• 1．It's currently December and Christmas is almost here.And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than sitting down to watch some classic Christmas movies？Listed below are four films that will make you laugh，cry or both this festive season.
     The Grinch（2000）
     This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey's best performances.It was also originally a children's book written by Dr Seuss，which I would recommend reading!It's the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas，but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity.I promise it's a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.
     Love Actually（2003）
     While this is not a personal favourite of mine，people in the UK absolutely love this film.It has a number of stars，featuring actors and actresses such as Hugh Grant，Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman.It might be a little difficult to follow as there are lots of different sub-plots，so I recommend watching a dubbed version（配音版）in your native language.
     Home Alone（1990）
     This film is one of my favourite films of all time and I would watch it all year round if I could.It tells the story of a boy，Kevin，who is left alone in his house when his large family forget to take him on vacation with them.While the family are away，burglars（小偷）try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps.The trips，falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year old boy outsmart two grown men.
     Miracle on 34th Street（1994）
     You can't have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this film.It's not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch，but it is incredibly touching.It's about a man who claims to be Santa，but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.

• 2．We've all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us maintain our health.A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer，among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
     The research which followed almost 1000 patients with Lynch syndrome-a genetic condition that makes people predisposed to orange of cancers found that a regular intake of resistant starch（抗酶解淀粉）could have a major preventative effect on the risk of cancer.Here's what you need to know about how eating bananas can help reduce risk of cancer.
     Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate（碳水化合物）which feeds beneficial gut bacteria.It is found in green bananas.By eating green bananas your body gets a regular dose of resistant starch，which has been found to reduce risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than half，according to the new research.The study，which was published in Cancer Prevention Research，was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds.It found that resistant starch，if taken regularly for an average of two years，had a positive effect on some cancers，which can be difficult to detect.
     John Mather，a professor at Newcastle University explained："Resistant starch acts in effect，like dietary fibre in your digestive system.This type of starch has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch."
     Besides green bananas，resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas，oats，cereal，beans and other starchy foods.You can also take resistant starch as a powder supplement.
     In terms of bananas，experts recommend that eating one banana daily is the equivalent of one dose of resistant starch.The trick is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft.
  
  （1）Which of the following can prevent the risk of cancer？

  
  A．Carbohydrate.
  B．resistant starch.
  C．dietary fibre.
  D．gut bacteria.
  （2）What did the new research find？

  
  A．Eating green bananas regularly could serve as a power supplement.
  B．Eating green bananas regularly could reduce risk of cancers.
  C．Eating bananas regularly could improve life expectancy.
  D．Green bananas would have fewer calories.
  （3）What aspect does John Mather' s research probably focus on？

  
  A．human nutrition.
  B．plants formation.
  C．herbal medicine.
  D．weight control.
  （4）According to the text what would the experts suggest people do？

  
  A．Take more green bananas.
  B．Reduce calories and dietary fibre.
  C．Keep regular intake of resistant starch.
  D．Detect hidden cancers earlier.

• 8．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
      Jenny and Lisa are close friends.They're studying in high school now.
      One day about half a year ago，Jenny found that Lisa was chatting on her cellphone.Jenny was surprised as she didn't know Lisa had gone downtown to buy a cellphone.So Jenny asked her， "When did you get your cellphone？"
      "I bought it yesterday.Look!How lovely it looks!" said Lisa.
      Jenny looked at the cellphone，which looked really lovely.Jenny wished she also could have such a cellphone.
      That day，after Jenny came back home，she saw her father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.Jenny approached him and said， "Dad，could I have a cellphone？Many of my classmates have their own cellphones now."
      "Of course，you can have one，" said Jenny's father.
      "Thank you，Dad，" Jenny said happily.Then she asked， "When shall we go downtown to buy one？"
      The father looked up hearing that.Then he said， "Oh，no，dear!I'm not going to buy you a cellphone.If you really want one，you should make money to buy one yourself."
      Jenny immediately became upset.But she knew her father was serious.She walked away and went to her own room.
      The following day，Jenny went to school as usual.Lisa came to her and asked why she was wearing a long face that day.Jenny said， "I asked my dad to buy a cellphone for me，but he said I should work for one myself." But Lisa didn't seem to be surprised at all，and she said， "Don't get surprised，because that's how I bought my own cellphone."
      Hearing that，Jenny remembered Lisa once told her she was helping look after the Smiths' one-year-old son in the past summer.Now she knew why she worked part-time that summer.Lisa wanted a new cellphone and she worked to make money for it.
      That day after Jenny came back home from school，she went to her father.She was no longer upset.She told her father that she had decided to find a job to make money. "Good，" said her father.Jenny started to look for part-time work on the Internet.Lucky for her，some families in the neighborhood were looking for part-time workers.One old couple needed someone to cut the grass.A young couple needed someone to look after their baby.Jenny called the families and she was offered the jobs.
