On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents,we visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native（当地的）to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there，including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles（鳄鱼）.They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages.
We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them.There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly（令人想拥抱的）. Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species they had. I saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.
I enjoyed the trip very much.There was so much to see.

If you’ve ever wondered who decides what sports to be included or left out at the Olympic Games, you’re probably not the only one, because the processes are a little complex and confusing.
It falls to the Executive Board of International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) to suggest which sports will be included and the rest of the IOC then votes according to a long list of standards: How much value the sport would add to the Olympic legacy (遗产); How long the sport has existed; How popular the sport is in the host country; How much it would cost to broadcast the events, and many other things.
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games saw the inclusion of skateboarding, surfboarding, sport climbing and karate, all of which were selected by the IOC for the first time ever.
So, what contributes to sport being left out Having to limit the Games to a certain number of athletes, as well as scheduling needs can lead to some sports being left off the program, especially if they fall short of the above standards.
There’s perhaps no better example of this than softball and baseball. While both are included at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, it’s the first time they were included at Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The IOC voted them out from London 2012 Olympic Games. Officials said that neither sport had global attraction.
But it’s not just the IOC that has the say. The host city can also play a role in the decision, and push for a particular sport for the year that it is hosting. For a real-world example, look no further than the 2024 Games to be held in Paris, which will see the inclusion of breakdancing as an Olympic sport for the first time.
8. What does the second paragraph focus on
A．The voting process. B．The advantages of IOC．
C．The costs of the Games. D．The selecting standards.
9. Which was added to Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games for the first time
A．Baseball. B．Breakdancing. C．Skateboarding. D．Softball.
10. Why was baseball left out at London 2012 Olympic Games
A．It had too many players. B．It had a short history.
C．It was difficult to broadcast. D．It was not popular enough.
11. Who is most unlikely to have a say in selecting the Olympic sports
A．The athletes. B．The Executive Board of IOC．
C．The host cities. D．International Olympic Committee.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume（消耗） rich food, continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to（往往，倾向于） stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed（挤出） between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of（尽管） all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject（拒绝） older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.
12. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola
A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.
D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
13. This text is mainly the relationship between .
A．Americans and the French
B．life style and obesity
C．children and adults
D．fast food and overweight
14. The text is mainly developed .
A．by contrast B．by space C．by process D．by classification
15. Where does this text probably come from
A．A TV interview B．A food advertisement
C．A health report D．A book review

Scientists and spiritual teachers alike agree that the simple act of smiling can transform you and the world around you. It can make us appear more attractive to others. 16 So before you read on, slap a nice, genuine smile on that face of yours.
How Smiling Affects Your Brain
The act of smiling activates neural messaging that benefits your health and happiness. For starters, smiling activates the release of neuropeptides (神经肽) that work toward fighting off stress. The feel-good neurotransmitters (神经介质) are all released when a smile flashes across your face as well. 17
How Smiling Affects Your Body
You’re actually better-looking when you smile. A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia reported that seeing an attractive, smiling face activates the region in your brain that processes sensory rewards. 18 It also explains the 2011 findings by researchers at the Face Research Laboratory. They found that both men and women were more attracted to images of people who made eye contact and smiled than those who did not.
19
Did you know that your smile is actually contagious (传染性的) In a Swedish study, subjects were shown pictures of several emotions: joy, anger and surprise. When the picture of someone smiling was presented, the researchers asked the subjects to frown. Instead, they found that the facial expressions went directly to what subjects saw. 20 If they don’t, they’re making a conscious effort not to.
A．How Smiling Affects Those Around You
B．Each time you smile, you throw a little feel-good party in your brain.
C．So if you’re smiling at someone, it’s likely they can’t help but smile back.
D．And it can even lengthen our lives.
E．How Smiling Affects Your Facial Expressions
F．They not only relax your body, but also lower your heart rate and blood pressure.
G．This suggests that when you view a person smiling, you actually feel rewarded.

Do you do flexibility training as part of your daily workout Do you do any stretching exercises on a regular basis If you are trying to lose weight, you should. Flexibility exercises are not big calorie burners, but they play an important role in a weight loss program.
The best thing about flexibility training is that you don't have to do it very often to enjoy the benefits. Just a few minutes of stretching each day will help to improve the range of motion in your joints, decrease the risk of injury during exercise and reduce stress.
So what flexibility exercises should you do You can do simple stretches when you get out of bed each morning. This will help to loosen up your joints and start your day with healthy movement. There are also some great stretches that you can do at your desk while you are at work. You can also take a yoga class to lose weight or learn the practice of t'ai chi to improve your health.
Even though you won't burn many calories during a short stretching session, your body functions better when your joints move more comfortably. This can boost your weight loss program in several different ways.
Flexibility exercises help to get your blood pumping, but not in a way that increases your adrenalin（肾上腺素）. Stretching and breathing exercises help to improve your mood and lower your stress level. This may be especially helpful for dieters who are trying to curb emotional eating. If you can replace the trip to the refrigerator with 5 minutes of healthy stretching, you're likely to eat less and slim down faster.
Aerobic（有氧的）activity and strength training for weight loss are more effective when you perform each exercise fully. Stretching helps keep your body in top shape so that you burn more calories during your workouts and you spend less time recovering from injuries or soreness.
Flexibility training alone won't burn enough calories to make a big difference in your daily energy balance. But when you pair stretching exercises with a complete workout program, you'll benefit from a healthier body and improve your chances of weight loss.

A Visit to Hunan Museum
During the winter holiday, our class visited the Hunan Museum.
We gathered at the school gate at 9 a.m., and then took a bus to the museum, where we saw a rich collection of cultural relics, with Ma Wangdui Han tomb relics, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Chu relics, ceramics, paintings and calligraphy, modern cultural relics and so on. We surely visited the body of Mrs. Xinzhui. After more than two thousand years, the body had not decomposed, which surprised us all. We were all amazed at the ancient objects displayed in the museum and deeply impressed by the vivid description.
The visit was a great success. Not only did it help us learn more about China, but it also helped broaden our horizons.
One possible version:
The passage mainly talks about the flexibility training's time-saving advantage and introduces some ways to do flexibility exercises, such as stretching, yoga and tai chi. Although flexibility training alone can't consume enough calories to lose weight, it can improve your mood and lower your stress level, which can help limit your emotional eating. Besides, it can keep your body in top shape, which helps you burn more calories during your workouts.
