Mailing your entry on October 30.BGym class was not considered important at the private school I attended from kindergarten to Grade 6 and the words “movement
15、 skill development” would have caused brows to wrinkle(起皱). For Grades 7 and 8 I moved into the public school system. It was the early 1980s and we had to wear green gym shorts and white T-shirts with the school crest（饰章）on them. We had to climb ropes. We had to go for long runs in the valley beside
16、 the school and excuses were not allowed. My mom, also somewhat of a “non-sporty mom”, wrote me notes to get me out of this nightmare once a month. And when she didnt, I sometimes forged my own. One day I arrived for gym class with my note explaining why I could not participate. It was signed by my
17、“mother”. There were at least two classes of Grade 8 girls sitting on the side of the hill when I boldly（冒失地）presented my note. The PE teacher asked me why my mothers signature looked so messy. What I said next might be the finest example of just how stupid I was when I was13: “Its messy because she
18、 signed it while she was driving.”My classmates giggled（傻笑）nervously. I thought maybe I had pushed things too far but wasnt at all prepared for what happened next. The teacher grabbed my ear and dragged me all the way up the millions of stairs, through the miles of hallways, and into the principals
19、office. That was where my memories from junior high gym class ended. The next year I went to the first day of Grade 9 gym with a positive outlook, high hopes, and good intentions. But all I ended up developing was the habit of hiding in the girls bathroom for the duration of the class. When my couns
20、ellor（辅导员）called a meeting between me and the gym teacher later that year, I remember the teacher looking at me and saying, “I wouldnt know this girl was in my class if I hit her with my car.”24.

21、terrible all the way. C. It helped her improve sports skills. D. It was tiring but interesting at public school. 25. Which can replace the underlined word “forged” in paragraph 3?

22、 a lie to the teacher. B. She had an argument with others. C. She made the same mistake repeatedly. D. She was too careless in signing her name. 27. When did the authors attitude to gym class change for the better? A. At the beginning of Grade 9. B. In the early eighties. C. In the middle of Grade 8
23、. D. During Grades 7 and 8. CLike you and your pet dog, plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow. Unlike you and your dog, they cant run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the covers when theyre threatened. But they can fight back. Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being
24、 eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place. Think of plants youve seen growing on steep, rocky cliffs（悬崖）. Or, a plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a pla
25、nt produced really tasty leaves, herbivores（creatures that eat only plants）might eat the leaves instead of the seeds, which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or slippery（滑的）parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns（刺）on a ros
26、ebush. But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, plants produce chlorophyll（叶绿素）, which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat. They also
27、produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plants releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying “Dinners ready!” The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant. Most plants use chemicals in a more dir
28、ect way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison. 28. What does the underlined word “convert” mean? A. Change. B. Separate. C. Form. D. Produce. 29. What do we know from the passage? A. Some plants hide under the covers when faced with threat. B. A plant grows in a hard-to-get-to pl

What may be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Different effects that different plant poisons cause on plant eaters. B. Different kinds
30、 of plants in the world. C. Why plants make poison. D. How to protect plants. 31. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Plant informationB. Plant enemiesC. Plant poisonsD.

You might feel tired or uneasy, and wont be able to work out as enthusiastically as you would have. A light amount of food is important for older adul

Theres some research to support the idea that working out in a fasted（禁食的）state can burn more fat than exer
33、cising in a fed state. Working out on an empty stomach, however, may also not prove true for everyone. “Some people advocate for lasted exercise, but these people tend to be young and in amazing physical - shape, ” says Douglas Paddon-Jones, a muscle physiology researcher and a professor of aging an

For people who arent athletes, fueling up with food before a workout may be the best way to get the most fat-burning benefit. “You dont want to fill up; you just want to give your body a burst of energy to power your training period.
