Healthy Habits, Healthy Body 　　Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can't find anything wrong with you?

Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. 　　The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities. 　　As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)—that are important to the body. 　　　Nutrition(营养)experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health. 　　Choose the best answer according to the passage: 1．According to this passage, which of the following is right?

One day, I caught him coughing a wad of blood-stained phlegm into the toilet.How long have you been doing that? ” I said."What's for dinner? ” he said!"I'm taking you to the doctor”.Even though Baba was a manager at the gas station, the owner hadn't offered him health insurance, and Baba, in his recklessness, hadn't insisted. So I took him to the county hospital in San Jose. The sallow, puffy-eyed doctor who saw us introduced himself as a second-year resident. "He looks younger than you and sicker than me, ” Buba grumbled. The resident sent us down for a chest X-ray. When the nurse called us back in, the resident was filling out a form."Take this to the front desk, he said, scribbling quickly."What is it? ”I asked."A referral.” Scribble scribble."For what? "Pulmonary clinic.”"What's that? ”He gave mo a quick glance. Pushed up his glasses. Began scribbling again. ” He's got a spot on his right lung. I want them to check it out.”"A spot? ” I said, the room suddenly too small."Cancer? "Baba added casually!"Possible. It's suspicious, anyway, " the doctor muttered!"Can't you tell us more? " I asked."Not really. Need a CAT scan first, then see the lung doctor. " He handed me the referral form." You said your father smokes, right? ""Yes."He nodded. Looked from me to Baba and back again. "They'll call you within two weeks."I wanted to ask him how I was supposed to live with that word, "suspicious, " for two whole weeks. How was I supposed eat, work, study? How could he send me home with that word? l took the form and turned it in. That night. I waited until Baba fell asleep, and then folded a blanket. I used it as a prayer rug. Bowing my head to the ground, I recited half-forgotten verses from the Koran-verses the mullah had made us commit to memory in Kabul—and asked for kindness from a God I wasn't sure existed. I envied the mullah now, envied his faith and certain.The visit with the pulmonologist, Dr. Schneider, was going well until Baba asked him where he was from Dr. Schneider said Russia. Baba lost it."Excuse us, Doctor, I said, pulling Baba aside. Dr. Schneider smiled and stood back, stethoscope still in hand."Baba, I read Dr, Schneider's biography in the waiting room. He was born in Michigan. Michigan!He's American, a lot more American than you and I will ever be.""I don't care where he was born, he's Roussi, " Baba said, grimacing like it was a dirty word. "His parents were Roussi, his grandparents were Roussi. I swear on your mother's face I'll break his arm if he tries to touch me.""Dr. Schneider's parents fled from Shorawi, don't you see? They escaped!"But Baba would hear none of it. Sometimes I think the only thing he loved as much as his late wife was Afghanistan, his late country. I almost screamed with frustration. Instead, I sighed and turned to Dr.Schneider. "I'm sorry, Doctor. This isn't going to work out."The next pulmonologist, Dr. Amani, was Iranian and Baba approved Dr. Amani, a soft-spoken man with a crooked mustache and a mane of gray hair, told us he had reviewed the CAT scan results and that he would have to perform a procedure called a bronchoscopy to get a piece of the lung mass for pathology.He scheduled it for the following week. I thanked him as I helped Baba out of the office, thinking that now I had to live a whole week with this new word, "mass, " an even more ominous word than "suspicious."It turned out that like Satan, cancer had many names. Baba's was called "Oat Call Carcinoma." Advanced. Inoperable, Baba asked Dr. Amani for a prognosis. Dr. Amani bit his lip, used the word "grave. " "There is chemotherapy, of course, " he said. "But it would only be palliative, ""What does that mean? " Baba asked, Dr. Amani sighed. "It means it wouldn't change the outcome, just prolong it. ""That's a clear answer, Dr. Amani. Thank you for that, " Baba said. "But no chemo-medication for me.""But Baba-""Don't you challenge me in public, Amir. Ever. Who do you think you are? "1.What is the main conflict between Amir and Baba? 2.How do you understand the underline sentence "Baba lost it"? 3.How did Amir feel for what was happening to Baba? Find evidence to support your analysis.4.What was Baba's character according to the passage above? Find evidence to support to opinions.5.Please give a title to the story above.

