三、阅读理解(共 3 道试题,共 30 分。)V 1.
John Preston lives in a flat in north London. He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be closer to his daughter's family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older. It's easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing.
The agent has had the roof repaired and got the gutter replaced, but at the moment John is not satisfied because the window frames need painting and the garden looks neglected. The agent had the windows painted two years ago, but the painters didn't do it very well, so they need doing again. John pays over £1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it's not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing.
His daughter, June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the centre of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden where their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June's husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and it still does. June says, "We have a list of things to do as long as your arm - the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven't had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path - it looks dreadful when you arrive."

renewed.

PALO ALTO, California - "Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter - even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.9kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.
"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years," Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.
"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories," Robinson said. "Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson said.
1). The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ____________.
A.
children will get fatter if they eat too much
B. children will get thinner if they eat less
C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV

"Listen, that's not right." "Look, you don't understand!" "Sorry, I don't follow."
Are these three speakers, who are just chatting naturally, actually revealing what many people believe is their dominant thinking and learning style? Many educators, who research in this field say that everybody has one of three basic ways of processing the world: visual, auditory or kinaesthetic. Students who find their dominant learning style can make their learning more efficient.
The Visual Learner:"Look, you don't understand!"
The visual learner tends to learn by watching and copying what others do; they usually draw diagrams, maps and pictures rather than taking notes in words. They have a rich imagination, they tend to see pictures in their head and daydream in colour; they notice changes in people and places quickly; they remember faces not names; they write neatly and need a tidy environment to work in, but they like to surround themselves with colour, art and pictures; they doodle a lot.
The Auditory Learner:"Listen, that's not right."
The auditory learner prefers to listen to explanations, enjoys conversations, usually talks very well, with a wide vocabulary. They tend to move their lips when they read and often talk to themselves; they usually remember names rather than faces; they prefer listening to music to looking at art and pictures, but when they are studying, music distracts them; they hum a lot.
The Kinaesthetic Learner:"Sorry, I don't follow you."
Kinaesthetic learners are used to doing things physically, not listening to explanations or watching demonstrations. They like to move around when they are reading or walk up and down while trying to memorise things; they tend to touch and hug people a lot.
They often prefer sports to cinemas and concerts and may lose concentration quickly if they don't study in the right way.
Do you recognise yourself in one of the descriptions above? Three students took the tests and this is what they said.
The visual learner:
My teacher always used to tell me off for doodling - now I realise it helped me concentrate.
The auditory learner:
The coursebooks, which my colleagues found very interesting, were useless for me. I didn't want to read and take notes. I just wanted to discuss the ideas.
The kinaesthetic learner:
A teacher, who knows about learning styles suggested that I tape the lectures and listen to them when I am jogging.
