Linda Evans was my best friend — like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times —like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea about how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cri ed and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

24. The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans ________.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the widespread use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major concern in many areas. So WHO officials are calling on governments to require taxes on sugary drinks. The officials believe the taxes also would reduce the risk of health problems resulting from obesity.

Obesity is a condition in which the body stores large, unhealthy amounts of fat. A new report says that in 2014 more than one-third of the adults in the world were overweight, and 500 million were considered obese. The United Nations agency estimates that in 2015, 42 million children under age 5 were either overweight or obese. Almost half of these boys and girls live in Asia and one-fourth in Africa.

The UN agency blames unhealthy diets for a rise in diabetes(糖尿病) cases. There are more than 400 million cases of the disease worldwide. The WHO says 1.5 million people die from it every day. It says the use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major reason for the increase in rates of obesity and diabetes.

Temo Waqanivalu is with the agency. He told VOA that taxing sugary drinks would reduce consumption and save lives. Waqanivalu noted that Mexico enacted a 10 percent tax on sugary drinks in 2014. He said by the end of the year, there was a 6 percent drop in the consumption of such drinks. Among poor people, the number of people who consumed sugary drinks dropped by 17 percent.

The WHO says people should limit the amount of sugar they consume. It says they should keep their sugar intake to below 10 percent of their total energy needs, and reduce it to less than 5 percent for improved health.

28. Why are taxes on sugary drinks required?

A. To limit their use and popularity.

B. To readjust the economic structure.

C. To warn people to change their lifestyle.

D. To ensure the market’s diverse development.

29. What do the figures in the second paragraph suggest?

A. Adult obesity is ignored at present.

B. Obesity can block economic development.

C. Obesity is a severe worldwide problem.

D. Obesity is most serious in developed countries.

30. What does the underlined word “enacted” mean in the passage?

A. Abolish.

B. Pass.

C. Promise.

D. Reduce.

31. What does the example of Mexico prove?

A. Tax policies are unfair to the poor.

B. Sugary drinks are a threat to health.

C. The poor consume more sugary drinks.

D. Taxing sugary drinks makes a difference.

Dear Students,

I am delighted to be your guest.

I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.

In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.

Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.

Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.

In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.

32. The speaker is giving a speech to students in __________.

A. India

B. Canada

C. Turkey

D. China

33. The underlined word “ famine ” in Paragraph 2 means __________.

A. extreme lack of food

B. joy

C. luck

D. pleasure

34. What can we learn about Rosa?

A. She’s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children.

B. She’s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children.

C. She’s a kind-hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children.

D. She’s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children.

35. For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese boy?

A. Their bravery.

B. Their luck.

C. Their age.

D. Their strong mind.

Making the Most of the Body's Clock

Want to know when the best time is to do your homework and study for your exams? Then just take advantage of your body's clock, and you can work more efficiently（效率高地）and more happily. 36

Research shows that in the morning your body can take fatty foods more easily, so don't worry too much about having a big breakfast. 37 So if you need to go to the doctor's for an injection（注射）,this is the best time to go!

Did you know that the best time for the brain to work well is between 10:00 a.m. and noon? Therefore, that's the time when you should be listening to your teachers the most attentively. Lunch-time

Between noon and 2:00 p.m. is the best time for eating. The body clock tells your body to help you digest your food at this time, so you have less chance of suffering from stomachache. Early Afternoon

38 There is a slowdown in the speed your brain works, so it's not the best time to solve difficult maths problems.

Late Afternoon

After three o'clock, the body clock starts to tell your body to start working again. 39 So why not try to start and finish your homework during this time period?

Late evening

Between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. is the time people are most likely to feel lonely. 40 Another problem students have at night time is difficulty in sleeping. If you want a good night's sleep, just take a warm bath and don't do any exercise before you sleep. Avoid staying up late.

A. Everyone's body clock is slightly different.

B. From 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. your body is at its fittest.

C. A good sleep helps to clear your brain and relax your mind.

D. Let's now find out what activities are best for us at different times of the day.

E. The body is best at fighting pain between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

F. This may be one reason why students like to phone or meet their friends at this time.

G. The body's temperature usually drops at this time and all the body systems slow down.
