21、 Shop with Your Doc is part of a broader and still growing movement in US medicine to shift the focus away from simply treating disease toward caring for the whole person. It is meant to help people make educated, healthy choices one grocery cart at a time. Across the country, hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculum. Nonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
For centuries, Western medicine’s mission was to cure disease. But over the past generation, two generation, two significant trends are of concern to the medical community, says Timothy Harlan, executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans. Healthcare costs began to soar(激增), and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common. “There’s a very straightforward link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have,” Dr. Harlan says.
The connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach to health. What emerged was the concept of the “social determinants of health”-the notion of taking into account the biological, physical, and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patient. A healthy person isn’t just someone who is free from disease, the theory goes; he or she also enjoys “a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being.”
The question the medical community now faces is how to get patients-especially low-income families-to recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthier. In Boston, medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry(食品室) at Boston Medical Center. Since its founding in 2002, the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center where primary care providers at BMC send patients for food. Today the pantry, which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank, hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a month. The Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives, striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce markets. The organization also helped develop toolkits(软件包) that map local pantries, markets that accept government food vouchers, and other resources.
At Tulane in New Orleans, Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparation. His philosophy: Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patients. And empowering patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs of health care, Harlan says. The curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United States. Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families, say Dr Maureen Villasenor, the Orange County pediatrician(儿科医生).

22、Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest Fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expense-paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse.
He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.
Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea – too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.
During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr. Gareth Wardell.
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair – people will think I am aging,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger.
Before setting off from Swansea with his 76 – year – old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”
【1】The very reason that Mr. Evans didn’t go to see the world is that _______.
A. he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe
B. he was too busy to go too far away from home
C. he believed “East or west, home is the best”
D. he couldn’t afford both the time and the money
【2】Mr. Evans didn’t like the wheelchair simply because _______.
A. he was not used to traveling in it
B. the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate
C. he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip
D. he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Mr. Evans had to pay for the return ticket.
B. The trip to London excited Mr. Evans very much.
C. Mr. Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young.
D. Humor was one of Mr. Evans’ characters.
【4】The probable explanation to Mr. Evans’ long life lies in _______.
A. his sticking to his hometown
B. his hard working for the family
C. his good living habits
D. his living conditions near the Swansea
23、If we jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground for about half a second. Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air. So how do they do this?
Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect. But athletes also interact with the air as they move. It is this interaction that can produce lift, an upwards force produced by air pushing on an object. If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity, the object can fly. The same interaction also produces drag. It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.
In the ski jump, jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski downhill to generate speed. Just before they reach the end of the slope, they jump. Once jumpers are in the air, the fun physics begins. They use careful body positioning to maximize lift while / minimizing drag. To do this, they adjust their skis and body nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift. As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers, lift decreases and gravity continues to pull on them. They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.
As you tune into the Olympics to wonder at the physical power of the athletes, take a moment to consider also their mastery of the concepts of physics.
【1】What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Staying longer in the air.
B.Traveling forward slower.
C.Falling down the hill faster.
D.Jumping higher than average.
【2】How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to Paragraph 2?
A.They make use of the interaction with air.
B.They get more forces of gravity than lift.
C.They keep a good balance while skiing.
D.They get rid of the effect of gravity.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump?
A.Its training equipment.
B.Its safety guidelines.
C.Its major concepts.
D.Its basic routine.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Ski jumpers flying in the sky
B.Falling or flying is your choice
C.Physics: as difficult as imagined
D.Ski jump booming in the Olympics

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One evening I was resting in a cafe. I wore a pair of newly bought white leather shoes, which were rather expensive. Then a boy came to me.
He was in an unfit shirt, looking pale and about eleven. At sight of my new leather shoes, his big eyes were bright with hope. No sooner had I begun to speak than he opened the box in his hand and took out the tools of shoe-polishing. He quickly bent down, took off my leather shoes, and began to shine them.
He was busy doing his work when heavy rain began to pour down. People rushed to the café for shelter from the rain. More and more people crowded in and gradually separated the boy from me before I realized it. Hours passed, and it turned dark. I had no shoes on my feet and wondered where the boy had been. I thought he would not return my expensive shoes, and I would have to go home on my bare feet.
When it was near midnight the rain ended, and there were fewer and fewer people in the café. The café was to be closed. I had to move slowly to the door, head lowered. Just as I went to the gate, was surprised to find that a boy of about eleven, looking very familiar, was sleeping at the door with his head leaning against a box and his upper body being bare. He was holding a package made of his shirt tightly in his arms.
