26、   I have just finished reading the lovely book called Daddy Long legs written by Jean Webster. And this book was produced into a great movie in America and it was first shown in 1919.

Judy was a girl who was always positive about life though she was an orphan (孤儿) living in a small village for 18 years. Then one day a man came and decided to send her to the college, which later totally changed Judy's life. He asked Judy to write a letter to him once a month to tell him what she had learned in school. But he would never reply her letter.

The different life between the village and the college made Judy fully realize the beauty of life and she cherished every moment of her life. She never asked too much about life. Her only quarrel with life was that time ran too fast. She caught up with the other classmates so quickly although she had a quite different childhood from them, which at first did cause her a lot of trouble.

The story of Judy was told in the form of letters which were also written by Judy herself. When I was reading the letters, I was touched by Judy's character.

I am wondering whether you have ever read it and I am sure that you will be deeply moved by the unexpected and romantic ending if you are a teenager girl. In a word, the book Daddy Long legs is worth reading and the movie Daddy Long legs is also well worth watching.

【1】From the passage, we can know Judy's childhood was _________.

【2】What did the man ask Judy to write in the letter?

A.Some mistakes she made. B.Something about her teachers.

C.Something about her study. D.Some difficulties she had met.

A.Judy always remembered her life in the past.

C.Judy wanted to live in a much better life.

【4】What moved the reader too much?

A.Judy's character. B.Judy's study. C.Judy's letters. D.Judy's book.

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Learn to walk before you run. B.Time and tide waits for no man.

27、   Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave ￡12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children's playground.

For many years, British people have been suggested eating at least “five-a-day”-that is five kinds of fruits or vegetables every day in order to i【1】 their health and reduce illness and cancer.

However, this has been found to be untrue, according to a new scientific study.

The suggestion was first put forward in 1990 by the World Health Organization. It said that the “five-a-day”diet could p【2】 50% of cancer and other chronic diseases（慢性病）. Since the people in many developed countries have taken the a【3】, such as the UK, where the people eat a lot of unhealthy food.

However, a study of 500, 000 Europeans from 10 different countries proves that the key to a【4】 cancers is to have a healthy lifestyle which includes not smoking or drinking a lot of alcohol, taking exercise and not being too fat. Eating more fruit and vegetables can only reduce 2.5% of cancers.

But doctors have spoken out to remind people that diet is i【5】 in staying healthy, and that even a 2.5% reduction in cancers is sill a great step.

Cancer Research UK said, “It’s still a good idea to eat your ‘five-a-day’, but remember that fruits and vegetables are not enough to keep you away from cancer.”
