     However，she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt.On one recent day，Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry."I had a total emotional breakdown.I was like，'T just can't do this.'" she said.
     Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following.As she nears the end of her goal，Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others.She tells people，"You're stronger than you think and you're able to do so much more."

• 7．Knowing how to read，write and talk in one language is enough for many people.They prefer to focus their energy on other things that improve their lives.Scientists，however，continue to confirm that bilingualism，the ability to speak two languages fluently，has more benefits than many realize.
     First，it's good for a child's brain.Learning a second language improves their academic achievements.Many studies have shown that children who learn a foreign language get better grades at school.Bilingual children also display a better facility in their native language.Their grammar，vocabulary and spelling skills are stronger than those of single-language speakers.Children who learn a second language become expert problem-solvers and creative thinkers.That's because their brains are constantly working to sort out which language to speak and when.Studies further show that bilingual teens are better at multitasking.
     Multilingual parents understand the benefits of learning more than one language.Ben Mazor of Montreal speaks English，French and Hebrew.He says，"Kids' brains are like a sponge（海绵）.They absorb everything.It comes to them so easily while they're young.So why not give them the chance to learn another language？"
     A number of studies show that bilingualism is valuable to the brain later in life.Scottish researchers did a study using data from 835 native English speakers，who took an 1 Q test at the age of 11.They were tested again in their 70s.Researchers then compared the tests.Those who spoke two or more languages had obviously better cognitive（认知的）abilities.Dr.Thomas Baka，co-author of the study，concluded，"Our results suggest a protective effect of bilingualism against age-related cognitive decline."
     So，who would refuse the benefits of learning a second language？
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "facility" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Ability.
  B．Interest.
  C．Taste.
  D．Method.
  （2）According to paragraph 3，what may parents like Ben Mazor do？

  
  A．Learn foreign languages by themselves.
  B．Spend more money on home schooling.
  C．Involve kids in foreign language courses.
  D．Help kids absorb knowledge like a sponge.
  （3）What has the Scottish researchers proved about bilingualism？

  
  A．It extends one's life
  B．It improves test scores.
  C．It cures brain disorders.
  D．It slows mental ageing.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Learning Betters Human Brain.
  B．Bilingualism Shows Great Advantages.
  C．Language Opens a New World to Kids.
  D．Bilingualism Leads to Academic Success.

• 8．Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health.Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.But is juicing really as healthy as we think？
      A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice.
     All fruits contain sugars and don't seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to excess（过量的）daily calories.This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit's cells.It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.
     This is not the case with fruit juice.Different from whole fruit，the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as "free sugars"，just like honey and added sugars.With the fiber removed，fruit juice's sugar is absorbed more quickly.A sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas（胰腺）to release insulin（胰岛素）to bring it back down to a normal level.Over time，this system can wear out，increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes（糖尿病）.
     In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected between 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes.They've concluded that even when fruit juice is similar in the nutritional content to whole fruit，fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids.
     "Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，" said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia."It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50 ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix"
  
  （1）What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity？

  
  A．Experts' recommendation.
  B．Its obvious medical effects.
  C．Its assumed benefits to health.
  D．People's improved life quality.
  （2）Why is whole fruit healthier？

  
  A．It provides better nutrition.
  B．Its fiber slows sugar absorption.
  C．It protects our digestive system.
  D．Its fiber helps remove extra sugar.
  （3）Ho w did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013？

  
  A．By observing the blood sugar level.
  B．By comparing liquid and solid intake.
  C．By analysing previously collected data.
  D．By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients
  （4）What is Dr.Smith's attitude to fruit juice？

  
  A．Positive.
  B．Negative.
  C．Objective.
  D．Unclear.

• 10．Many people think of sharks as dangerous monsters.But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us.Although shark attacks do occur，they are quite rare.According to one estimate，however，humans kill 100 million sharks every year.（1）

  
     Why should we save the sharks？
     Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean.As sharks die off，the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase.This，in turn，means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop.（2）

  Fish that eat algae（藻类）are also included.This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.
     （3）

  The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined，but also removes half of the man-made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.Once sharks die off，the global ecosystem will be upset，affecting all creatures including human beings.
     Don't use shark products
     First，vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts.（4）

  In addition，shark meat is sold around the world，sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or white fish.
     Shark fin soup is a popular dish.However，the process of getting fins is cruel.Fishermen cut the shark's fins off and then throw the shark back into the water，still alive.（5）

  Sharks breathe by swimming，so ả shark that can't swim will die.
  
  A.It is time for children to learn about sharks.
  B.Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products.
  C.Then the shark dies slowly，sometimes over several days.
  D.Actually，the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet.
  E.People in some countries are especially keen on shark products.
  F.Among them are some sea fish that humans consume every day.
  G.This number is a warning that many kinds of sharks may die out.
