A

  Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

  Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the color1 s. Research suggests warm color1 s fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm color1 s like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold color1 s make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

  Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

  Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent.   And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

21.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.

A. their home comforts         B. their body shape        C. house buying    D. healthy diets

22.A home environment in blue can help people_________.

A.digest food better    B.reduce food intake   C.burn more calories   D.regain their appetites

23.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A.Eat quickly.                     B.Play fast music. 

C.Use smaller spoons.   D.Turn down the lights.

24.What can be a suitable title for the test?

A. Is Your House Making You Fat?    

B.Ways of Serving Dinner

C.Effects of Self-Consciousness    

 D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

  Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as £172,000 a year.

  The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

  By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.

  To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48,98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.

  It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 per cent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

  The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

25. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

A. £30,000.         B. £142,000.        C. £172,000.        C. £202,000.

26. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from        .

A. emotional demand    B. low pay for work    C. heavy workload     D. lack of training

27. What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A. mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.

B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.

D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.

28. What can we conclude from the study?

A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.

B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.

C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.

D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

C

Let’s face it: Teenagers spend hours texting, socializing on Facebook and playing video games. And it’s driving their parents nuts.

Sure, there are real dangers connected with all this screen time—everything from cyberbullying(网络欺凌) to couch-potato obesity. Not to mention driving while texting, and shortened attention spans(持续时间).

Douglas Gentile, who studies the effects of media on children, says texting, Facebook and video games are not naturally bad. Nor are they naturally better or worse than watching TV, although they do lead to different risks, such as cyberbullying.

But research has shown that the more time kids spend in front of screens—whether it’s TV or instant-messaging—the worse their school performances are. “That doesn’t mean it’s true for every kid, but it makes sense, that for every hour a kid is playing video games, it’s an hour that they’re not doing homework or reading or exploring or creating,” he said. If screen time is taking the place of doing their homework, that’s bad. But if their homework is done, well, so what?

The study also found that the more time kids spend with media, the lower their grades and levels of personal satisfaction are. Gentile said the influence of screen time on school work can be reduced by what he calls “protective factors”. Those might include good teachers and a high-performing school, love of reading, coming from a family where education is valued. “If you had all these protective factors, then that one little risk factor, who cares?”

One thing parents should worry about is the way electronic devices encourage multitasking（多任务处理).

“As adults, your response speeds up, you’re quicker to look over your shoulder and notice little noises or lights. However this is not what the kids need when they get to the classroom. Scanning to see when the next message comes may not be good for kids. The more distractions(分心的事物) you have, the worse your performance is.” Getting kids to turn off their phones, iPods in order to let them concentrate（集中) on homework is a fight worth having.

29. What statement may Gentile agree to?

A. Kids get bad marks when using Facebook.   

B. TV or texting affects kids equally.

C. Kids prefer video games to books.        

 D. Watching TV is better than playing video games.

30. By saying “one little risk factor”, Gentile referred to ________

 A. love for reading     B. valuing education 

 C. screen time             D. good teachers

31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.

A. kids can give quick answer to questions if texting

B. Multitasks aren’t really good for every kid

C. electric devices increase the attention of kids

D. kids perform well if doing many tasks together

32. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Are kids suffering cyber bullying on Facebook?

B. Are texting and Facebook worse for teens than TV?

C. Are kids willing to turn off their electric devices?

D. Are texting causing kids to lose interest in reading?

D

  The European Union on Monday prohibited the use of X-ray body scanners (扫描仪）in European airports, parting ways with the U. S. Transportation Security Administration, which has used hundreds of the scanners as a way to screen millions of airline passengers for explosives hidden under clothing.

  The European Commission, which enforces common policies of the EU’s 27 member countries, adopted the rule "in order not to risk doing harm to citizens' health and safety."

  As a ProPublica/PBS NewsHour investigation detailed earlier this month, X-ray body scanners use ionizing radiation (电离辐射)，a form of energy that has been shown to damage DMA and cause cancer. Although the amount of radiation is extremely low, equal to the radiation a person would receive in a few minutes of flying, several research studies have concluded that a small number of cancer cases would result from scanning hundreds of millions of passengers a year.

  European countries will be allowed to use an alternative body scanner relying on radio frequency waves, which have not been linked to cancer. The U. S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has also used hundreds of those machines —known as millimeter-wave scanners —in U. S. airports. But unlike Europe, it has decided to use both types of scanners.

  The TSA would not comment specifically on the EU 's decision. But in a statement, TSA spokesman Mike McCarthy said, "As one of our many layers of security, TSA uses the most advanced technology available to provide the best opportunity to detect dangerous items, such as explosives.

  “ We strictly test our technology to ensure it meets our high detection and safety standards before it is placed in airports," he continued. "Since January 2010, advanced imaging technology has detected more than 300 dangerous or illegal items on passengers inU. S. airports nationwide."

  Body scanners have been controversial (有争议的）in the United States since they were first used in prisons in the late 1990s and then in airports for tests after 9/11.

33. Why did the European prohibit the use of X-ray scanners in European airports?

A. Because they are made in the USA. B. Because they are not effective in use.

C- Because they might do harm to passengers. D. Because their radiation is extremely low.

34. Which of the following is true about the new body scanners to be used in Europe?.

A. They will risk doing harm to passengers. 

B. They use ionizing radiation heavily.

C. Their radiation is extremely high.

 D. They won't risk causing cancer.

35. What can we infer from TSA’s statement?

A. The TSA will stop using the X-ray scanners.     

  B. The TSA won't use EU’s alternative scanners.

C. The EU’s alternative scanners are not advanced. 

 D. The X-ray scanners are safe and effective.

Finnish Translation: Be Aware of False Friends

False friends, those tricky words that are a translator’s enemy and that can be found in almost every document we translate, also exist between English and Finnish.      36    

So, what’s a false friend? Well, as many of you might know, a false friend (from the French faux amis) is a word or a phrase that shares a similar written form in two languages, but which has different meanings.   37   When you see them, you might assume they have the same meaning as a similar word in your native language.

38 Even professional translators can be misled by a false friend. That’s why, as a translator, it’s necessary to be familiar with them. Remember that when it comes to translation, ‘false friends are worse than bitter enemies’, as the Scottish proverb says, and you should keep your eyes open, because they might be waiting for you around every corner.

It seems no language is free of false friends. 39 During the years I’ve been working as a translator, I’ve come across many false friends; they were in that urgent assignment, or that translation I finished off without first having my coffee, trying to confuse me. 40 Therefore, I would like to help you in your war against false friends by sharing some of them with you.

A.The Finnish language is no exception.

B.Research key words while doing translation.

C.This is the first of a two-part series on the topic.

D.Therefore, false friends can cause a lot of problems.

E.Luckily, I was able to spot them and translate them properly.

F.Sometimes, even fluent users of a language can confuse them.

G.So you should avoid a nightmare caused by it during your next translation project.

72.Dear Headmaster,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had on whether the school should organize a spring outing for the students.

Opinions on the question are divided as follows: 70％ of the students think that the school should organize the spring outing. They believe that the spring outing can make them enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature, which can broaden our vision and fill us with more knowledge. They also say that the air in the open fields is fresher. What’s more, fresh air does a lot of good to our health.

On the other hand, the rest don’t like the idea of going out for a spring outing. In their opinion, time is very precious, so they have to grasp every minute to work hard at their lessons. Traveling costs much money. In that case, it will add to their families’ burden. Above all, no one can be sure of the safety of every student.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours truly

Li Hua
