Many of us enjoy watching animals in the world. But do you know they can teach us?

Geese(雁 ), for example, teach a very good lesson about  16  . In the fall, Canada geese fly to the warm south to   17    Canada's cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet   18   they form a V shape, with one bird leading the group. This V shape allows geese to   19  energy. When the front bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird   20  has the hardest job. When it gets   21  , it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel great distances. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without   22   than birds flying alone. During the long flying journey, geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫) to 23  the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up   24   working toward a common goal.

What have we learned from the lovely geese’s experience and skills?

  25  together! Whether it is our personal lives or our jobs, we need other people. We need the spirit of teamwork!

Although many people agree that junk food is unhealthy and has little nutrition, they are still fond of it.

   Why do people like it?

   The name ”Junk food” first appeared in 1972. Over the years, it has become popular with many people.

   Suppliers are fond of it because it is cheap to make and easy to keep for a long time. Many consumers(消费者) are fond of it because it is easy to buy and it tastes good.

   What is junk food?

   Junk food has a lot of fat, salt or sugar and many food additives（添加剂）. Scientists believe that eating a lot of junk food makes people overweight. People may also have their heart disease, high blood pressure and tooth problems if they eat too much junk food.

   What food is called junk food?

   This is a difficult question. Different people may give different answers. For example, fast food such as hamburgers, pizza and French fries, is often regarded as junk food. Other food, such as roast potatoes and bread, is not junk food although it has limited(有限的) nutrition. Also , candy and soft drinks are junk food because they have a lot of sugar, but honey and grapes are not. Many people prefer to have cereal(谷类植物) at breakfast because it is healthy food, but breakfast cereals may have lots of sugar, salt and fat.

   Should children eat junk food?

   When children start eating junk food，they will have less and less milk and healthy fruit juice. This can make them have weak bones.

   However, some junk food, such as chips, may be good to children because it may have necessary fat. However , since they are fat, children should not eat too much.

  To many scientists, junk food is not very harmful when people have it as a part of a balanced diet.

Acupuncture is known as “zhenjiu” in Chinese. Growing up, I’d always considered it out of date. As we

know, acupuncture treatment lasts a long period and causes a lot of pain. Sometimes simply taking a pill(药) can treat the same illness. But my experience made me change my mind.

Last month, I slept through a flight from London to Beijing. When I woke up, I found that I could no longer move my right arm and fingers. There was no pain. My arm simply didn’t follow my brain’s instructions to move, as if it was no longer mine.

One doctor said he could do nothing but give me some pills. “Rest for two months first and come back for an examination.” I felt great fear.

In that moment of despair, my friend, an acupuncturist in Sichuan, offered to help. I started my acupuncture treatment the next day. At first, I was worried. After a few days, I could move my fingers. Two weeks later, I could use chopsticks. Within a month, I got almost well. It was amazing. How do these tiny needles(针) treat illnesses? Is it magic? Or simply luck? I tried to find out.

Acupuncture first appeared in China more than 2,000 years ago. It works by improving the smooth flow of “qi”. “Qi” flows through “jingluo” throughout the body.

Although acupuncture can’t treat all illnesses, at least it creates a good starting point to build a healthy body. Recently, it has spread internationally, which shows the power of acupuncture. I hope this kind of traditional Chinese medicine will bring health and happiness to friends all over the world.

42. Why does the writer mention “a pill” in Paragraph 1?

A. To give an example    B. To start a new topic.   C. To make a comparison.     D. To explain its importance.

43. What happened to the writer during the flight?

A. She had a bad dream.             B. Her fingers hurt seriously.  

C. She couldn’t control her arm.       D. Her arm was painful for no reason.

44. The underlined word “despair” means “_______” in Chinese.

A. 绝望      B. 淡然     C. 陶醉    D. 激昂

45. What’s the main idea of the passage?  

A. Acupuncture has long gone out of date.        

B. Acupuncture treatment is well worth a try.

C. Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine.

D. Acupuncture is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Internet brings people closer or farther?

Last Friday , we made a survey on whether the Internet brings people closer to each other. Let’s look at what they said.

Mary : The Internet makes people get closer to each other . The Internet gives strangers a chance to know each other and then become friends . Through the Internet, families and friends can talk at any time, anywhere. It’s so convenient that we’d like to communicate with each other more.

Dan : Real communication needs not only people’s words, but also body language and facial expressions . There are so many people cheating online, making it difficult for people to make real friends on the Internet. Too much online chatting will also lead to the loss of basic social skills.

James : The Internet shortens(缩短) the distance between people but it also brings troubles. Sometimes we refuse our parents’ suggestions to go out because we want to spend more time on the Internet . However, doing things with parents is really a precious thing.
