填空题 {{B}}Text{{/B}}Glynis Davis: I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone in five months. I felt perfect and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year...but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the old bag of crisps didn't make any difference--but the scales don't lie.Roz Juma: Honestly, I never weigh myself--I've learned to be happy with myself. It appeared ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple; you shouldn't be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I'm meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it.Lesley Godwin: I was extremely happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem--perhaps I didn't relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel world are on you. I feel regretted because I've put on weight again...I find it humiliating and embarrassing.Ros Langford: Before moving in with my husband Steven, I'd always been about 8 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet...I'm really good for a few days, then end up eating the children's leftovers or gorging on chocolate...my weakness. I'd like to be slim, but at present my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.Julia Minifie: I'm a compulsive eater. I can't control my urges and I really love cakes. When I'm slim I feel like a million dollars--and when I'm not I get very depressed. Over the years I'd tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I'd never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again ... Certainly I will face the same problem in the future. Now match each of the women (61-65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] I put on weight after I got married[B] The heavier, the merrier.[C] Facts speak louder than words.[D] I like myself as I am.[E] I'm constantly at war with my weight.[F] Fame doesn't necessarily mean success.[G] I think I'll be slim again.

填空题Paragraph 2

填空题Directions: Read the following five advertisements in which the authors express their ads about, the jackets. For Questions 61 to 65, match each advertisement (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Arlo Blockout $99.99 Features double storm flap at front; adjustable velcro straps on sleeves; hood rolls away into collar. Evaluation as the dropped tail, slightly heavier material and storm flaps show, this is not exclusively a running jacket. That doesn't mean you can't run in it. You can, although you feel and hear it a lot more than the others. The water-proofing is excellent, but it struggled to allow any air circulation on longer runs. But if you intend to do more than run in the jacket, this is the one for you. Fine World $84.99 Features reflective piping on back of shoulders and into on collar; detachable hood; two side pockets. Evaluation Fine World set out with the intent of finding a fully waterproof, breathable material at an affordable price. It has largely achieved that with a coated nylon which is Fairly light, reasonably quiet and certainly keeps out the water. Where it suffers is in its ability to keep you dry inside. The polyester lining was always soaking after every run, especially around the upper body. Fine Form $119.99 Features concealed hood; front and back reflective trim; two side pockets. Evaluation this is a classic, no-frills jacket specifically designed for the running market, It is heavier than some of the other models, but it's certainly the best one to be wearing in the midst of a storm. Due to the weight, you tend to generate more sweat when you're running, which it struggles to clear. It is expensive but well finished throughout. One minor irritant is the hood, which is bulky when rolled away in the collar and would be better detached. High Flyer $49.99 Features reflective piping; half-body lining; two side pockets. Evaluation if you want light and quiet, this is your jacket. The material must be one of the lightest around. It has a soft, cotton-like feel which cuts down on the usual noise of the jacket rubbing against itself. But while water initially beaded and fell off the jacket, in a heavy downpour it can become quite damp inside. However, it did dry out again particularly quickly. If you're worried about price, this is a good option. Storm-trooper $119.99 Features reflective trim on body and sleeves; elasticated Velcro cuffs; thick collar. Evaluation despite its appearance, Storm-trooper's weatherproof material has a soft feel. However, although the large back vents help air circulate, it doesn't keep you perfectly dry inside, and the fleecy collar doesn't help. Nevertheless, everyone who ran in the jacket liked it a lot. In fact, it looked almost too good to go out running in. The one curious thing is the color. Despite the reflective elements, at the back is a strange choice for a winter jacket. Note: There are two extra statement. Statements A. This jacket will give you the greatest protection in bad weather. B. This is the least expensive of the jackets. C. You can remove the hood of this jacket. D. The company that makes this jacket has come up with a new fabric. E. This jacket makes more noise when you run than any other jackets. F. You cannot buy this jacket at the moment. G. This is suitable as a fashion jacket too.

填空题Crispin Caldicott: This government in particular suffers from the belief that the state is more important than the citizen to whom it should serve. So called green taxes will rapidly become corrupted and lost in the mire of revenue collection that has become the only reason for the existence of governments in general. Gary Eagle: Tax this. Tax that. Try encouragement rather than punishment. Or perhaps lead by example. Show us someone else cares and people will follow. Wind farms instead of polluting power stations would be a great place to start. Irfan Raza: The best way is to change peoples thinking about the environment and convince them that the only way things are going to improve is if we change our attitudes and actions. This Green Tax stuff might make us realise and recongnise the importance of it at the moment, but I don"t think it will last as people will soon think it is just another money making proposal by the government. Zulu Phiri: It seems that everytime there is excess of something it is taxed. Taxing won"t stop it. How about we have some original thought for a change instead of seeing how much money can be made from a problem under the guise of "Making the world a better place!" or something to that effect. Bry Barnes: The Treasury have been getting ￡45bn per year from car tax and other taxes on road users for at least the last 10 years and have only re-invested 0.5% of that back into roads and the transport infrastructure. That"s why in the South West, 90% of all roads are still single lane roads. So what makes me think that none of this tax will go anywhere near counteracting the effects of greenhouse gases? It"s just another tax that will hit the poorest hardest. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Money is not the solution to the problem. B. Only money can solve the problem. C. We should use the obverse way to tackle pollution, but not punishment. D. "Green taxes" are not the best way to tackle pollution. E. Little of the "Green taxes" may be used to solve the pollution. F. "Green taxes" can solve the pollution. G. "Green taxes" has simply become legal extortion.

