• 2．    When I was a little girl，growing up in Iowa，my favorite thing to do was read — same as today.So，when I thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up，I figured I'd be a librarian.Our town librarian，Mrs.Tonne，was really important to me becoming me.The library had a two-book limit，but she knew I'd blow through those in just a few days，so she always let me check out a big stack.And when I was in fourth grade，our school librarian，Mrs.Ketelsen，sent some poems I'd written about dinosaurs to Highlights magazine.My first published writing!
     At the University of Iowa，majoring in journalism，I quickly learned that I did not want to be a newspaper reporter.I'm shy about interviewing people，which amuses almost everyone who knows me and thinks I'm outgoing. （I am，but only with people I know!） So I was thrilled when I was selected for a summer internship （實(shí)習(xí)） at Reader's Digest.
     Ten years after that，I came back to RD to work as an editor.I've worked at other magazines too，but I've spent most of my career here，reading magazines，newspapers，websites，and books for stories we could rewrite；writing articles；even choosing jokes.This issue seems like the perfect one to introduce myself to you all.
     "The Tractor War" （page 92）takes me home to the Midwest. "Something to Sneeze At" （page 47）reminds me of all the sneezing I did when I moved to New York City and was suddenly allergic （過(guò)敏的） to grasses and trees. "Pet Besties" （page 58）makes me think about my cats，brothers Reggie and Smokey，who are sitting together at the window as I write.I relate to lots of our stories this month，and I hope you do too.Enjoy!

• 3．People who walk briskly（迅速地） for two and a half hours a week have a 25 percent lower risk of depression，according to a study.Researchers from Cambridge University found that physical activity in line with government guidelines was also linked to better mental health.Their paper，published in JAMA Psychiatry，found that even those who managed half the recommended amount had an 18 percent lower risk of depression than those who did nothing.
     Dr Matt Pearce，first author on the paper，said，"The key message of the paper is that risk of depression is substantially lower for individuals who are physically active，and that most of these lower benefits occur at levels below the current health recommendations.Physical activity should therefore be encouraged to improve mental health even in inactive individuals who struggle to reach current recommendations."
     The research combined data from 15 earlier studies，with 191，130 participants，all looking at the relationship between depression and physical activity.Since the study was observational in nature，it cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
     The researchers found"only minor additional benefits"to mental health when people were physically active beyond the recommended levels.Professor James Woodcock，a senior author on the paper，said，"There are two key features of this relationship：firstly，that the biggest difference in the risk of depression was seen when comparing those reporting no activity with those reporting a small amount"."Even ten minutes a day appears to make a big difference.Secondly，that there appear to be minimal additional benefits of doing high volumes of activity."
     The researchers said there were likely to be multiple reasons for their findings，including exercise activating certain networks in the brain and body，releasing feelgood hormones called endorphins（內(nèi)啡肽）.Besides，people who are physically active usually sleep better，a key component of protecting your mental health.It might also be that improvements to individuals' body image from being more active，and increases in social interaction during activity played a role.Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood，with many studies linking the use of green spaces and lower depression risks.
  
  （1）What did the researchers from Cambridge University discover？

  
  A．Physical activity can reduce depression.
  B．Brisk walking should be recommended.
  C．Doing exercise can boost overall health.
  D．Moderation is the key in physical activity.
  （2）How did the researchers draw the conclusion？

  
  A．By repeating 15 earlier experiments.
  B．By analyzing data from 15 previous studies.
  C．By proving the cause-and-effect relationship.
  D．By collecting data from 191，130 participants.
  （3）Which of the following statements would Professor James Woodcock agree with？

  
  A．A small amount of physical activity can work wonders.
  B．Extra physical activity might do harm to people's health.
  C．It is highly recommended to take high volumes of exercise.
  D．A 10-minute workout every day brings the biggest difference.
  （4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Endorphins activate certain parts in the brain.
  B．Green spaces are helpful in lifting one's spirits.
  C．Stable mental health can improve sleep quality.
  D．Improved body image increases social interaction.

讀后續(xù)寫(xiě)

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
     By December 2007，my husband had been out of work for six months.Of our six children，the eldest one Jack was 19 and usually pretty handy（手巧的） with electronics.Dad had told him， "I wouldn't open that DVD player if I were you." Well，Jack wasn't Dad，he did open it out of curiosity and as a result，it quit working.A new DVD player cost ＄250 and it wasn't on our list to buy，since car repairs would need a large amount of money and daily expenses were also wanting money.
     The next day，our neighbor came to our house.When she saw the broken DVD player，she said， "Your children wouldn't be happy without the DVD player in the coming Christmas holiday." I just shook my head as I told her about our financial situation.
     However，I determined to make our upcoming Christmas happy with cheap things — parades，community fun days，baking cookies，and making candy and homemade gift baskets.Perhaps those things weren't as exciting as filling the tree with gifts，but hopefully my children would learn that family togetherness and traditions are more important than gifts.
     One evening after dinner，I was standing in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.I went to answer the door but found no one there.I hate it when those bad neighbor kids "ring and run".I decided to find them this time!Quietly，I headed out to the sidewalk to find the bad kid and give him/her a good lesson.
     Heading toward the mailbox，I heard someone near the house and called out， "OK，you may think it's funny to ring the doorbell and run，but I don't!" Then I saw movement.Someone moved behind my car，probably thinking he/she could go quickly around the back of the car and be home free.I stood at the end of the driveway. "Come out，" I said，in my biggest，scary Mom voice. "I can see you there!"
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。
     A disguised but familiar female voice replied， "Hey lady，go and check your door!"_________
     Surprisingly，inside the red envelope was a ＄250 gift card for a department store.________
