Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice.
If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you 11 . Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out what things are on sale and decide if you 12 need them. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s 13 than usual!“New and Improved!” or “All Natural!” on the front of a package affects you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(成分) on the back. Then 14 the prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(品牌) and different sizes of the same brand.
Another 15 for consumers is to buy ordinary(普通的) items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items come in 16 packages(包装). These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way,in buying 17 , you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you 18 a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive,their dressing rooms are not as 19 as those in the high-priced department stores.
Wise customers read magazine ads and watch TV programs,but they do this with one advantage:knowledge of the psychology(心理学)behind the ads. In other words, well-informed customers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser 20 something in small print at the bottom of the page Is there any real information in the TV programs, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
11.A.ask for B.think of C.look for D.plan to
12.A.very B.really C.only D.already
13.A.better B.newer C.cheaper D.hungrier
14.A.see B.find C.decide D.compare
15.A.suggestion B.education C.examination D.advertisement
16.A.cheap B.ugly C.simple D.light
17.A.food B.clothes C.products D.items
18.A.save B.make C.find D.spend
19.A.useful B.personal C.ordinary D.comfortable
20.A.playing B.checking C.hiding D.cheating

Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students Just look around you—it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted—only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore. “Children in East Asia just go to school, go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive educational pressures and the construction of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.”
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.
26.What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia
A.Too much reading or gaming. B.Being short of sunlight.
C.Genetic reasons. D.Being short of exercise.
27.How long do experts suggest children stay outside every week
A.Two to three hours.
B.Fourteen to twenty-one hours.
C.Two to three days.
D.Over twenty-one hours.
28.In the writer’s opinion, why can’t East Asian students get enough bright light
A.Because they don’t like sports.
B.Because their parents don’t allow them to.
C.Because they have great pressures from study.
D.Because they spend more time playing sports.
29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A.Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape.
B.Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly.
C.Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body.
D.The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.
30.What is the purpose of writing the passage
A.To introduce the number of the near sighted children.
B.To compare the number of near sighted children in different countries.
C.To urge people to learn about the reason for being nearsighted and let children stay outside longer.
D.To criticize the education in Asian countries.

Have you seen a red panda before What about a video of it Some 36 ago, a video about a red panda getting into a hotel room was popular online. The person who took the video seemed happy to have the chance to closely play with this “cute” animal. 37 , experts warned that the cute things it did could be dangerous to humans!
The red panda’s back is brown. Its belly (肚子) and legs are dark brown or black. There are fewer than 10, 000 red pandas in the world. The number of 38 is expected to continue to fall. They are endangered animals. They face many dangers, including less bamboo to eat, 39 places to stay, and animal trade. Over half of red panda’s deaths connect directly to human activities.
When red pandas walk into 40 places, it usually means they have nowhere to go. Naturally, they like to hide in the woods. 41 for them, it is not a normal thing to walk around near humans. It means that they are influenced by us humans too much! For humans, it is 42 to play with wild animals like red pandas. You may think that a red panda looks cute when it is standing 43 humans or lying down and showing its belly, but these are actually signs that it is very scared.
It may attack you in order to protect 44 and hurt you badly. We all know that men and nature should live harmoniously (融洽地) and 45 . But if people think of wild animals as pets or “friends”, there must be someone trying to catch them, keep them or use them to make money. The best way to protect either wild animals or ourselves is to keep distance.

Suddenly I woke up and discovered the presents were gone. I got off the bus sadly. My grandparents were excited to see me. I explained that I had lost the presents for them. They said a few words to comfort me and cooked me a big meal. On my way home I didn’t sleep. I got off at my bus stop. Unluckily, I fell over and hurt my knees. Finally, I arrived home. My parents asked me if my grandparents liked the presents. I told them everything. They were really upset. What a bad day!
