This summer, Monika Lutz’s life took an unusual turn. Instead of heading off to college, the high school graduate packed her bags for a Bengali jungle. Lutz, like a growing number of other young Americans, is taking a year off. Gap(间隔) years are quite common in Britain and Australia, but they are just beginning to catch on in the U.S. Lutz, who grew up in Boulder, Colo., has put together a 14-month schedule that includes helping deliver solar power to some communities in India and interning (实习) for a fashion designer in Shanghai---experiences that are worlds away from the lecture halls and university dormitories that await other students. “I could not be happier,” she says.

Why are students attracted to the gap-year concept? According to new survey data from Karl Haigler and Rae Nelson, education-policy experts and co-authors of The Gap-Year Advantage, the most common reason for this is to avoid burnout. “I felt like I was focused on college as a means to an end,” says Kelsi Morgan, an incoming Middlebury College freshman who spent last year interning for a judge in Tulsa, Okla., and teaching English at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic. The hope is that after a year out of the classroom, students will enter college more energized, focused and mature. That can be an advantage for colleges too. Robert Clagett, dean of admissions at Middlebury, did some research a few years ago and found that a single gap semester was the strongest predictor of academic success at his school.

Most experts recommend securing a spot in college before taking a gap year and warn against using the time off to lengthen your resume. “Most admissions folks can see right through that,” says Jim Jump, the academic dean of St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, Va. But for students like Lutz, who, after getting rejected from five Ivies, decided to take time off, a gap year can help focus interests. Lutz now plans to apply mostly to non-Ivies that have strong marketing programs. “This experience has really opened my eyes to the opportunities the world has to offer,” she says.

But at least one education expert doesn’t want schools spreading the gap-year message. In a study that followed 11,000 members of the high school class of 1992 for eight years after graduation, Stefanie DeLuca, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University, found that, all things being equal, those who delayed college by a year were 64% less likely to complete a bachelor’s degree than those who didn’t. DeLuca did not say whether these students voluntarily started college late, but at the very least, her work indicates that taking a gap year doesn’t guarantee success. “I’m not going to say that time off does not have benefits,” says DeLuca. “But I think we should not be so enthusiastic.”

1.The students take gap years mainly because ______.

A. they want to be more unusual

B. they want to refresh themselves

C. some experts advise them to do so

D. their parents think it good for them

2.According to Lutz, the gap year has made her more ______.

A. energetic B. relaxed

C. practical D. enthusiastic

3.Stefanie DeLuca probably agrees that ______.

A. students should think twice before taking gap years

B. taking gap years enables students to achieve success

C. schools should encourage their students to take gap years

D. taking gap years increases students’ chances of getting a good job

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards gap years?

A. Sceptical. B. Positive.

C. Disapproving. D. Objective.

A glass a day keeps obesity at bay.Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet.Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain”.The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

Boston University’s Dr.Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms (生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood.His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病),which relate to increasing obesity.Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods.They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese.What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that reveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, destroys fat cells.

1.The passage is mainly for those ______.

A.who produce wine

B.who are eager to lose weight

C.who go on a diet

D.who have a drinking habit

2.The underlined phrase “in moderation” in the first paragraph means ______.

A.properly B.carefully

C.excitedly D.frequently

3.Why has alcohol been thought to cause weight gain?

A.Because its calories are stored in fat.

B.Because it is rich in sugar.

C.Because it changes drinking patterns.

D.Because it increases the risk of diabetes.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

B.Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C.The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

D.Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.

5.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A.How to do some easy experiments.

B.How to prove the finding mentioned above.

C.How to make wine in a healthy way.

D.How to reduce the calories contained in wine.

It is fine day today and I will never forget this special day. I was chosen to be a member of the football team and send to take part in the school football match. I was excited, but believed I would score most. But in the first round I hurt my leg and couldn’t but to give up. I felt very sad. My best friend Tom comes up to me and said, “You are great! You still played for a few minute even after your leg hurt. You are a true winner.” I couldn’t believe my ears. For me the one scoring the most is the winner. But Tom said, “The one which tries his best is the really winner.” Deeply impressing by his words, I want to say “thank you” to him.

E

People talk about energy everywhere.Green energy, for example.Then, energy independence.It has a nice ring to it.Doesn' t it? If you think so, you' re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession(经济衰退).

"Energy independence" and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion "energy security" are, however, unreliable concepts that are rarely thought through.What is it that we want independence from, exactly?

Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.

The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes, there is a trickle ( 涓涓细流) )of biofuel ( 生物燃料 )available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.

Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to tolerate the environmental influence of domestic(国内的) energy production in order to cut back imports?

Third, there are benefits to trade.It allows for eoonomic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs t1i;m we do, we benefit.And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.

There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to keep its economy stable.When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices.At the same time, we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.

1.What does the author say about energy independence for America?

A.It sounds very attractive.

B.It ensures national security.

C.It will bring oil prices down.

D.It will protect the environment.

2.Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?

A.It wants to expand its storage of raw oil.

B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.

C.Its own oil production falls short of demand.

D.It wants to keep its own environment untouched.

3.What does the author say about oil trade?

A.It improves economic efficiency.

B.It makes for economic recession.

C.It brings benefit only to the sellers.

D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.

4.What is the author' s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To explain the increase of international oil trade.

B.To raise Americans' awareness of the energy crisis.

C.To argue for America' s dependence on oil imports.

D.To stress the importance of energy protection.
