.
There can be many benefits of healthy eating for teenagers to eat proper well-balanced meals each day. Weight is often a sensitive issue for teens. At this point in their lives they become conscious of their self-appearance and fads (风尚) can make them want to look as good as possible. In order to cope with things like this many teens turn to dieting, thinking that it will give them a better body. The truth is that dieting will only deprive the body of the needed nutrients during these growth years. Healthy eating for teenagers on the other hand will help maintain a healthier weight.
.
Eating the right foods means that your teen’s body receives all the vitamins and nutrients it needs. During the teenager years the body tends to absorb more calcium, iron and other vitamins and minerals than usual. By providing what the body of your teen needs it will be easier for it to reach its full physical potential for growth.
【 小题3】
Teenagers often have a lot of extracurricular activities — sports, drama or just hanging out with friends. Without the proper nutrition, your teen will easily get drained and feel tired leaving him or her slow and without any more energy to do anything. The body will need calories to burn to burn in order to create energy. So eating healthy is a must if you want your teen to cope with everyday activities.
.
Notice how your teenager can be so moody at times? Studies show that healthy eating can help reduce mood swings and bring about a more pleasant disposition (性情). The food that your teen eats can affect the chemical composition within the brain. This happens since food can affect the production and release of neurotransmitters (神经传递素) to the brain. Carbohydrates can help with stress reduction while a lack of selenium in the body which is found in nuts can lead to bad moods.
.
Have you ever heard of the saying that you are what you eat? By having them eat healthily they will have healthier bodies. This may include better skin, healthier teeth, hair and a better body in general. Having a teenager who looks good can really help boost their self-confidence and self-esteem.

第二节：下面文章有5处（第61～65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. How inner beliefs can help B. How to develop positive habits C. Improve your life D. You can do it E. Action plan F. Why are habits so important

The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won't see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single daywill have a great impact on your life in the long run.
________
There's nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.
________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: "I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed." If you keep this belief, you won't be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: "I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy." You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: "Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good."
________
It's now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you're going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you're not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc... Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc.
________
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don't be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours

Winter begins in the north on December 22nd．People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months，Sqzeirrels，for example，have been busy gathering nuts from trees．__________
They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana．The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃）trees．__________The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests．
Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen，a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico．The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels．Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way．Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places．________So some nuts remain in the ground．Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring．Red squirrels，however，store large groups of nuts above ground．

B．But they seldom remember where they buried every nut．

C．Red squirrels bury nuts in a different way．

D．The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels．

第二节：任务型阅读（每题2分，满分10分）。
探险家Ranulph Fiennes在电视节目中回答了主持人的有关野外求生的5个问题（第1-5题）。 请从下列提问（A,B,C,D,E,和F）中选出与他的回答相匹配的问题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
Questions:
A. Do you think people should be decisive in the wild?
B. How to make hunting tools?
C. Do you think people should send an SOS while they are in danger?
D. How to make a fire in the wild?
E. How to set a trap to hunt animals?
F. How to build a shelter in the wild?
.___________
Answer: If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid prolonged sun exposure, obviously only for hot climates. So you can be more comfortable in cooler temperatures to avoid sweating. If your environment is damp, use branches laid and criss-crossed on top of one another to create a solid and dry foundation for an open bed pad. Raise the foundation above ground level as much as possible.
_________
Answer: Yes, I think so. For example, if you think the best survival course of action is to look for help and civilization, don’t wait 4 or 5 days before you come to this conclusion. Take action on the 1^st or 2^nd day if possible while you still have strength and endurance working for you.
__________
Answer: Use dry wood and sticks to start your fire. Fire is started by using three kinds of wood: tinder, kindling, and fuel. Tinder is any kind of flammable wood shavings, usually light and wispy. You can take two pieces of dry wood, sharpen one of them and use it to drill into the other piece. Place any highly flammable objects you can find next to the drill bit. The moment the flammable object catches a spark, use a rock to swiftly tip the object onto a nest of leaves and little branches.
__________
Answer: Get an ordinary block of wood and hit it with a rock repeatedly until the wood sharpens. In this case, use the rock as your sharpener. You could also take a rock and break off some of the edges and then use another rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen. In an ideal situation, obsidian stone would be used for its infamous sharpness.
____________
Answer: Use two more sticks to hold up a “teepee”, similar to your shelter. Place an item of your choice you think an animal will come after, if you’re lucky, the animal will be trapped. Dig a hole in the ground about 2m-3m deep and 1m-2m across. Take two thin branches and place them criss-crossed across the hole. Cover it with leaves and put something the animals like to eat. You can also put a few wooden spikes sharpened by your knife at the bottom. Don’t forget to build a ladder or you might not be able to climb out of the hole.

