If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.33Build up your vocabulary, you'll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.Take responsibility for your own learning.If you do not want to learn the language, you won't. 34 Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.35Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or can't yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving.

The participants who caught arteriosclerosis could not clear up the negative effects of sitting by exercising.___18___, that doesn't reduce the bad effects of a sedentary (坐的)lifestyle，" said Isabel Ferreira，a professor at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, the Daily Mail reports.___19___ However, viewers can simply be active and limit their time spent sitting in front of the TV or computer every day.___20___ Researchers observed that every single hour of TV viewing may shorten life by as much as 22 minutes, the participants who watched six hours of TV a day were expected to live five years less than a person who didn't watch TV. The American Academy of pediatrics(美国儿科学会)also suggests children and teenagers should not spend more than two hours a day sitting in front of a TV or computer.A.

Ferreira believes that TV watching brings much more bad effects than we can expect【答案】FECGA8Why Is 2020 Called a Leap Year?February 29 comes up on the calendar only every four years. A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.____36____. American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year.In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.___37___.The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth's orbit around the sun exactly.___38___. So every fouryears, we put all that time together into an extra day —or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day."Leap" is also an important word for two other common American expressions.___39___. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, "Look before you leap." The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to "take a leap of faith" means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.___40___. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual.A. One is a kind of warning.B. That's why we called it a Leap YearC. It just leaped right over Wednesday.D. Each year, we have a little time left over.E. You have to wait three years in between birthdays!F. As a verb, the word "leap" means to jump, or to move quickly.G. Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however. 【答案】E C D A G9.Any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, it's hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet.31 If you're not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss.32 When comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. In a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal(武器，装备) of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. 34 For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because it's cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.Twowords: runner's high. 35 Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal level—running can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hardrun. That happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?A. Cultivate the good habit of running.B. Running works even when you're at rest.C. You will never stick to a habit if you don't like it.D. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick with it.E. You don't need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.F. If you're already a runner, keep on.G. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.答案：FBGED10Friendly people are welcoming. When you are friendly, you make other people feel good about themselves and you also feel more confident about yourself. 31 Being friendly doesn't have to mean changing who you are but doing little things to make others comfortable.___32__ If you are not friendly, you might feel embarrassed when you first try to be more welcoming with others. One way to learn to be friendly is to think of an outgoing person and copy his/her postures(姿势),words and behavior.Be kind to strangers. An easy way to be friendly is to offer a smile to people you might normally ignore. Every day there are opportunities to be friendly with strangers. ___33___.Try to accept others.___34__If someone new tries to chat with you, make an effort to contribute to the conversation instead of giving one-wordanswers. In a group, look out for one who doesn't seem to know anyone and try to accept him/her into the group.Stay in touch. Sometimes we neglect(忽视) to be friendly with those we know the best--- our close friends and family. ___35__Therefore, you can send a warm email too let your mother know that you are thinking about her.A. Observe friendliness in others.B. Smile and remember everyone's name.C. They may want to hang out, but be too shy to ask.D. So friendliness is a win-win no matter how you look at it.E. Don't pass up the chance to be warm and make others comfortable.F. Actually, offering friendliness and warmth to them is also very important.G. Making new people you meet feel accepted forms a large part of being friendly.答案：DAEGF。

A s soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers.

These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything if the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. ________ Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.________ How do you build trust?

Generally, the party needs at least six participants, and' the larger the group: is, the more entertaining the game will be________But it can result in heated competitions between players trying to get the gifts.________Sometimes, the rule is that the item must be previously owned, which means that you can exchange an unwanted item or trinket(小装饰品) with your friends. But sometimes you can buy a new but inexpensive item just for the party.Every participant is expected to bring one wrapped(包装好的) gift. A white elephant gift is usually something useless or inconvenient________ Guests are asked to wrap them nicely and leave no identifying markings on the presents.To start the game, a participant must act as the first player to choose a gift; this can be decided randomly or by picking numbers out of a hat________As for the next player?

