However，they say that the risk may not be caused by the meatrich diet itself，but by a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables.‎ The study looked into 50，000 children from 20 countries. Parents were asked about their children's eating habits and whether they had ever suffered from asthma. The effects of their diet seemed to be different depending on where they lived. Fruit and vegetables are more helpful in less affluent parts of the world，while eating lots of fish was more helpful in richer countries. Eating at least three hamburgers a week was linked to a greater risk of asthma，but only in wealthier countries.‎ Dr.Gabriele Nagel said different things may cause asthma in different parts of the world.“This gives us more understanding of how asthma affects different people，and its effects in developing as well as developed countries，”she said.‎ High levels of unhealthy fat in hamburgers could increase the risk of asthma. However，the researchers said children who ate several hamburgers a week were likely to have other unhealthy lifestyle habits as well.‎ Researchers said the study helped us understand how asthma and diet are connected.“Previous studies have shown that a dietrich in fruit and vegetables can help to reduce a child's risk of developing asthma symptoms，”Dr.Elaine Vickers said.“Our advice to parents is to make sure that children have a healthy diet and also get plenty of exercise.”‎ ‎21．What can we learn about the study from the passage?‎ A．Fat in hamburgers doesn't increase the risk of asthma.‎ B．Children who like hamburgers don't like exercise.‎ C．Eating three hamburgers a month could cause asthma.‎ D．The parents of fifty thousand children were interviewed.‎ ‎22．What did Dr.Elaine Vickers advise parents to do?‎ A．To help children have healthy lifestyle.‎ B．To keep children away from hamburgers.‎ C．To have dinner with children at home.‎ D．To make sure children take exercise as much as possible.‎ ‎23．The passage is mainly about．‎ A．asthma affects people in wealthy places B．hamburgers raise a child's risk of asthma C．parents can influence children's health D．more and more children become fatter B My mother was a therapist(治疗专家). Well, technically she was a hairdresser, but in reality she was a therapist. I grew up in the salon(美发店) -- sitting on the chairs after school, listening to the ladies talk about their problems, watching my mother comb and listen. She gave every one of her clients her attention. When they were in that chair, she was theirs. She listened to stories of cancer, marriages, divorces and everything in between. As a child, I found it strange that these women would talk so openly to my mother about such deeply personal matters. ‎ I remember once listening to one of my mother's clients talking to her about some financial problems she and her husband were having. In the break room later that afternoon, I made some comment about it to my mother. I do not remember what I said but I clearly remember her response: "When people share their lives with you,‎ ‎ it means they trust you. Trust is more important than money."‎ My mother died on February 14th, 1999. It was a simple burial. But there is one image that stands in my mind: the sea of faces at the service. There must have been over a hundred people at the service. Among them was a man, whose wife used to one of my mother’s customers. He came because of the special care my mother gave to his wife when she was dying of cancer. I did not find out until years later that my mother went to the hospital every morning for months to wash her, do her make-up and get her ready to face another day. ‎ My mother was a hairdresser. She had a 4th grade education. In her lifetime, she didn't earn millions of dollars and was not successful by today's standards. But in my mind, she is one of most successful women I know. ‎ ‎24. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means that the author’s mother_____.‎ A. was a very skilled hairdresser. ‎ B. had a lot of customers every day.‎ C. was a good listener of her customers. ‎ D. treated her patients’ with great care ‎25. The customers of the author’s mother____.‎ A. could save much money in the salon. ‎ B. liked to share their life stories with her.‎ C. enjoyed listening to her personal stories. ‎ D. came to the salon because of her patience.‎ ‎26. According to Paragraph 3, the man came to the author’s mother’s burial because_______.‎ A. she cured him of cancer. B. he was one of her customers.‎ C. she used to look after his wife. D. his wife used to be her patient.‎ ‎27. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s mother?‎ A. She preferred a therapist to a hairdresser.‎ B. She treated every one of her customers carefully and heartedly.‎ C. She disliked to share other people’s personal matters.‎ D. She died of cancer and over a hundred people visited her.‎ C Talk about a real-life hero! Ten-year-old Larry Champagne from St．Louis，Missouri, hit the brake（刹车）on a runaway school bus．He saved himself and 20 other kids on board from disaster．‎ It all happened in one terrible accident．On the way to school，the bus driver，Ernestine Blackman，suddenly fell ill．Seeing the car was running away，the other kids started to scream，but Larry ran to the front and stopped the bus．‎ ‎“At first I thought，‘We’re gonna die，’”says Larry，“but after I pressed the brake, I felt safe．”‎ Larry’s speedy reaction made news all over the country．He appeared on TV shows as a hero．The bus company gave Larry a big gift．His school hung a medal of honor around his neck．‎ ‎“My grandmother always tells me to do what’s right，”says Larry．He thanked his brother，Jerrick，9，who “helped me get the bus driver up” during the emergency（紧急情况）．How did he know how to stop the bus? Larry is something of a mechanic（机械师）．He helps his grandfather work on his old truck．“He gets his hands dirty，”says his grandfather．One thing is for certain：Larry knows where to find the brakes．‎ ‎28．What did Larry do to save the runaway bus?‎ A．He parked it for the sleeping bus driver．‎ B．he pressed the brake．‎ C．He dialed 911．‎ D．He helped all the kids climb out through the windows．‎ ‎29．When did Larry finally feel safe?‎ A．Once he pressed the brake，and the bus stopped B．When the police officers arrived．‎ C．When the kids finally stopped screaming．‎ D．When the bus driver started driving again．‎ ‎30．Larry got the following as praise for his hero action Except．‎ A．appearing on TV shows B．a big gift from the bus company ‎ C．a scholarship from his school D．a medal of honor ‎31．Larry thanked his brother Jerrick for ．‎ A．teaching him how to stop the bus B．helping him work on his old truck C．teaching him how to find the brake D．helping him get the bus driver up D I ran into quite a few language problems while vacationing with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement (吃惊), not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers, not trousers as it does back home.‎ ‎ Katie-From America I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn’t find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.‎ ‎ David-From Britain When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to someone that I only wanted the toilet!‎ ‎ Tom-From America Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle (汽车) and there turned out to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.‎ ‎ Mary-From Britain ‎32. Hearing Katie’s mother’s words, Katie’s friends were in surprise because.‎ A.

Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend. 36 But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.‎ ‎1.
