28、Summer has finally arrived, which means kids are bound for the outdoors. It can be exciting for kids and parents to have a great opportunity to go swimming, picnicking or on adventures. This time of year is also a dangerous time of year as almost half of all injury-related deaths in children occur between May and August. Whether it be in the pool, on bike, out in the sun or in the backyard is always important. Here are some tips to keep the family safe over the summer.
Water Safety
At this time of year, drowning deaths among children skyrocket(飞涨) compared to the rest of the year. Never leave your child alone in the water, even in shallow water. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons. Some swim schools offer class for children as young as 6 months.
Sun Safety
We are fortunate enough to live in the Sunshine State, where sun shines year-round. But with all the time you and the kids will be spending outdoors this summer, it’s important to protect yourself. Make sure to use a widely-used sunscreen(防晒霜) that blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. Cotton clothing has an estimated SPF of only 6, so even if your kids are going out wearing T-shirts and shorts, make sure they are covered up.
Bike Safety
Nothing says summer like a nice neighborhood bike ride. But bikes are not toys and can certainly cause injury. Don’t forget to always wear a helmet. Head injuries are reduced by 85 Percent when riders wear a helmet and other safety equipment like knee and wrist pads. It’s estimated that 75 percent of bicycle-related deaths could have been prevented with bicycle helmets. When riding on the street, make sure kids understand all riding hand signals, ride with the traffic flow and stay as far right as possible.
【1】Summer is called a dangerous time because children .
A. are easily injured
B. enjoy staying in the sun
C. want to learn swimming
D. refuse to accept advice
【2】What can be learned from the passage?
A. Kids only need to wear T-shirts and shorts.
B. Bikes, like toys, seldom lead to injury.
C. Some swim schools offer children class for free.
D. Deaths from drowning increase suddenly in summer.
29、 A teenager from the UK almost died because of an addiction to unhealthy exercise.
Lisa Fouweather, 19, was so addicted to working out that she ran half marathons before breakfast. She started to practice running, hoping to become excellent at her running club, but quickly became addicted.
She was hardly eating to keep in shape. The teen’s meals would only include a few pieces of food from her “safe foods” list which was mainly fruit and vegetables. She would avoid anything containing sugar or fat. “I would throw my orange juice and bread out of the window when my parents left the room,” she said. At one point, her weight dropped to just 75 pounds — around 34 kg.
This helped to improve her running in the short-term when, in fact, her whole life was falling apart. It affected her education as she would turn up late to school every day to finish her morning running. She said, “Six-mile runs became half marathons, all on an empty stomach before breakfast. Upon my return, I would eat only fruit.”
However, although warned by her parents, Lisa refused to admit she had a problem and wouldn’t give up her way of working out until one day she had a heart attack after her running and was rushed to hospital, where she was diagnosed with anorexic (厌食症) and banned from exercise. “I was told that I could have died because my heart was under great pressure.” She was given dieting advice by doctors to help treat her eating disorders. Thanks to hard work and professional help, she managed to put a stop to her extreme exercise and dieting and has been in recovery for nearly three years.
Lisa said, “I want people who are going through the same problem as I did to know that there is help and support out there, and don’t wait until you’re at breaking point to seek that help.”
【1】Why did Lisa start practicing running at first?
A.To become great at the running club.
B.To keep in shape.
C.To help her with her diet.
D.To improve her education.
【2】Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lisa ended up in hospital?
A.She ran half marathons on an empty stomach.
B.She had an unhealthy way of eating.
C.She didn’t get any warning from others.
D.She wouldn’t quit her wrong way of exercise at first.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.There are many people going through the same problem as Lisa did.
B.Lisa can provide help and support to people with the same problem.
C.You can wait for help if you’re going through the same problem.
D.People with the same problem should ask for help in time.
【4】Which section of a website might this passage probably be taken from?
A.Science.
B.Technology.
C.Health.
D.Nature.

31、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A few years ago, I enjoyed my summer vacation at New York’s Harriman State Park with a good friend. The place 【1】 we were going to was the beautiful Lake Sebago. It was certainly a nice place with tent platforms, a number of kayaks and swimming areas. It was quite 【2】(convenience) for us to fish there.
As soon as we reached the best nearby fishing spot, my friend began unloading the baggage, and passed me a fishing pole with a piece of red cloth attached 【3】 it. I positioned the pole in what I considered 【4】 (be) the perfect place and tried to cast (扔) the line in the water. After just a few failed tries, I finally had it down. Soon a 10-inch bluegill(蓝腮太阳鱼)caught it. Feeling excited but nervous, I pulled it up. The water was rather shallow (浅), so the fish wasn’t able to sink down or really run with the line. Even though it jumped out of the water several times during my struggle with this very first fish, I was still able to hold on 【5】 (patient).
At this time, my friend began running around the dock like a child madly in search of something. I never realized what that reaction was about until he shouted at me, looking very 【6】 (excite), “Hey, man, congratulations to you. This is the biggest fish that 【7】(catch) by us since half a year ago.”
I caught a total of six fish that day. There are many 【8】 (benefit) from fishing beside a lake or a river. It is both an 【9】(recreate) and an entertainment. I will never be fed 【10】 with such an outdoor activity.
