25、There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false (虚假的) ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles (肌肉) will turn into fat. Here are some more myths.
I’ll never lose weight—I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume (消耗) more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately (精确地).
Exercise is boring Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it again and again. The key is to develop a balanced and varied (各种的) program that's fun as well as progressive (不断进步的). If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different mute. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class.
No pain, no gain Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something is wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury (伤害). You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear quickly. If they don't, rest and ask for medical advice.
【1】What does the writer think about being fat?
A. It is the family genes that make people fat.
B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.
D. It is the result of people's unbalanced lifestyle.
【2】According to the writer, how can we make exercise more interesting?
A. By taking all kinds of exercise.
B. By choosing simple exercise.
C. By doing regular exercise.
D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.
【3】What is the writer's opinion about "No pain, no gain" in exercising?
A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience
B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.
C. Pain in exercise is a precondition (前提) for reaching your goal.
D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.
【4】The underlined words “adapting to” means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 适应 B.顺从 C. 摆脱 D. 陷入
【5】What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To show the importance of keeping fit.
B. To clarify (澄清) some misconceptions (误解) about fatness and exercise.

26、Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
I never saw mum angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. I was "too emotional(情绪化的)". But she lived "on the surface". As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to change her.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for any sister and brother.
"But the desk," she said again, "is for Elizabeth."
The present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.
"Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words."

27、 Wu Yue, a 14-year-old student at a Junior High School in Hangzhou, usually has lunch with his classmates in their dining hall. But one day, a newcomer, the school headmaster, joined them at the same table. They talked about the food that the dining hall offered and had a nice chat.
Wu is not alone. Many students across China have the chance to eat with their headmasters. The government issued a notice on food safety and nutrition (营养) management in schools, asking headmasters from kindergarten to high school to have meals with students. The rule took effect (生效) on April 1st.
Many schools now have seats for school managers when they eat with students in the dining hall. After talking with them, the managers have to write reports and make suggestions to dining hall workers. Many students were asked about the food that they liked most. To their surprise, their favorite dishes appeared in the dining hall later, “It’s not just about the food. It makes me feel that I have a say in school,” explained one student. “My ideas are valued.”
Some headmasters regard these mealtime conversations as their main chance to communicate with students. And they notice that some students prefer meat to vegetables. “We are thinking about how to improve the dining hall’s dishes and provide students with a healthy diet,” one headmaster said. As students become more familiar with the school managers, they begin to express their own points of view.
“It’s important to understand students’ requirements. Our practice shows the school’s sense of responsibility,” another headmaster said.

阅读下列短文,根据短文信息完成文后表格,每空一词。
Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应),the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.
