New Year’s resolutions（决心）often fail, but now a new study may just provide motivation for you to stick to them. Scientists found that meeting goals — such as giving up drinking or smoking — can slash your risk of cancer. The large-scale study — of half a million Britons — looked at the effects of quitting tobacco，limiting alcohol intake, maintaining a low body mass index (BMI), exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet. Each individual behaviour was found to bring a decrease in the chance of getting cancer of about eight per cent. But if people carried out all together the overall risk reduction was about a third — and likely a greater cut in deaths from the disease.
The researchers from Cardiff University examined data from 343,150 people from the UK Biobank to identify the five healthy behaviours and compare them to the risk of cancer. The subjects were aged 40 to 69 and 14,285 were diagnosed （诊断）with the disease during an average follow-up of just over five years. The team found that adopting（采用）all the studied healthy behaviours brought a 25 and 35 percent reduction in bowel and breast cancer respectively — two of the most common forms of the disease.
The team said the findings may not sound surprising — but they serve as a reminder of the importance behind turning resolutions into permanent lifestyle choices.
Professor Elwood, the lead researcher，said the real problem for people adopting resolutions was translating the unclear idea of lifestyle choices being “good” into useful evidence — which was what this study provided. “A healthy lifestyle has many additional benefits to cancer reduction — it costs nothing, has no undesirable side effects…and is better than any pill.” 29．What does the underlined word “slash” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Cut. C．Change.
30．What can be learnt from the passage?
A．Almost half of the subjects of the research got cancer.
B．Bowel cancer and breast cancer are the most common diseases.
B．Increase. D．Keep.
C．A healthy habit will bring down the risk of cancer by 33%.
D．The research shows the benefits of carrying out New Year’s resolutions. 31．According to Professor Elwood, the research is mainly aimed at ______. A．warning people of the risk of cancer
B．removing people’s doubts about healthy lifestyles C．persuading people into sticking to healthy lifestyles D．proving the relation between lifestyles and cancer 32．What would probably be the best title? A．How to Choose Healthy Lifestyles? B．Quit New Year’s Resolutions? Think Again! C．Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Wisely! D．Healthy Lifestyles Bring Down Cancer Risks!

It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented by a company named Hallmark, but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shout-out to Mom for a long time. The Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals — although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers out to dinner. A more recent tradition wasMothering Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were living and working apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers’ houses.
Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers' Work Days” to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides, and after the war she became a peacemaker, furthering the cause by bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother's Day holiday.
Jarvis's work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe published her “Mother's Day Proclamation”, which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for
peace. Howe started holding annual Mother's Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decade she stopped footing the bill and the tradition faded away.
It was Jarvis's daughter Anna who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died, in May 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless PR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the support of John W anamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate and advertising pioneer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other states had adopted Mother's Day. Two years later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday.
It wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,” she said. 37．The first paragraph suggests that . A．mothers didn't get enough appreciation B．Mother's Day was invented by Hallmark C．young people returned to their mothers' houses
D．Greeks and Romans were the first to celebrate Mother's Day 38．Who plays the most important role in creating Mother's Day? A．Ann Jarvis. C．Woodrow Wilson.
B．Julia Ward Howe. D．Anna Jarvis.
39．Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother's Day at last? A．Because it was an emotional day. B．Because the festival was not profitable.
C．Because the celebrations went against the original spirit. D．Because the day was buried under greeting cards and candy. 40．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．The Objection to Mother’s Day
B．The Argument on Celebrating Mother's Day C．The Story Behind the Creation of Mother's Day
D．Different Form of Celebrations on Mother's Day 三、完形填空(共10个小题，每小题2分，共20分。)
The notion of building brand personality is promoted by Starbucks as a part of company culture to embed meaning in their products and thus attract more customers.

Strict control over the quality and processing of the beans 42 that the coffee would be of the highest possible quality. Outstanding store personnel were employed and trained in coffee knowledge and 43 service. Store design, atmosphere and aroma (浓香) all 44 the “Starbucks Experience”.
Almost all Starbucks stores were corporately owned and controlled. Starbucks prided itself on the “Starbucks Experience”, 45 coffee to provide a unique experience for its customers.
46 those traditional coffee houses providing you with the grab-and-go service, Starbucks provides you with more than coffee.

And somewhere in between is a place where you can sit back and be yourself. That’s what a Starbucks store has been 48 to creating for its customers — a kind of “third place” where they can 49 , reflect, read, chat or listen. The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double image of the sea. It was designed by Terry Heckler, who got the 50 from the wooden statue of the sea. Mermaid logo also 51 original and modern meanings: her face is very simple, but with modern abstract forms of packaging; the middle is black and white, the only color on the outside surrounded by a circle.
Starbucks makes the typical American culture gradually broken down into elements of 52 : the visual warmth, hearing the way, smelling the aroma of coffee and so on. Just think, through the huge glass windows, watching the crowded streets, 53 sipping a coffee flavor, which is in line with the “Yapi”, the feeling of experience in the 54 life.
