When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language barriers.（障碍） How wrong I was! The misunderstandings(误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Penny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit（点） young?” “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?” “Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.” When at last we met, Penny explained the misunderstandings to me. “Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first.

Good health is the most valuable（珍贵的） thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted（理所当然）. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料). Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals（矿物质）. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight. Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you will feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp. Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body strong and prevents you from putting on weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on, are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser. 1.In order to keep healthy, ________. A. we should eat a lot of sweets B. one needs a large amount of fat C. people should eat according to the foods nutrition D we must try to sleep day and night. 2.The title of the article should be ________. A. Eating and Exercising B. How Vitamins Work in Man's Body C. How to Stay Healthy D. Sleeping Well 3.The passage is probably taken from ________. A. an advertisement(广告) B. a travel journal C. an English dictionary D. a magazine
