  The mother came out of the exam room to hold me up: she knew I would probably have to talk to her daughter about how she was gaining weight, she said, but please don’t use the word “fat” or even “overweight”. Don’t make her feel bad about herself.
  The girl was about 8, and clearly some balance had shifted over the past year, and her weight was increasing much too fast relative to her height.
  But I was as conscious of my own body as I was of hers. “How on earth,” I was thinking, “should I give nutritional advice when all they have to do is to look at me to see that I don’t follow it very well myself? How to be in line with her mother’s reasonable request? And above all, how should I help prevent from the so-called childhood obesity(肥胖)when not a week goes by that I don’t break my own resolutions?”
  “The advice we’re supposed to give is ‘Eat less, exercise more,’” said Dr Julie C. Lumeng, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan Medical School and an expert in child-hood obesity.   “What does it mean when the doctor clearly can not follow the doctor’s own advice?” I asked that question of Dr David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program.
  “This is an issue that can cut in every possible direction,” he replied. “The doctor who is herself struggling with her weight will have the advantage of personal experience in the patient’s viewpoint—which may increase sympathy and provide other insights that a primary-care practitioner without the problem may not have.”
  “On the other hand,” he continued, “the patient may view a doctor who is well overweight as lacking the basic understanding of the problem to put those principles into effect in his own life.”
  There has been growing concern about childhood obesity in recent years. But meanwhile, the American children have gotten heavier. I have diagnosed Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)in too many of my patients, and I haven’t done any major shrinking myself.
  1. Why did the mother stop the doctor after her daughter was examined?
  A. She knew the doctor.
  B. She wanted to get some advice.
  C. She was eager to know the result.
  D. She had something secret to tell the doctor.
  2. What can we learn from the text about the doctor?
  A. He was trying to lose weight.
  B. He was an expert on childhood obesity.
  C. He gave some nutritional advice to the girl.
  D. He knew Dr Julie C and Dr David Ludwig well.
  3. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 6 probably refer to?
  A. Gaining weight.
  B. Failing to reduce weight.
  C. Being unable to follow the advice of his own.
  D. Having no much experience in reducing weight.
  4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
  A. The author feels unsuccessful in his job.
  B. The American children are getting weaker.
  C. Fat doctors are more concerned with childhood obesity.
  D. More and more people come to care for childhood obesity.

  “Lemons” in Used Car Market
  Suppose that you, a college student of limited income, are in the market of a used pickup truck. The following ad in a local used car publication catches your eyes.
  1993 Ford Ranger, 4WD, a/c.
  AM/FM/cass., showroom condition.
  Call 555-1234 after 5pm.
  This is exactly the kind of car you want, so you call to ask about the price. The price you are told over the phone is $2,000 lower than the price for this model with this equipment listed in a used car guidebook. Instead of being interested, however, you are suspicious.
  For many products, when you must pay less than the going rate, you believe you are getting a great deal. This is not necessarily the case for used cars or other durable goods(耐用消费品)(washing machines and television sets, for example) because with expensive products you must be particularly careful about getting a “lemon”.
  In addition to asking the price, the age of a car is a factor when you are trying to determine whether a seller is attempting to sell a lemon. While people have all sorts of reasons for wanting to sell their cars—even relatively new cars—most people hold off until they have put many thousands of miles on a car or until the used car is several years old. You would probably be as suspicious of a car that is “too new” as you would a car that is “too good” a deal. In fact, you are probably willing to pay a high price for a high-quality used car. While this price would certainly be acceptable to the seller, the competitive market might not facilitate(有利于)such trades.
  1. What is the meaning of the underlined word “suspicious”?
  A. Very happy. B. Quite surprised.   C. Rather doubtful. D. A little interested.
  2. “Lemon” in this passage refers to ___ .
  A. a kind of fruit
  B. a kind of used car
  C. a product of low price
  D. a product of poor quality
  3. What should you consider carefully to get a good buy according to the author?
  A. The miles the car has run.
  B. The price and the age of the car.
  C. The trade condition of the car market.
  D. The reason of the seller for selling the car.
  4. We can infer from the last two sentences of the text that used cars are ___ .
  A. relatively new B. generally cheap
  C. usually of poor quality D. very attractive to buyers

