Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Swift’s family ran a farm. “I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old,” said Swift's mother. “If my dream had gone well, she’d be in a horse show right now.” The only obvious forerunner (先驱) of Swift's musical talent was her grandmother, an opera singer.
That talent showed itself early: when the family went to see a Disney musical film, Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly. At the age of 11, she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Philadelphia 76ers game. The experiences during her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift’s talent. As a child, she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing. Although it was her hometown, she didn’t know any of her classmates, and she was terrified. Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs, and put her feelings into songs of her own.
One of her future hits, “The Outside”, was written when she was only 12. “I wrote that about the scariest feeling I’ve ever felt: going to school, looking at those faces, and not knowing who you’re gonna talk to that day,” she said. “In the music, I could never feel the kind of rejection (拒绝) that I felt in middle school.” Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands. They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Swift had the ability, above all, to put feelings into words with accuracy (准确) far beyond her years. In “Our Song” she wrote, “Our song is the slamming screen door, going out late, tapping on your window.” In the summer of 2006, “Tim McGraw” came out, and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star.
1.When she was in her childhood, Taylor Swift ________.
A. dreamed of being a horse rider
B. was expected to help on the farm
C. showed her talent for music early
D. learned singing from her grandmother
2.Which of the following can best describe Swift’s school days in Wyomissing?
A. Difficult B. Helpful
C. Competitive D. Satisfying
3.Taylor Swift’s parents moved the family to Hendersonville ________.
A. when she was twelve years old.
B. after “The Outside” became a hit.
C. because she was rejected in school.
D. after they realized her musical talent.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Swift sang for a Disney movie at a young age.
B. “The Outside” came out when Swift was only 12.
C. Life in Wyndcroft School encouraged Swift's creativity.
D. She tells her stories in her music.

It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and vegetables.
Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭 ) at the end of the month receives a prize.
The United States A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量 ) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium (钙) and calories.
Australia Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sushi (寿司),sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.
In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.
South Africa Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at l:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

There’s more evidence that what’s good for your heart is good for your head．A new study shows that people who run，swim or do other moderate intensity(中等强度的)exercise have brains that look，on average，10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes．
“Our study showed that for older people，getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective，helping them keep their brains work better，”said Dr．Clinton Wright of the University．Of Miami，who led the study．But it’s not necessarily easy．Walking，golf，bowling and yoga didn’t count，and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss，Wright’s team reported in the journal Neurology．
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low-intensity group．These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study．They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks．Five years later，they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI．Seven years after that，they took the memory and thinking tests again．The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests．These included running，climbing，swimming，riding bicycles and so on．
“We found that those with moderate heavy activity had higher scores and slower decline than inactive patients when comparing the results，”the study team wrote．
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer’s but may delay it．The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising，eating healthier food and brain training can promote people’s memory function．

A．makes people’s heart better than their heads

Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.
However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.
During the nine-month experiment, 14- to-16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.
The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”
Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognized that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.
1.We can infer from the first paragraph that .
A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phones
B. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needs
C. students are free to use their mobile phones at school
D. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school
2.When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .
A. all enjoyed the project very much
B. didn’t know what they were used for
C. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phones
D. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools
3.Who benefited most from the project?
A. Older pupils.
B. Pupils who were not confident.
C. Younger pupils.
D. Pupils who were confident.
4.The purpose of the text is to tell us that .
A. mobile phones can actually help students learn
B. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schools
C. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problems
D. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years
