阅读理解     Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite
is true for men, whose longterm health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
     Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their
dietary habits to suit their other half.
     It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to
make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.
     Women still have the strongest longterm influence over the couple"s diet and lifestyle, as they still have
the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
     The report, by Newcastle University"s Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a
variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and
lifestyle habits of couples.
     The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of
foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
    Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain
weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.
    Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening
was particularly important to many.
    Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, "The research has shown that your
partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this
factor into consideration."

A. have few changes of their dietary habits

2. The underlined word "light"(in Paragraph 3 ) probably means ________.

3. According to the report by Newcastle University"s Human Nutrition Research Centre, ________.
A. women put on weight only because they want to suit their other half
B. when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habits
C. eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couples
D. it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner

4. From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. women should pay more attention to their partner"s influence on them
B. more men will play roles of shopper and cook in most households
C. couples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please their partner

信息匹配。
阅读下列应用文相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
以下是一些生活感想或经验介绍：
A. More than nine years ago I was 70 pounds overweight and wore a very big dress. I had tried different diets and lost weight only to gain it back. Finally a simple "threeforone"fat rule worked for me: consuming
no more than three grams of fat for every 100 calories per serving. Following the rule and eating only
foods that contain less than 30 percent fat, I spent eight months getting down to a size seven, and I"ve
kept the weight off for nine years.
B. And for foods that aren"t packaged, you rely on what we already know about them. Red meat,as well
as dishes made or served with butter, gravy, cream, sauce or cheese, are almost never less than 30 percent fat, so you just don"t eat them. On the other hand, some nonpacked foods-all fruits and vegetables except avocadoes and olives-always pass the test. So do most fish, but not when fried.
C. I like vegetables, which are rich in vitamins. Most foods containing vitamins C and E (such as sweet
potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli) are low in calories and are known as antioxidants(抗氧化物质). They can help reduce the possibility to develop hardening the arteries(动脉).
D. I gain weight around the belly-what we call abdominal obesity, the worst kind. The tendency seems to
be hereditary (遗传的), and it"s common among men. This problem increases the risk of a stroke or heart attack. A guide I use in estimating belly fat is the waisttohip ratio or WHR. To find yours, divide the
circumference (圆周) of your waist by the circumference of you hips. Women with ratios above 0.8 and
men with ratios above 1.0 are at increased health risk.
E. My ways of keeping healthy are very simple, and they are among our everyday activities: eating healthy
food and doing exercise. In addition, I manage to do those basic things, such as drinking water, sleeping
well and eating less fat. Sometimes I do some of the other things I used to do in my life like walking for
half an hour a day.
F.Although I"ve put on ten pounds, I"m healthy and in good shape. I eat food that"s good for me…but I
work off Susan"s homemade brownies (巧克力蛋糕), for example, to offset these extra calories, I walk
for an hour or more, three times a week…often with Susan. We"re both busy and this is one way we have some quiet time together. Equally important, it permits me to practice dieting"s fine art of compromise.
以下是五位专家的建议.请匹配这些建议及对应的生活感想或经验介绍(A、B、C、D、E和F).
1. You should watch where your weight accumulates. You can use the waist to hip ratio to find if there is
   too much fat around the middle. Belly fat is especially dangerous because it releases free fatty acids
    directly to the liver, virtually flooding it with fat.
2. If a particular food is important to you, eat it, but work it off. You should try to learn the art of
    compromise.
3. At the same time. the threeforone is relatively simple to use. Fat grams and calories are listed on
   almost all boxed, canned or packaged foods. You have only to read the label and follow the rule.
    A fiveyearold patient of mine can do this.
4. Drinking water is basic, and drinking enough of it is necessary. Patients are sometimes surprised that
   basic things work when they do them consistently.
5. Consume antioxidant foods. They protect the cholesterol(胆固醇) from oxidative damage,which
    helps prevent damage to blood vessel walls.

阅读理解     Ask savvy investors(投资者) how they learned their first lessons about money, and they"ll probably
tell you lessons their parents taught them.
     The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching
your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here"s what you can
do:
     Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the bank
adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little from
every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set up a
matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves.
     Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how
businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the
businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available
at your library)to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that
caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly
investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock
market while saving for their college education.
     Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who
are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you"d
have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager!
      Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment
of their budget(预算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will
be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults.

1. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Why to Teach Your Children to Save
B. How to Teach Your Children to Save
C. Tips for Saving for Children
D. Start Good Saving Habits Early

2. A matching program means ________.
A. that you should set a good example to your children
B. that you should provide enough money for children so that they can save some
C. that you encourage your children to compete with each other in saving
D. that you encourage your children by giving some extra money for them to save

3. According to the author, you should teach your children about investment when he/she is ________.
A. in the kindergarten
B. in primary school
C. in middle school
D. in college

4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund?
A. It is usually with high benefits.
B. It accepts regular monthly investments.
C. It accepts small investments as low as $50 a month.
D. It caters to children who can afford small investments.

5. The advantage of letting your kids manage their budget lies in ________.
A. that they will make great businessmen in the future
B. that they will know the difficulty of managing a budget
C. that they will avoid making bigger mistakes in the future
D. that they will share happiness of managing their own budget

large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area

to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks
for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
     But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not.
