A recent study shows 97% of teens hardly ever take exercise. It’s bad news because too little exercise can cause some problems and doing little exercise means missing a lot of good things in life. Exercise helps us in two ways. First, exercise can make your body strong and also keep you at a healthy weight. Doctors say that people who stay at a healthy weight have fewer health problems. Second, exercise can help your mind. People who usually exercise might worry less and sleep better at night. You may even learn better in school. So from now on you’d better change your life style and be more active at any point. It’s never too late. An article called “How to Get Moving” gives these ideas: Start slowly. If you think exercising an hour a day seems a little long for you, you can start with 10 minutes of new activities every day. Then add more as you get stronger. Think about walking. Take the stairs(楼梯)instead of the lift. You will be healthier. Exercise with others. Find a friend or family member to exercise or play with you. You don’t need to exercise alone. You will have more fun. 6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Teens are losing weight. B. Teens don’t exercise much. C. Teens have some problems. D. Teens are worrying about their weight. 7. Doing exercise can bring us the following EXCEPT_____according to the passage. A. better sleep B. better grades C. loss worries D. beautiful look 8. According to the article "How to Get Moving", which of the following is NOT mentioned as a suggestion to start exercising? A. Exercising with a friend or family member. B. Starting with short periods of activity. C. Choosing activities that you enjoy. D. Using the stairs instead of the lift. 9.

You can be healthier by taking the stairs instead of using the lift. D. It’s too late for heavy teenagers to exercise now. C Living in a messy home is not enjoyable. Here are some useful ideas for tidying up your home. One way to start tidying up your home is to make a cleaning plan. You can ask different family members to do different things. For example, one person can sweep the floor, another can clean the bathroom, and someone else can tidy up the living room. By making plans and working together, you can make the cleaning process faster and easier. Another helpful way is to clean your home regularly. Put all your things together and think about what you no longer need or use. You can give these things to people who need them. By giving away things you no longer need, you can create more space and keep your home in order. Lastly, make sure to put things back in the right place after using them. This will help prevent clutter from building up and make it easier to find things when you need them. By following these ways, you can keep your home clean and tidy. How can you sweep the world if you don’t sweep one house? Doing housework is an important part of the all-round development of students. Doing chores helps to develop students’ independence(自立) and teaches students how to look after themselves. 11．What is the purpose(目的) of making a cleaning plan?

It can run up to 70 miles every hour, which is faster than most cars moving on the highway! The cheetah is famous for its speed (速度). A cheetah has long legs and spring-like backbone that help it run fast. It can jump as fast as 20 feet in one leap! Although the cheetah can run fast, it can not run for a long time. It uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If the cheetah can not catch its food quickly, it will have to rest for a while before trying again. A cheetah is also a great hunter. A cheetah’s coat is useful. Its coat is light brown with black spots (斑点). It helps it to hide (隐藏) in the tall brown grass in Africa. Other animals do not see it hiding, so a cheetah can get close to rabbits, birds, and other animals quietly. Besides, it has sharp eyesight（视力). A cheetah can see other animals far away. Good eyesight helps the cheetah find other animals easily. Today the cheetah is in danger. Parts of Africa are being turned into farms. This change forces the cheetah to find new places to live, which is not always easy. Cheetahs are also being hunted by other animals such as lions and hyenas. Luckily, zookeepers and wildlife experts are trying to save the cheetah. Maybe with their help, cheetah will grow larger in number. 16．What helps a cheetah to be a great hunter? A．The useful coat and sharp eyesight. B．Long legs and spring-like backbone. C．Lions and hyenas. D．Zookeepers and wildlife experts. 17. Why is the cheetah's coat light brown with black spots? A.
