　　Body image—the way people feel about their looks—is a big problem for many young people today. According to a 　1　, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet, and almost one in five teenage boys are worried about their bodies and their weight. 

But what's the 　2　? In the study, many blame the media(媒体). Turn on the TV and you'll 　3　 see beautiful models, handsome actors and fit sports stars. Open a magazine or a newspaper, 　4　 the Internet, and it's usually the same. 

Many young people feel pressure to look like these “　5　” people. But for most, this is just not possible. In the USA, the average(平均的) woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos, 　6　 the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos.

Passage 1

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.

Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour(倒) dangerous chemicals(化学物品) and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.

By the year 2200, the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体). Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. But not enough was done.

So by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live.

By the year 2400,the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place as our home.

So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

A.Water.    B.Air.     C.Lifestyle.    D.Food.

B.There was no clean water for people to drink by the year 2200.

Passage 2

Usually, many people complain they are facing problems. In fact, every day and everywhere there are problems. When one problem is solved, another one comes up.

People have money problems, work problems, family problems, health problems… the list goes on. And we always think that people who are happy and successful have fewer problems than us. It seems that everything goes well with them. But the fact is that the more successful you are, the more problems you will have to face. Successful people just know how to solve their problems.

We may see, new presidents are lucky, happy and successful. But they have to face bigger challenges and lots of pressure. To keep their countries moving forward, they have to be more careful about their work and decisions.

You may ask, “If there are too many problems in life, then how can we find happiness?” The answer is to find happiness while you are solving your problems.

On the other hand, we need problems. They help us to grow. If you had a fight with your friend, what should you do? No matter who is wrong, I think you need to change the way you behave. Try to communicate with your friend. You can take some actions, such as spending more time with your friend and showing more love. By doing so, your will solve the problem and become a better person.

Ⅲ.回答问题

　　While a man was passing by an elephant, he suddenly stopped. The elephant was held by only a small rope. The farmer tied the rope to the elephant's front leg. No chains, no cages. The man was very confused(困惑的). He wanted to know why the elephant didn't run away.

He visited the farmer and asked why the elephant just stood there and didn't run away. “Well,” the farmer said, “when it was very young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie it. At that age, the rope was strong enough to hold it. Of course it couldn't run away. When it grew up, it still believed the rope could hold it. So it never tried to run away.”

The man was very amazed. In fact, the grown-up elephant could run away at any time. But it didn't run away just because it believed it couldn't. As a result, it was stuck right there.

We have such problems in our life. Sometimes we don't think we can deal with the problems. Sometimes we fail to deal with them. It's not wise to stop struggling. See? Failure is part of learning. We should never give up the struggle.
