AEverybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up (旋) his alarm clock. He tried to shave quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter. He showed him where the meter was, said good­bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the po lice were sure that he was not the man they wanted.

While many people are able to achieve this lifestyle, there are even more that are looking for ways to improve their health. Here are 5 tips to help you.1．Healthy dietThe food you eat plays a huge role in what type of lifestyle you live. If you eat fast food every day, you clearly don’t have the best diet. You should eat vegetables, fruits, bread as well as meat and fish, and even some snack foods once in a while.2．WaterDrink plenty of water every day and it is good for your health. Usually you need to drink 8～10 glasses of water a day.3．ExerciseTake some exercise every day. You can take a walk, play ball games with your friends, or ride a bike. Exercise is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle.4．Have funGetting out and having fun is crucial because it helps let out the stresses. Go out for a movie with your friends once in a while. Go to the park and enjoy a nice sunny day. Or just lie down and read a book.5．SleepWithout enough sleep, our immune system(免疫系统) will be weak and it will be difficult to get through the day. Getting a good night’s sleep can make the world of a difference in how you feel and how much you can do the next day.25．The underlined word “crucial” probably means ________.A．important B．interestingC．relaxing D．useless26．A healthy diet includes all of the following EXCEPT ________.A．vegetables and fruit B．bread and fishC．snack foods sometimes D．fast food very often27. Which is WRONG according to the passage?A．We’d better drink 8 or more glasses of water a day.B．Enough sleep will do good to our immune system.C．Few people are enjoying a healthy lifestyle.D．Eating fast food too often is not good for your health.CTo most of us，school means classes，teachers，schedules，grades，and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts，school is very different.Firstly，there are no lessons. All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want. There are no teachers—only “staff members”．The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn，because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three­year­old，‘Go to e xplore your environment.’ You can’t stop them！”says Daniel G re enberg，a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day，they wi ll lose all taste(兴趣) for learning.”At Sudbury Valley School，you will permit children to talk，read，paint，cook，work on computers，study French，play the piano，climb trees，or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week，there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four­year­olds. They decide the school rules，how to spend the school budget(预算)，and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.When the school first opened in 1968，people said it would n ever work. But today，the school has 200 students，and 80% of its students go on to c ollege. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them isa musician and the other is a computer scientist.28. What is the main topic of the article?A．An unusual schoolB．Children’s hobbiesC．A school without rulesD．Education in the US29．What does the school believe?A．Teachers cannot teach children well.B．Children learn be st when they do what they want to do.C．Learning is for adults—children should only play.D．Children should only learn about one thing at a time.30．What does Daniel Greenberg say about three­year­olds?A．They love learningB．They are very naughty.C．They want to be outside all the time.D．They are too young to learn anything.31．What happens to the children after they leave this school?A．They do all things in different ways.B．They have problems getting into college or getting a job.C．Most of them have a promising(光明的,有前途的) future.D．They are not successful.DOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to sa y; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they wantyou to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them— Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest thing s you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!______— Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!32.
