    3．Long ago，poems were recited out loud instead of being written down．Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics，they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions．
        Now，poetry competitions have been revived．This year 120，000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest，performing poems from memory for $100，000 in prizes．
        The first competitions were held in classrooms．The winners went on to schoolwide contests，and then they competed in city and state competitions，and then the 50 state champions，along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington，D．C．，last week for the last showdown（对决）．After the 51 champions competed against one another，12 went on to the finals．Then the field was narrowed to five．The final five had one last chance to"perform"a poem．The overall champ，Jackson Hille，a high school senior from Ohio，won a $20，000 scholarship．
        The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on the page．
        It's not just a matter of saying the words in the right order．It's the tone of voice，the pauses，the gestures，and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life．"Each time we hear somebody recite a poem，we  understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it，"says National Public Radio broadcaster Scott Simon，master of ceremonies for the finals．Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener．
        Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience，memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants understand those poems in a new way．Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them for life．

    41．From the first paragraph，we can knowC．
    A．the Greeks were the first to write poems
    B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
    C．poems were spread orally in the past
    D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
    42．How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington，D．C．？
    B
    A．Three．  B．Four       C．Five．    D．Six．
    43．According to the passage，hearing a poem recited in a new canD．
    A．bring a new life to listeners
    B．help listeners find their interest
    C．make listeners learn the words
    D．offer something new to listeners
    44．One benefit the participants get from a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that they canA．
    A．become confident while speaking in public
    B．write good poems themselves
    C．change their attitudes towards life
    D．make friends with many great poets
    45．What's the best title for the passage？C
    A．Reciting poems improves your memory．
    B．Remembering a lot of poems is fun．
    C．Poetry rocks the microphone．
    D．Poets have a great time．

    18．Eating snacks can be a good way to stop your hunger and get the vitamins your body needs．But as teenagers you need to pay attention to what you eat．Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smartly．Be careful of the health claims on food packages．Words on the package like"all natural"or"pure"don't always mean the food is good for you．Be careful of low-fat food claims，too．If the fat has been cut back，the amount of sugar in the food may have been increased to keep the food tasting good．Many low-fat foods have nearly as many calories as their full-fat versions．Here are some ways to make healthy snacking part of your everyday routine．
    ★Keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home，so you can take them with you when you go out．
    ★Satisfy your cravings with healthier foods．If you are crazy about chocolate，try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar．If you want something salty，eat whole grain biscuits instead of potato chips．Besides，it is wise for you to replace ice-cream with yogurt．
    ★Pay attention to the amount you eat．As with everything，moderation（适度）is the key to smart snacking．

    The passage informs teenagers of the necessity to choose healthy and moderate snacks，which is beneficial to their health，as well as some ways to make healthy snacks part of their daily life．（高分句型一）
    As we know，some snacks are high in fat or sugar．Taking too much fat can result in obesity．To much fat in a human body is likely to cause various diseases，including high blood pressure，high blood sugar and heart disease．（高分句型二）Worse still，teenagers who are troubled by weight problems may also lack confidence in communicating with others，which can result in psychological problems．（高分句型三）Thus，I suggest that those who are crazy aboutsnacks should eat snacks when it is necessary．For example，when they feel hungry after taking exercise，they can have some healthysnacks，such as fresh fruit and yogurt．These foods can add the calories or nutrients they need and are low in fat．．

    Dear Mr．President，
    I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports facilities in campus．I have notice that our university has very limited resources in term of opportunities to participate in sports．
    It is known to all what sports are very important to young people．If they have access to quality sports facilities，young people are able to choose a healthier lifestyle，to boost self-esteem and confidence，and to build a negative outlook and sense of achievement．
    I suggest build a new playground，where should be designed for students with different interests．They should have a different section for each activity and available to students all year round．I believe sports area will meet our sporting needs．
    Thanks for reading．
    Yours faithfully
