26、The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.

During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turns to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns (号) and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses with dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm (节奏) of their dance.

The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares (野兔). The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.

Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horse back. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles (马鞍). Some even ride upside down — their legs and feet straight up in the air — all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. So fast and so wonderful!

27、Eat less and exercise more-it has long been a magic word for reducing extra weight. But now it seems that all the hard work may have been useless.

Scientists say there are other reasons why people just keep getting bigger. They say that sleeping habits, central heating, medicines and even some pollutants can play a role in weight gain.

Traditionally, people have focused on diet and exercise to solve the problem. However, the scientists from top US and Canadian universities say that other things must be considered.

Less sleep could be partly the reason. In recent years, the average night's sleep has dropped from nine hours to just seven. Sleep shortage changes levels of the hormones that control food intake and body fat and increases hunger and appetite.

If it is too hot or too cold, we burn calories to cool down or heat up. But if the temperature is just right, the calories may be turned into body fat instead.

Those who take medicine to control their blood pressure can often put on weight. Similarly, studies have shown that going on taking the pill can add to a woman's weight.

The nature of a mother may also be the reason with our body shape partly inherited. The overweight are also more likely to look for partners of a similar size. And their children are more likely to be overweight.

The use of pollutants is on the rise, say the researchers. Some man-made chemicals and plastics can lead to weight gain.

Your mother's age and your weight at birth are also important, with older women more likely to have overweight children and underweight babies having a bigger chance of being overweight in later life.

We tend to put on weight as we get older. Giving up smoking can also help pile on the pounds. The scientists from Yale, Cornell and Johns Hopkins University said there was some evidence supporting poor diet and lack of exercise as the main causes of gaining weight.

【1】Which is commonly thought to be effective in losing weight?

A．To keep away from pollutants.

B．To take pills and avoid fatty food.

C．To sleep less to burn more calories.

D．To have less food and take more exercise.

【2】Which of the following statements would the author agree to?

A．Less sleep leads you to take in more food.

B．Unpleasant weather helps you to put on weight.

C．Overweight parents are not likely to have fat children.

D．Medicine for blood pressure helps you lose weight.

【3】What's the main idea of the passage?

A．Some reasons are given why people put on weight.

B．“Eating less and exercise more" is proved out of date.

C．Age plays a key role in people's getting bigger.

D．The public should find new solutions to weight problems.

28、   It's not easy to grow up. Actually, it's far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!

Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.

As a young girl my parents forced me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They've always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.

Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.

The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps（凸块）on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!

A.life is full of joy B.life is easy for us

A.make it easy for you to do something B.make it difficult for you to do something

C.make you happy D.make you full of energy

【3】When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to _____________.

A.take music lessons B.turn gains into pains

C.look back on hardships D.live a successful life by suffering a lot

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.

B.We all have to experience growing pains.

C.Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.

D.Life without fear is a better choice for us.

29、After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles(肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep tell us that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This period of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you can’t fall asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!

Health Workers Aim to Save Lives of Mothers, Babies with Smartphone Data

A new project in India and Uganda is aimed at helping health workers save the lives of mothers and babies with information from electronic devices.

The $100 million project is 【1】 by the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and other groups. Officials plan to 【2】 the project to a total of 10 countries. The goal is to 【3】 the premature deaths of 6 million women and children by 2030.

Raj Shah is president of the Rockefeller Foundation, which leads the project. The group is providing $60 million of the $100 million 【4】 cost. Shah said the plan is to give health workers low-cost tools to help them gather the information they need to help communities and families most at risk.

The project will provide 【5】 such as real-time risk maps to help health workers reach mothers and children. Workers also will be able to study non-health data on climate or social media patterns to predict and prepare for local disease 【6】 or health emergencies.

Shah told Reuters, "A few years ago, these community health workers had no real technology ... today the vast majority of them have smartphones with data and software technologies in their hands --- and with those, we can help them do their work better."

A U.N. report published last week 【7】 that more women and newborn babies survive now than ever before. But the report said that a baby or a 【8】 woman still dies every 11 seconds somewhere in the world.

Deaths of mothers are nearly 50 times higher for women in sub-Saharan Africa than in 【9】 countries. The report also found that babies in Sub-Saharan Africa are 10 times more 【10】 to die in their first month of life.
