     In winter, when the sun hides behind the clouds,everyone feels a bit low. You may be tired and find
you want to sleep all the time. What you may not know is:you are suffering from (患有) SAD (季节性抑郁症).
     But don"t worry-it"s normal. Colder temperatures and fewer hours of daylight can steal your energy and
put you in a bad mood.
     Read on to find out what SAD is and what you can do to help yourself or those around you.
     These days, Linda,a US teenager spends most of her holidays sleeping instead of doing sports outside.
She has also had trouble concentrating (集中精力) on her homework. When her mother asks her what"s
wrong,Linda doesn"t know what to tell her. Linda may not realize it yet, but she"s suffering from SAD. It
causes people to sleep,eat sweet food and get sad or angry for no reason.
     About 15 percent of American people now suffer from SAD in winter according to the US Department
of Health. The US government has taken measures to help people beat it. Local communities encourage
people to take part in activities such as exercise,dance or art. And they advise people not to eat too much
sweet food.
     Like in the US, cold northern European countries such as Finland, Iceland and Russia see a large number
of people suffer from SAD every year. So, the sunlamp is widely used in these countries. It"s an electric lamp
which is just like a "little sun" that gives off light to make people think the sun is shining and feel better. 1. Colder ________ and less ________ are the main causes of SAD.

                                                           How to Become Fit?
     Healthy eating habit along with regular exercise is the only way to become fit. If you have the correct
number of calories and exercise regularly, you will lose weight, keep fit, and feel great, too.
     During your teenage years, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. If you skip (跳过) meals,
you won"t get enough calories, and then you will feel tired. By the way, calorie is just another word for energy.
About 50% of your calories should come from rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. You also need to drink a lot of
water, 6 to 8 glasses a day. Water helps keep your system clean. Drinking enough water will make your skin
better and make you healthy.
     Exercise is something that can help to make you look good, feel good and be healthy. Experts suggest that
teenagers spend at least 30 minutes exercising, five times a week. That is easy to do! You can walk or ride
your bike to school, and do sports at school. However, teenagers often give up sports, saying they have no
time left after their studies. In fact, doing exercise can help them sleep better at night and increase their ability
to focus on their study.
    If you follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much better and become fit.

     Fashion isn"t very environmentally-friendly because it makes people buy things they don"t need, just
because they"re new. We want to take care of the environment, we don"t want to pollute the air and we
don"t want to waste energy and resources. But we also want to be fashiona-ble. How can we buy fashionable
clothes and protect the environment?
     Old styles are fashionable again, so one way is to buy second-hand clothes - recycled clothes. Another
way is to buy fair trade clothes. These clothes are either recycled or made in a way that protects the
environment. They also protect the people who make the clothes.
     Surprisingly, white cotton is one of the least environmentally-friendly crops of all. To protect the cotton,
the growers use chemicals that pollute water, make farm workers ill and kill wildlife. New materials, such as
hemp and bamboo, grow quickly and are more environmentally-friendly. These materials are very soft, and
look fantastic. The best materials are coloured using natural dyes, made from plants.
     Environmentally-friendly clothes are practical but until now they were often dull. Now fashion-designers
are working with these materials and the clothes are beautiful as well. So now we can buy fashionable clothes
that are also environmentally-friendly.
1. Why do people often buy things they don"t need? Because ________.
A. new things can be more comfortable
B. everyone wants to be fashionable
C. people are richer than before now
D. people care about the environment
2. What"s the topic for paragraph 2?
A. Recycled fashion.
B. The problem with fashion.
C. Fashion doesn"t have to pollute.
D. New materials.
3. Which of the following is more environmentally-friendly?
A. Materials soft and looking fantastic.
B. Any materials coloured using natural dyes.
C. Hemp and bamboo.
D. White cotton.
4. Why are environmentally-friendly clothes more fashionable now? Because ________.
A. people pay more attention to our environment
B. environmentally-friendly clothes are practical
C. all old styles become fashionable again
D. fashion-designers are working to make them beautiful
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Cotton or Hemp and Bamboo?
B. Environmentally-friendly Clothes
C. Old Style, New Fashion Again
D. Fashion and the Environment

     It"s 2009. You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks 
what you"ve been thinking about lately. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of 
thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily.  She says that the way you think is causing some of
 your illness.
     Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way 
that they do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every 
part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统).  Now scientists have proved that how you think
and feel can havean influence on the health of your body.
      Stress (压力 ,紧张)  is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody
 has stress more or less; nobody"s life is perfect.  In fact, stress is necessary.  Without stress, wa would never 
leam anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored"to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It
can weaken your body"s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can evenmake you more
likely to have an accident.
      When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce achemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素).  Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat.  Today you have a different kind of stress. 
Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can"t fight or run away
from, so you don"t use up all that adrenaline.  It just stays bottled up inside you, and that"s what can do
 something bad to you.
     What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren"t under so 
much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work 
things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can"t change a stressful situation.  Sometimes
 you don"t even want to.  A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.
       The link (关联) between your body and brain works in two ways.  Your body can help your mind deal 
with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body.  It"s important to get
enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that
you can do is daily exercise.  If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your 
body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn"t used to much physical 
activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before 
starting any exercise programs.
1. A psychologist is a person who may help you with your ________.    
A. illness and abilities                      
B. thoughts and behaviour
C. mind and nervous system            
D. physical activity and daily exercise
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. You shouldn"t go to the gym if you are under stress.
B. One can do his homework to bum up adrenaline.
C. Diseases and accidents are caused by stress.
D. Everyone needs stress to improve himself.
3. From the last sentence of Paragraph 5 we can infer that ________.    
A. it"s difficult to change a stressful situation
B. it"s not stressful when a good change takes place
C. a big change will cause another stressful situation
D. a stressful situation can"t be changed without any effort
4. What is probably the best title for this passage? 
A. The Body-Brain Link                    
B. The Causes of Stress
C. The Advice on Health                    
D. The Nervous System

     One cool April 22 mornig, people started the day as usual. Yet it was not a normal day. What"s so special
about April 22? The answer is simple. It is Earth Day People all over the world celebrate this important day. 
The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s. Life was very different then. Few 
people talked or even thought ahout the environment. Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water 
were.
      On April 22, 1970, twenty million (百万) Americans joined the first Earth Day activities. They showed 
that people really did want to do something about the environment.  Since then laws have been passed to 
protect the air, water, land, and animals.
      The vehicles such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don"t cause too much
 pollution.  Thanks to this law, cars today release (排放) about half as many bad chemicals as cars did back 
in 1970. As a result, the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was.
      Rivers and lakes are also cleaner today than they were in the 1970s. It"s a good thing because they needed
 a lot of help.  The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil on the river even caught fire! 
Today, the river is cleaner. It no longer burns. It"s healthy enough for birds, fish, and other animals.
     Now the celebration has spread to other countries. More than 175 countries take part each year.
     In 2007, people in China paid much attention to a big problem.  People were throwing away 27 million 
plastic bags a day ! People had "Bye-Bye Throwaway CultureWeek." They wanted everyone to see how 
polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags.  In 2008, China passed new laws against them.
      Every April 22, millions get together to clean and protect Earth. They also celebrate how far we have 
come.  Our job is to put this knowledge to work.  You can help keep our planet healthy too!