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1. The main idea of the passage is about ____.A. the Queen’s favorite foodB. the Queen’s tours abroadC. how the Queen keeps her diet during her toursD. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader2. The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.A. to show her politenessB. not to eat muchC. to show her great interest in foodD. to hide her dislike to the food3. We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.A. she has to meet with so many important leadersB. she has to eat much oily foodC. she has so many reporters to travel with herD. hosts always present wonderful state banquets4. What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinnersA. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.B. Drinking Malvern water.C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.D. Eating much without being noticed.【答案与解析】1. C解析：文章谈到了食品以及女王的“tours”，但主旨是女王如何“keep her diet”。

专项练习一For over one hun dred and fifty years, America ns of all social classes have worn blue jeans. Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today . Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among America ns but also among people around the world .Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829 . 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving toNew York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods bus in ess . This gave him a cha nee to produce his famous invention . After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes .Strauss did not want to be a pers on who searched an area for min erals . In stead, he knew he could make a good livi ng by sell ing supplies to the miners . At first, he pla nned to sell sew ing supplies and cloth . 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily brokenor they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners . These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more .In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor n amed Jacob Davis who had inven ted a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets （铆钉）. This made the pants last a long time . Because Davis did not have the money to pate nt his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the pate nt . 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion .5__ The bus in ess has bee n grow ing ever since and Levi Strauss' compa ny is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world .A .

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago . 1 The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly . Our bodies have not been able to deal with these cha nges in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sick nesses . 2 So they arecalled "diseases of civilization" . Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scie ntists no ted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is one of the maindifferences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hun ted wild ani mals for their meat, which had much less fat tha n domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits . They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than ourancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scie ntists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the an cie nt people did, cutt ing the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C. In that case, they would live much healthier.D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E . These new sick nesses were not known in ancient times.F . People today probably don't want to live like our an cestors.G .

It will keep kids home from school.1_Employees will sudde nly lose their ability to concen trate.The di sease, known as “ March Madness ” , refers to the yearl^teOm US men '-s college basketball tournament （锦标赛）. 2 Teams compete against each other in a single -elim in ati on （单局淘汰）tour name nt that even tually crow ns a n ati onal champi on.Nearly 20 milli on America ns will find themselves pris oners of basketball festival madn ess. The fun comes partly from guess ing the winners for every game. Frie nds compete aga inst frien ds. 3_Colleagues aga inst bosses.Big - name schools are usually favored to advanee into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little —known uni versities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with30,000, for many America ns, is an excit ing experie nee. Two years ago, the little —known George Mason Un iversity was one of the final four teams.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their uni versity andthemselves. 5 About $ 4 billi on will be spe nt gambli ng （赌）on the eve nt. Accord ing to Media Life magaz ine, the event will bring in $ 500 millio n in advertis ing in come this year, topp ing the post -seas on in come of every US professi on al league, in cludi ng that of the NBA.A.

Many people had n ever eve n heard of the uni versity before the tourn ame nt.专项练习四Every one knows that the Fren chme n are roma ntic, the Italia ns are fashi on able and the Germa ns are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thi ng as n ati onal character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs （企业家）in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile （敌意的）to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy（嫉妒） 1_Jealousy is sometimes known as the eye（gree n ster ” and the UK is its home.Scie ntists at Warwich Uni versity in the UK recen tly tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imagi nary amount of mon ey. 2 Those give n a little were give n the cha nee to destroy the large amount of money give n to others -but at the cost of losi ngtheir own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3_. But there is also opposite evidenee. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world ' s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work Ion ger hours tha n anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“ Itis not really success that the British dislike, s a ys Carey Cooper, a professor of man ageme nt at the Uni versity of Man chester In stitute of Science and Tech no logy. "It people using their success in a way that seems proud or un fair or which separates them from their roots.4 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the en trepre neurs were right to complai n.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, en trepre neurs were“ uni oved, unwan ted and misun derstood.D」t is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.E. Some were give n a little, others a great deal.F. But in stead of being happy they compla in that no body loves them.G. Perhaps it is the en trepre neurs who are the problem.专项练习五1_ When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: cloth ing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of America ns. _ It in cluded such items as automobile sand newhouses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. The n, in the late 1950s a fourth leve l of wants appeared: the -enricH i feg ” level. While the other levels involve physicalsatisfaction —the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body —this level stresses men tal n eeds for recog niti on, achieveme nt and happ in ess. It i ncludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called"luxury ” items. Among them are vacation trips, thebest medical care, and en terta inment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spe nt on goods. Will con sumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their in come in creases, or will they continue to dema nd luxuries and pers onal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would in volve wants that can be achieved best by com mun ity actio n. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignoran ce, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A. Then a third level appeared.B. Human wants seem endless.C. When there is money eno ugh to satisfy one level of wan ts, ano ther level appears.D. There are several levels of wants in one ' s life.E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G. Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don a very good ' t do job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech — and you are terrified.

Between the Zoom meetings, Netflix binges and virtual cocktail hours, increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many.31．But there is good news! Despite all that sed entary time, with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day, you can increase your life span, a recent study has found.32．It's true; past studies, including a popular study from 2016, had originally put the daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits. However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time.

