Zach started walking from Valrico, Florida, his hometown, on Christmas, 2009. He reached Los Angeles nine months later in September, 2010. He covered a total of 2，478 miles and raised $120，000 for kids in need. Along the way, Zach attended school online. His mother, brother and sister took turns to walk or drive together with him.Although he is very young, Zach has a long history of helping others. When a terrible storm hit town in 2004, Zach, when six, pulled a wagon(小推车)through his community and collected food for people in need.He has raised $400，000 for his Little Red Wagon Foundation since then. It gives money to projects which help homeless children. In 2007, Zach began walking to support a children's charity in Tampa, Florida. He finished his journey 23 days later, 280 miles away in Tallahassee.

There are no other children inthe family for the child to talk or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents regretted making the decisions to have only one child.But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 % of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to beoverwhelming. They don't have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US＄160,000.( )31.What do people not think about when they choose to have a second child ?A. timeB. energyC. moneyD. food( )32.What does the underlined word "overwhelming" mean in the last paragraphA. 压倒一切的B. 宽松的C. 流行的D. 充足的( )33.

It makes bones and muscles(肌肉)stronger. improves mental health and mood，lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular(心血管的)disease, and all kinds of cancers. Exercise is also good for your brain. It may not be a cure-all for obesity(肥胖)，however.Though better nutrition(营养)together with exercise has long been the good treatment for losing weight and avoiding obesity, a new study suggests diet，in fact，plays the key role.Researchers compare African-American women in Chicago with women in the countries of Nigeria. On average(平均)，the Chicago women weighed 184 pounds and the Nigerian women weighed 127 pounds. Researchers had expected to find that the slimmer Nigerian women would be more physically active. To their surprise, they found no important difference between the two groups in the amount of calories burned during physical activity."Less physical activity may not be the main drive of obesity. " said Richard Cooper, a member of the study team. "People burn more calories when they exercise. The thing is, they make up by eating more. We would love to say that physical activity has a positive effect on weight control, but that does not appear to be the case. "Diet is a more likely explanation than physical activity expenditure(消耗)for why Chicago women weigh more than Nigerian women, Cooper said. She noted the Nigerian diet is low in fat and animal protein(动物蛋白).Lout the Chicago diet is 40 percent to 45 percent in fat.More research seems to be needed，however, as the new finding is different from other studies. A study found that Old Order Amish people who had a gene(基因)related to obesity stayed thin because they exercised a lot.( )34. By saying the underlined words in Paragraph 4，Cooper meant that .A. exercise may not do good to your brainB. less exercise may not lead to obesity at allC. exercise doesn't play a key role in losing weightD. people need to eat more to do enough physical activity( )35. At the mention of Old Order Amish people，the writer wants to prove that .A. obesity is a serious medical problemB. the result of the new study is reasonableC. obesity is mainly related to one's genesD. the result of the new study needs to be tested further ( )36. What can we know about Chicago women and Nigerian women from the passage?A. They don't like doing physical activities.B. They burn almost the same amount of calories during physical activity.C. Chicago women are slimmer than Nigerian women.D. Nigerian women like to do more exercise than Chicago women.( )37. The writer's purpose of writing the passage is to expect us to_.A. control our diet to stay thinB. take more exercise to lose weightC. do more physical activity to avoid diseasesD. find a way that can treat obesity completely四、词汇检测38.
