When thinking about quitting smoking…

List all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons ten times.

Decide positively that you want to quit. Try to avoid negative thoughts about how difficult it might be. Develop strong personal reasons as well as your health and responsibility to others. For example, think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, hunting a light, etc. Set a date for quitting --- perhaps a special day like your birthday, a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work, quit during your vacation. Make the date holy seriously, and don't let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically; start a modest  exercise; drink more water; get plenty of rest.

Immediately after quitting...

The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited, e.g. libraries, museums, theatres, department stores, etc.

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor,  mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.

Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is

 harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.

It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock­watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.

Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample  of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex and age, the mother's health and feeding style. These results don't surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk o

f harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.

I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.

21. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels ________.

A.sick       B.upset     C.sleepy       D.hungry

22. What does the author think about Dr King?

A.He is strict.     B.He is unkind.

C.He has the wrong idea.   D.He sets a timetable for mothers.

23. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________.

A.basic  B.reliable  C.surprising  D.interesting

24. What  does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?

A.The baby will sleep well.

B.The baby will have its brain harmed.

C.The baby will have a low blood sugar level.

D.The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.

25. The author supports feeding the baby ________.[来源:学科网ZXXK]

A.at night  B. every four hours  C. whenever it wants food   D. according to its blood sugar level.

26_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _27 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _28 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

29You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 30Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A. That’s easy.

B. Enjoy your own club!

C. Invite a designer to join you.

D. What are you interested in?
