

　　Take a Spanish class online，join a drawing club，or learn to play cards.A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.

　　13

　　Or go dancing with your friends.

　　A．Focus on the future.

　　B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.

　　C．It should be something like learning gardening.

　　D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

　　E．But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life­changing events.

　　F．Luckily，research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

　　G．In other words，when you take care of your body，you take care of your brain.
