Sitting for hours at a time is dangerous and can even lead to death. Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping.
Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction（反应） to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn't an answer to the question.
A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won't make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints（关节） and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails.
These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise.
49. What did ancient humans do in the daytime
①Hunt. ②Work. ③ Sit. ④ Move.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
50. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Normal work desks. B. Standing computer desks.
C. Standing desks. D. Some chairs.
51. The underlined word “colleagues” probably means“_____”.
A. people who you study with B. people who you work with
C. people who you live with D. people who you exercise with
52. Which of the following does the writer probably agree
A. Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy.
B. People should be active both at work and after work.
C. Most people spend more time standing than sleeping.
D. The best way to communicate with others is to send emails.
D
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you've both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you eat. But I. also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mum. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me —about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn't seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn't mean much if I couldn't make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ra n for （竞选）President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.
I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college even though their parents don't have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal（平等的）.
I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you've had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
There are the things I want for you — to grow up in the world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of you. I love you more than I can ever know. And I am thankful every day. Because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House .
Love, Dad

Four kinds of friends
I once believed that a friend is a friend “all the way”. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
Friends of convenience（便利）. They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. They will help us when we need it. They will look after our cats when we go on holiday. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. We keep our public face and emotional（情感的） distance, which means that we'll talk about being overweight but not about being happy or sad. However, people still feel these friendships valuable（珍贵的） to them.
Special-interest friends. These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional. Their value lies in some shared interest, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
Historical Friends. We all have a friend who knew us well when…, maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. We have little in common（共同）now, but we are still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together helps us remember an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
Cross-generational（代） friends. These are friendships that from across generations. I have in my own life a precious（珍贵的） friend, a woman of 65, who is wise, who listens well, and who represents（代表） not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love, support and trust each other.
71 of friends Descriptions of friends
Friends of convenience They can be the 72 or the mothers of our children's closest friends. They can help us when we are in 73 . Though we don't talk about emotional topics, this doesn't mean that there isn't any value to be found in these friends.
Special-interest friends We usually 74 some interests with our special-interest friends, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
75 friends This kind of friendship was usually formed when we were 76 . Although we don't have 77 in common now, we are still a personal part of each other's past. Our getting together reminds us of each other's happy old days.
Cross-generational friends Cross-generational friends usually aren't from the 78 generations. A friend like this may represent a（an） 79 mother or the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Conclusion: Best friends need to love, 80 and trust each other totally.
B）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。
April 2nd, Sunday Fine