For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.{{/I}}{{B}}Jane Anderson:{{/B}} As a house wife, I have a lot to do at home. I can't play with my kids all the time. I have to go shopping, do cleaning, washing and so on. When the kids are watching TV they are quiet at least, making no trouble or being mischievous. They enjoy watching it and learn a lot from it. They can see the world through TV. They know what a lion in the wild world looks like, not the one they see in a cage in the zoo. They see how the Chinese people work and live when they are too young to travel to China. It's a good thing to have a TV at home.{{B}}Alice Woods:{{/B}} The government has just published a report which suggests that television is partly responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The report stressed in particular the harmful effects of television on children, who are being exposed to increased violence and pornography on television. The TV companies say, "if you don't like it, turn it off." Well, by the time you realize you don't like it, it's too late to turn if off. Any way, most people are passive viewers — they don't care what they watch. The worst problem is the effect on children. They are easily influenced by TV, because they enjoy it; but they are too young to judge what is true or what is false. And so they tend to believe everything they see on TV. In fact, television programs are full of lies. If children believe that the violence and debauchery they see on TV is typical of the world, they will become indifferent to it or worse still, they will copy it.{{B}}Joe Simmonds:{{/B}} If teachers and parents taught their children that violence and crime were exciting, we'd call them irresponsible. But that's exactly what the TV companies are doing all the time. The Government report just shows the tip of the iceberg. The moral level of society is falling. Of course I blame the parents as well as TV. They use television as a cheap babysitter while they are out drinking, gambling, or having fun. Parents don't bother to teach kids what is right and what is wrong these days.{{B}}Philip Regent:{{/B}} We don't make society, we only report it. Our job is to show people's life as it really is. If we broadcast fairy stories and church sermons every night, bow many people would watch? If there is violence in society, we report it and make people be aware of such things at large. We understand Television is a powerful mass media and we try our best to make as many educational programs as possible. Yet TV is also an important way to offer entertainment. We have to give people what they want. It their taste is bad, that's not our fault.{{B}}Nancy Mead:{{/B}} I propose to establish a Television Censorship Board with powers to cancel broadcasting licenses. This Board would look into all complaints which it gets from the public and would judge programs according to a fixed standards. In each case where a program was judged to be violent or pornographic, a heavy fine would be imposed. If any companies commits five such offences in any one year, their license will be cancelled.{{B}} Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements{{/B}}A. For the harm brought to children by TV, not only the TV companies but also the parents are to blame.B. A Television Censorship Board should be established to monitor TV programs.C. TV is a tool to offer both education and entertainment.D. Television is doing harm especially to children.E. I see no harm of TV on childrenF. Some parents use TV as a cheap babysitter.G. We are not responsible for people's bad taste and we have to meet people's need in our programs.

