The ways to keep healthy Everyone wants to live long, however, that just

depends on your bodys health. Do you know how to keep healthy? Id like to

offer you two ways: 1) Proper Dinners: Generally speaking, one should eat 3

times every day. But some students who get up late will ignore the breakfast,

which will do a very bad effect on their healty.

Anyway, some girls who would

prefer to be thin will avoid eating anything or only little during the meal

time. Both of the two ways are bad habits of dining. We shouldnt feel hungry or

full after dinners. Students are usually very busy with their homework, so

they cannot take time to do exercises or too lazy to do them. This is another

killer to health. We should at least take time to have P.E lessons or do morning

exercises everyday to keep health. All in all, Being in fitness is our goal,

its also the basic of all contributions and success.

I like the sky in the summer night,especially in my hometown,because its very beautiful. In the summer night, the sky is clear and bright, so that we can see many stars twinkling.

Nowadays, working overtime is so common in many companies, especially in

foreign companies, private companies, and joint ventures. As far as I am

concerned, there are two main reasons of working overtime. For one thing, there

is indeed too much work to do.

If it is so, the boss should compensate staffs by

paying them as overtime salary or giving them vacations. For another, some

staffs are not suitable for their positions. In that case, the boss ought to

help them to improve their working efficiency. If they are still not qualified,

boss may change the positions for them, or to the worst, dismiss them. Thats

all what I think about working overtime.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

A good book is the essence of human thought. People need to constantly absorbing nutrition from the book, enrich their minds, enhance their own quality, to adapt to The Times of demand is higher and higher. Therefore, we should according to their own requirements in a wide range of Chinese and foreign classics, select and read them.

Read classics, it is an effective way to improve writing ability. The ancients cloud: "read volumes, such as writing god!" This is the irrefutable truth. Psychological depiction of the characters in the classics, vivid portrayal of the scene, things, and control the power of the word, writers for every reader, is a precious wealth, can enjoy many times. Middle school students age is small, the contact time of literature is so short, with only a dozen years of life experience to have a high level of writing its difficulty cans be imagined. And reading the classics is middle school students to obtain the most direct, the most convenient way of writing skills.

Classics is a microcosm of the society. From which we can from different angles to understand the middle school students are not familiar with the diversification of society. Through reading classics, appreciate classics, we can see that the forms of characters, they already exist in the world, and does not exist in the world, they mean or generosity, or good or ugly, sinister or innocent, beautiful or ugly, or ShaFuJiPin or vicious brutality, or believe in the truth or vulgar depravity, or diligence simple or money, or loyalty patriotism or turn traitor for personal gain, or noble is wise or ridiculous, or... Bigotry, the fickleness of the world, all in the classics.

好书是人类思想的精华。人们需要从书中不断地汲取营养,充实自己的头脑,提高自己的素质,以适应这个要求越来越高的时代。因此，我们应从广泛的中外名著中根据自己的需求，选取并阅读它们。

多读名著，是提高写作能力的有效途径。古人云：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神!”这是颠扑不破的真理。名著中对人物心理的刻画，对景物、事物的生动描写，以及作家们驾驭文字的本领，对每一个读者来说，都是一笔无比宝贵、可多次享用的财富。中学生年纪尚小，接触文学的时间太短，仅凭十几年的人生阅历想要有高超的写作水平其难度可想而知。而阅读名著则是中学生获取写作技巧的最直接、最简便的方式。

名著是社会的缩影。从中我们可以从各种不同的角度来了解这个于中学生来说尚不熟悉的多元化社会。通过阅读名著、鉴赏名著，我们可以看到形态各异的人物，他们既存在于世界中，又不存在于世界中，他们或吝啬或慷慨，或善良或丑恶，或天真美丽或阴险丑陋，或杀富济贫或凶狠残暴，或崇尚真理或庸俗堕落，或勤奋朴素或挥金如土，或精忠报国或卖国求荣，或高尚明智或荒诞不经，或……人间百态、世态炎凉，尽在名著中。

In this modern materialistic world, the majority of people are in hot pursuit of material gains, and money is considered the most valuable thing of all, which, personally speaking, is quite superficial. As far as I am concerned,readingis much more valuable than anything else, for it can benefit us in many ways. The old saying, “to open a book is always beneficial” vividly shows how valuable reading is.

Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that reading is a very important way to gain knowledge. Reading is like travelling, the process of which enables you to experience the colorful world and enlarge your eyes scope. By reading history books, you can understand how a regime prospers or collapses, helping you draw useful lessons and develop more wisdom. By reading books of science, you can keep yourself informed in the field of scientific endeavors, thus appreciating how science creates wonders. In a word, reading can enrich your knowledge and get whatever information you need.

In addition, you can get mental encouragement from reading and improve yourself in all aspects. For instance, the stories of well-known people in books help turn an aimless person into an ambitious one, setting up a short or long-term goal for himself. If the daily troubles make you feel desperate, then you will be mentally stroked and encouraged by reading how famous people such as Beethoven made miracles in the face of insurmountable difficulties. Books are a great source of mental encouragement, giving you motives to move forward.

Finally, reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our joy when we are in high spirits, and lessens our sorrow when we are discouraged. Reading will always bring us enjoyment and satisfaction. Good books also serve as gentle companions or faithful friends that will never betray us. While reading, we don’t feel lonely. Books are ready to give us whatever we need such as knowledge, friendship and encouragement.

To sum up, reading is undoubtedly beneficial to you. To open a book is like opening a door, through which you will enter a museum, where all man-made wonders and unique wisdoms are available for you to appreciate; to open a book is like opening a window, through which you can enjoy fresh air、blue sky and wonderful natural landscapes , making you feel refreshed

在这个现代唯物主义的世界,大多数人在炎热的追求物质财富,和金钱被认为是最有价值的东西的,就个人来说,是相当肤浅的。就我而言,读书比任何其他更有价值,因为它可以我们在很多方面获益。俗话说,“打开一本书总是有益”生动地展示了如何有价值的阅读。

首先,它超越怀疑阅读是一个非常重要的方式来获得知识。阅读是喜欢旅行的过程,使您体验到丰富多彩的世界,扩大你的眼睛。通过阅读历史书,你可以了解一个政权繁荣或崩溃,帮助你得出有用的经验和开发更多的智慧。通过科学的读书,可以让自己了解领域的科学努力,因此升值如何科学创造奇迹。总之,阅读可以丰富你的知识和得到任何你需要的信息。

此外,你可以得到精神的鼓励阅读和提高自己在各方面。例如,著名的人的故事书帮助把一个漫无目的的人变成一个雄心勃勃的人,为自己建立一个短期或长期目标。如果日常烦恼让你感到绝望,那么你将会精神上抚摸,鼓励通过阅读名人如贝多芬如何制造奇迹的不可逾越的困难。书是一个伟大的精神鼓励,给你动机前进。

最后,读好书是生活中最大的乐趣之一。它增加我们的快乐当我们情绪高涨,和减少我们的悲伤当我们气馁。阅读总是给我们带来快乐和满足。好书也作为温和的同伴或忠实的朋友,永远不会背叛我们。在阅读时,我们不感到孤独。书是准备给我们任何我们需要如知识、友谊和鼓励。

总之,阅读无疑是有益的。打开一本书就像打开一扇门,通过它你将进入博物馆,所有人造奇迹和独特的智慧可供你欣赏,打开一本书就像打开一个窗口,通过它你可以享受新鲜的空气,蓝色的天空和奇妙的自然景观,使你感到舒畅

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

The worlds environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss. If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog(烟雾)to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐)of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.

After all, the worlds population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 , the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.

But they dont. The reasons why they dont, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why todays environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.

Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the materials, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.
