24、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和表格，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，使意思完整

It’s important to develop the healthy habits in your daily life. The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.

Eat properly. A healthy diet（饮食）is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them the energy they need, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn’t have too many sweet snacks and desserts(甜点) in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.

Keep off germs(病菌). You need to have daily tooth cleaning. It reduces the number of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you’re not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze（打喷嚏）into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you’d better rub both hands while washing them.

Exercise regularly(有规律地). Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance. What’s more, it’s good for bones. There are many forms of exercise such as walking or running for about 30 minutes a day playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.

Stay connected. Talking with friends regularly is the key to reducing stress. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help improve memory. Having a friend or a circle of friends can help you feel good.

25、   I caught a cold. It was really a bad cold. Actually, the doctor later told me that I has the flu. The flu was so bad that I couldn’t even swallow(吞咽)!

I knew I should drink more fluids — water, soup or juice — and maybe take some medicine. But I couldn’t. Each time I tried to swallow, it hurt so much. So my dad took me to the hospital.

A doctor came in. He looked over my throat. After his examination, he said, “Nothing serious to worry about. You have the flu.”

“Why is it so bad?” I asked. “Can you prescribe(给……开药) me some medicine so that I don’t suffer so much?”

“No,” the doctor said. “No medicine can cure(治疗) your flu. Your body’s immune system(免疫系统) will fight the sickness for you.”

I had not realized this in the past. Everything had always seemed so natural. Now, I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle(奇迹). My body does these jobs amazingly well — and yet quietly, without my noticing.

I don’t remember how many days it took me to cure, but I do remember what my father told me. He said that we should all be thankful to our bodies and the miracle of how they are built.

28、每空格限填一词，首字母已给。

As a child, I learnt how to make paper masks from newspapers and old magazines. Later I used coloured cardboard. Making masks seemed like a popular art activity. After we made the masks, my classmates and I would put them on and pretend to be people that we were not. By hiding our faces b 【1】 the masks, it did not seem ridiculous to pretend to be an old man or a baby. Immediately, the mask helped us to step into the shoes of a 【2】  character.

A mask allows a person to take on different characters, to pretend and make-believe. Have you ever w   【3】 what the actual face of the clown at the circus is like? The clown’s mask, with white smiling mouth and the round red cheeks, covers whatever the clown r   【4】  looks like.

Masks can also be used to hide what we do not want people to see. For example, the Phantom of the Opera, tells the story of a man who fell in l   【5】 with a beautiful woman. However, one side of his face was ugly and terrible to show anyone. Thus, he wore a mask to hide that part of his face.

Adults, more than children wear different masks every day. These are not actual masks like the types that are made in art classes in schools. These masks refer to the person’s ability to hide his real thoughts and feelings. He will behave in different ways no matter what he is actually feeling i 【6】 . Sometimes, we will put on a happy face even though we are s 【7】 . We wear masks because we do not want people whom we do not know well to know what we are actually thinking and feeling.
