10、ome degree. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in everything of my life. I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family.

11、les viewing my achievements or my _17_. I wanted everyones praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的人). After I graduated from high school, I decided to be on a diet and thin, and that began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by _18_ my food. In the beginning, I felt greatattra
12、ctive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didnt see was that I was slowly killing myself. People around me began to _19_ my weight loss.

25、at hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey. “Zero waste“ or “danshari“ was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and tr
26、y not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross. Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in
27、Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to buy things without thinking about them carefully until she saw a video about “zero waste“, in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar (罐). After watching the video, Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle w
28、ith 4 her boyfriend. A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule-Refuse Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Over August-October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish. Now, the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, wher
29、e they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmentally friendly logos(标志). Most products sold in the store can be reused. The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with, ideas to make the best of the used things. “Those who once experienced the
30、 non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,“ says Yu, “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧). It is just around us at our finger-tips.“ Yu expects some of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste. ( ) 34. Bea Johnson suggests that people should _. A. try to produce no

Joining the couple C There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food. Taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve
34、 your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough. The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the w
35、orld are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year.
36、Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure. Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can
37、sometimes hear some people say proudly that they dont have much time to sleep. they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work youll do. How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas an ex
38、pert (专家) in sleep. He says , “Sleep is like a credit (信用卡) card. When you sleep less. you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you dont sleep, the more hours you should t sleep to pay back the hours on your sleep credit card.” For those who value work more than sl
39、eep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. “Dont think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a stupid idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.” ( ) 38. According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to
40、 improve health is to . A. eat healthy food every day B. take exercise as much as possible C. get medical help whenever necessary D. sleep eight hours or more every night ( ) 39.

People have no courage. D. People always do less work. ( ) 41. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Value of S
42、leep B. The Value of Study C. The Ways of Eating Less D. The Ways of Making Money D Dear Girls, Youre so young right now, but I hope this letter will be helpful to you one day when youre older. There is so much I wish I could ask my mother about although now I am a grown woman. There is so much we n
43、ever got to talk about. Im planning on standing by forever, but even so, I think these letters will be useful in some way. Who knows how things will change down the road, and at least youll have your 34-year-old mothers thoughts written down on paper. Anyway, I want this letter to be about beauty an
44、d my relationship with it. I feel it is my duty, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. In a lot of womens eyes, Ive probably already failed in this aspect because of a lot of pink Barbie dolls in Veras room right n
45、ow. But I will say this about Barbie dolls: I played with Barbie dolls for many years when I was growing up and here I have a healthy body and a positive image. I have a Masters degree, a successful career and a published book. If Barbie dolls were really so damaging to my femininity (女人气质) and self
46、-image, I highly doubt I could list all of these achievements. Its hard for women to maintain (保持) a healthy self-image. Its hard not to worry about our weight and not to wish we could afford more stylish clothes. Its hard not to want someone elses hair or eyelashes. I have girlfriends around whom I
47、 have to make myself ready to be seen, because even though I love them, just being around them makes me self-conscious(忸怩的). I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why Ive never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? Ive never tried so hard to look good when I know