Advice is highly needed on everything from what to pack to how to protect yourself. 36．Don’t take the unfamiliar road. Whil e part of the joy of exploring nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path. Never give in to your curiosity to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas. “ 37．” Warned by Dr. Velimir Petkov.Pack cl othing. In the morning, when you set out on your adventure, your temperature will likely be comfortable. As the sun reaches its highest point, you’ll start to sweat inside your car. 38．That’s why experts reco mmend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.Make sure you get enough sleep. While many people have difficulty sleeping, plenty rest is necessary before a long car ride. “Do not drive while you are f eeling sleepy. 39．” Petkov recommended.

And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is trulyunique. Usually we judge a person from his personal facial features. 61．Governments, empl oyers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technol ogy. 62．Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a cr owd of thousands of people. All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.63．It is convenient, easy to operate and it also relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn’t, for whatever reason, recognize the user’s face.There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. 64．The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing too many.In the age of the coronavirus and the wid espread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty.

This will all ow your teacher to see you as a reliable person who is respectful of their time.Never argue with your teacher. Though you may see some of your classmates being disrespectful (不尊敬的) to your teacher, try very hard not to become one of these people. Your teacher has been hired to guid e your education and to help you learn important knowledge that will be useful to you in life. Respect this and d o not argue with them. 69．Foll ow instructions.

Most of the information we absorb in a typical day is not only forgettable. 72．. Do you really want to remember forever what all the strangers you passed today on the sid ewalk were wearing? So how does your brain know whether something should be put into your l ong-term memory or not? Repeat it over a period of time!73．. If you try to go over it too late, the original memory will be nowhere to be found. Butif you wait only a few minutes to review it, it's too quick for you to signal your brain to put it into long-term memory.74．. Flashcards, whether they're physical or virtual, are a great way to do memory practice because they help space out attempts to remember, and you can come back to them easily periodically(周期性地).But you have to foll ow certain rules in order to make better use of the flashcards. The No.1 rule is that you need to guess the answer before l ooking at the card. Even if you think it is hopeless for you to remember, try.75．.Wait l ong enough between practice sessions. You have to make it a struggle to remember.A．Actually, it should be quickly forgottenB．The second rule is that you need to make it hardC．Used in the right way, flashcards can be of great helpD．Therefore, repetition is very important for l ong-term memoryE.But once or twice you try to drive there and you'll know the road by heartF.Burning an idea into memory by going over it again and again in a single sessionG.The key for repetition is that you can neither wait too long nor try to review it too fastUseful Memory StrategiesForm associations between new and remembered information. If you can link new ideas with previously established ones, then you can increase the chance that new memories will be formed. Try coming up with a familiar picture, song, joke, or rhyme that you can associate with the new material. 76．Repeat new facts as soon as you come across them. It may be boring, but simply repeating new information over and over in different ways will help it stick in your brain better, especially if you space out the repetition over time.77．Then speak the d efinition out loud a coupl e times, and try writing it down once or twice.Teach someone else the information you’re trying to learn. 78．Find a classmate orco-worker who needs to l earn the same information, form a study group, and take turns teaching each other different concepts. Alternately, ask your friends if they’re willing to learn。

2021届高考阅读七选五训练阅读七选五1Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question："Should I jump？" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. (1) Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.(2) More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. (3) So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity （清晰）of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. (4) They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough. (5) You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A．This can affect your work.B．So how should you motivate yourself？C．However, this should not discourage you.D．So why should we try to set specific goals？E．They can change according to circumstances.F．Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G．Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. (1) So challenge the following limits:①Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. (2) But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"② (3)Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. So some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.③Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.(4) A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.④Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. (5)A. You should do it continuously.B. You don't need to go to the gym.C.

You donˈt want to alienate (疏远) yourself from the group because youˈre not in agreement. So you agree to othersˈ requests.●Fear of conflict.(4) This might lead to an ugly confrontation (面对). Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future.● (5) Perhaps you are worried saying “no” means closing doors. For example, one of my friends’ wives was asked to work in another department in her company. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion chances in the future.A. Wanting to help others.B. Fear of losing chances.C. Wanting to keep a good relationship.D. I slowly realized I needed to learn to say “no”.E. You are afraid the person might be angry if you refuse him/her.F. It means not making others look bad or lose face.G.

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.36Go to the original source .Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.37Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does no t mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.38 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to betrue, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertiseme nts.39 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).40 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A. Make choices that are right for you.B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.D. And examine the findings of the original research.E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.参考答案：36-40 GDFBAEveryone loves travelling, right?
