Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole
day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV
talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d
told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”
— Mike, Randy, and Alex — came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted
“breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using
his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to
the beat(节拍). Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background.
Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy
locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his
pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone
named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.
Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the
jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating
the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading
quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam
straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and
reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所).“I suddenly have to go
into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer
was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
49. When his wife left home. Brad expected to
.
A. go out for a walk in the park
B. watch TV talk show with his children
C. enjoy his first day off work
D. read the newspaper to his children
50. Which of the following did Randy do?
A. Drawing on the wall
B. Eating apple jam
C. Feeding the fish.
D. Reading in a room
51.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?
A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.
B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office
C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.
D. Because he had to take his wife back
52. This text is developed
.
A. by space
B. by comparison
C. by process
D. by time
C
Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future
risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems
more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an
increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead
to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one
review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants
(污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than
those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好)
quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34%
within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy
people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high
blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone
is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by
the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become
necessary to protect public health.
53. The text mainly discusses the relationship between
.
A. heart problems and air quality
B. heart problems and exercising
C. heart problems and smoking
D. heart problems and fatty food
54. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means
.
A. relatively high
B. extremely low
C. relatively low
D. extremely high
53. What can we learn from the text?
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,
D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
56. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to
