Mother always left a note, but she never spoke out our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 22 , she
10、 never mentioned them when we brothers and sister recalled our childhood. When Mother passed away, I had to go through her personal belongings. In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon (布条). On top was a message in her handwriting. It read, “In the event of my death, please 23 thes

24、 for the Actions in ShopsCSeeking Professional Help from ExpertsDControlling the Desire to Steal from ShopsBOn Tuesday, there will be a tiny salt shaker(小盐瓶) symbol on menus in some restaurants in New York City. It warns certain meals are high in sodium. The first US city is taking the step to fight
25、 against heart disease and stroke(中风).Any menu item with more than 2.3 grams of sodium in it must have the emblem of a salt shaker in a black triangle. Many scientists give us the advice: A person shouldnt eat more sodium than the daily limit every day, which equals about one teaspoon of salt. “Its
26、not hard to get 2.3 grams of sodium into your mouth,” said Dr Howard Weintraub from New York University Langone Center(预防中心). A study found New Yorkers eat more than 3,200 mg of sodium each day on average(平均), the health department said. For most Americans, eating in the restaurants such as Chipotle
27、(小辣椒) and Subway(赛百味)is thought to be more healthy. The new menu symbol may be an eye-opener for people who go to eat in these restaurants. Until Tuesday, they may havent noticed that there is 2,790 mg sodium in a Chipotle loaded chicken burrito(双层鸡肉卷). And a foot-long spicy Italian sub(香辣三明)has 2,9
28、80 mg sodium in Subway. Getting New Yorkers to start watching their sodium intake is a first step. And people should do more to improve their health. “Things are not going to work out great if all you do is just not eat salt,” Weintraub said. “But maybe, just maybe, theyll start to watch how much th
29、ey eat, maybe they will get off the subway a stop earlier and walk, instead of taking the elevator, they will walk two flights, there will be some weight loss.” 31. Whats the symbol on the menus like? A. A white bottle in the red circle. B. A tiny salt shaker in a black triangle.C. A capital letter
30、P in a yellow circle.D. A coffee cup in a white triangle32. A Chipotle loaded chicken burrito has _ sodium more than the daily limit. A. 490 mg B. 900 mg C. 2,790 mg D. 3,200 mg33.

31、t one teaspoon of salt each day on average C. eating too much salt can cause heart disease and stroke D. New York will ban (禁止) smoking in public places34. The underlined word “eye-opener” in the passage probably means “_”.A. 喜悦 B. 愤怒 C. 失望 D. 震惊35. According to Weintraub, which is a healthy life st
32、yle? A. People should eat no salt when they are old. B. Jim takes the elevator up and down. C. Lucy climbs a long flight of stairs. D. We should eat meals which are high in sodium. CThere is really little doubt that the British are different from other members of the European Community as some recen
33、t statistics demonstrate(说明). Take marriage for instance. Nowhere else in Europeexcept for Portugalhas fewer marriages. Yet Britain has the highest divorce rate-almost half of all marriages end up on the rocks. Italian couples are six times more likely to stick together. Of those who divorce, Britis
34、h men seem far more willing to take another chance than women divorces.However, Britain measures up pretty well in other departments. It is the second safest place in Europe to drive a car, beaten only by Norway. There are many more fatal road accidents in France, Spain and Portugal. Also, the reput
35、ation the British have for being work-shy is not confirmed(确认) by statistics. At an average of forty-four hours a week they beat even the hard-working Germans by four hours. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this. Britain and Holland share the worst rates of job absenteeism(旷工) in the whole of E
36、urope. The Dutch and the British, so alike in many superficial(表面的) senses, differ markedly in one area: The British lock up twice as many people as the Dutch do.36Which country seems to have the most safe marriages?APortugal BItaly CBritain DFrance37Divorced men in Britain _ .Ausually do not get ma

41、Academy one of the worlds most popular online education websites.In 2006, Khan made homemade videos to help his seventh grade cousin with math.

42、erican (孟加拉裔美国人), Khan understands that many kids, especially those in developing countries, cannot get a good education. He himself has three degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and one from Harvard._44_. Thus, his courses are all offered for free. “Our mission (任务) is to provide a f

If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. I
46、n the US, many people dont have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from morning to late afternoon, so they dont have time to take exercise. Most westerners live too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to dr
47、ive one or two hours to their offices. This is not good in two ways. First, these people dont have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and needs too much attention. It makes a person very
48、tired. So, when these people arrive home at night, they dont want to take exercise after work.Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them.
