1．I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job．I also think my work is important．There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career．
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork．In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer．I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career．
I then found myself a job-looking after two little girls．It wasn't too bad at first．But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening．We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she'd give me time off the next．But unfortunately，it didn't often work out．I was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children．
One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with me．I told her about my situation．She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children．I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school．She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful．My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course．I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten．
Now I've got a full-time job there．I shall always be thankful to Megan．I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you aren't top of the class at school．

2．You never played the video dance game？Now such games are used to help lose weight!
Like many other teenage boys，Jones loves sports．But at 5 feet，175 pounds，he found his weight in trouble．His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may be a good football game player by the end of the summer．
Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity．He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet．Now，after two weeks' playing the game，he has lost another 10!
A health study is being done by an insurance company．The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs．"Obesity claims last year cost us 77 million．We have to cut those costs，"said a member of the insurance group．The company provides a game console（游戏主机），a dance mat and software for the six-month，60，000 study．
The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company． It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals．
In West Virginia，43% of the nearly 6，000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted；more than 25% were too fat．"We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America，"said a researcher．
Researchers are now looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game．A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video games in her classes since last fall．She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination （协调能力），and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games．

D．Cut the Cost of Obesity Claims．组卷：4引用：3难度：0.7 -
3．The United States has always been a country of many cultures．Before Europeans came to North America，many groups of Native Americans lived here．Different Native American groups had different cultures．The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland，but immigrants came from all European countries．Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa．Sadly，many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves．Many immigrants come from Latin America too．Today，the United States has people from more cultures than ever．
In the 19th century，people spoke of the United States as a"melting pot．"People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans．They felt that people should assimilate-join American culture．However，not everyone wanted to assimilate completely．Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures，such as foods，customs，and languages．However，their children often forgot their parents'or grandparents'language．But most Americans，even those whose families have been here a long time，can tell the countries their relatives came from．And of course，new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language．
For all of these reasons，melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States．Instead，people now call the United States a"salad bowl．"They say salad bowl because in a salad，you can still see all of the individual parts （lettuce，tomato，and so on），but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another．
（1）Who are not mentioned as immigrants to America？
A．Europeans
B．Asians

（3）Why is a"salad bowl"a better way to call the United States instead of a"melting pot"？
A．Immigrants love to eat salads instead of hot pot
B．Immigrants take pride in their culture and language
C．Immigrants join American culture only partially
D．Immigrants remain independent completely
（4）What would be the best title for the passage？
