AAmerica’s top comic book storesNew York City, NY －JHU Comic BooksNYC has a number of impressive comic book stores. While other comic book stores in the city fill their shelves with other products like cards and board games, JHU focuses only on the comics themselves, with shelves filled with great selections of the latest releases and back issues from wall to wall. (32 East 32nd St, 212 — 268 — 7088)Austin, TX－Austin Books & ComicsOpened in 1977, Austin Books &. Comics is one of Texas’ biggest and longest running comic book stores. Not only do they sell the latest issues, they also carry many first editions and back issues. Good news is that they often hold regular book purchase discount activities, which means that you’d better consult them before your visit. (5002 N Lamar Blvd, 512－454－4197) Washington D. C. －Big Planet ComicsThis store, originally from Georgetown, prefers the more independent, small-press titles as well as stuff from Europe and Japan that your kids probably haven’t even heard of, but they also carry the more popular ones. True to its name, BPC has established its own comic book world, with book signing and meet-and-greet events, and their very own, though tiny, comic book publishing house. (1520 U St NW, 202 —342 —1961)Portland 9 OR －Floating World ComicsFloating World Comics is not only a comic book store but a community hosting art shows.

We’re being a bit silly thinking of dogs and cats going to the gym, but we do have a reason. Just like human beings, pets that don’t get enough exercise can become overweight. Overweight pets can develop serious health problems just like we can. So, if you have a pet, part of being a good owner is making sure that your pet gets the right amount and kind of exercise.Before you start your pet on an exercise program, be sure to schedule a check-up for your pet and ask your veterinarian how much and what type of exercise your pet needs.Just like humans, pets need to be started out slowly. Over time, they will get fit and be able to exercise for longer periods of time. If you exercise alongside your pet, you’ll benefit, too!Starting out, you might want to play with your pet for 15－20 minutes at a time. Gradually, you can turn those plays into several 30－minute walks or jogs each week. If your pet is especially active, you can extend them to an hour or longer.Of course, some pets, such as cats, may not be easy to take for a walk or a run. These pets still need exercise, though. Don’t underestimate the value of energetic indoor play, such as gamesof chase, for these types of pets.As you start exercising with your pet, here are some things to keep in mind:★Make sure your pet has plenty of water before, during, and after exercising.★If you have older pets, don’t push them as hard.★Watch the heat! If you are outside, exercising with your pet will be best early in the morning or later in the day.24. What do people think of pets exercising in the gym according to the first paragraph?A. Exciting.B. Reasonable.C. Ridiculous.D. Interesting.25. What does the underlined word “veterinarian” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A person who raises animals.B. A person who treats sick animals.C.

Ways to Treat Overweight PetsCAs health care costs continue to rise, a growing number of companies are working out programs designed to keep their employees healthy.Thomas Chapple is the senior vice president. “It’s really important to us because medical costs are going up like crazy,” he says. “This company spends more than $ 200 million a year on medical costs for its employees around the country. The best thing we have seen as a way to control the medical cost is individual fitness.”“We have a fitness center,” Shawn Flaherty, director of public relations for Freddie Mac., says. “We have a health benefits plan that encourages people to work out three times a week, get cholesterol （胆固醇）checks, as well as ‘do not smoke.’ If they do that, it will cost them less for the health benefits.”Rachelle Clark works for Freddie Mac. “I feel great. You know the benefit is rewarding. I like to look good and feel healthy. I am just fortunate that I work for the company that provides sometype of facility for the employees.”While on-site fitness centers are popular, some companies pay membership fees at local gyms for employees. The companies also offer classes such as boxing, yoga and dancing. Employees see those health programs as a valuable benefit.Tom Brook exercises five days a week. As a newspaper reporter he has a tight schedule, although Tom says it’s not that difficult for him to make time for a workout. “It is great. It is right here where we work,” says Tom. “So everybody gets a chance to use it whenever they want to. I have lost weight and never been in better shape.”The programs may not be a magic cure for rising health costs, but they seem to have a positive impact on both employers and employees.28.

How people keep healthy by doing exercise in their working places.DA new study, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that heavy use of platforms such as Facebook and Snapchat was associated with feelings of being separated from society among young adults—basically the opposite of what we are led to believe.Study co-author Brian Primack and his team surveyed 1,787 U. S. adults aged 19 to 32 and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms. They also asked participants questions related to social isolation, such as how often they felt left out. The participants who reported spending the most time on social media—over two hours a day—had twice the odds of perceived （感知到的）social isolation than those who said they spent a half-hour per day or less on the same sites.According to Tom Kersting, psychotherapist and author of Disconnected, the key to understand ing these results lies in our understanding of “connections.” “Humans are social —emotional beings, meaning that it is in our DNA to be connected, face-to-face, with other humans,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Although people think being on social media all t he time makes them ‘connected’ to others, they are actually ‘disconnected,’ because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spend face-to-face.”“Part of the issue of loneliness is that the majority of people who use social media aren’t just posting, they are also viewing,” Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else’s posts, where they are and what they are doing. The constant exposure to everyone else’s ‘perfect’ life experiences causes feelings of being left out.”So what’s the answer? It’s simple, says Kersting. “The solution to this is resisting the temptation to look at everyone else’s life. Just focus on your own life, where you’re going, what you are grateful for, and what you want to accomplish i n this world.”32. What is the finding of the new study?A. Humans are social-emotional beings.B. Social media platforms are overused by the young.C. Social media strengthens interpersonal relationship.D. Heavy use of Social media can lead to loneliness.33. How did the team conduct their research?A. By asking questions.B. By experimenting.C. By distributing forms.D. By media reporting.34. Who might have a strong feeling of social isolation?A. Those who use a single social media platforms.B. Those who spend three hours a day on social media.C. Those who don’t spend time on social media.D. Those spending a half-hour per day on social media.35. What does Kersting suggest people do to avoid feelings of social isolation?A. Never compare with others.B. Make more fiends on the internet.C. Choose a travel destination.D. Set up a clear goal for the future.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
