To study how this habit influences health, British researchers interviewed the creators of online photo magazines and discovered that daily photography improved their lives in several ways: it made them mindful of the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with people who share their interests.THE 16:8 DIET WORKSIn a small study, researchers at the University of Illinois asked 23 fat participants(参与者) to spend 12 weeks following a type of diet called the 16:8 diet. In the eight hours between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., they could eat as much as they wanted of any food. However, for the remaining 16 hours of the day, they were allowed to have only water and other calorie-free drinks. Compared with control group, the 16:8 dieters took in about 300 fewer calories a day, lost 3 percent of their weight, and saw a great drop in their blood pressure.10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE CAN IMPROVE MEMORYCant find your keys? Go for a quick walk or do a few yoga(瑜伽) poses. In a recent study, 36 healthy young adults who had just exercised for ten minutes showed improved connectivity(连通性) between the parts of the brain for new memories and the parts for detailed memory processing. The participants also improved their performance on a memory test. The researchers now plan studies in older adults to find out whether regular light exercise improves their memory as well.（1）Which may help lower blood pressure according to the passage? A .

Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west. So these children become satellite kids, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a satellite kid.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the satellite kids problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a satellite kid means growing up in such a country, where you know you are different and you cant make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up alone, because your parents are not there.（1）Satellite kids refer to （指代） the Asian kids . A . without parentsB . living abroad aloneC . with university educationD . not speaking English（2）Some Asian immigrant children become satellite kids because their parents .

These people are called vegetarians(素食主义者). To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing. But they wont eat meat for several different reasons.First, vegetarians have a big health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern world is too much food, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical study suggests that animal fats, including butter, quicken the development of cholesterol (胆固醇) in the human body. Too much cholesterol seems to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low level of cholesterol. Too much animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians have less these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are. Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion (宗教). Eating of meat is never allowed in some religions. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about.600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many believers of other religions, such as Buddhism and even some Christian religions that also do not eat meat. Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or other reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.IntroductionVegetariansVegetarians are people who_eat meat_why people become vegetariansA health_Animal fat makes the _of cholesterol faster.Vegetarians are _likely to have cancers or heart disease than meat-eater.ReligionsSome religions dont _believers to eat meat ,such _the Hindu ReligionsDislike of meatMany people dislike the _of meatLove for animalsMany people hate _animals or food .They think its_to destroy life for food六、 书面表达（共 1 小题，满分 20 分） (共1题；共20分)10. （20分）在我们的生活中，总会得到周围人善意的关怀或善意的提醒。同时，我们也会将这份善意（kindness)传递出去。请结合自身的经历，写一篇短文谈谈你对善意的理解。 要求：1）90词左右；开头已给出，不计入总词数；2）文中不得出现真实的人名和校名；3）语句通顺连贯，条理清晰，结构完整，书写工整。We were always told to be kind to people.
