Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends always offer support for us. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or cheering us up when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen,or a shoulder to cry on.

Your chair is your enemy.
It doesn't matter if you go running every morning, or you're exercising regularly at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting, you are putting yourself at increased chance of heart disease and cancers. In other words, sitting for long periods is bad for you.
So what's wrong with sitting? One is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. You burn more energy by chewing gum than you do sitting still in a chair. Compared to sitting, standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and the muscles of your back and shoulders. While standing, you often change from leg to leg. All of this burns energy, which will be beneficial for a good health.
For many people, weight gain is a matter of slow increase. Thus, a little more time on your feet today and tomorrow can easily make the difference between keeping thin and getting fat. So part of the problem with sitting a lot is that you don't use as much energy as those who spend more time on their feet. This makes it easier to gain weight, and makes you more likely to suffer from the health problems that fatness often brings.
Some people have advanced solutions: replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk. Make sure that your television can only operate if you are practising on an exercise bike. Replace your office chair with a therapy (治疗) ball: this too uses more muscles, and more energy, than a normal chair, because you have to support your back and work to keep balanced. But whatever you choose, know this. It is clear: be careful of your chair.
12. The main purpose of writing this passage is to _____________.
A. suggest sitting less
B. advise exercising often
C. avoid gaining weight
D. escape standing more
13. From this passage, we know that _____________.
A. standing burns nearly as much energy as sitting still does
B. taking exercise regularly but sitting more will do good
C. less exercise will reduce the chance of having disease
D. energy-burning activities will help you enjoy good health
14. The underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____________”.
A. Gaining weight B. Burning energy
C. Sitting too much D. Standing more
15. A therapy ball is mentioned in the last paragraph to _____________.
A. tell us to walk while working in the office
B. suggest a way to settle the sitting problem
C. support our back and keep us balanced
D. provide a better cure for our backache
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
根据短文内容,从后面选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Although running indoors on a treadmill (跑步机) is comfortable, many runners prefer to train outdoors because it allows them to enjoy nature sights. 16 But running outdoors shows some challenges. Be careful of the following things.
17
Many runners make the mistake of setting their speeds inaccurately (不准确地) when running outdoors. This is especially true for those who are used to running indoors. How can you learn your running level? Regularly choose different speeds and learn about your feelings and performance. How do you feel about jogging, racing and sprinting (短跑) speeds? Also, train to alternate (交替) these speeds to make the routine more challenging.
Adapt to the weather.
Remember that running outdoors is different from running indoors on a treadmill. In the winter, you may run more on the treadmill. Treadmills are a soft surface. When the winter is over and you want to run outdoors again, you need to give your body enough time to get used to the outdoors again. 18
Wear the right shoes.
Avoid wearing bad running shoes with worn-out material. If the material is already worn out, it can no longer provide you with the support your feet need for running. 19 Also, make sure you choose the right shoes—shoes designed specifically for the challenges of running.
Stay patient and work for results.
No matter how hard you train, you won’t see results overnight. You need to be patient. 20 Take your time to make progress and expect challenges.
A. Break your old habit.
B. Know your speed.
C. A pair of good shoes can do wonders.
D. Replace old running shoes quickly.
E. A change of scenery can also improve their feeling.
F. Don’t expect your desired results to happen quickly.
G. Give your body time to get used to different surfaces.

Dear Mark,
I’m delighted to hear that you’re planning on a trip to China. If it is ancient history and various culture that you are looking for, I highly recommend visiting Beijing. I’ve heard that there are splendid sights.
As for our travel plan, I suggest starting with the Great Wall, one of the wonders in the world with a long history. Especially amazing is the Badaling part. After that, we’re going to admire the Olympic sites such as Bird’s Nest, Water Cube and Olympic Park because we are both sport fans. Lastly, we might cycle along Hutongs, where we not only have a taste of the unique dishes but also experience the local lifestyle.
I’m looking forward to being your guide and sharing amazing Beijing with your. Can’t wait to see you.
Yours,
Li Hua
