21、Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
【1】The writer thinks that________.
A．health is more important than wealth
B．work is as important as studies
C．medicine is more important than pleasure
D．nothing is more important than money
【2】The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ______ .
A．without examining the patient
B．after he has examined the patient
C．if the patient doesn’t take medicine
D．unless the patient feels pain
【3】The underlined part means “_____ ”.
A．he was feeling better than ever
B．he wasn’t a healthy man
C．he was feeling worse than before
D．he will be well again
【4】From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_____before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A．was a heavy smoker
B．didn’t smoke so much
C．didn’t smoke
D．began to learn to smoke
【5】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.
B．The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.
C．The man thanked the doctor.
D．The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice.
22、Is it important for teenagers to own the latest cell-phone models? There are different ways of looking at this question.
First, why do teenagers need to have the latest models? Often it’s just to show off. The paradox is that there are many teenagers who own the latest cell-phone models but don’t even know how to use them properly. This is true. They just want one because their friends have similar ones, or because they take very good videos and photos.
On the other hand, if they do know how to use them, the latest cell phones are really good. They not only help teens to stay in touch with friends and family, but also help them to access the Internet and download pictures, videos or music they need when studying. These new phones are so powerful that having one is almost like having a whole library in your pocket. It’s an instant (即刻的) source of information that helps young people get the latest news. But many parents, thinking only of such positive sides, do not take into consideration the potential dangers. For example, children may constantly be distracted (分心) during class by sending and receiving text messages.
Each young generation loves the new technologies available — just think back to when you were a kid. But your job as a parent is to make sure your child gets the most out of this technology with the least possible harm.
【1】According to the second paragraph, teenagers want to have the latest cell-phone models because ________.
A．they want to show they are fashionable
B．they think the latest models help them a lot with study
C．they think they can keep in touch with others more easily
D．they want to learn how to use new technologies
【2】The underlined word “paradox” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _________.
A．fault
B．problem
C．benefit
D．imagination
【3】We can infer from the last paragraph that the author thinks _______.
A．a new generation always loves new things
B．parents also liked technological products when they were young
C．parents should make sure children use the new technologies properly
D．parents shouldn’t allow children to own a cell Phone

24、Time Travel
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel. The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G. Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).
If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
【1】The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show ______.
A. the contribution of H.G .Wells B. the story’s different features
C. the long history of time travel D. people’s interest in time machine
【2】Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories _____.
A. suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
B. push the invention of the first spaceship
C. have proved wrong by some time travelers
D. have similarities in many way
【3】In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that ______.
A. the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B. the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible
C. the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
D. the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
【4】According to the passage, what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?
A. Skeptical. B. Unclear.
C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
