19、t exciting moments of my life. I 38 then that there was no turning back. The family I would live with was waiting for me, and it would be only five days 39 the new school year started. The Catholic school I 40 was different from my public school back in the States. The uniform code was very strict.
20、We were only 41 to wear one bracelet, which had to be a watch and one necklace, which had to have a Holy Cross. I was quite intimidated(害怕的) at first, 42 never having been to a new schooleven in the United States. Everything went 43 , though. The teachers were welcoming and the students were friendl
21、y. The most unforgettable time of my term abroad was with forty-one other international exchange students traveling around Australia during our term break. Our 44 were as extensive as our nationalities: we traveled to Sydney, Canberra, Mildura, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon, Alice Springs, Mount
22、Isa, Airlie Beach, and the Cold Coast. The few weeks we enjoyed together were crowded with 45 . We took a day-cruise on Darling Harbor and visited the Sydney Opera House. We slept in an “underground town”. We walked around the famous Ayers Rock and went sailing on the Pacific Ocean. At the end of ou
23、r 46 in Australia, we had three weeks of traveling time to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was 47 that our last day together was filled with tears.

26、ng in each blank with one word that best fits the context. Each of us is different and our body clocks are different too. Some of us can stay awake and work till late in the night, 48 feeling tired, while others may find it easy to wake up and start work 49 , instead of continuing late in the night.
27、 These tendencies make some of us “night persons” and 50 “morning persons”. So if you are a morning person, the best time to exercise for you would be mornings, 51 you feel energetic. However, if you are a night person, who hates to wake up early, afternoons or evenings will suit you more for exerci
28、sing. If you want to know when is the best time to exercise to burn fat, then mornings are the ideal choice. 52 are mornings considered the best time to exercise for weight loss? There is 53 scientific explanation for that. When a person exercises in the afternoon or in the evening, he is simply bur
29、ning the calories coming from 54 he has eaten last.

40、yD. can be reached by airB As a cardiac patient at Charlottes Levine Childrens Hospital, Jacob Jackson often stared blankly out of the window, counting cars. It took his mind off the pain from surgeries to repair congenital heart defects(先天性心脏缺陷). At 16, hes already had seven major operations. Now,
41、Jacob is counting the days until he goes to Hawaii to mentor(做顾问) kids at a summer camp for heart patients.

43、r, a free medically supervised heart camp near Modesto, Calif., where she also worked as a volunteer counselor(辅导员).

52、 offer support to heart patients. C The crisis at Japans Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Ja
53、pan is historic.This week, the chairman of Americas nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No ne
54、w nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when Americas worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.To support more clean energy production, the Obama governm
55、ent has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.German prime minister An
56、gela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with

And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years.Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike many major economies, Japan imports eighty perce
58、nt of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute says twenty-nine percent of Japans electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011. The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2017.Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producin
