一、阅读理解

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year

ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that

wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later,

when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set

worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the

night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten

to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some

reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few

seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to

another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to

pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉)

shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the

noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether.

My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more

trouble.

Your house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home

could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. you can make your

environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of

your diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely to encourage

overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and

so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps

and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who

ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors

like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when

it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer

calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time,

and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you

need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a

meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22

percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon

over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more

liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

5The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.

A.their home comforts B.their body shape C.house buying D.healthy diets

6.A home environment in blue can help people ____.

A.digest food better B.reduce food intake C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites

7.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A.Eat quickly. B.Play fast music C.Use smaller spoons D.Turn down the lights

8.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Is Your House Making You Fat? B.Ways of Serving Dinner

C.Effects of Self-Consciousness D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It

used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源)

with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start

of the next academic year.

This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put

off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the

University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins

from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who

take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course.

Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.

But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students

(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into

earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to

leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a

gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of

students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating

periods,” he said.

9.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

A.It is flexible in length. B.It is a time for relaxation.

C.It is increasingly popular. D.It is required by universities.

10.According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.

A.are better prepared for college studies B.know a lot more about their future job

C.are more likely to leave university in debt D.have a better chance to enter top universities

11.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?

A.He's puzzled. B.He's worried. C.He's surprised. D.He's annoyed.

12.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
