Teenagers are gaining weight (增加体重). 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 lifestyle 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. less worries D. beautiful look

9. According to the passage, teens who do little exercise might miss the chance to ________.
A. make more friends B. learn better in school

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.

B. To share housework and live healthily.
C. To make cleaning faster and easier.

Imagine you are in Africa. Suddenly, a group of spots moves past you quickly. What was it? It may be a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. 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 a spring-like backbone that help it run fast. It can jump as far 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, cheetahs 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. To help it run faster. B. To attract other cheetahs.
C. To hide in the grass while hunting. D. To protect it from the hot sun.
18. Read this chart (图表):
When: Then:
Cheetahs use their energy very quickly and becomes tired.
Cheetahs have to rest for a while if they do not catch their food.
Lions and hyenas hunt cheetahs.
?
The chart shows some information about this passage. Which can be put in ________?
A. Cheetahs hide in the tall brown grass.
B. People in Africa hunt lions and hyenas.
C. Wildlife experts try to help cheetahs.
D. The number of cheetahs becomes bigger.
19. What’s the structure of this passage?
A. ①/②③/④ B. ①/②③④ C. ①②/③④ D. ①②③/④
20. Why is “Speedy and Spotty” a good title for the article?
A. Because it catches the reader’s attention.
B. Because it gives the names of two cheetahs.
C. Because it explains why a cheetah can run fast.
D. Because it describes two strengths about cheetah, its speed and spots.

The word “family” has special meanings to everyone. A happy family is what everyone is thirsty for. However, because of different personalities (性格), values, interests and hobbies, some unhappy things may happen among family members at times. So how can we get family happiness?
Learn to say thanks and sorry.

Helping around the house brings family members much closer. Since we live in one house, we should do our part in keeping it clean and tidy. It’s easy to help do chores like making the bed or doing the dishes. In this way, we can understand the idea of fairness.

Teenagers are gaining weight (增加体重). 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 lifestyle 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.

9. According to the passage, teens who do little exercise might miss the chance to ________.
A. make more friends B. learn better in school
C. have less fun D. eat more delicious food
10. Which of the following is true?

D. It’s too late for heavy teenagers to exercise now.

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.

Imagine you are in Africa. Suddenly, a group of spots moves past you quickly. What was it? It may be a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. 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 a spring-like backbone that help it run fast. It can jump as far 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, cheetahs 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. To help it run faster. B. To attract other cheetahs.
C. To hide in the grass while hunting. D. To protect it from the hot sun.

The word “family” has special meanings to everyone. A happy family is what everyone is thirsty for. However, because of different personalities (性格), values, interests and hobbies, some unhappy things may happen among family members at times. So how can we get family happiness?
Learn to say thanks and sorry.
We are used to saying thanks and sorry to others, but often we don’t do that to our family members. By saying thanks, we can make our family members feel they’re important. And saying sorry makes them feel understood.
Communicate with each other often.
Communication can happen in any place at any time. We can talk about our experiences and feelings with our family members in the car, at the dinner table or on the way back home. By talking, we can know we are caring about each other.
Share housework.
Helping around the house brings family members much closer. Since we live in one house, we should do our part in keeping it clean and tidy. It’s easy to help do chores like making the bed or doing the dishes. In this way, we can understand the idea of fairness.
Spend more time together.
We are busy around all day, but nothing is more important than spending time with family members. Either eating meals or travelling together is a good choice. Not only will this allow us to enjoy the deep love but it can also bring us more sweet memories.
