Wrong, according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe. In the book, Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (鞏固) dietary advice—and her myth(誤區(qū))－breaking conclusions are surprising.Myth：【2】.“Real fat is not bad for us，”says Harcombe.“It’s manmade fats we should be demonizing.”Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.Myth: We should eat more fiber.For three decades, we have eaten fiber into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving.“【3】”， says Harcombe.The advice to eat more fiber is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems. But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines (腸道), so why do we want to wash everything out? Concentrate on not putting bad foods in.Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.“Fiveaday is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice，” says Harcombe.“You’d think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit.【4】.‘Fiveaday’started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and vegetable companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991.There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.”Myth: Fruit and vegetables are the most nutritious things to eat.Apparently not Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet—if served in butter to deliver the fat－soluble(dissolved) vitamins they contain—but natural sugar, the fruit sugar in fruit, goes straight to the liver and is stored as fat.“【5】”， says Harcombe, who adds “Vitamins and minerals in animal foods—meat, fish, eggs and dairy products—beat those in fruit hands down.”

In a clear presentation, a robot read the news without stumbling（結巴）once and recited complex tongue-twisters.

It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. 【1】

1. Buy experiences, not material goods.

In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. 【2】 But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.

2. 【3】

No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.

3. Be sure to buy time.

【4】 For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal.

4. Try giving it away.

Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. 【5】 .

A. Be sure to buy what you like.

B. Here are some ways to better spend your money.

C. Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.

D. There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.

E. People think experiences only provide temporary happiness.

F. This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.

G. Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.

【題目】In a very special course at Knnet School, the social-science teacher Adam Smith guides his students through the “married life”. Unlike the traditional course, Adam makes his students experience the real problems married ones may face like housing and child care. “No one tells kids about money-managing problems,” says Adam.

Each student should act out in ten weeks what normally takes couples ten years to finish. In the first week, one member of each couple is asked to get an after school job — a real one. During the term, the income rules their life-style. In the third week, the couples must find an apartment they can afford.

In the fifth week, the couples “have a baby” and then struggle to cover the costs of baby clothes and furniture. In week eight, the marriage comes to the breaking point by such disaster as a mother-in-law’s moving in or death. It’s all over by week ten (the tenth year of marriage). After serious discussion with lawyers about alimony (贍養(yǎng)費) and child support, the students get divorced (離婚) .

Adam’s course, which has “married” 1,000 students since its beginning six years ago, is widely supported by parents and students. Some of the students have found the experience making them realize their real life marry plans are wrong. Marianne Baldrica, 16, who tried “marriage” last term with her boyfriend Eric Zook, 15, said, “ Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together. But I wanted to live in the city, he wanted the country. He wanted lots of kids, I wanted no kids. It’s been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again.”

【1】What is the aim of Adam’s course?

A. To tell students how to find a good partner.

B. To teach students how to manage their money.

C. To help students act as wives and husbands well.

D. To show students the problems in real marriage life.

【2】What will happen in the eighth week?

A. The couples will have a baby.

B. The couples will have to find a flat.

C. The husband will have to find a real job.

D. The marriage will come to the breaking point.

【3】After taking the course, Marianne will ______ .

A. choose to live in the country

B. break up with her boyfriend at once

C. ask their teachers and parents for help

D. have a better understanding of marriage

【4】Where does the text probably come from?

A. A science book. B. A library guide.

C. A newspaper report. D. A project handbook.

Dr Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that stress and sleep are directly related. Dr Winkle says, “ 【1】 If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”

【2】 Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies (多樣)a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

【3】 People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. 【4】 Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. 【5】 Finally, “When you put the light out,” Dr Winkle says, “Concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”

A. This could be watching TV or listening to music.

B. You eventually fall asleep.

C. The more we worry, the less we sleep.

D. Preparing for sleeping is important.

E. Coffee or tea will keep you awake.

【題目】Many Western people are not used to sitting on the floor any more. In Japan, however, sitting upright on the floor is common in different situations. For example, meals are traditionally had when people sit on the tatami (榻榻米) floor around a low table. Also during the tea ceremony and other traditional events, one sits on the floor.

The formal way of sitting for both men and women is kneeling upright. People who are not used to sitting in this style may feel uncomfortable after a few minutes, and their legs may go numb. However, foreigners are not usually expected to be able to sit in this style for a long time, and an increasing number of Japanese people themselves aren’t able to do so, owing to a more westernized lifestyle.

In other situations, men usually sit cross-legged, while women sit on their knees laying both legs to one side. The former sitting style is considered wholly male, while the latter is considered completely female.

The most important guest sits on the honored seat which is set farthest from the entrance. If there is a tokonoma (壁龕) in the room, the guest should be seated in front of it. The host or the least important person is supposed to sit next to the entrance. Of course, there are other things to be considered in each particular case.

【1】Which of the following situations is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. When traditional events are held.

B. When a tea ceremony is held.

C. When men and women meet.

D. When meals are traditionally had.

【2】According to the passage we can learn that ______.

A. more and more Japanese sit in the formal way

B. foreigners should always sit in the formal style in a Japanese home

C. men and women in Japan sit in the same informal way

D. men shouldn’t sit on their knees laying both legs to one side

【3】When some guests are in a Japanese home, _______should sit nearest to the entrance.

A. the most important guest

B. both the host and the hostess

C. the host or the least important person

D. the host himself

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. How foreigners should sit in Japanese homes.

B. How and where to sit in Japanese homes.

C. How foreigners should behave in Japanese homes.
