14．Going green seems to be fad（時尚）for a lot of people these days．Whether that is good or bad，we can't really say，but for the tow of us，going green is not a fad but a lifestyle．
  On April22，2011，we decided to go green every single day for an entire year．This meant doing 365different green things，and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things．Rather than recycle and reduce our energy，we had to think of 365different green things to do and this was no easy task．
  With the idea of going green every single day for a year，Our Green Year started．My life and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment．We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps．
  Over the course of Our Green Year，we completely changed our lifestyle．We now shop at organic（有機(jī)的）stores．We consume less meat，choosing green food．We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need．We have given away half of what we owned through websites．Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice，with no chemical cleaners．We make our own butter，enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread．In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished．
  Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year．We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others．We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet．

2．Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．
Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self-conscious（難為情）when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．
Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．
Don't forget the clock-or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．
Downsize the dishes，Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（攝入） jumps by 14percent．And we'll pour about 30percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．

25．The text is especially helpful for those who care aboutB．
A．their home comforts
B．their body shape
C．house buying
D．healthy diets
26．A home environment in blue can help peopleB．
A．digest food better
B．reduce food intake
C．burn more calories
D．regain their appetites
27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？C
A．Eat quickly．
B．Play fast music．
C．Use smaller spoons．
D．Turn down the lights．
28．What can be a suitable title for the test？A
A．Is Your House Making You Fat？
B．Ways of Serving Dinner
C．Effects of Self-Consciousness
D．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？

9．It was a village in India．The people were poor．However，they were not unhappy．After all，their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries．
Then one day．Some visitors from the city arrived．The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs．However，they did not have enough frogs of their own，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place．
This seemed like money for nothing．There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and  they were no use to the villagers．All they had to do was catch them．Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs．Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money．For the first time，the people were able to dream of a better future，But the dream didn't last long．
The change was hardly noticed at first，but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well．More worrying was that the children fell ill more ofen，and，there seeemed to be more insects aroud lately．

Then the peaple realized what was happening．It was the frog．They hadn't been useless．They had been doing an important job---eating insects．Now with so many frogs killed，the insects were
Increasing more rapidly．They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases．
Now，the peaple are still poor．But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs．These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning．

56．from paragraoh I we learn  that  the  villagersC．
A．worked  very  hard  for centuries
B．dreamed of having a better  life
C．were  poor but somewhat content

A the frogs  were easy money
B They  needs money to buy medicine
C they wanted to plwase the visitors
D．the forgs made too much  noise

19．Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things．A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning．Food poisoning is usually not serious，but some types are deadly，The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food．Fever is one of the most common symptoms．
     Certain microorganisms （微生物） cause most types of food poisoning．Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs，meat，vegetables，and many other foods．After entering the body，these tiny living things release （釋放） poisons that make people sick．
      Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning．They are often added to food while it is being grown，processed，or prepaid．For example，many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects．Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops．
      Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people．These includecertain kinds of seafood，grains，nuts，seeds，beans，and mushrooms．
      When people handle food properly，the risk of food poisoning is very small Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures．This means that people should never touch food with ditty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces．Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from gnawing．Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms．People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it．Finally，people should not eat raid mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild．Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans．In addition，some types of fish can be poisonous．

3．The Oscar nominations （提名） will be announced tomorrow morning and despite the Academy's best efforts，it looks like the biggest films of the year will be mostly shut out of competition．Don't expect big nominations for The Avengers，The Dark Knight Rises or The Hunger Games．
Since 2008，the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences （AMPAS） has been playing with the scheme for Best Picture in the hopes of getting more popular films nominated （提名） and increasing audience for the Oscar ceremony which last year was watched by fewer people than watched the Grammy Awards．First they increased the number of nominated films from five to ten．This year，to complicate things，there could be as many as ten nominees or as few as five．In order to qualify for a Best Picture nod，a film has to be the top pick of at least 5% of the Academy voters．
That means there's room for an unknown factor．Our in-house film expert，Mark Hughes，thinks that could be Skyfall or The Hobbit which would ruin the condition of this post．I think  Skyfall has a decent chance of being a spoiler．It has a admirable director in Sam Mendes，it's earned almost universal praise from critics and it's the first Bond movie ever to bring in 1billionattheboxoffice．ButIsuspectwe'regoingtoseeaveryblockbuster（大片）-lightlistofnominations．ThefilmsthataregettingthemostawardareLincoln，LesMiserablesandZeroDarkThirty．WhileLincolnandLesMizaredoingwellattheboxoffice（earning144million and 172millionsofarseparately），theyaren'tnearthetopearnersof2012．ZeroDarkThirtyhasonlybeenplayinginafewtheaters．Itexpandsintowidereleasethisweekend．It'snotnecessarilyabadthingthatbigblockbustersdon'tgetnominated．Filmsthatearnover1billion at the box office don't really need any more publicity or anything else to help increase DVD income．Smaller films，like Zero Dark Thirty，rely on that Oscar boom．Nominations focusing on smaller films is good for the overall Hollywood ecosystem，even if the people running the awards would like to make things interesting a bit．
The awards are scheduled for February 24th on ABC．Seth MacFarlane is this year's host．
