B
Dear Eliza,
How nice to hear from you again! I can know from your letters that you are feeling bad about your weight. You were once a slim girl. I' m sure you can succeed in losing weight if you want.
From your letter, I know that you eat a lot of junk food, such as ice cream and chocolate. They taste good, of course, but they' re not good for your health.
Eating a little bit of them is fine, but eating too much will increase your calories intake(吸入) and that can make you gain weight.
What you need is a balanced diet. In China, there is an old saying, \"A nutritious
breakfast, a big lunch, and a little supper make you strong\". I think it's a reasonable way to keep fit.
Exercising outside in the sun can help increase your body' s calcium(钙) level. What’s more, exercise will make you sweat, which can burn a lot of calories in your body. So don't stay in front of your computer all day long and don't always sit in the classroom at school. By the way, you talked about the trip to China in your letter. I’m looking forward to seeing you in Beijing. Best wishes.
Yours, Betty

C
One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a chair in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.
When kids fall down, they don't think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.
While I was touched by the boy's strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child----just being himself----being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.
He was not looking for others' smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.
41. From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.
A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up 42. Which is TRUE according to the writer?
A. Kids know they will learn something after falling down. B. Kids do not get themselves up when they fall down. C. Falling is always considered a failure by kids. D. Falling causes kids to give up running freely.
43. The writer was touched by the boy because the boy ______. A. might stop running when he fell down B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run C. didn’t care about the fall and went on running
D. was good at running and never fell down
44. What does the underlined word “attempt” mean? It means _______ A. 攻击 B. 尝试 C. 失败 D. 冲击 45. What can we learn from the story?
A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on. B. Falling down is the mother of success.
C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.
D. One will succeed if he/she is confident and never gives up.
D

Many doctors are also i 5 in the effects of laughter on our health.
According to a 5-year study in the body, laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.So, w 6 happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club to find out. I was quite n 7 at the beginning of the class, to be honest , I was worried about looking foolish. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say \"ho ho ho, ha ha ha,\" while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter. S 8 they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes, e 9 in the room was laughing for real -- and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you're u 10 stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!

One possible passage: Dear Headmaster,
I’m very glad to write a letter to you. These days we are talking about how to have a better school life. Here are some of my suggestions. First, I hope our school will open the library more often. Second, I think our school can organize more after-class activities. Next I hope our school will give us more time for sports, art and music. And I suggest our school should organize fewer exams as well.
As for our teachers, I hope they will be our friends and make classes more interesting. And if they can talk less but more clearly in class, we will be more interested in studying and have more time to practice. What’s more, I hope they will give us less homework and finish classes on time.
Hope my suggestions will be helpful. Thanks for reading my letter!
Yours sincerely,
Li Xian