填空题Secret 1 Your mother-in-law loves to help you--in fact, she insists on giving you the benefit of her vast experience. It's much more likely that she feels undervalued in her own life. In my opinion, she wants to help, so let her--but in a way that suits you. Give her a role she can be good at- one you don't mind giving up. For example, if she is determined to interfere in the kitchen and you hate cooking, let her bake cakes to her heart's content. Don't become possessive about roles and tasks you den' t even want, only to score a point. If you choose to allow her to help, you retain control. Ease the tension by simply asking her advice--you don't have to follow it. If she feels involved, she'll feel less compelled to thrust herself on you. Secret 2 Your mother-in-law doesn't call you names. She doesn't interfere and she doesn't offer unwanted advice. In fact, sometimes you wish she did! Your friends say she sounds like a model mother-in-law. But you know better. As she sits there in silence, you sense that she's positively burning with hostility--not least because you took her precious son away from her. If so, your best chance of making friends is to get her to see you as a person in your own right, not just the woman who stole her baby. But if this doesn't work, the golden rule here is: don't try too hard. If you known you've done your best to be friendly, you may have to settle for the fact that you are two different people, and the relationship you've got might be as good as it will ever get. Accept it, don't feel guilty--and don't waste any more time trying to make it perfect. Secret 3 You feel you're worlds apart. Maybe your husband's family is a different class or different race, have a different lifestyle or culture from yours. You and your mother-in-law rarely agree about important issues and she simply doesn't understand where you're coming from. If so, don't feel you have to judge everything by your own standards. Don't assume that your way of doing things is absolutely the right way--you might not want to be exactly like them, but we can all learn something from other people's way of life. You must know that overcoming fundamental differences in attitudes and lifestyles is never easy. Secret 4 If your mother-in-law is openly hostile to you, get this straight. Your are unlikely to change her. But you can change how you respond to her. Next time she's very rude and using offensive language towards you, show her you're no longer prepared to put up with it. That doesn't mean that, after years of saying nothing, you should suddenly scream, How dare you speak to me like that? But you can send a couple of warning shots. Every time it happens, make so abrupt excuse and leave the room, go to the toilet, find something to do in the garden, If that doesn't work, start dealing directly (but calmly) with each criticism as it arises, until she gets the message. Secret 5 Lots of women do have lovely mother-in-law. But even if you get on well, it can take time and effort to build up a really good relationship--after all, you're usually strangers to each ether for a large part of your lives, and then suddenly you become each other's family. If you get on fine at the moment, but would like to be closer, the key is to build a friendship that's between you two, and not dependent on your relationship with your husband. As well as doing things as a family, try to see her separately, too--go shopping with her, or find an interest you both share. Get to know her as a person, not just his morn. And don't forget, there's One subject she'll almost certainly enjoy talking about--and that's the man you married. Ask to see the family album and get her to talk about his childhood. She'll love you for it. Now match each of the Secrets (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. Enjoy the differences if you've got nothing in common.B. Be a little more intimate if she's great.C. Compromise with her if she gets involved.D. Be friendly with her if she interferes.E. Take it easy if she doesn't like you.F. It's how you feel that's important, not how she behaves.G. Be hard on her if she's hostil

填空题Ann Scott: People who leave litter behind them are anti-social. They spoil the beauty of the countryside and create all sorts of inconveniences, and even danger for other people. Broken bottles and rusty cans cause serious injuries especially to children. Old magazines and empty packages help to start fire when fools throw away matches and cigarette butts. Why can't people be more careful? Dropping litter is a disgusting habit. If you don't do it in your oval house to keep it clean and tidy, why should you do it in public places to make them dirty and look ugly? I never drop litter and I don't allow my children to. Unfortunately, most parents these days don't bring their children up properly. It's a mother's duty to teach her children how to behavior and to set a good examples herself.Linda Mitchell: I belong to an anti-litter group. Recently we cleaned up a peach. We collected over 150 tons of garbage. We burned haft of it and we sold the rest to scrap dealers for ＄500. We spent that money on litter cans which we placed at regular intervals along the beach. Every local government ought to do the same thing. The problem of litter reflects a lack of responsibility on all sides. The local government has a duty to solve the problem by making use of collected garbage. The police have a duty to report people who litter public places and the courts have a duty to punish such people. Last but not least, the companies which produce throw-away products should stop using materials which can't be burned or recycled.Fred Hurst: There's not much we can do. There are a thousand square miles of countryside around this town. We cannot afford to supply a million litter cans and empty them regularly. We don't have the money and we don't have the workforce either. Why should the local town council be responsible for litter which is left by holiday visitors? Why should people be more careful not to litter, but rather collect it and put it into their home garbage bin? I do believe that it is more important to educate people to behave themselves than to complain the town council.Ret Giles: As we all know that littering is actually a crime and carries a heavy penalty. But the police are too busy preventing serious crimes to worry about litter problems. If somebody drops a ton of poisonous chemical waste in the forest, we will try to catch him, but we can't arrest anyone who leaves a few empty cans or plastic bags around after a picnic. We are policemen, not babysitters.Albert Greaves: We use to sell drinks in glass bottles and we offered a little money when empty bottles were returned to us, because we could wash them and clean them and use them again. But glass is heavy and breaks easily, and they are expensive, so we changed to plastic. It's a lot more cheaper, light, strong and unbreakable. Of course we don't collect empty bottles because it's cheaper and safer to make new ones. Empty bottles should be thrown in the litter cans, but a few untidy people don't bother. That's nothing to do with us. We are not responsible for their had habits. People should learn to be rid of bad habits and should learn to think not only of themselves but the others as well. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] We are involved in far more serious social problems than littering.[B] What we should do is to teach people not to litter.[C] We can't do anything, as it costs too much to treat the problem of littering.[D] We should not litter and teach our children not to too.[E] Who should be responsible for people's bad habit? At least not us.[F] Lack of responsibility of both the people and government causes the problem of littering.[G] Littering problem is not created by plastic bottles.
