The Best of Alaska

Nothing evokes(喚起)Alaska like a whale exploding out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the river. Combine these images with high mountains, brilliant icebergs and wonderful meals and you really do have the Best of Alaska! Join us for an unforgettable 7-day excursion(遠足)to the last frontier!

JUNEAU: Juneau, the state capital, is rich in culture and scenic beauty. It is here that we start and end our trip.

I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un-aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.

I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University----

coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.

When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.

In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.

That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.

I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so...”

My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.

1.How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?

A. Angry and sad.

B. Excited and moved.

C. Curious and scared.

D. Happy and interested.

2.What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. My brother is the real baby in the family.

B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.

C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.

D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.

3.What does the brother often help the author do?

A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.

B. Help him with his studies.

C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.

D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.

4.What is the best title for this text?

A. My Strange Family Gatherings

B. The Real Baby in the Family

C. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little Brother

D. The Feeling of Having a Brother

Recently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.

There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.

Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallal’s study, compared with fewer than four in ten British.

These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved(進化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span(壽命) as smoking.

1.We may learn from Paragraph 1 that_________.

A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discovered

B. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exercise

C. the good enough data has been collected from only one country

D. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree

2. According to the study, women of Luxembourg_________.

A. have little time to exercise

B. hate to get regular exercise

C. take more exercise to lose weight

D. exercise more than men in their country

3.The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.

A. powerful B. rich C. lazy D. unpopular

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Worldwide Lack of Enough Exercise

B. New Health Discovery

C. Evolvement of Human Beings

D. Benefits of Taking Exercise
