         Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer
    model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
         The result:10％ fewer heart attacks.8％ fewer storkes.4％ fewer deaths.11％ fewer new cases of
    heart disease. And 240 billion dollars in health care savings.
         Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.
         The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of
    California San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in
    taste with three grams, or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at
    Stanford and Columbia University.
         Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium(钠),which is how foods may list their
    salt content.
         The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart
    Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has
    increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can
    mean a lower blood pressure.
         New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction
    Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government
    interference.
    Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list
    calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute shows that the calorie
    information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.
    1. According to the passage, what disease is not related to salt in diet?
    A. cancer
    B. stroke
    C. blood pressure
    D. heart attack
    2.We can tell from the passage that now        heart attacks occur in the US every year.
    A. 240,000
    B. 900,000
    C. 100,000
    D. 92,000
    3. It can be inferred from the passage that           .
    A. all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt
    B. the American Heart Association suggests less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone
    C. Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970s
    D. the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be
    4. The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to           .
    A. attract the public attention to the problem
    B. require fast food places to list salt information
    C. inform people of the harm that salt does to health
    D. put pressure on food companies and restaurants
    5. The last paragraph mainly tells us            .
    A. Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people's health
    B. Bloomberg is very successful in his career
    C. parents must pay great attention to calorie information
    D. a new study is being done about calorie information

         Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent. It
    isn't what he says that makes us laugh. It depends upon actions which mean the same thing to people all
    over the world. He is master of the art - a kind of world language.
         As a young man, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors. Chaplin was
    then invited to join a new company that was making film comedies. Very soon he had made dozens of
    short films for this company. And it was in his second film that he wore the clothes which made his
    reputation - black hat, tight coat, baggy trousers, huge shoes, moustache and walking stick. He intended
     simply to make people laugh. But the odd make-up made him look both comic and sad.
         By the time he was thirty, Chaplin was the greatest, best known and best loved comedian in the world. He received thousands of dollars for each film he made. He had formed his own manner of acting. He was welcomed by excited crowds wherever he went. But he worked very hard and had few close friends.
    Perhaps that is why the sad side of the little tramp began to show more clearly in the films he made. The
    little man began to want more than food and a roof over his head. He began to want love.
         In one of his most famous films "The Gold Rush" a girl plays tricks on the little man. Then she begins
    to feel sorry for him and treats him kindly. He mistakes her pity for love. The girl in "City Lights" is blind. She thinks he is the most wonderful man she has ever met. But then she recovers her sight and sees what
    a foolish figure he is. This sadness gives Chaplin's films a depth of human experience which few comedians can equal.
         After living in America for forty years he moved to Switzerland. There he died on Christmas Day
    1977. He once described himself as a citizen of famous pictures that were made during the 1920s and
    1930s, the time of the silent films. But, to many people all over the world Chaplin will always be the king
    of comedy.

         Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out
    of the kitchen, complaining, "Mom, I can't peel potatoes. I have only one hand."
         Mom never looked up from sewing. "You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told

    afternoon, she took me back to school. On the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
         "Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right
    hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every
    rung I reached. I'll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing

         Even with hit shows such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy", ABC is tightening its belt
    as it weathers the U.S. economic downturn and tries to remain relevant in an industry challenged by digital
    entertainment.
         "We are in one of the worst economies in 70 years. We are looking at everything we can possibly do to
    be more efficient and more effective," ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson told reporters on
    Friday.
         "We have to look at everything across the board from cost cutting to (using) other platforms for smart
    ways to broker (协调) our efforts. It is an ongoing process. It is not a one time thing."
         McPherson, attending the networks' semi-annual presentation to critics, said last year's five month strike
    by Hollywood screenwriters had "really hurt everybody" in the traditional television industry, and he
    acknowledged the networks had lost viewers to other forms of entertainment.
         "The world has changed under these businesses and we need to be incredibly diligent and confident in
    what we do, otherwise we will be left by the wayside." he said. "Tomorrow is here, now, and we really need
    to figure it out now and move forward."
         ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co., has lost about 9.7 percent of its prime time audience in the 2008-9 season
    compared with the same stage last year.
         With the exception of current ratings leader CBS, the other two major U. S, networks Fox and NBC have
    also lost similar percentages since the 2008-9 season started last September.
         McPherson said he hoped ABC would continue to "take chances" on shows such as "Lost" and "Dancing
    with the Stars" that were seen as daring when they were shown for the first time. But recent new entries, such
    as "Pushing Daisies," "Eli Stone" and "Dirty Sexy Money," failed to resonate with viewers and were canceled.
         Despite the growing trend of watching television on iPods, on the Internet and on mobile phones,
    McPherson said ABC's main focus remained on broadcast.
         "We are still a broadcast network and that is where our profits come from. The other platforms are
    important. But people ask if we would do a show that would be successful on the Internet as opposed to on
    broadcast and those are always secondary thoughts," he added.
    1. The main idea of the passage is about _____.
    A. the strike of Hollywood screenwriters
    B. the decline of ABC's prime time audience
    C. ABC's main focus on broadcast
    D. ABC's feeling economic, digital pressure
    2. The 3rd paragraph suggests to us that _____.
    A. the economic situation is so serious that it will last long
    B. cutting cost is the best way to recover from economic downturn
    C. using other smart way can develop the ongoing process
    D. sparing no effort can complete the ongoing process
    3. We can infer that the last economic great depression happened _____.
    A. in 1970
    B. in 1970s
    C. in 1939
    D. in the 2008-9 season
    4. McPherson's attitude towards ABC's future is full of _____.
    A. doubt
    B. hope
    C. worry
    D. confidence

