On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in
your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you
can do to feel good and have fun when you"re hot?
Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or
even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read
stories or paint in front of a fan. You don"t need to move your body very much. These are just some of the
cool things to do on a hot day.
In addition, it"s important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water
in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don"t wait for thirst before you start to
drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your
water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.
The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and
drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot
weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day---one that doesn"t need any cooking. | 1. Is it easy to know what to do to feel good on a hot day?

3 farm.

believe that they are good enough for you to have a try. How? Packaging (包装) is the quiet but persuading
(有说服力的) salesman.
There on the shelves, each bottle, can and box has been carefully designed to speak to the inner self of
the consumer (消费者), so that he is buying not only a product (产品) but also his belief in life. Scientists
have studied on this and found that the look of the package has a great influence (影响) on the "quality" of
the product and on how well it sells, became "Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its
package. Many products are packages and many packages are products," as Louis Cheskin, the first social
scientist studying consumers" feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw
human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years,the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots
on the thin bottle makes you feel that it"s very good for your body. And the word "green" today can keep
food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction．Circles often mean happiness, because they are pleasing to both the eye
and the heart. That"s why the round yellow M sings of McDonald"s are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds (提醒) producers and
sellers that people buy to meet the needs of both body and heart. | | 1. According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product. | A. the pleasing color of the package
B. the special taste of the product
C. the strange shape of the package
D. the belief in the product | | 2. It can be inferred (推测) from the passage that V8 is a kind of ______. | A. vegetable dish
B. healthy juice
C. hard drink
D. red vegetable | 3. And the word "green" today can keep food prices going up
This sentence suggests that consumers today are ______. | A. starting to notice the importance of new food
B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
C. beginning to like green vegetables
D. paying more attention to their health | | 4. What"s the best title of the passage? | A. Colors and Shapes
B. Packaging Can Talk
C. The response to the packages
D. Colors and Shapes Can Draw People Attention | | 阅读理解。 | Liz Murray was only three years old when she realized her parents were hooked (吸毒成瘾的) on drugs.
In 1996, just before Christmas, Liz"s mother died and her father moved to a homeless shelter (收容所). Her
mother"s death inspired Liz to change her life. She decided go to high school, even though she was still
homeless.
At the age of 15, Liz was beginning high school at a time most teenagers were graduating, but she
promised herself to become a "straight-A student". As she neared the end of her high school education,
and with her straight-A grades, Murray graduated in only two years. She was awarded (被授予) a New
York Times scholarship (奖学金) - $12,000 every year for four years for needy students and was accepted
into Harvard (哈佛) University in the fall in 2000.
With the scholarship money coming her way, Liz started her studies. While she was there, she began
public speaking-helping people who, like herself, had an almost impossible mountain to climb to succeed in
life.
She left Harvard in 2001 to care for her sick father and to start motivational (励志的) speaking, she
resumed (重新开始) her education at Columbia University to be closer to him. In late 2006, her father died
of AIDS. And then she returned to Harvard in 2006 and graduated in June 2009.
Liz says she took some comfort in knowing that her father had died a sober (清醒的) man. "When
someone gets sober, it"s almost like meeting them for the first time. Just before he passed away, he wrote
me this card. He wrote in the card, "Liz, I left my dreams behind a long time ago. But I know now they"re
safe with you. Now we"re a family again." | 1. Did Liz"s parents take drugs?

Connie, is also Italian, but she was born in the United States. Mario and Connie are big soccer (football) fans.
But when Mario came to the United States eight years ago, he didn"t know that soccer was a popular sport
here. The only American sports that he heard a lot about were basketball, baseball and football. He was amazed
to learn that there were many soccer teams in the USA.
One Sunday afternoon, he was taking a walk and discovered two teams playing soccer in a park. He
watched the game. Both teams had excellent players, and the game was exciting. When it was over, he talked
to some of the players. They were from Italy, Spain, and Latin America. One of the teams needed another
player, and they asked Mario to join them. He was happy to do so. Seven years later he"s still playing in the
team, and he"s one of their best players.
His son Sal is also learning how to play soccer, and he goes to all of his dad"s games. Mario practises
with him and shows him how to kick (踢) and pass the ball. He"s only six years old, but he"s fast and can
kick and pass well. His ability to play soccer is amazing (surprising). "Like father, like son," their friends said.

Last week Mario, Connie and their two kids drove all the way from Chicago to New Jersey to visit
Connie"s cousins. She hadn"t seen her cousins for five years, but the biggest reason for the trip was that her
youngest cousin was getting married. She didn"t want to miss the big wedding (婚礼) and the family reunion.
Her cousins are also crazy about soccer. One night her cousin Lou was playing. It was the game of the season,
and the whole family went to the game. Mario and Connie cheered when Lou"s team played well. The score
was 2 to 2 at half time. It was exciting. No one scored in the third quarter, and then with only 60 seconds left,
Lou scored, and his team won 3 to 2. After the game they went to have pizza and celebrate. | | 1. When did Mario start to play football for an American team? | A. When he was a little boy.