  Today is Sunday. I had been studying all day long. On the morning, I had a dry breakfast. I had no water to drink because the water supply had cut off. The water came back in the evening. I did math exercises then. I didn’t stop after 12 o’clock. After the short lunch I had a break. Then I went to my Sunday English Class. After a long and tired class for more than two hours, I got home. Then I must review all my subject such as the Sciences, the Humanities which they include Chinese, English, Politics and History as well. That’s terribly, especially when there were no water.   跟踪导练(四)

  We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all aspects of their adult-life work, leisure, personal relationships, creative activities, dealing with money matters, independence, and parenthood.
  However, it would be unrealistic to provide an education which gave no consideration to the needs of employers.
  What type of training does the business world regard as important?
  Many young people applying for jobs are, in the employers’ opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though further education at university level improves the students’ general ability, a report states, “In basic skills the standards remain stubbornly low.”
  It is doubtful whether standards have lowered in recent years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough. Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students’ abilities?
  We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship(学徒身份)20 years ago now desire to have an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. No wonder there are problems in reaching the “necessary standards” of the business world.
  Many employers believe that it is important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kinds of jobs to see how the world of business and commerce is different from their own. The teaching profession and society in general need a greater under-standing of manpower needs and therefore of “the desired” direction of the education system.
  1. In the writer’s opinion, education should ___ .
  A. improve adults’ life
  B. pay more attention to basic skills
  C. centre on students’ working ability
  D. take the needs of employers into consideration
  2. In talking about basic skills, the employers mean the standards ___ .
  A. have lowered B. are changing
  C. can’t meet the need D. should be kept the same
  3. The underlined part in Paragraph 6 refers to those who ___ .
  A. are likely to be unemployed
  B. have just left the middle school
  C. are looking for jobs far beyond their abilities   D. might be shop assistants, hairdressers or apprentices in the past
  4. It’s suggested that teachers should ___ .
  A. never change their jobs
  B. improve their teaching methods
  C. spend more time on their school work
  D. get some working experience outside school

  According to historical documents, the forefathers of the Naxi people were closely related to a tribe called “Maoniu Yi” in the Han Dynasty, “Maoniu Yi” in the Jin Dynasty and “Moxie Yi” in the Tang Dynasty.
  Between the early 10th century and the middle of the 13th century, production in the Lijiang area experienced marked changes, as agriculture replaced livestock(家畜)breeding as the main occupation of the people. Scores of agricultural, handicraft, mineral and livestock products were turned out, and the country presented a picture of prosperity. During that period, a number of slave-owning groups in Ninglang, Lijiang and Weixi counties gradually grew into a feudal manorial lord caste(世袭封建庄园领主制).
  In 1278, the Yuan Dynasty established Lijiang Prefecture(自治州), representing the imperial court in Yunnan Province. This resulted in closer links between the Lijiang area and the centre of the empire.
  In the early Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Naxi people, named Mude, was made chief of Lijiang Prefecture, exercising control over the Naxi and other ethnic groups nearby. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs from the Mu family kept taxes and tribute(贡品)flowing to the Ming court in the form of silver and grain. The Ming, in turn, relied on the Mu family as the mainstay for the control of the people of various ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan Province.
  Later, with the development of the productive forces, buying, selling and renting of land began to take place in the Naxi areas, marking the beginning of a landlord economy.
  1. What was probably the main occupation in the 13th century in Lijiang?
  A. Livestock breeding. B. Agriculture.
  C. Fishing. D. Forestry.
  2. When was Lijiang Prefecture set up?
  A. In the Tang Dynasty. B. In the Song Dynasty.
  C. In the Yuan Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty.
  3. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
  A. Mu Family’s important role.
  B. The Ming court’s financial situation.   C. The achievements of Naxi people’s leader.
  D. Yunnan Province’s economy in Ming Dynasty..
  4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
  A. The Mu Family
  B. The Rulers of Naxi
  C. The History of Lijiang Prefecture
  D. The History of the Naxi Ethnic Group