         Even when you're extremely busy, you aren't using your time with 100% efficiency. There are
    gaps in everyone's schedule where they aren't doing anything important. Even if your schedule has
    no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren't working as fast or as effectively as you
    possibly could.
         Why aren't you completely efficient? It's because time isn't the limiting factor. If it were the
    limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣).
    Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally
    procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
         The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention.
    Energy levels limit your productivity because when you're tired, you can have ample time and still
    not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million
    things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.
         You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some
    sacrifices(牺牲). But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule
    without cancelling anything. The reason it's hard to "find time" isn't a lack of time. It's because
    you don't have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.
         I first suspected time wasn't the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over
    a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists
    with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to
    illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly
    light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later
    and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe y
    ou have known it.
    1. If someone can't work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.
    A. a schedule without gaps           
    B. breaks and distractions
    C .the limited time                      
    D. the limited energy
    2. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ___________.
    A. work without any rest                 
    B. focus on many things at a time
    C. find some more time in a day            
    D.do some exercise regularly
    3. After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writer's life?
    A. He had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.
    B. He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.
    C. He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.
    D. He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.
    4. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ___________.
    A. prove what the real limiting factor is  
    B. show us how busily he needs to work
    C. explain how important a healthy body is  
    D. tell us what an odd experience he has
    5. What is the best title of the passage?
    A. Are You Really Lack of Time?          
    B. How Can You Work Efficiently?
    C. What Makes Your Energy Limited?      
    D. When Should You Do Exercise?

         Even if you are an experienced backpacker or climber, you need to know what to do if something goes
    wrong. It is not that Alaska is that much more dangerous than other places. It is no more hazardous than
    elsewhere, as long as the proper precautions (预防措施) are taken. So, being prepared is important to a safe
    trip.
          First of all, make sure you pack everything you will need for your trip. Even if you are traveling by car,
    pack clothers and gear (用具) for backpacking. Because of the extreme weather, cars break down frequently.
    Pack a coat, gloves, a hat, snow-pants, sleeping bags, candles, a flashlight, and high-energy food.
         If you are traveling by car, also pack extra belts, a spade, and a chain (铁链). If you are camping or
    hiking, make sure you know how to avoid bears. If you are lost in the forest, there is no doubt that you will
    encounter (遇到) them.
         However, there is no need to be nervous. Just take these precautions: make noise as you walk, bears will
    avoid you; cook your food away from where you sleep, and store your food away from where you sleep, so
    the bears are not attracted. Both of these should keep the bears away. However, if you do encounter a bear,
    there are two different schools of thought. One is to make noise and scare the bear away. The other is to
    stand still and speak softly to get the bear to leave. If you are dealing with a brown bear, you can climb a tree,
    since they cannot follow. But black bears can climb. If for some reason the bear attacks, play dead. Try to
    protect your head and neck, and hopefully the bear will leave its “dead” prey (捕获物).

    1. The underlined word “ hazardous ”(in Paragraph 1) most probably means “______ ”.

    A. interesting
    B. dangerous
    C. wonderful
    D. important

    2. The author mainly tells us in Paragraph 2 that ______ .
    A. it is dangerous to travel by car
    B. the weather is always bad in Alaska
    C. you should take what you need for your trip
    D. cars break down often while traveling
    3. All the following can protect you from being attacked by bears EXCEPT that ______ .

    A. trying to make noise as you walk
    B. saying something to the bear in a soft voice
    C. using a club to scare the bear away
    D. pretending to be dead when you are in danger

    4. The passage is mainly about ______.
    A. the tips on a safe trip in Alaska
    B. the very dangerous bears in Alaska
    C. how to prevent your cars from being attacked by a bear
    D. how to protect yourself when in trouble
