Paragraph 1
Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds. (2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.
Paragraph 2                                                                 
People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day.

The German shepherd runs off and noses around in the grass of Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau. “OK, Oakley,” the dog’s handler orders, “Find it!”
Oakley sniffs (嗅) until he comes to a bush, then stops, sits, and looks up at his handler. She bends to see what he has found: the waste of an endangered African wild dog. “Good dog!” she praises. The handler pulls a tennis ball from her pocket. Oakley jumps for his reward.
“He doesn’t actually want the waste,” says Aimee Hurt, a founding member of the U.S.-based group Working Dogs for Conservation. Hurt is in Kenya to train both Oakley and his handler. “He finds it so he can play with his ball. We’re the ones who want the waste.”
Detection dogs are sometimes taught to locate actual animals. Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) have been studied with their help. But more often the dogs learn to locate the waste of creatures such as bears, wolves and mountain lions.
What the dogs find provides scientists with data about a species. Scientists can use the DNA collected from animal waste to identify individuals, sex, and population sizes — all without ever seeing the animal itself. “It can take years to gather this kind of information if you have to trap animals,” Hurt explains.
Waste analysis might make a huge difference when wild species are accused of attacking domestic livestock (家畜). Hurt says, “A good detection dog will find the waste so we can see what the animal is actually eating.” This may help reduce problems between people and wildlife.
The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_____”.

A.the German shepherd
B.an African wild dog
C.Aimee Hurt
D.the handler

Oakley is interested in finding the waste because _____.

A.he wants to study endangered animals
B.he can get a tennis ball to play with
C.he wants to eat it
D.he wants to play with it

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Trapping animals is not difficult.
B.People are making efforts to protect the environment.
C.Detection dogs attack domestic livestock frequently.
D.Collecting animal waste is a good way to gather information.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Detection dogs can help scientists study wildlife.
B.Detection dogs can defend wildlife.
C.Detection dogs can help the police catch the criminals.
D.Detection dogs can help local people defend domestic livestock.

A migraine headache(偏头疼) can cause disabling pain.People may not feel back to normal for hours or even for days.
Migraine headaches are most common among young adults and middle-aged people.In the United States, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men report having migraines.
People who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers” in different people may get a headache started.Stress can act as a trigger.
Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(气压) can act as triggers, but researchers say they did not have much scientific evidence of that—until now.
In a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients.The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, because of a headache.More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.
The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the hospital visits.For every increase of five degrees Celsius in air temperature, the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraine.Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to cause headaches.
A separate study has found that age, gender and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraine.It found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk.On average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines(腰围).
Experts suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women.Doing exercises regularly is also helpful to reducing migraine headaches.

Stepfamilies are commonplace in the United States and their number continues to grow.While stepfamilies differ widely in their make-up, they all consist of a parenting couple and children, one or more of whom is of a previous union.Such combinations of his kids, her kids, and then, possibly, kids of the new union make for complicated and often trying difficulties, more challenging than those of traditional families.
Since stepfamilies involve more people and, consequently, more potential problems from the start than do childless new marriage, it is wise for the couple to do some careful planning prior to (=before) marriage.Not only do the prospective(预期的) marital partners need agreement about their own carriers, life goals, finance and special interests, they must also prepare for new relationship with their children and attempt to accommodate their individual needs and feelings.Furthermore, there are often the rights of other relatives to consider.
As for any family, the basic ingredient(成分) of a successful stepfamily are affection, kindness and mutual(相互的) respect.However, love alone is not enough.Certainly love is the cornerstone upon which the foundation of any family is built, but there are also many other important ingredients involved in building a successful stepfamily.
Surveys reveal that successful families regard the ability to communicate openly as the most important factor in their success.Communication is what keeps families on track and functioning as a unit.Although healthy communication is easier for some people than for others, this skill can be learned and improved.Healthy communication involves speaking clearly and listening carefully.
By their very nature, stepfamilies often are complicated by past events that give rise to ambivalent(矛盾的) loyalties, lingering(持久的) hurts, fears,feelings of guilt and unrealistic dreams.The difficulties that arise within the stepfamilies are human and understandable.However, there are ways to confront(面临) and resolve them.For example, support groups and professional counselors(法律顾问) are available in most communities to provide help and guidance when communications stopped and problems seem overwhelming(压倒性的).
Planning and building a stepfamily is not a responsibility to take lightly.It can be a very trying and, at times, seemingly impossible effort.Many potential troubles can arise and threaten to destroy the stepfamily.Nevertheless, meeting and mastering these special challenges can bring unexpected satisfactions and rewarding depths of family closeness and affection.
According to the passage, there are      in the United States.

A.no stepfamilies
B.more stepfamilies than ever before
C.fewer stepfamilies than ever before
D.fewer stepfamilies than traditional ones

Which of the following can help avoid the potential problems arising in a stepfamily?

A.The pursuit of the same careers.
B.Professional interventions(干涉).
C.The development of special interests.
D.Careful planning before the marriage.

Many people believe that      contributes most to the building of a successful stepfamily.

A.everlasting loyalties
B.open communication
C.kindness and mutual respect
D.persistent(持久稳固的) affection

It is natural for a stepfamily to be     .

A.unrealistic
B.complicated
C.ambivalent
D.guilty

According to the author, planning and building a stepfamily is     .

A.impossible
B.satisfying and rewarding

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty.In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States.The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies.The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
What can be the best title of the text?

A.Happiness Varies with Ages B.Experience More, Worry Less
C.The Older, the Wiser D.Being Young, Being Happy

We can learn from the research that _________.

A.only when people get older will they feel happier

D.older people usually have no worries

According to the research, when people get older, _________.

A.they miss the old days B.they are physically weak
C.they have better self-control D.they are more emotional

What would the author probably talk about next?

C.How to keep happier. D.Why women are less happier.

The author is intended to _________.

A.advise how to reduce stress
B.introduce a scientific finding
