A.

Families are very important for everyone as well as friends. Some can get on with members of their families but not with friends. Others are just opposite. Please look at the following teenagers and find out their different ideas about family and friends.

Destiny Jenna 11 years old, Cowage

　　 I get on with members of my family after an quarrel but when we are actually quarrelling it's different, although it doesn't often happen. I get on with all of them really. I think that it depends on what they have done for me. I class some of my family as friends as well as relatives. If I am in a bad mood with someone in my family then I might choose a friend over them. I agree with the saying that you can choose your friends and not your family because your family just comes but your friends don't, do they?

Caroline Kylie, 10 years old, Blakeley

　　 I get on with my family. I think you have to get on with them even though they might quarrel, because you love them. I have never thought of a friend better than a family member because I class my family as friends as well. I never quarrel with any of my relatives, but I think that it's right about saying that you can choose your friends but not your family.

Michelle Juan, 12 years old, Blakeley

　　 I get on with my family, although I feel as if I have to when we argue. I argue with my mum quite often and she goes into a bad mood.

　　 Feeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong.

　　 Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth.

　　 Subhealth, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as a border line state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.

　　 Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

　　 The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.

　　 As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements, vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.

　　 Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.

46．According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?

A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.

B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.

C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in some good hospitals.

A. they have used up their energy

Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph. Note that there is one extra heading.

51.　　　　　　　

If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.

52.　　　　　　　

Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.

53.　　　　　　　

The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean and shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense.

54.　　　　　　　

Of course tobacco can help government to raise more money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.

55.　　　　　　　

Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.

　　 Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer to help ease the loss of my daughter. Sam and I 　21　 　a very special bond over the next fourteen years. It seemed nothing that happened could 　22　 　change that.

　　 At one point, our new neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens (baby cats), asked us if we would like one. We were a little worried about Sam's 　23　 , but we decided to 　24　 　it and agreed to take a kitten, which we named Lightening.

　　 At first Sam and Lightening were very 　25　 　with each other and kept their distance. But slowly Lightening started 　26　 　Sam--up and down the stairs, into the kitchen to watch him eat, into the living room to watch him sleep. 　27　 　time passed, they became inseparable. When I played with one, the other 　28　 　in. If Sam barked at something, Lightening ran to 　29　 　what it was. When I took 　30　 　one out of the house, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.

　　 Then without any 　31　 , Sam began suffering from heart trouble. I had no other choice but to have him 　32　 . The pain of making that decision,　 33　 , was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to 　34　 　Sam at the vet's(animal doctor's) and walked into our house alone. This time there was no Sam for Lightening to 　35　 　and no way to explain 　36　 　she would never see her friend again.

　　 In the days that followed, Lightening seemed 　37　 . She could not tell me in words that she was 　38　 , but I could see the pain and 　39　 　in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the 　40　 　whenever she heard a dog bark…
