　　A

　　It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (鬧鐘) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run,but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD,Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired,but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

　　Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to j ust say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.

　　So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. T his is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

　　The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness,which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.

　　The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds,it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in distant and isolated Arctic regions explorers have reposed being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的)people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

　　At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long periods of time.After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits，allowed themselves to be doused(浸入)with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty(通風(fēng)的)room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to complete tiredness. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

　　If,then,cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds,why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains--taking research，no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people are more likely to stay together indoors in cold weather than at other ti mes, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

　　No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin,but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

　　29. The fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds shows that _____.

　　A. colds are really full of myths. B. viruses are the factors causing colds.

　　C. colds are more serious than other illnesses.

　　D. the idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.

　　30. The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that _____.

　　A. it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.

　　B. taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.

　　C. being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.

　　D. people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.

　　31. According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because _____.

　　A. staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.

　　B. viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.

　　C. there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.

　　D. People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter

　　32. The passage mainly discusses_____.

　　A. the experiments on colds. B. the myths about colds.

　　C. the reason and the way people catch colds. D. the continued spread of common colds.

　　D

　　People often have the impression that Chinese cha racters are extremely difficult to learn. In fact,if you were to try to learn how to write Chinese characters,you would find that they are not nearly as difficult as you may have imagined. And they certainly qualify as forming one of the most attractive, beautiful, logical(合乎邏輯的),and scientifically constructed(構(gòu)造)writing systems in the world. Each stroke(筆畫)has its own special significance. If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese characters, you will find it very easy to remember even the most complicated looking character, and never miss a stroke.

　　The earliest known examples of Chinese written characters in their developed form are carved into tortoise shells and ox bones. The majority of these characters are pictographs. Archaeologists of various countries have learned that most early writing systems went through a pictographic stage, as did the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Most writing systems, however, eventually developed a phonetic(表示語音的)alphabet to represent the sounds of spoken language rather than visual images observed in the physical world.

　　One notable feature of Chinese characters is the "radical." "Radical" in English means "root". For example, the characters yu "language," shuo "talk," i "discuss," "opinion," and lun "discuss" all share the yen radical, which means "language," and gives the reader a clue to the meaning of the character as a whole. The characters hsiu "rotten," shan "cedar," " t'ao "peach," and lin "forest," all contain the mu "wood" or "tree" radical, indicating one of their shared key characteristics. If you know the radical of a character, you can usually get a general idea of the meaning of the character it is a part of. Although there is a theoretical total of almost 50,000 written Chinese characters, only about 5,000 of these are frequently used; and the total number of radicals is only 214. So learning to read and write Chinese is not nearly so formidable a task as it may at first seem.

　　33. A ccording to the author, Chinese characters are _____.

　　A. extremely difficult to learn B. scientifically constructed

　　C. difficult to remember D. as difficult as you may have imagined

　　34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. There are rules in forming the Chinese characters.

　　B. Some strokes are more important than others.

　　C. All the Chinese characters are pictographs.

　　D. Some writing systems eventually developed a phonetic alphabet.

　　35. The passage is mainly about _____.

　　A. pictographs B. the strokes of the Chinese characters

　　C. the Chinese writing system D. the radical of the Chinese characters
