【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her work shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books had been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not satisfied with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden GateBridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (獨(dú)特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
（1）Danielle Steel is different from other writers because ________.
A.she can write several books at the same time
B.she often does some research before writing a book
C.she is one of the most popular American women writers
D.she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break
（2）Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know ________.
A.how to deal with affairs at school
B.what to do if Max and Martha die
C.what to do when new babies are born into their families
D.how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes
（3）One of Danielle Steel's achievements is that ________.
A.some TV plays were based on her books
B.her picture books attracted a lot of young men
C.one of her books became a best-seller in 1998
D.she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records
（4）We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel ________.
A.lives an exciting life
B.values her readers a lot
C.writes about quiet women
D.is pleased with her achievements

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）C
（4）B

⑶推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段“Her 1998 book about the death of her were shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out.”可知她的一本書在1998年成為最暢銷的書。所以答案是C

⑷推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段“Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and kept in touch with them by e-mail.”可知Danielle Steel把她的讀者當(dāng)成最重要的資源,所以她很珍視這些讀者。所以答案是B

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (斷奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.
Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.
After 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winterborn mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions（破壞） in their biological clocks.
The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders.
“We know that the biological clock regulates(管理) mood in humans,” said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism (機(jī)制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”
（1）How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?
A.Four.
B.Five.
C.Six.
D.Seven.
（2）What's the main idea of the text?
A.The biological clock regulates mood in humans.
B.People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.
C.Being born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.
D.The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.
（3）The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ________.
A.divided
B.torn
C.hit
D.ended
（4）Who is probably the reader of the passage?
A.A jobhunter.
B.A student in the university.
C.A newlymarried couple.
D.An experienced dentist.

Any type of regular, physical activity can improve your fitness and your health.
Exercise should be a regular part of your day, like brushing your teeth, eating and sleeping. It can be in gym class, joining a sports team, or working out on your own. Keep the following tips in mind:
A good attitude is important. Find an activity that you think is fun. You are more likely to stick with it if you choose something you like. A lot of people find it's more fun to exercise with someone else, so see if you can find a friend or family member to be active with you.
Take it one step at a time. For example, walk or ride your bike to school. Get on or off the bus several blocks away and walk the rest of the way. Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
Get your heart pumping. Whatever you choose, make sure it includes aerobic (有氧的) activity that makes you breathe harder and increases your heart rate. This is the best type of exercise because it increases your fitness level and makes your heart work better. Examples of aerobic activities are basketball, running, or swimming.
Don't forget to warm up with some easy exercises or stretching (拉伸) before you do any physical activity. It is also important to stretch out after you exercise to cool down your muscles.
A. Do the activity as often as possible, but don't exercise to the point of pain.
B. The most important thing is that you keep moving!
C. Make physical activity a habit.
D. Small changes can add up to better fitness.
E. Stay positive and have fun.

【題目】There is no doubt that going without sleep for too long makes us feel terrible, and that getting a good night’s sleep can make us feel ready to take on the world. 【1】 Here are some top tips on getting the most out of the night.

【2】 You’d better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around.

Keep your bedroom dark. To get a good night’s sleep, you need a bedroom that is pleasant, inviting and welcoming. 【3】 This is because the all important sleep-inducing (催眠) hormone melatonin is extremely sensitive to light, and may not be produced optimally (最佳的) unless it’s completely dark.

【4】 The foundation of good sleep is a comfortable bed. The right mattress (床墊) can make the difference between a refreshing night’s sleep and poor quality sleep resulting in tiredness and fatigue.

Get into a relaxed state. 【5】 Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures.

Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you.
