21、Living a healthy life is all about choosing to make healthy choices each day. We’ve put together some good tips for starting a healthy life.
Create specific health goals
When you have specific goals you want to achieve, you’ll be more encouraged to make changes in your life. 【1】. And then you can set smart goals that are specific and measurable to better achieve your success.
【2】
It’s no secret that eating health y food is one of the keys to achieving a healthy life. When you follow a healthy diet, you reduce the risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and other diseases. More than that, healthy eating can relax you and make you happy.
Drink plenty of water
Just like tasty food, water is necessary to keep your body healthy. Water helps you digest(消化)food, keeps you hydrated(补水), and protects your body. 【3】. This amount can change depending on your age, weight, and physical activity level.
Exercise regularly
Find a type of physical activity that’s enjoyable for you. 【4】. Being active helps you lose weight, improves your cognitive function(认知能力), and lifts your spirits. Experts suggest that adults get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week.
Get enough sleep
A good night’s sleep can help you avoid getting sick, keep a healthy weight, and start a good day. Most adults need at least 7 hours of quality sleep each night. 【5】.
A．Keep a healthy diet
B．Get into shape before school starts
C．Be positive about yourself and your body
D．The good points of physical activity are endless
E．You should know what parts of your life you want to improve
F．Children need from 8 to 13 hours depending on how old they are
G．You should drink about 3.1 L of water a day to stay properly hydrated
22、Despite earning more than $100,000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that a loss of employment or sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low income earners. This feeling of being on the “edge” of poverty, despite these levels of income, seems a bit ridiculous but it really comes down to easy credit, misunderstanding of their incomes and peer (同辈) group pressures.
Even in today’s tough economy, for those with six-figure incomes credit is easy to come by. Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets(等级) due to the recent credit reforms, but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners. Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford. That’s why they accumulate credit card debt faster than average.
Many higher income earners feel like they are making lots of money now, and believe that they will continue to make big money. This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now. Hand in hand with that, many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are—or said another way, the money they make will go farther than it really does.
Meanwhile, many young professionals who are earning good incomes don’t come from particularly privileged backgrounds, and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were—so they spend like that us well. They don’t take account of the effect of inflation(通货膨胀), which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents’ generation. Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax. Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes, many high income earners only look at the top figures. A $100,000 income before tax is only about $70,000 after tax.
【1】Who is the text centered on?
A．The upper middle class.
B．Hie lower income group.

B．They need to look ahead rather than look back.
C．They actually don’t earn as much as they think.

【4】Which of the following might be discussed in the next paragraph?
A．Effects of peer group pressures.
B．Ways to keep financial stability.
C．Harm of poor money management.
D．Tips on reducing the risk of poverty.
23、 When I was young, I had a wrong understanding of being great. I believed I was special and different and should be rich and famous because of my talent. I was going to live my dream rather than being a “normal” person. But as time passed, reality set in and my perspective changed.
I am a teacher, married to a salesman with a baby and a mortgage（按揭贷款）. Could my life be more normal? Yet, I am okay with this.
Were I to have a conversation with my twenty-year-old self, she wouldn't understand why I'm not going to NYC to get an audition （试演）. In four years my coworkers have never heard me sing. If I'd bought a house, it should have been in an interesting neighborhood with coffee houses at every corner. She would laugh at the corner house in the neighborhood I now call home.
But I know things she didn't know. Life is so much more complicated, wonderful and terrible. I know what it means to work for love, not just sitting back and letting it happen the way it can when you're young. I know about bringing life into the world, and the complexity of emotions.
My life is simple. It is small, and may seem interchangeable with so many other lives there. I may never make an impact outside my house. But I've learned it is important to be relative. To my little girl, I am irreplaceable. When she cries, she calls for “Mama”. When she reaches out, it's for me alone. So, is it a small life? It's perfectly fine to me. In fact, I think it's what I've wanted all along.

B．We will come back to a normal life some day.
C．We should keep in contact with our families.
D．We can be the one we feel satisfied with.
24、Roboticists at the University of California San Diego have developed an affordable, easy to use system to track the location of flexible surgical robots inside the human body. The system performs as well as current state of the art methods, but the whole system, including the robot, magnets and magnet localization setup, costs around $100. Many current methods also require exposure to radiation, while this system does not.
The system was developed by Tania Morimoto, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, and mechanical engineering Ph. D. student Connor Watson.
“Continuum medical robots work really well in highly constrained (受限的) environments inside the body,” Morimoto said. “But it becomes a lot harder to track their location and their shape inside the body.” The researchers used existing magnet localization methods, which work very much like GPS, to develop a computer model that predicts the robot’s location.
GPS satellites ping (发送) smartphones and based on how long it takes for the signal to arrive, the GPS receiver in the smartphone can determine where the cell phone is. Similarly, researchers know how strong the magnetic field should be around the magnet placed in the robot. They rely on four sensors that are carefully spaced around the area where the robot operates to measure the magnetic field strength. Based on how strong the field is, they are able to determine where the tip of the robot is.
Morimoto and Watson went a step further. They then trained a neural network to learn the difference between what the sensors were reading and what the model said the sensors should be reading. As a result, they improved localization accuracy to track the tip of the robot. “Ideally we are hoping that our localization tools can help improve these kinds of growing robot technologies. We do want to push this research forward so that we can test our system in a clinical setting and eventually translate it into clinical use,” Morimoto said.
【1】What be learnt about the system according to the text?
A．It’s complex.
B．It’s low-cost.
C．It’s delicate.
D．It’s radioactive.
【2】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The system’s working principle.
B．The function of GPS satellites.
C．The reason for inventing the system,
D．The necessity of inventing the system.
【3】What do Morimoto and Watson expect of the system?
A．It’ll be environmentally-friendly.
B．It’ll be sold on the Internet soon,
C．I’ll be easy for us to operate.
D．It’ll be tested with real patients.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A magazine.
D．A novel.
