三、3.Reading Comprehension
Part III Reading Comprehension
0.Section A (30 points, 2 points each)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability.There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
There was once a young man who suffered from cancer. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. He never went outside: but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in.
She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"
He said. "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."
He picked one out and gave her money for it.
"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile.
He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.
He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn"t looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out.
One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, "Hello?"
It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, "You don"t know? He passed away yesterday..."
Later in the day, the mother went into the boy"s room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.
She was face to face with piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do U wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...
Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do U wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
Why did the boy go to the CD store everyday and buy a CD?
A.He loved the girl.
B.He loved music.
C.He loved collecting CDs.
D.He was sick of staying home and wanted to go out.
1.

C.She felt sorry for the boy.
D.She liked the boy..
2.

D.A total stranger.
3.

A.The boy was too shy to ask the girl out.
B.The boy loved music so much.
C.There was love at first sight.
D.Both the boy and the girl missed their love.
4.Common sense would tell us that physically active children may be more likely to become active and healthy adults.In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week.That is what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association recommend (推薦). They say high schools should provide about four hours of physical activity each week. Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs. Criticism of the cuts has led in some places to efforts to give students more time for exercise, not less.
The future health of Americans may depend on it. Just this week, a study reported that life expectancy (預(yù)期壽命) has fallen or is no longer increasing in some parts of the United States. The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women. Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity (肥胖), smoking and high blood pressure. They also blame differences in health services around the country.
In 2006, a study found that only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades. This was true of eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools. The study also found that 22 percent of all schools did not require students to take any P. E. (體育課).
Charlene Burgeson is the executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. She says one problem for P. E. teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects. Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school. Yet many parents today still have bad memories of being chosen last for teams because teachers favored the good athletes in class.
But experts say P. E. classes have changed. They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way tp build a lifetime of activity. These days, teachers often lead activities like weight training and yoga. Some parents like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P.E class. Yet others surely dislike that idea. In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.
Why are schools recommended to give students certain time for sports?
A.Because different schools set up different physical education programs.
B.Because the physical activity of children will influence their health in adulthood.
C.Because nowadays children spend too much time on their studies.
D.Because only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education.
5.
All the following factors may have caused fallen life expectancy in some parts of the United States EXCEPT that______.
A.more and more people are getting fat

6.
Today the goal of P. E. classes is to______.
A.help all the students exercise
B.create competition among students
C.produce good athletes
D.a(chǎn)void competitive sports
7.
We can infer from the passage that______.
A.parents all agree with the idea of avoiding competitive sports
B.parents enjoyed their P. E. classes when they were students
C.a(chǎn) lot of attention is paid to students" academic subjects
D.a(chǎn) lot of schools don"t have enough P. E. teachers

Vitamins are important to our health. Different vitamins are found in different foods -grains, vegetables and fruits, fish and meat, eggs and milk products. So which foods should be eaten to get enough of the vitamins our bodies need? Let us look at some important vitamins for the answer.
Vitamin A helps prevent skin and other tissues from becoming dry. People who do not get enough Vitamin A cannot see well in darkness. They may develop a condition that dries the eyes. This can result in infections and lead to blindness. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It is also in the yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into Vitamin A.
Vitamin BI is also called thiamine (硫膠). Thiamine changes starchy foods into energy. It also helps the heart and nervous system work smoothly. Without it, we would be weak and would not grow. We also might develop beriberi (腳氣病). Thiamine is found not just in whole grains like brown rice, but also in other foods. These include beans and peas, nuts, and meat and fish.
Vitamin C is needed for strong bones and teeth, and for healthy blood passages. It also helps wounds heal quickly. The body stores little Vitamin C. So we must get it every day in foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes and uncooked cabbage.
Vitamin D increases levels of the element calcium (鈣) in the blood. Calcium is needed for nerve and muscle cells to work normally. It is also needed to build strong bones. Vitamin D prevents the children"s bone disease rickets (佝僂病). Ultraviolet light from the sun changes a substance in the skin into vitamin D Fish liver oil also contains vitamin D. In some countries, milk producers add vitamin D to milk so children will get enough.
Vitamin K is needed for healthy blood. It thickens the blood around a cut. to stop bleeding. Bacteria in the intestines (腸道) normally produce vitamin K. It can also be found in pork products, liver and in vegetables like cabbage, kale and spinach.
Lack of Vitamin A will lead to______.
A.night blindness
B.heart disease
C.beriberi
D.rickets
