Practice English in Different WaysBRecently, the TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? has become one of Chinas most popular TV shows, attracting more than 600 million viewers each week.In this program, five celebrity(名人) fathers traveled to six countryside locations across China, including some villages in Beijing, Yunnan, Shandong, Hunan, Heilongjiang and a desert in Ningxia. They took care of their kids without the help of the kids mothers. At the same time, they also took part in different kinds of activities with their kids together, such as cooking, fishing and selling goods.Why is the show so popular? “It reflects (反应) social reality. In big cities, fathers are always busy earning money and making achievements in their career. They dont spare more time with their kids.” said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. As the father of a 3-year-old daughter, Xie said that he found his own heart being touched as he made it. “Although these fathers are busy, they are able to spare time for their kids. We can do better than them.”This also happens in some rural areas in China. More and more men from rural areas are now working in big cities, leaving their kids at home under the Grandparents care. “I have a son and a daughter in my hometown.” said Xu Canyong, a 33-year-old man working in Shantou, Guangdong Province. “They come to live with me only during summer and winter vacations. I miss them very much. I want to have them live with us in Shantou, but the cost of living here is too high.” said Xu.55. The TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? is popular mainly because _ .A. the five fathers are all famous starsB. there are many beautiful sights in itC. Xie Dikui is a popular director in ChinaD. it reflects the problems about family education56. The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refers to_ .A. the TV show Where Are We Going, Dad?B. the fact that fathers have less time with their kidsC. the trip of five celebrity fathers with their kidsD. the relationship between Xie Dikui and his daughter57. Xu Canyong cant live with his two kids in Shantou because_ .A. he cant afford to live there togetherB. he has no time to look after his kidsC.

From this passage, we may infer _ .A. fathers will raise the kids instead of mothersB. the five celebrity fathers will give up their own jobsC. in some rural areas, more and more kids live with their grandparentsD. Mr Xu often goes back to his hometown during summer and winter vacationsCWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldnt understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and a study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know we re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, dont fight it. Its a natural and healthy emotional response (反应).59. Why didnt the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time. D. The author doesnt give the explanation.60. According to the author, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.61. What might be the best title for the text?A. Power of Tears B. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We Cry D. A New Scientific DiscoveryDIf youre looking for a fairly painless way to lose weight, researchers at Brigham Young University have a new solution for you: Put yourself on a regular sleep schedule. People who keep a regular sleep routine have a lower body fat than those who keep irregular sleep hours, says a newstudy.Led by Bruce Bailey, professor of exercise science, researchers followed 300 female college students aged 19 to 26, who were given activity trackers（跟踪器） to watch their movements and activities, including waking and sleeping times . Researchers also measured their body composition (成分)before and after the one-week study period.What the researchers found:Body fat varied with sleep quantity. Women who slept between 8 and 8.5 hours a night had the lowest body fat. While those who slept less than 7 hours or over 9 hours had higher body fat. High quality sleep was associated with lower body fat while poor sleep was connected with higher body fat.Waking and going to sleep at the same time every day was most strongly linked with lower body fat. The difference in body weight was greater with more variation（变化） in sleep pattern. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 90 minutes a night had higher body fat than those whose sleep patterns varied by 60 minutes or less on average. The study followed up on a body of research conducted over the last few years that ties quality and quantity of sleep to weight loss and better weight control. While researchers dont know exactly how sleep schedules affect body weight and fat, other studies have shown that sleep has an effect on physical activity, appetite（胃口）, and the hormones（荷尔蒙）that control metabolism（新陈代谢）, and the signals that tell us were full. 62. Which of the following about the study led by Bruce Bailey is true?A. The participants included both females and males.B. The participants activities were monitored through trackers.C. The participants body composition were measured only after the study.D. The study was controlled by researchers during a long period time.63. Who may have the lowest body fat according to the study?A. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 90 times a night.B. Women whose sleep patterns varied by 60 times a night.C. Women who sleep no more than 7 hours a night.D. Women who get 8 to 8.5 hours of sleep a night.64. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. Its the first research to study better weight control.B. Many people know exactly how sleep affects body fat.C. Sleep can affect people at least in three ways.D. Sleep can give signals to tell people they are full.65. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Several factors that affects the sleep quality.B. Some ways to help you lose weight efficiently.C. The importance of having a regular sleep routine.D. A study on the relationship between sleep and body weight.七选五With exams to come, you will sure feel stressed.
