Every year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.
But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.
Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字迹) of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And don’t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.
Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing.
Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb, then rest it near the first knuckle (指节) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.
Evaluate your writing. Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.
Take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messy-looking.
Practice. Practice it a lot; it’s not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.
1.The underlined word “scribble” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. write quickly and roughly
B. type simply and correctly
C. paint clearly and neatly
D. describe properly and well
2.According to Paragraph 3, students with good handwriting skill ________.
A. can pass the SAT
B. can develop good characters
C. can impress their classmates
D. can get more job opportunities
3.Which of the following should you avoid when improving your handwriting?
A. Practicing writing a lot.
B. Writing as fast as you can.
C. Relaxing your hand when holding the pen.
D. Changing your letters till you like how they look.
4.The text is to present the fact that ________.
A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT
B. those who will go to college have to take the SAT
C. students should practice handwriting more often
D. kids don’t know how to write in the computer age

“A rolling stone gathers no moss (苔藓),” but there is one living animal that does gather moss — the three-toed sloth（树懒） of South America. This slowest-moving member of the animal kingdom is so inactive that moss actually gathers on its body and turns it green — strange as it seems!
Most of the sloth’s life is spent motionless, hanging upside down from a limb（大树枝）. And that is the way its hair grows. Long and coarse, the strands from receptacles for the damp jungle algae（藻类）turn the brown fur a mossy green. Actually this moss helps the animal survive because it serves as a perfect camouflage against the leafy trees and hides the sloth from the jungle’s swift-moving hunters. The sloth would have little chance of survival on the ground. With long, curved claws hooded over the limb of a leafy tree, it spends the long hot hours during the day drowsing and eating. Inch by inch, it strips the leafy limbs bare and crawls slowly down the trunk to find a new dining spot, but only at night.
In addition to looking rather like a vegetable, the sloth is a strict vegetarian. Running out of its favorite leaf is about the only thing that will make a sloth move. Then its appetite（食欲）may even force the animal into swimming a stream to reach a succulent（肉质植物）. It will also force it into fighting to keep the tree all to itself. The sloth is lazy and prefers to be alone, but it will tolerate its own relatives!
1.A suitable title for this passage might be ________.
A. Wild AnimalsB. Animal Kingdom
C. Moss GrowthD. The Lazy Animal
2.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ________.
A. to help children to gain a better understanding of animal life
B. to prove that the saying “a rolling stone gathers no moss” is wrong
C. to introduce a particular animal to the common reader
D. to discuss with professionals the laziness of some animals
3.Which of the following is NOT true about the sloth?
A. The sloth does not eat any meat.
B. For most of its time, the sloth remains motionless on the ground.
C. To some degree, the sloth is protected by the moss growing on its body.
D. The sloth has a brown fur of its own.
4.According to the passage, the sloth will move about when ________.
A. it senses a coming danger
B. it is forced to swim in a hot day
C. it is short of its favorite food
D. it wants to keep the vegetable to itself
5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned or implied by the author?
A. The sloth has only three toes.
B. The sloth lives in the damp jungle of South America.
C. The sloth usually tries to find a new spot for food at night.
D. The sloth will never fight with other animals.

Ever wonder how much a cloud weighs? What about a hurricane? A meteorologist（气象学家） has done some estimates and the results might surprise you.
Let’s start with a very simple white puffy cloud—a cumulus cloud(积云). How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, did the numbers. “The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons,” she calculates. “Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful...think of elephants.” Assume（假设） an elephant weighs about six tons, she says, that would mean the water inside a typical cumulus cloud would weigh about one hundred elephants.
The thought of a hundred elephants’ worth of water floating in the sky begs another question—what keeps it up there?
“First of all, the water isn’t in elephant-sized particles(微粒); it’s in tiny tiny tiny particles,” explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air that’s rising below. But still, the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone. “I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh, actually, when I started the calculations（计算）,” she says.
So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud—10 times bigger all the way around than the “puffy” cumulus cloud? Again, LeMone did the numbers: About 200,000 elephants.
Now, come to the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive. “What we’re doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane,” she explains.
The result? Forty million elephants. That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet. Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet.
1.The weight of ________ is NOT mentioned in the passage.
A. a cumulus cloudB. a storm cloud
C. a hurricaneD. a tornado
2.How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations?
A. She found it not convincing.
B. She thought it needed further calculations.
C. She considered the calculations inaccurate.
D. She was quite surprised at it.
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. A storm cloud weights about 200,000 elephants.
B. The water in the cloud is in very tiny particles.
C. There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth.
D. The water in a hurricane weights more than that in any other kind of cloud.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Surprising Results
B. Elephants in the Sky
C. How Much a Cloud Weighs
D. How Much a Hurricane Weighs

Summer is the season to dive into new activities, and kick back and relax. And right now is the time to make sure that you’re ready for the great outdoors, the holiday planning and travel, and the bathing-suit beach days.
If you want to lose weight before summer, concentrate on dropping no more than a pound or two a week. 1. And when you trouble yourself, sooner or later you’re going to gain it back. Operate on a 500-calorie -a -day deficit (亏缺). 2. So if you cut 500 calories a day for seven days straight, you’ll lose a pound a week right there.
Operating at an inadequate (减少量）of 500 calories a day should involve both eating less and moving more: For example, you could consume 300 fewer calories and burn 200 extra per day.
Include both healthy eating and exercise in your weight-loss plan, and break the 500-calorie goal into smaller groups to make it more reachable. 3.
To Cut 100 Calories; 4. Have vegetable pizza instead of pepperoni (意大利辣香肠). Use our Nutritional Needs Calculator to determine how many daily calories you should consume in order to lose, gain, or maintain your healthy goal weight. Once you’ve reached your goal, recalculate your nutritional needs for keeping extra weight off all summer long.
To Sum 100 Calories: Spend 15 minutes biking. 5. Spend 20 minutes gardening. Keep on exercising at least 30 minutes, three days a week. Reading food labels and counting calories or writing down what and when you eat can give you more control, as well.
A. Here are some simple ways to get there.
B. Walk or run one mile.
C. A pound is 3,500 calories.
D. It is okay to have some snacks between your meals.
E. You should always make sure you get a lot of sleep.
F. Anything more than that usually means you’re troubling yourself.
G. Eat a chicken breast without the skin.
