You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain (增力n) weight; but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes choosing food
University kitchens serve(供應(yīng))many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food,because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.
Eating right
If you,re careful, you don,t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:
l Think more about what you eat.
l Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.
l Don’t eat desserts full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.
l Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.
l It,s all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.
l Write down the foods you eat.
l Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!
Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

Want a good night's sleep? Then turn off your computer, cell phone or PSP two hours before you go to bed.
These things have bright lights. When our eyes see bright lights just before sleep, our sleep patterns (模式) change, a study has found.
Our body clock starts shutting us down for bed at 9 or 10 pm. But bright lights make our minds think that it is still daytime. That wakes us up and leaves us sleepless, experts say.
But if you read a paper book before sleeping, you won't have this problem. This is because light from a bedside lamp (臺燈) does not go straight into our eyes.
Also, if you are watching a television from across the bedroom, you won't have problems falling asleep. The TV sends light to us from a distance, so the light won't be as strong.
小題1:The writer tells us to turn off the computer         before bed time.
A.half an hourB.a(chǎn)n hourC.two hoursD.three hours
小題2:Which of the following may make us sleepless?
A.Reading a newspaper.B.Talking on QQ.
C.Reading a book.D.Watching TV.
小題3:Why can't we sleep well if we use a computer before bed time?
A.We think it is daytime if we leave computers on.
B.We feel too excited to sleep after using computers.
C.Lights from computers are brighter than other lights.
D.Lights from computers can change our sleep patterns.

Some students cheat(作弊) because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without   43  the time studying. Other students might feel that they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, it isn’t a good   44 .
A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test   45  to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and   46  them out will help feel better than cheating.
If a student gets   47  cheating, the teacher may give a “zero” on the test, send him or her to the head teacher’s office, and call his or her parents. Worse than the bad grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people,   48  parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an   49  person and a teacher might watch you more   50  the next time you’re taking a test.
There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s   51  too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a habit, but a student is always able to act better and make better   52 . It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend.

What will the house of the future look like? Architects (建筑師) believe that there are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the house will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house.” Like a leaf, the surface (表面) of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground.
The lizard (蜥蜴) house
Like a lizard, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技術(shù)) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney.
小題1:We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home _________.
A.with a leaf from the tree
B.with the energy from sunlight
C.with gardens on its wall
D.with the door in the house
小題2:What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A.It will take in light.B.It will produce energy.
C.It will turn dark.D.It will turn white.
小題3:People can’t plant __________ on the outside wall of the house according to the passage.
A.tomatoesB.potatoesC.carrotsD.green tea

Scientists believe in the near future a new kind of car that can not only drive on the road, but also fly in the sky will serve the people, it is called “flying-driving vehicle”.
Since the turn of the 20th century, there have been many hundreds of designs for flying-driving vehicles. And some of them have actually been built and flown. But “Transition” is the closest to people.
Transition was designed in 2006, and the first road and flight tests took place in 2009. Transition is designed to really be a general airplane, which can fold up(折疊)fully its wings, drive down the road and park in a single-car garage(車庫).
Transition can climb to more than 3000 meters high. It can carry two people at speeds over 160 kilometers an hour in the air. And on the ground it can drive at highway speeds, about 113 kilometers an hour.
Scientists expect Transition to reach market at the end of 2012, at a price of around 25, 0000 dollars. Mr. Carl Dietrich says nearly 100 people have already signed up as buyers. He hopes to sell as many as 1000 a year in the near future.

The scientists from the Lockheed Space Company (公司) work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What the scientists input is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as possible. Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints (印刷品), but the most effective seems to be by pigeon (鴿子). Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.
Human (人類的) messengers (persons carrying messages) are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout system(電子印刷系統(tǒng)) could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each.
Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about the pigeons in the newspapers around the world.
小題1:The story is mainly about      .
