单选题{{B}}TEXT C{{/B}} If you're worried about your weight, healthy eating and exercising may help ease your worries. 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!

单选题Remember the Stone Age days of research back in elementary school and middle school? We would spend countless hours digesting the information we could find on index cards. Do you recall using those ancient computers that ran with the Gopher program or some generic database whose name connoted a marmot that could take half an hour to find Moby Dick? Well, all I have to say can be summed up in five words: Thank God For The Internet! Screw going to the library! I have access to dozens of databases, journals, and collections of literature fight at my fingertips. I can complete all of my research at home and no longer must run amok in the library, stressing out while trying to find Shakespeare's The Tempest or some other book, all the while trying to block out the noisy study groups who have forgotten what the "silence policy of libraries" means. If you recall the flood epidemic that hit Colorado State University just a couple summers ago, that natural disaster wreaked havoc all over campus. A large portion of journals and texts were located in our libraries' basement which completely filled up with about 10 feet of rain water in a matter of hours. The Lory Student Center's basement was also flooded and that was where the university bookstore was located. This forced almost every professor to order new textbooks and that really put a dent in our wallets. Many students here, myself included, still have to face the disappointment of searching for a particular book or journal for a last minute paper, only to find out that the certain item was a casualty of the flood. Thanks to the Internet, the university implemented the Inter-Library Loan system. Several universities around Colorado have generously aided us in our research endeavors by loaning any resource we need for at least two to three weeks. All we have to do is type in a request and five other university libraries automatically search for that information. Without this program, I may have failed several papers and projects. I would have had to spend my nights running from public library to public library around the state just to find a certain article or novel. The World Wide Web has also given us the capability to order any textbook at a much lower price than the university bookstores charge. Hey, we're all college students and we're usually broke, so anytime we can find a deal or discount that will save us a few bucks, we will gladly take it. And last but not least, for those of us who are constantly homesick, have a special someone far away or still want to keep in touch with pals, we have e-mail. Like .most of you, I moved away from home to go to school and my high school friends spread out across the globe. Instead of wasting money on stationery and en- velopes and stamps (which seem to increase in price about every year), I can chat with everyone through the Internet. Plus, scanning has allowed us to send pictures to our sweethearts, friends, and family who have forgot- ten what we look like. So, I'm asking everyone to get on their hands and knees and to pay homage to the tele-communications god, the Internet.

单选题 {{I}} Questions 7 to 10 are based on the following conversation. At the end of the conversation, you will be given 20 seconds to answer the questions. Now, listen to the conversation.{{/I}}

单选题{{B}}TEXT C{{/B}} No one can be a great thinker who docs not realize that as a thinker it is her first duty to follow her intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. Note that it is solely, of chiefly, to form great thinkers that freedom of thinking is required. On the contrary, it is as much or even more indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature which they are capable of. There have been and many again be great individual thinkers in a general atmosphere of mental slavery. But there never has been, nor ever will be, in that atmosphere an intellectually active people. Where any of heterodox speculation was for a time suspended, where there is a tacit convention that principles are not to be disputed: where the discussion of the greatest questions which can occupy humanity is considered to be closed, we cannot hope to find that generally high scale of mental activity which has made some periods of history so remarkable. Never when controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important enough to kindle enthusiasm was the mind of a people stirred up fro9m its foundation and the impulse given which raised even persons of the most ordinary intellect to something of the dignity of thinking beings. She who knows only her own side of the case knows little of that. Her reasons may be food, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if she s equally unable to refute the reasons of the opposite side; if she does not so much as know what they are, she has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for her would be suspension of judgment, and unless she contents herself with that, she is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world the side to which she feels the most inclination. Nor is it enough that she should heat the arguments of adversaries from her own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied hy what they offer as refutations, That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into real contact with her own mind. She must be able to hear them form persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost for them. She must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form; she must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter and d! spose of; else she will never really possess herself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty, Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated persons are in this condition; even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions. Their conclusion may be true, but it might be false for anything they know; they have never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently form them and considered what such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrines which they themselves profess.
