Elizabeth Murray grew up with drug-addicted parents and often didnt have warm clothes or food. “It would be common for me to go into my kitchen and see my parents shooting drugs into their veins(血管),” Elizabeth said.When Elizabeth was 10 she found out her mother had AIDS. A few years later, while most teenage girls were worrying about what to wear, Elizabeth was looking after her moon. Her mom died at the age of 41 in 1996.At 15, Elizabeth was homeless. Her mom was gone and her dad was on the street. After her moms death, she knew things had to change and she knew it was up to herself. “I connected the lifestyles that I had seen every day with how my mother ended. And if there was anything I could do about it that would not happen to me. So I went back to school. But mind you, I was homeless,” Elizabeth explained.Her high school didnt know Elizabeth was homeless. She took an extra load of work, studied on the stairs and made excellent grades. When she read about a scholarship offered by The New York Times she quickly applied and won. She would receive $ 12,000 for every year at college. Elizabeth was determined to go to Harvard and the university didnt turn her down. Right now Elizabeth lives with her little sister in New York while she waits to become a full-time student. Shes working at The New York Times right now and they offered her work for the summer. Elizabeth has gone from homeless to Harvard.21. Elizabeth decided to go back to school to .A. learn how to help other AIDS patientsB. avoid her homeless fatherC. From a good job to make money to support her familyD. change the lifestyles she saw every day22. We can learn from the last paragraph that Elizabeth .A. was turned down by the universityB. still lived on the street with her father and sisterC. will go to Harvard as a full-time student D. has got a job after her graduation from university23. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth?A. Strong-willed. B. Clever.C. Brave. D. Warm-heartedBAccording to a recent report by the research organization NPD Group, Americans are cutting down on sugary foods and drinks, Today, on average, kids are eating and drinking sugary sweets 126 times less than they did in1998.Since March l, 1980, the NPD Group has been surveying families across the United States about how they eat. The study includes 5,000 people from 2,000 families. Families taking part in the survey keep a journal of their daily diets for two weeks. Each individual records how many sweets and sugary treats he or she consumes. The study shows that a large percentage of Americans still satisfy their sweet tooth, but in smaller amounts. Nearly 98% of the adults and children surveyed still have at least one sweet, but only every two weeks. “Its not a question of whether or not youre going to have a sweet,” said Balzer. “Its a matter of how frequently youre going to have a sweet”. While there is no formal definition for what classifies a “sweet”, NPD selected 20 products to conduct the study. The list ranges from cookies and brownies to fruit juice and yogurt. Kids today are eating cookies 8 times less than they did in 1998, and drinking fruit juice 16 times less.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of obese kids aged 6 to 19 tripled (使增至三倍) in the U.S. between 1980 and 2000, About 9 million children were overweight. Today, obesity rates are not falling, but they arent growing ,either, “There are three points to every trend,” said Balzer. “Theres the movement upward, the leveling off ,and the decline. Right now were at the leveling off point”Schools nationwide are doing their part to put childhood obesity on a downward trend, Fried food has disappeared from many cafeteria menus, Whole-wheat bread has replaced white bread , Water and low-fat milk have replaced sugary drinks and soda. Many schools have also banned junk food and now require healthier snack options in their vending machines. These efforts, both at home and in school, are slowly putting kids on the right track for healthy eating.24. The NPD Group has been surveying families in order to . A. promote some new foodsB. find out their eating patternC. reduce the number of sugary foodsD. change the customers way of life25. The survey shows that most people surveyed have a sweet .

Which of the following food is likely to lead to obesity?A. French fries. B. Whole wheat bread. C. Low-fat milk D. FruitsCSeated in a convertible (折蓬汽車), Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Marks hair. How could they stay there? She wondered. Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the caf where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in senior high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didnt change Marys feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand-new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there. Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair. Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldnt help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing along to the music while driving merrily along. Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream? Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label. Thats not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says its Fly Trap Glue!”28. We can learn from the text that _.A. Mark used to be a thin boy B. Mark bought a new sports car for MaryC. Mark and Mary had been in love for yearsD.
