26、It would be nice if eating a particular food could magically protect you against all the boring illnesses. It’s not that simple, of course. Hand washing remains your best defense against picking up illnesses, and sleep is a strong defense too. But what you eat does play an important part. Though it isn’t because of just one or two foods, what you eat in your daily diet have an effect on how weak or strong your immunity(免疫力)is.
We’d better eat fruits and vegetables every day. They contain key vitamins needed in the immune system. For example, Vitamin C and Ain foods help immune system work well to keep us healthy. Remember that eating the actual fruit or veggie is better than eating single-vitamin supplements(补品).
Getting too little protein(蛋白质) can weaken your immune system. Protein-rich foods supply the amino acids(氨基酸)you need to build important proteins in the body. Animal foods like beef and pork also contain zinc(锌), which your body uses to make t-cells.
Fermented foods are foods that are naturally protected by bacteria(细菌), and they’re good for the micro biome(微生物).That’s the name for the bacteria that live in your stomach, where a lot of cells in immunity actually live. Fermented foods like yogurt help beneficial bacteria develop fast in the stomach, leaving less room for harmful bacteria.

A.Hand washing is necessary.
B.Illnesses make people bored.
C.Immunity has much to do with your diet.

27、 When I was at school, read Gavin Maxwell’s book Ring of Bright Water. Affected by the story, I travelled to Sandaig and saw the house and one of the otters (水獭) with Andrew Scot (Gavin’s otter keeper). Later, I wrote to Gavin about my visit to his home and surroundings, and after the fire that destroyed Sandaig house he invited me to his new home in the remote countryside on Eilean Ban.
Gavin expressed the hope that I would take advantage of my interest in keeping a diary and write. On his death, I entered a competition for young writers about my experience of meeting Gavin, with story titled Bach to Paradise. Melvyn Bragg, the competition’s judge, spoke highly of my story, which he found to be “very moving” and added that he had enjoyed it “very much”.
Encouraged by Melvyn’s comments, I became a regular contributor to The Northumbrian Magazine, until I left the north-east of England in 1992 to live on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border. To emulate Gavin’s lifestyle, I chose to live in a remote farmhouse as what he did on the edge of the Bronte moors for over 20 years, with only wildlife for neighbors. During this time, I earned my living as countryside ranger (护林人) and helped the public to learn about the countryside through guided walks and events and by giving lectures.
Then I became a teacher, photographer and writer. Without Gavin, it is unlikely that I would have achieved the same success.
Thanks to the way of life I chose, my daughter, Mary, has recently gained her honorary degree in zoo management. She told me she had been inspired by my sparking (激发) her curiosity in the wildlife around our home.
【1】What did Gavin ever expect the author to do?
A.Write about his new home. B.Read as much as possible.
C.Spend more time writing. D.Enter a literary contest.
【2】Which of the following best explains “emulate” underlined in paragraph 3?
A.adjust. B.refuse. C.change. D.copy.
【3】What’s the main reason for Mary’s major choice?
A.Her devotion to animal protection. B.Her desire to know about wildlife.
C.Her respect for her strict father. D.Her love of Gavin Maxwell’s works.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Gavin Maxwell’s influence. B.Melvyn Bragg’s encouragement.
C.Benefits of country life. D.Protection of wildlife.
28、 Jim worked at a radio station all his life. He was a well-known and famous radio show host. All of his friends and workmates knew him by one feature (特征): if he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him: ‘No one ever sees you, why do you dress like that?’, but he always turned that into a joke.
One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show focusing on the oldest radio employees. For the first time the people, who only knew him by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked:
“Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not horrible, but I’m still interested, why?”
“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I don’t have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean sock is not enough. It needs to be in new socks. So I needed to go to the store for socks.”
“But why do you need new socks?” The director was surprised. “You could have come without the socks, because we will be filming you only in close-up, over the waist.”
“You see, to be perfect on-air, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket. And if my socks have holes in them, or my shoes are dirty, I’m not perfect anymore.”

B.It is never too old to learn.
C.One can never be too careful.
D.Doing is much better than saying.
29、When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).

PISA is a two-hour test that compares the performance of 15-year-olds. In the latest test, the countries with the best readers were South Korea and Finland. But students in Shanghai.
