Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： There are many ways to lose weight. First of all, start small. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than drastic ones. Try reducing the size of the portions you eat and giving up regular soda for a week. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

Second, stop eating when you're full. Lots of people eat when they're bored, lonely, or stressed, or keep eating long after they're full out of habit. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you're full. Slowing down can help because it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to recognize how much is in your stomach. Sometimes taking a break before going for seconds can keep you from eating another serving.

Avoid eating when you feel upset or bored, try to find something else to do instead (a walk around the block or a trip to the gym are good alternatives). Many people find it's helpful to keep a diary of what they eat and when. Reviewing the diary later can help them identify the emotions they have when they overeat or whether they have unhealthy habits. A registered dietitian can give you pointers on how to do this.

Third, eat less more often. Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthy choices at meals. Stick a couple of healthy snacks in your backpack so that you can have one or two snacks during the day. Adding healthy snacks to your three squares and eating smaller portions when you sit down to dinner can help you cut calories without feeling deprived.

This student eating guide aims to give you the confidence to eat nutritiously (有营养地) , cheaply and enjoy ably whatever your cooking skills are.

So what is a healthy diet？ Healthy eating is not just avoiding less healthy foods—it is eating foods that are positively good for our health. Here are five steps to healthy eating.

1. Have regular meals. Feed your brain nutritiously on a regular basis and it is more likely to work efficiently.

2. Aim to eat a third of your food as starchy(含淀粉的)food, e. g. bread, rice, potatoes—all relatively cheap and nutritious.

3. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetable. They are good to people's health.

4. Cut down on fat. Choose such meat as chicken, try low fat milk and avoid fried food.

5. Eat less sugar. Try to reduce the number of times you eat sweets, chocolate, etc.

It is the diet as a whole that is important. Variety helps to ensure a nutritional (营养的) balance. There are no"bad foods"but there are"bad diets".

Forgetfulness or dementia, long accepted as a part of growing older, is actually not a natural consequence of old age. Some people actually stay as sharp mentally as they ever were but it doesn't come by accident. Mental acuity can be safeguarded throughout our lives in many ways.

Get physical. Maintaining a reasonable level of physical activity does more than keeping our bodies in shape. Activity helps us to release endorphins (the feel good hormones) which make people of all ages function more efficiently. Recent studies have found that exercise also keeps our mental functioning in shape.

Read. People who enjoy reading are using their minds and their imaginations. They are learning with each page they turn. Talking books are available if you can't see as well as you used to. The benefits will be the same. Watch TV to stay sharp rather than zone out. Playing along with trivia game shows is fun and it helps you to keep thinking. Watch educational programming like shows on home decorating, or programs about history or cooking which require thinking. Do jigsaw puzzles, anagrams and crossword puzzles. These keep your vision, hands and minds busy at the same time.

Eat the right brain fuel. Cancer fighting antioxidants are found in deeply colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, many beans and certain spices. Make sure that your diet is balanced overall which is important to all areas of your body. Drink lots of water, six to eight glasses each day is recommended. Maintaining a normal weight reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes, joint problems, and stroke and it also helps you to remain fit.

Our brains are the headquarters of our lives. They direct our thought, movement, intention, emotion and senses. Every area of the brain requires us to maintain high functionality. Learn to multitask by engaging your senses and your body and your thoughts at the same time—as with a walk along the beach where you see, feel, smell, move and think at once. We are what we eat and our brains run on stimulation. Just keeping life and the daily business of living a grand adventure will keep you young in heart, mind and body.

Mental acuity can be achieved in the following ways EXCEPT______.

A．having a balanced diet

B．forming a habit of reading

C．doing as much exercise as possible

D．keeping a routine of physical training

be loved by your dog.

The most important part of dog-care is to keep the dog clean. Not only does the dog have to be kept clean, his environment should also be clean. The bed he sleeps in can be made with anything like a rug or a dog mattress.

Proper feeding is also important. A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule. During feeding time it should be quiet, ff your dog refuses to eat, don't force him. Remove his food and don't feed him again until his next feeding.

Food should never be left before a dog for over thirty minutes under any circumstances, If he does not eat over a long period of time, your dog should be taken to a vet. Another important thing is to keep fresh water available to the dog during hot weather.

