What is health？The definition from WHO states that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. So, rather than having a balanced diet or a balanced workout and so on, people need to find a balance between all those factors for health living.【1】

Try to eat more fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables provide enzymes(酶) for the body, which help to absorb the nutrients from your meal. Drink as much water as possible throughout the day. Keep improving your diet plan, by learning about different healthy food.

【2】No matter which type of exercise you take up, try to get around 20 minutes every day. Don’t give up!

If you are suffering from some health problems, you should find the causes behind them，and then try to avoid them. For example, load yourself up with vitamin C rich food to avoid a common cold.【3】

Deep breathing is not only good for your lungs, but also can be used to calm your mind. Take a deep breath whenever you get stressed and then breathe out; repeat it around 10 times. The result will be surprising.

【4】There are various types of meditation. Try to experiment with different types，and then choose the one that feels suitable; try to practice it for an hour a day.Whenever you think you have become overloaded with study，take a break. Plan a small vacation alone or with a friend, or go to a garden.【5】

D．Walking is a good way to keep healthy.

E．To prevent sport injuries, make sure you warm up well before any exercise.

29、Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

But for many people the thought of food as first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.

For those who feel pain or guilt about not earing breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with not taking breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition（营养）at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance.”

Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”

【1】For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______.

A. the missing of breakfast does no harm to one’s health.

B. several studies have been done in the past few years.

C. adults have especially made studies in this field.

D. eating little in the morning is good for health.

【2】The underlined sentence “…nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance” in the 3rd paragraph means ______.

A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance.

B. not giving people breakfast improves performance.

C. people having breakfast do improve their performances, too.

D. having breakfast does not improve performance, either.

【3】The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to ______.

A. stories, poems, plays, etc.

B. written works on particular subject.

C. any printed material.

D. the modern literature of America.

【4】What is suggested but NOT STATED by the author is that ______.

A. breakfast does not affect performance.

B. Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning.

C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children.

D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London.

30、Hawthorne and his younger sister, Linda, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. They had only a little money. As they had not paid the ______ for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).

One day, Hawthorne took Linda’s shoes to be ______, but he lost them on the way home. He was afraid that his parents would be ______, so he begged his sister to keep it secret.

The day of race arrived. Hawthorne had a ______ start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Linda and his ______ to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right ______ the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Hawthorne from behind and he ______ to the ground.

Hawthorne looked ______ and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could and won the fourth prize. ______ he would let her sister down, Hawthorne couldn’t help crying.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Every year, Vargas and her dad go hiking. This summer’s trip was up Table Rock in the Grand Tentons in early December.

Vargas was just below the 11, 000-foot peak with her dad waiting about a mile down the trail when she met an injured English springer spaniel. She couldn’t find the dog’s owner and she figured it would be easier for her to carry the dog to safety.

“I had to crawl under him to get him up on my shoulders,”said Vargas, a single mother of three children from Idaho. “I felt the difficulty of it right away. I never felt 55 pounds like that before.”

Her dad, Ted Kasper, who took some photos when he saw his daughter coming down the trail with a dog on her shoulders. Dad laughed and said, “Isn’t this hike hard enough? You must carry a dog too?” Vargas recalled. “My dad made me laugh. He is such a great man.”

That sense of humor helped Vargas get through the difficulty of carrying the heavy dog down the trail. The hiking was hard and nearly unbearable at times. Every time Vargas put him down so she could rest, it was difficult. And every time she got down on her knees to put her head under his belly and tried to use neck and body strength to lift him, she was painful and it was hard.

“I thought we would see people on the trail on the way down to help. But that wasn’t the case.” she said. Kasper offered to run down the trail and try to find help, but Vargas didn’t want to be left alone.

About halfway down the trail, Vargas thought she might not be able to continue. At the time, it started to rain. “The thought of stopping crossed my mind once. My legs hurt and were shaking. My dad’s jokes made me laugh and it gave me energy. And feeling the dog’s breath growing faint was what encouraged me to continue,” she said.

Finally hiking six miles and reaching the bottom of the trail, Vargas found a very small note that said, “Lost dog named Boomer, call this number.”

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Vargas called the number immediately.
