17、 arrange a party. The party could be elaborate(精心准备的)and include a meal or may be simple with a birthday cake and drinks. One does not plan, nor give, ones own birthday as is the custom in some cultures. At a party there is usually a decorated cake, often with the words “Happy Birthday” and with the
18、 name of the person written on the top of the cake. Sometimes there is also one candle for each year of the person celebrating the birthday before the cake is cut. While blowing out the candles, the person makes a wish for something pleasant.Usually those invited to a birthday party will bring a gif
19、t for the person honored. Gifts given by friends do not have to be expensive, but the family of the birthday person will spend whatever they can afford on a gift.Christmas parties also are very popular in the South. Often this is the only time during the year that some people see acquaintances(熟人).
20、These parties can be elaborate or simple, ranging from a buffet(自助餐)to a reception called “open house (家庭招待会)”. If you are invited to one of these, you dont need to take a Christmas gift, as it is not customary to take the hostess a gift every time you are invited to a party or a meal. However, if y
21、ou wish to take a gift, it should only be something useful and inexpensive and should be given to the hostess at the door as you enter the party. Usually gifts of Christmas food treats are the most appreciated.41. On ones birthday, before blowing out the candles, he or she will_. A. wear beautiful c
22、lothes B. eat birthday cake C. invite friends D. make a wish42. This passage mainly tells us about _.

25、anted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not be
26、cause they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars bega
27、n wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffanys. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more
28、and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black. Of course sunglasses
29、arent just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you dont have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is hu
30、ge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.46What is mainly discussed in this passage? ASome movie stars. BHow to protect eyes CThe sunglasses wearing.

Ajust to protect their eyes Bfor fashion and to
33、protect their eyes Cbecause of bright lights Dbecause movie stars wear themCSome people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The trut
34、h is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical f
35、itness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily
36、 exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk o
37、r run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesnt return to normal within 5 minutes after you
38、finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldnt be beating loudly, and you shouldnt be tired. 51.