One important thing is exercise for dogs. Vigorous exercise helps to build strength and keeps dogs healthy. A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough for smaller dogs. Large dogs, though, require a run in an open field.

How long should food be left before a dog？

A．As long as possible,

B．At least 30 minutes.

C．All day.

D．No more than 30 minutes.

ies. To begin with, being more active is important for keeping your weight in check. Choose an activity that makes you breathe hard and sweat a bit. Discover some great activities you can do by yourself, with a friend, or with a big bunch of people. There are fun ideas for every situation—you don't need to join a teem to be active!

Doctors usually don't recommend cutting back on the amount of food you eat, although your doctor may suggest better food choices, such as choosing foods with less fat and sugar in them. Because you are still growing, you need to keep eating and you also need to choose your foods wisely.

You can talk with your family and get everybody involved in eating better foods and exercising more. Keep your metabolism, or the rate at which you consume energy from food, at a high speed by staying active. The faster your body uses energy, which comes from food, the less likely you are to be at an unhealthy weight.

In fact, small changes in your diet and activities can add up to big changes in how you look and feel. For example, you can cut down on your TV, computer, or video game time by 30 minutes a day. Never skip breakfast and eat a good one with fruits, grains, and vegetables. Again, you can start a water habit. If you're thirsty, drink water instead of sugary juice, iced tea, or soft drinks.

Remember that not only will eating healthily and exercising more keep you at your ideal weight, you'll feel better about yourself, too. Now you're on your way to a lifetime of health!

Why is it important for you to be more active？

A．Because it reminds you of your weight.

B．Because it can get rid of your worries.

C．Because it is a good way to test your weight.

D．Because it helps you control your weight.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： When you have a dog it is necessary to care for it very carefully. In return you will be loved by your dog as a kind of monarch who is loved by his people.

Proper feeding is also important to your dog's health. Heavy aluminum feeding pans are best since they cannot chip or break. A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule. During feeding time it should be quiet. If your dog refuses to eat, don't force him. Remove his food and don't feed him again until his next regular feeding.

Food should never be left before a dog for more than thirty minutes under any circumstances. If he does eat over a long period of time, your dog should be taken to a veterinarian. Another important thing is to keep fresh water available to the dog during hot weather.

One important thing that many dog owners forget is exercise for their dogs. Vigorous exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy. Without it the dog's development is impeded. A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough to help a small dog live a healthier and happier life. Large dogs, though, require a nm in an open field.

There are other things that are also important for a dog's health-things like bathing, care of the teeth and nails, keeping them away from insects as much as possible. But if you observe the three main points covered above, your dog will give you a great amount of pleasure.

y about meeting sleep and twisting around, trying to find a comfortable position, you're probably only making matters worse. What happens is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax. You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day？ Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise strenuously late in the day？ Do you think about sleep a lot or sleep late on weekends？ Any of these facts might be leading to your insomnia by disrupting your body's natural rhythm. What should you do then on those sleepless nights？ Don't bother with sleeping pills; they can actually cause worse insomnia, later. The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish. They are all rich in the amino acid that helps produce in the brain a neural transmitter that induces sleep. This neural transmitter will help you relax, and you'll be on the way to get a good night's sleep. Until tomorrow's broadcast, this has been another series "Hint for Good Health" by Doctor Handison.

We can learn from the passage that when twisting around,______.

A．people can't fall asleep

B．people may feel relaxed

C．people's blood pressure increases

D．people may find a more comfortable position

So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind？ Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, the worry people have about vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet—the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed(with the possible exception of Vitamin D). The problem is that there are many people who dont choose foods wisely, dont get enough variety, and dont eat the basic foods they need to get their vitamins. So the answer to this question is: no extra vitamins are needed, providing you eat proper foods. In fact, many of the vitamins cannot be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of Vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in. What foods supply what vitamins？ Here is a quick general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin Bl which helps the nervous and digestive system and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certain fruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.

Vitamin A is needed by____and can be found in____.

A．bones pork

B．nervous system milk

C．eyes green vegetables

D．teeth meats
