21、 In this age of Internet chat, video games and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest，a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her，“Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地）told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade，I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用）my daughter’s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.
【1】What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.
B.Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities today.
C.Rebecca benefits a lot from the online materials for her writing.
D.Many senseless activities compete for children’s time nowadays.
【2】Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?
A.She simply intended to share her story with readers.
B.She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
C.She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.
D.She had won a prize in the previous contest.
【3】From the underlined part in Paragraph 4, we can infer that the writer ______________.
A.had unconsciously done too much while correcting her daughter’s story
B.had already offered practical suggestions for her daughter’s story
C.had nearly replaced her daughter to take part in the contest
D.had successfully turned her daughter into a young writer
【4】What message is conveyed in the passage?
A.Parents should keep an eye on the activities their children engage in.
B.Children should be allowed more freedom to grow through experience.
C.Children should be given proper guidance to become more excellent.
D.Parents should spare no effort to make their children successful writers.

23、While many people aren’t getting enough calcium (钙), new research cautions that some people may have the opposite problem: they could be getting too much. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on calcium supplements in hopes of delaying osteoporosis, a kind of bone disease that disables many elderly women and some men. Yet recent studies link calcium supplements to a higher risk of heart attacks. Last month, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued a draft recommendation against taking calcium and vitamin D，saying there wasn’t enough evidence of benefit to justify the risk.
For generations of Americans who grew up encouraged to drink milk to maintain strong bones, the reports raised troubling questions: Is calcium not so important after all? Are the supplements unsafe? And how much is too much? “It’s gotten very confusing but it doesn’t need to be,” says Ethel Siris, director of the Toni Stabile Osteoporosis Center in New York. How much calcium people need varies by age and gender. “Adults generally need 1,000 mg daily, rising to 1,200 mg for women over 50 and men over 70, according to guidelines issued in 2010. Children need 1,300 mg daily during the peak growing years of 9 to 18.”
People also need sufficient levels of vitamin D to absorb the calcium. The IOM recommends 600 international units a day for most adults, and 800 daily after age 70，although many physicians recommend more. It is difficult to take in that much vitamin D from food sources, so experts say many people should take vitamin D in supplement form.
Getting adequate calcium from food is easier. For example, 8 ounces of milk or 6 ounces of yogurt has 300 mg of calcium, and one cup of spinach has 270 mg.
But studies linking calcium supplements to heart attack have made experts more cautious of excess calcium than before. A study of 24,000 Germans published in the journal Heart last month, found that those who got their calcium exclusively from supplements were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who took no supplements.
Exactly how calcium supplements might contribute to heart attacks baffles experts. “Nobody has associated the calcium in your bloodstream with calcification(钙化)in your arteries(动脉),” says Nieca Goldberg, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center. Still, she says she now urges patients get their recommended calcium from food rather than from supplements to avoid possible problems.
Osteoporosis experts also urge patients not to take more than the recommended amount of calcium. “People should definitely stop taking two big calcium supplements a day,” says Dr. Dawson-Hughes. Even if the risks remain unclear, taking more than the body can absorb doesn’t benefit bones,” so it’s not worth any risk.” She adds.
【1】According to the new studies, what might be the result of taking much calcium?
A．Delaying aging.
B．Building muscles.
C．Causing heart problems.
D．Curing bone diseases.
【2】What is Ethel Siris’ opinion on taking calcium supplements?
A．Taking calcium supplements is unsafe.
B．Adults need more calcium than children.
C．It is much safer to take calcium from food.
D．Age and gender determine the amount of calcium taken.
【3】What does the underlined word “baffle” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．Interest.
B．Puzzle.
C．Amaze.
D．Frighten.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．It is helpful to take two calcium supplements a day.
B．It is important to maintain strong bones for women.
C．It is unnecessary to take too much calcium supplement.
D．It is best to take calcium and vitamin D from supplement.
24、Eating a diet high in processed (加工的) food increases the risk of depression (沮丧抑郁), research suggests. What's more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.
Data on diet among 3, 500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They split the participants (参与者) into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high fat dairy products. After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.
Those who ate the most whole food had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least whole food. By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed food.
Study author Dr Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.
“There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood (可能性) of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.”
Dr Andrew Mcculloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, "this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.”
He added people’s diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated (含饱合脂肪酸的) fats and sugars.
【1】The text is mainly about ________.
A．the increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population
B．the link between processed food and depression
C．the relationship between physical and mental heal
D．a healthy diet largely based on whole food
【2】What do we know about the participants?
A．They are of different ages from young to old.
B．They have been eating a less healthy diet these years.
C．Most of them prefer whole food to processed food.
D．Those who ate whole food generally were happier in the long term.
【3】What can we learn from what Dr Archana SinghManoux said?
A．It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.
B．The Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world.
C．Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.
D．The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.
【4】Dr Andrew McCulloch agrees that ________.
A．our diets are closely related to our mental health
B．the present study needs more facts and other information
C．the UK population will become ill in the near future
D．more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in
【5】Why might the author have written this text?
A．To tell people what a healthy diet actually is.
B．To prove people's diets are increasingly unhealthy.
C．To encourage people to cut down processed food.
D．To introduce some experts on the research team.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My ex-husband had made some very bad choices in his life, and I did not want my children to pay for them all their lives, so the boys and I talked and we decided to move. We moved 2,700 miles from home. We had a small car that pulled a small U-haul over the Rocky Mountains. I could barely read a map (my 8-year-old reads them great, I learned).
We arrived in our new town three days later, and found an apartment. I started the boys in their new school and went to our new home to unload the U-haul. I had brought all the clothes, dishes, blankets and toys that I could fit in the U-haul. As I began unloading, a lady whom I had briefly met the day before was driving down the road and she stopped to help me unload and carry everything up the three flights of stairs. After getting moved in, I was blessed two days later when I found a job.
Things were going great. The boys went to the Boys & Girls Club after school, and I would pick them up after work. In December, two months after moving, the manager of the Boys & Girls Club called me and said that there was a group of people who wanted to choose a family for Christmas and would I mind if they chose our family. My first thought was no, because we had all the love we needed for the holidays, but then he said that my children had told him that there was no furniture in the house, and this group had a lot of used furniture, and that the boys and I would be making them very happy. So I agreed.
They called me and asked what the boys wanted for Christmas and I told them that anything would be appreciated, and I told them what their favorite toys were.
