A
Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

1. The text mainly discusses the relationship between        .
A．heart problems and exercising B． heart problems and air quality
C．heart problems and smoking D．heart problems and fatty food
2. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.
A． relatively low         B．extremely low C．relatively high        D．extremely high
3. What can we learn from the text? 
A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made
D．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking
4. The auther’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to
A. entertain B. persuade C. describe D. Inform

B
Friendly doctors are“bad for their patients’health”，researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like．
Blurring(使…模糊)the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the 
level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects．
“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook they should not hug or allow 
patients to call them by their first names”．regulators have warned．“Those who break the 
boundaries will face some punishment．”
It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists(肿瘤科医生)under the age of 40，found 59 per cent 
said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked．Sixty per cent of respondens said if doctors felt too close to their patients，it could prevent them from making objective
 decisions about a person’s care．
Lesley Fallowfield，of Brighton and Sussex Medical Schoo1．said：“Oncology is a profession
 That can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges．Young oncologists have
 to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening diseaseconveying the
 true prognosis(预后)；discussing the complexity of modern treatments；and explaining the
 unavailability of some drugs，the side-effects of treatment，and likely treatment aims．”
But she said，“Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet 
world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients．
She said：“The difficulty，if you hug and kiss patients，if you allow them to call you by
your first name，is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than 
a professional one．Doctors become confused，‘I really like this person，how can I bear to tell
 them that they’re going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective．”
5. Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients’ health?
A．They find it not easier to be objective to the patients
B．They are not good at treating patients．
C．They don’t like to cheat patients．
D．They seldom blur the relationship with patients.
6. What should doctors do according to the regulations?
A．Add patients as friends on Facebook．
B．Have close connection with patients in life．
C．Keep a proper distance to patients．
D．Always be cold to patients．
7. Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?
A．Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges．
B．Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon
C．It’s not the duty of doctors to deal with patients’anxiety．
D. The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries．
8. Young oncologists will face the following challenges except_____________．
A. discussing difficulties of treatment with patients
B. dealing with a lot of life-threatening diseases
C. explaining the reason for the lack of some medicine
D. informing patients of the possible results of the treatment
C

The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.
Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

12.According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _______________.
A. improving their classroom skills and paying attention
B. improving their classroom skills and imagination
C. improving their attention, direction and imagination
D. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas
13.What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean?
A. unwilling to turn on B. unwilling to leave
C. always looking D. always playing
14.The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _______________.
A. give children self-expression and self-confidence
B. bring to children achievement and success
C. develop children's self-confidence
D. give children something to be proud of
15.What's the best title of this passage？
A. Music makes students much smarter
B. Music builds children's self-confidence
C. Music is a must as a course at school
D. Learning music and making music

If what you are doing doesn't challenge you, then you will not get changed．In our lives we all need some normal stress, after all． 16 So challenge the following limits:
1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．
If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call． 17 But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"
2. 18
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income．
3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．
19 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself．
4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．
Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers — try to connect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. 20
