Do you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for  celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

Here are some tips for preventing（阻止） weight gain and maintaining（維持） physical fitness: Don't skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.

Control the amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to "load up". You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist (拳頭).

Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand (預(yù)先) on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.

Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk helps to burn off excess calories.

Avoid(避免) high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A．You should never eat delicious foods.

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?
That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.
To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- slips all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather-- is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
【小題1】What’s the main topic of this passage?

A．What is time?
B．How to control time?
C．Make good use of time.
D．Time among Americans.
【小題2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?
A．protectB．developC．produceD．a(chǎn)ssist
【小題3】The sentence “Americans seem tied to the clock” probably means __________.
A．Americans often carry a clock with them.
B．Americans can not predict the time.
C．Americans can take control over time.
D．Americans often make full use of time.
【小題4】We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________________.
A．Americans have more time than others.
B．by using pocket planners, people can have more time.
C．for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier.
D．Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better.

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.

Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.

Overcome all the obstacles on the course and in life it is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”

Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of     .

A．its founder, David Belle                   B．the film, Casino Royale

C．its risks and tricks                       D．the varieties of participants

2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “   ”.

A．streets           B．objects           C．barriers           D．roofs

3.Which of the following is true of parkour?

A．It challenges human abilities.               B．It is a good but boring sport.

C．It needs special training.                  D．It is a team sport.

4.As its participants move around a city,     .

A．they can ask for help                     B．they may choose to escape

C．they should run to extremes               D．they must learn to survive

5.Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

A．Sports and extremes.                    B．Excitement and freedom.

You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.

　 What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve racking(緊張）and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?

　A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(顛覆，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭吵).”  In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’ m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ?” By saying ‘I love you’, they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”

1. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The importance of “I love you”　

B. The meaning of “I love you”

D. The place of saying “I love you”

　A. it is easy to say “I love you”　　　

B. it is hard to say “I love you”　

　C. we have many troubles in our life

　D. people usually do not know when to say “I love you”　

3. According to the expert, a good relationship should be _______.

　A. fair and equal　　      B. fair and kind

　C. powerful and equal　　 D. confident and fair

4. In the third paragraph, the phrase “with the upper hand” means _________.

　A. being low in spirit　　 B. having only one hand

　C. being active 　　     D. being passive
