But she is not alone. Many people have this eating disorder.In the beginning of her story, Kessa is a normal 15-year-old. She is good at many things, especially dancing. She has danced for many years and loves it. One day her dance teacher tells her to continue eating right, but maybe lose a few pounds. Once Kessa hears this, she takes things too far. Instead of cutting down on snacks and junk food, she decides not to eat at all. She does not eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. She begins losing weight and becomes slimmer (更加苗条的) and slimmer. But she loses weight to a point where she is unhealthy.As her poor eating habits continue, her parents start getting as much help as possible to cure (治疗) their beautiful daughter. But it is just as hard for Kessas parents to deal with her disorder as it is for her. Everyday she exercises to lose more pounds and plans what and when she will eat. Her parents try everything, but Kessa decides not to have any fat on her body.Kessas doctor and parents finally take her to the hospital. She is now so thin that she can hardly walk. There, she is given good care.In the rest of the book, Kessa goes through a lot of trouble in order to cure（治愈） her eating disorder. This book, I think, can help to prevent people from doing this to themselves. It shows the trouble that people go through just to be slimmer, and all the terrible things they must experience to be cured. It is a book I think every teenager should read.29. What does Kessa do to lose weight?A. She stops eating.B. She eats less junk food.C. She has three small meals a day.D. She dances many more hours a day.30. What do we know about Kessas eating disorder?A. It is caused by her dance teacher.B. Its too serious to be cured.C. It makes her suffer a lot.D. Its an unusual illness.31. The book mentioned in the text is mainly about _.A. how to cure eating disorders B. the importance of eating rightC. a girls fight against an eating problemD. why so many people have eating disordersD A recent study on parents who beat their children indicated that physical punishment(惩罚) still happens far more frequently than previously（先前地） thought but that physical punishment was ineffective（无效的）.73 percent of the children who were hit waited less than 10 minutes before acting out again. Many parents deal with their childrens mistakes by taking away toys and separating them from their playmates. But for strong-willed kids like I was, none of these methods were effective. Like many kids, I wasnt bad; I was bored. Fortunately, my father realized this fairly early on and developed a new form of “discipline（原则）” that produced immediate results and long-term positive effects. Looking back as an adult, my fathers method of making me read theencyclopedia (百科全书)whenever I did something wrong was the best thing he could have done. He would tell me a topic and say, “Learn about the aardvark（土豚） and Im going to test you shortly after.” It was punishment in the sense that I was forced to stop whatever I was doing, but it also had a purpose in that it kept my mind occupied and presented the type of mental challenge I clearly lacked. Although unwillingly, I went to learn absolutely everything there was to know about aardvarks because I was going to figure out every question he could throw at me. If it werent for my driving need to prove him wrong, it may not have worked as well as it did. So thats just it: It was effective. It helped me change my behavior（行为） in that moment and it conditioned me to seek out books when I was bored. Obviously, that happened frequently and apparently and it worked. I grew up to become a successful lawyer and a famous writer as well. To this day, Dads the only one who can beat me.32. What is the probable main idea of Paragraph 1? A. It reports the result of a recent study about the encyclopedia. B. Physical punishment is useless to deal with children. C. Physical punishment only happened previously. D. 73 percent of the children love physical punishment.33. Why do many kids frequently do what theyre not allowed to do according to the author? A. Because they produce immediate results and long-term positive effects. B. Because they prefer to break the “discipline” set by their parents. C. Because they are always regarded as bad kids both at home. D. Because they often find its dull in their everyday life.34. What was the authors father method of punishing him for his mistakes? A. His father angrily took away his favorite toys. B. His father separated him from his playmates. C. His father forced him to do some reading and tested him later. D. His father ordered him to learn about the aardvark and quizzed him shortly after.35. What can be inferred from this passage? A. Children who are mentally challenged are more likely to be successful. B. Parents ought to develop a new form of discipline to educate their kids. C. Its absolutely necessary to punish strong-willed kids physically. D. The stricter parents are, the few mistakes children will make.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。When you get tense(紧张的) about something that happens in your life, you are experiencing stress.