Many times, we find it very amusing to see people who can keep a smile on their face all the time．It’s kind of annoying, isn’t it? ___Let’s see some tips on how to have a positive attitude and see how that can change our lives．
__ It really works! If you’re stuck in a terrible situation or a negative stage of your life, all you have to do is to think of the good times that are going to come after your bad stage gets over．Hope for the best and you will get the best．
We always feel good when we help others in some way, right? There’ a sense of achievement, satisfaction and positivity associated with giving and helping．
Being grateful for what you have can help you to be positive．If you’re the type to be whining, complaining and groaning about the things you don’t have, we must say that you need a reality check．    Look around you and see other people who don’t have enough resources like you do．
Forget the regrets of your past．Are you in a depressed mood all the time because you are carrying the burden of a trouble past with you? Then you must realize that every moment you think of a dark past with negativity, you will lose one bright moment of your present and the future．Letting go of your past is the only way you can have a positive attitude all the time．
 Keeping fit and healthy is a critical tip in having a positive attitude．You might have all the money, success and the luxury in the world, but you won’t be able to enjoy anything if you don’t have good health．

A．So try to do a good deed a day and help others with your strengths．

B．Being unsatisfied will also be a barrier in helping you to have a positive attitude．

C．That’s because we don’t know the advantages of having a positive attitude all the time．

E．Think of the good times you are going to have．
F．Make sure you know the importance of good health．

以下是这些报道的简要内容介绍，请配对它们的标题。
Where did this most popular day for couples come from? And how does it come into beings, year after year? Noel Lenski, professor of the University of Colorado, said the lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.
The first Earth Day in 1970 was a raucous, radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air, clean-water, and endangered species legislation in the United States. Now, 40 years later, Earth Day is every day, as the saying goes. The thing is, it’s also everyday- environmentalism that has become a routine with greenness as much a marketing tactic as a moral pursuit.
Some 242 million turkeys were raised in the U.S. in 2010 for slaughter, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Last year’s birds were worth about U.S. $3.6 billion. Before the big dinner, debunk the myths, we need to know that the first “real” U.S. Thanksgiving wasn’t until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010.
Father’s Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother’s Day, and, for the most part, dads are cool with that, experts say. Nevertheless, as traditional roles around the house gradually change, fathers are gaining more attention on their special day, at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19, 2011, when the holiday will be celebrated in dozens of countries.
Cookouts, fireworks, and, of course, a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big “happy birthday” —the day means summer in full swing across the United States and beyond. Besides the founders of the US, Fireworks, first authorized by Congress in 1777, are another legacy. More than 14,000 fireworks displays light up U.S. skies each year.

Many people admit that they aren't prepared financially for life's unexpected challenges and emergencies. If your New Year's decision is to become more financially prepared for a“rainy day”the following tips are helpful for you to save,
Start saving now.
Set specific savings goals and break them down to a set dollar amount to save each paycheck.            Save at least a small portion of each paycheck and remain committed to saving, and then look for ways each month to increase the amount.

One of the simplest ways to find money to put toward your rainy day fund is to keep a close eye on where your money is being spent. For two or three months, try keeping track of every expense, including small ones. Once you have a better idea of where your money is going, make a budget that includes a spending and savings plan.
