阅读理解健康生活类专练 [材料1] Did you ever hear anyone say, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Do you think that if people eat apples they won’t get sick? Some scientists wanted to find out if this old saying is true. They divided a college class into two groups. The first group ate two apples a day. The second group did not eat any apple. After a few months, they added up all the times the young people got sick. The apple eaters turned out to be healthier than those who hadn’t eaten apples. It seemed to show that an apple day-or two apples-really does keep the doctor away. 1． he best title is ______. A. Growing Apples B. College Classes C. Apples and Health D. A Good Breakfast 2.

Some people don’t need very much sleep. But we all need to dream, scientists say. Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short movies. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old movies. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer. Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dream. Dreams can disappear quickly from memory. Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired. 1.

He does not know what he is doing, but he breathes as well as the oldest and cleverest man in the world. He began to breathe when he was born, and he will not stop until he dies; still he does it without thinking about it. See how long you can hold your breath. In some places men dive in the sea for the pearls. They pick up shells that hold the pearls, and the longer they stay under water, the more pearls they can find. For the reason they hold their breath as long as they possibly can. Yet even these pearl divers can’t go without breathing for a long time. Watch to see how many times a man draws his breath every minutes. Some men breathe fifteen times a minute. An elephant breathes only eight times. It was told that a mouse breathes a hundred and twenty times each time. No one needs to tell us that what we breathe every minutes of every day is air. It is around us everywhere, like wonderful sea that we can not see. 1. Everyone began to breathe ______. A. when he is old B. when he is clever C. when he was born D. when he was a child 2 .

People who use books and pens every day have to be specially careful about the way the light shines on their work. Every house gets its light either from daylight through windows which is the very best to use or from the lamps or electricity; but whichever kind of light it is, the way it slants towards our books or our work is a matter of great importance to the eyes. Take a book, stand with your back toward the window, and try to read. Your shadow falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room. Now turn around and face the window. The page is in the shadow again, while the bright light is in your eyes. Try standing with your right side toward the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow would fall across the page and bother you a little. There is just one other way: stand with your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for reading and for writing, too. Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is always the same. 1. 1. When reading or writing, people should pay special attention to ______. A. the book they are reading B. the paper they are writing on C. the way the light shines on their page D. the kind of light 2. ______ makes much difference to the eyes. A. The daylight through the windows B. The light from the lamps or electricity C. The way the light slants towards our books or our work D. The way a house gets its light 3. It is bad for your eyes when you read a book ______. A. with your back toward the window B. facing the window C. with your right side toward the window D. both A and B 4. Everything is OK for reading and writing when you ______. A. stand with your left side toward the window B. stand with your right side to the window C. sit with your right side to the window D. sit with your back toward the window Key: 1.c 2.c 3.d 4.a [材料5] “Wash every day and you’ll die young, my son!” People often said those words; long ago, of course. Napoleon’s wife had new clothes every month, instead of a bath. (“It’s quicker,” She always said). Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces, but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor: “Soap and water have never touched my body.” (And the doctor answered. “That’s true. I know…”) Why didn’t people wash in those days long age? Well, they did not have water in their house. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground (=wells). Towns people bought it from a water—carrier. Sometimes it was expensive; and soap was always expensive. They drank water, of course; and so they were clean inside. They did not think much about the outside! And this is true; they just did not like a bath. Modern young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then “dress” other women’s hair. That is their job, and they like it. Young hairdressers sometimes wash dirty heads on a busy day! Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours; and that is not a good thing. A young hairdresser’s hands are of ten red and ugly; and she must then go to a doctor. 1. 1. Long ago, people ______.
