Five years ago, when he was nineteen, he finished middle school. He didn't like any subjects except playing when he was at school.

He heard the publishing house pays the writers a lot. He became interested in it. As soon as he got home, he began to write. But he couldn't write anything. At last he bought a book and copied a story. Then he posted it to the publishing house. He waited for nearly half a year, but didn't get any answers.

Many theories have been put forward to explain the popularity of jogging. The truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to achieve physical fitness.The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory （循环）systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noticing that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.The only equipment that is needed is a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in tennis or gym shoes. A good running shoe will give the knee and ankle（脚踝）more stability（稳定性）. Wearing good shoes will prevent the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on different surfaces.No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you want, even in your street clothes. Many joggers wear expensive, flashy warm–up suits, but many people just wear a simple T-shirt or jog in last year’s clothes. In cold weather, several layers（层) of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or take off layers as conditions change.It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve–week program designed to move from a fifteen–minute walk (which almost anyone in reasonable health can manage) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes.5. The main purpose of this passage is to .A. discuss jogging as a physical fitnessB. describe the type of clothing needed for joggingC. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of joggingD. make some shoes better for jogging6. Which of the following is the only special equipment that joggers need?A. Good shoes.B. Street clothes.C. Expensive suits.D. Warm-up trousers.7. The most useful kind of exercise is exercise that .A. trains the body for weight liftingB. enables a person to run ahead with great powerC. is both beneficial and inexpensiveD. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems8. We can conclude from this passage that .A. because of jogging, heart disease is no longer an American problemB. jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly preparedC. warm–up suits are better than T-shirts for joggingD. jogging is bad for your heart and lungs四.词汇运用：1.Many new __________(工厂) have been set up recently.2. She’s ____________ (意识到) she is wrong at this matter, so she feels very sorry.3. Protecting the __________(环境) is our duty.4. Why not take a ___________(直达) flight to Sydney? It is much faster.5. We watched a ____________ (极好的) play yesterday evening and enjoyed ourselves.6.He has gone to Shanghai on _______(busy).7.English is such a useful language that we have to use it in our daily _______ (communicate).8.The poor boy’s parents have been _______ (die) for years.9.Our best friend Jane has been very busy_______ (recent).10. __________(be) pollution a serious problem three years ago?五.完成句子：1.公园是辛苦工作一天后放松的好地方。

He wanted to know how it happened.Danny learned about a few reasons for food poisoning.The first reason is bacteria(细菌) in the food. Bacteria live in a lot of food and they live in meat, eggs and seafood most often. If you cook the food in a right way, you can kill the bacteria in it.Another way to get food poisoning is from parasites(寄生虫). They often live in meat, but could live on vegetables, too. If you don't cook the food in a right way, these parasites may start living in your body!The third way that you can get food pois~ning is by eating the food with toxins (毒素) in it. Sometimes the food gets toxins naturally, and sometimes the toxins come from insect spray(喷雾杀虫剂). So you must wash the food carefully before you eat or cook it.The last way that people get food poisoning is from allergens( 过敏原). Some people are just allergic to some food, and they may feel very uncomfortable after eating it.Danny decided he would choose food carefully and cook it in a right way before he ate it in the future. That was important. He never wanted to feel this way again.( )38. What happened to Danny last night?A. He ate some bad food at a restaurant.B. He was late for a family party.C.

By cooking the food in a right way.D. By taking some medicine after meals. ( )40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Parasites live on vegetables most often.B.

Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't let dirty smoke go into the air.We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there arefewer people driving, there will be less pollution.Rules are not enough.
