money to pay for it. In the US, there is a program called Healthy Families. This program offers people health insurance at a low cost.

Families are charged about $7.00 a month for every child, and $10.00 for every adult. It costs much less than any other kind of health insurance. Having health insurance is very important. With this insurance, people can see a doctor when they are sick or hurt.

The program is not expensive at all, but many people are still not enrolling (登记) in it. People say that it still costs too much money. They need all of their money to pay for things like food and rent.

It would be great if everyone could have health insurance. People are working hard to come up with ways to make this happen. One idea is to make the Healthy Families Program free for some people.

It is important for people to see a doctor when they need to. The Healthy Families Program makes it possible for more people to do this. Many ideas are being considered. Hopefully some of them will allow even more families to get health insurance.

The Healthy Families Program is made to help those who don’t have welfare (社会保障金) and cannot earn enough to pay for private health insurance. It is an important program, but officials say that too many people are signing up for it and then dropping out (退出) because of the Healthy Families Program’s cost. 24．The aim of the Healthy Families Program is to ____________. A．make it free for people to see a doctor B．help more families get health insurance

C．help families pay for private health insurance D．help people earn more and pay for the program

25．If a couple have two children, how much would health insurance cost every month? A．$34. B．$40. C．$28. D．$24. 26．Why is it very important for people to have health insurance? A．They can get special medical care. B．They can see a doctor free of charge.

Using a mobile phone before going to bed can damage your health, according to a major study.

It says that radiation from the mobile phone can cause insomnia（失眠症）and headaches as well as cutting the time spent in deep sleep. Failing to get enough sleep can lead to depression, lack of concentration and personality changes. In teenagers and young children, lack of sleep can result in attention disorders and poor grades.

The research showed that using mobile phones before bed causes people to take longer to reach the deeper stages of sleep and to spend less time in them.

Deep sleep is important as it is the time when the body rejuvenates（更新）cells and repairs damage suffered during the day. Scientists found that using mobile phones an hour before sleep affects it. In the study scientists examined the sleep patterns of 36 women and 35 men aged 18 to 45. Some were exposed to radiation that is similar to what a person receives when using a mobile phone. The others received none. The results are as follows: The first group took longer to enter the first

of the deeper stages of sleep and spent less time in the deepest one. However, the second group was opposite.

The findings will shock many parents. Many parents are always worried about their children’s health. But they didn’t have a better way to persuade them not to use a mobile phone.

28．The passage mainly tells us that ________. A．long sleep can renew cells

B．deep sleep is good for your health

C．different people have different sleep patterns

D．using a mobile phone before sleep can damage your health 29．The underlined word “ it” refers to ________.

A．people’s body B．deep sleep C．a sleep pattern D．a day 30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．The findings shocked many teachers and teenagers.

B．The study examined the sleep patterns of about 70 people.

C．Deep sleep is a good time for the body to repair damage suffered during the day D．Using mobile phones before bed causes people to take longer time to enter the deep sleep.

31．We can infer from the passage that _________. A．many children use mobile phones before sleep

B．the lack of sleep can lead to children’s excitement C．using a mobile phone before sleep doesn’t harm the aged D．radiation from the mobile phone can cause parents’ worries

Cooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviors，according to a recent review. And, although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programs，the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.

This research comes at a time when childhood obesity（肥胖） rates have been rising rapidly. More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012, according to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study.

Cooking education programs, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the program, kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents, the review explained.

The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits.

The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in（参与)）their children's eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.

If you’ve ever tried to have a regular movie night with your family, you know that choosing a movie everyone will like can be a difficult task. The kids may be interested in the latest cartoons, while Mom would prefer a love story, and Dad has his eye on something on war. 36．Just when it seems like most are happy with the selection, one member of the family may disagree, and then the whole process starts all over again.

In these situations, you can try the “pick system ”, which works well for some families. The pick system is surprisingly simple and useful. It works like this: each member of the family gets one pick.37． The only rule is that, if it isn’t your pick, you must sit through the movie that is showing, without expressing strong dissatisfaction. 38． And you know that the rest of the family will have to watch it with you.

39． However, it is a proven method that avoids all the arguing (争论). If you have kids, it’ll teach them a lesson in consideration and patience. Using the pick system, you’ll find that your kids will start choosing movies that they think will be crowd-pleasers. The reason why this happens is very simple. Imagine it’s your pick, and you choose a movie everyone in the family ends up loving. 40．These words of praise are powerful positive reinforcements (强化) — it feels great when the people we love tell us that we did a good job. A．The system may sound a bit silly.

B．One member of the family gets to choose the movie.

C．They’ll praise you for having made such a great choice. D．In other words, everyone takes turns to choose the movie.

E．Then, the family may spend time arguing about which movie to watch.

F．When it’s your pick, you have the right to choose whatever movie you want. G．If that system doesn’t work, the family may give up on movie night altogether

I’m glad to know that you will come to visit China in the coming winter holiday. I sincerely invite you to pay a visit to my house and it’s my pleasure to travel with you if necessary.

Because of the cold weather during winter vacation, here are some tips for you to pay attention before you come to China. First, warm clothes and anti-slip shoes must be taken, for I am afraid the temperature will be lower at that time and the snow is drawing near. Second, you can search the Internet for the places of interest where you prefer to go. Last but not the least, let me know your cellphone number so that I can keep in touch with you on your way to China.

I am forward to your reply.

Yours, Li Hua
