26、   I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.

“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“ None.”

“ Where did you go?”

“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“ What did you do?”

“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“ You just stood there?”

“ Didn’t sell a single one.”

“ My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

【1】From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was __________.

27、Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth. It may also help to protect the body against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. And now, researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementia (痴呆).

Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes, which scientists call “cognitive (认知) abilities.” Dementia is difficult to treat. Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding. And the disease is very frightening to sufferers. Chris Roberts suffers from dementia. He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving. “The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car, not just forgetting where I was going— I wouldn’t know where I was.” More than 47 million people around the world suffer from dementia. The World Health Organization reports that 60 percent of them live in low- and middle-income countries.

We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts, lentils (扁豆) and fatty fish. We also get vitamin D from the sun. But that is not dependable. In some parts of the world, there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D. Also, sunblock prevents the vitamin from entering the body. To add to the problem, the skin’s ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.

Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia. The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people. Nutritional sciences professor Joshua Miller led the team. He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects. He said tests showed that about 60 percent of the group was low in vitamin D.

【1】Which of the following is true about vitamin D?

A．Vitamin D can decrease people’s risk of heart diseases.

B．Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.

C．Vitamin D is mainly obtained from the sun.

D．The need for Vitamin D decreases as people age.

【2】What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Boring but rewarding.

B．Disturbing and frightening.

C．Disgusting and stressful.

D．Hard and tiresome.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．How vitamin D affects people’s health.

B．Where people get vitamin D.

C．Whether sunlight can produce vitamin

D．D. Why people’s age influences the production of vitamin D.

【4】Where can we most probably read the passage?

A．In a travel brochure.

B．In a literature magazine.

C．In a science journal.

D．In a commercial advertisement.

28、Jeremy grew up being active in sports. But he never thought about healthy eating until he found himself gaining weight several years after college. Last week, Jeremy hit a turning point when he found that he was too out of shape to play in a company football team. He decided to change his eating habits.

The first step Jeremy took toward healthy eating was to stop going to fast-food restaurants. Jeremy used to eat fast food as often as 4 times a week. To his surprise, he found that giving up fast food wasn't that difficult. Now, he says, "I don't even like it anymore." When Jeremy does go out to eat, he tries to pick menu items that he knows are healthier. He orders salads and lower-fat sandwiches instead of hamburgers, and he drinks water instead of soda pop. "I try to order things that are already prepared the way I would like them to be prepared."

Planning meals has been a key to Jeremy's success. It helps him avoid getting too hungry and eating fast food. Each week he plans what he will eat for each meal, and he shops for groceries（食品杂货）with his plan in mind. "It's a lot easier to make healthy choices when you're just planning ahead for it." Rather than cutting out certain foods, Jeremy sometimes includes his favourite foods in his eating plan. "That way I don't feel like I'm letting myself down by not sticking to my plan.

Jeremy's friends and family noticed when he started eating healthier. They have helped him to make a habit of his healthy eating changes. "It made me feel pretty good, especially when people started making comments about the changes I was making," he says. "You just get the positive energy."

【1】What made Jeremy decide to change his eating habits?

A．It was too easy for him.

B．It made him uncomfortable.

C．It was not as difficult as he thought.

D．It meant stopping going out to eat.

A．Eating less at mealtimes.

B．Making plans ahead of time.

A．Surprised.

D．Interested.

29、   It is surprising that eating three meals a day—breakfast, lunch and dinner—has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, English tradition only included two meals a day—breakfast and dinner.

In the 16th century, breakfast was a snack, with no fixed menu. Its only purpose was to break one’s fast from the night. But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for the family, but for guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 am and lasted until 1pm. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 am and became a family meal.

Dinner, however, became larger later. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 am. Years later, it was moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 pm. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 pm. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap between breakfast and dinner.