When Toni Morrison died in 2019, the world lost one of its most influential authors. But Morrizon was not an early success. Her first novel was not published until she was 39, and her last appeared when she was 84. And Morrison was not _26_ in this regard. Numerous writers produce masterpieces well into their 70s and beyond. Such _27_ accomplishments highlight an important point. Our capacity to speak, write and learn new vocabulary does not seem to _8_ with age. Our eyesight may dim and our recall may weaken, but, by comparison, our ability to produce and to _9_ language is well preserved into older adulthood. Indeed, the latest research that has emerged on language and aging shows that language mastery is a _30 _ that we begin as infants and continue on for the rest of our lives. Some aspects of our language abilities, such as our knowledge of word meanings,_31_ improve during middle and late adulthood. One study, for example, found that adults over sixty had an average vocabulary size of over 21,000 words. The researchers also studied a_32_ of college students and found that their average vocabulary contained 33 16,000 words. In another study, older adults, with an average age of 75,_34 _ better than participants in their youth or middle years on tasks that required them to determine the meaning of words. Thus, language seems to be a skill that, contrary to what many might _35_, does not weaken with age.

Ray Meyer was laid off from his job as a regional bank manager almost three years ago now. He finally gave in and started working with a temp agency. On the road back to work, a new job isn’t the final destination. It’s just a stopping point along the way.“Good morning, this is Ray. I’m on break from the temporary job that I have,” Meyer says in a recording made in the parking lot outside of his current workplace. “It’s good to be out and about and it’s certainly good to be in the morning traffic with everybody else.”Meyer is sitting in his purple Dodge Caravan. There’s a rust spot on the door, and it needs repairs more often than it used to. When Meyer bought it 14 years ago he never imagined he’d still have it today. But he also never imagined he’d be working for a temp agency making 15 an hour.“I just am finding that these temporary jobs that I’m working on tend to treat their temporary employees differently, and I guess because we’re disposable,” he says.Meyer is still searching for a job in banking. He knows he won’t make what he did before, and likely wouldn’t even be in management. But it would still be so much better than this temp work.“My job just dismissed out last Thursday night. But the job didn’t tell me until I got home,” Meyer says. “The people I’m working through called me and let me know that I didn’t need to go back.”Meyer is disappointed, but there’s something more. The uncertainty of temp work is gnawing away at (使烦恼) him. It’s like every few months he relives his layoff.He says he takes his things home every night because he never knows if his key will work the next day. He’d never say it this way, but you can tell Meyer is still traumatized (使受精神创伤) by the loss of his banking job back in 2008.“I don’t know that I’ll ever feel safe again,” Meyer says. “Before, I felt like I was doing a good job and they pulled the rug right out from under me, and I just didn’t see it coming.”Meyer’s current temp job is supposed to last through October, but he isn’t counting on it going past September.1. What can be inferred from the sentence “On the road back to work, a new job isn’t the final destination.”(Para. 1)?A) Meyer has lost confidence in finding a job.B) Meyer has many choices in job hunting.C) Meyer finds it difficult to secure a permanent job. D) Meyer knows he will finally retire from his job.2. What do we know about Meyer and his Dodge Caravan according to the passage?A) He bought it many years ago and it still works very well now.B) He is working hard to make money, trying to buy a new car.C) He cannot afford the repairs although it is in a terrible condition. D) He would not use the car because there’s a rust spot on the door.3. Which of the following is not true about Meyer’s job according to the passage?A) He will probably lose his present job not long from now.B) He is still interested in a job in banking management.C) He changes his job constantly and every job can not last long.D) He was just laid off last week because his key didn’t work the next day. 4. When Meyer says, “I just am finding… I guess because we’re disposable,” (Para. 4) he probably means that ________.A) employers are glad to employ people like himB) people like him are treated with prejudice C) employers find people like him dissatisfyingD) people like him are lacking in working skills5. This passage is intended to show ________ of people like Meyer.A) disappointmentB) the ideal and wishesC) loss of beliefD) the anxiety and uncertainty
