Singapore worries a lot about the fitness of its people. One third of the people in the country of four million are overweight, and about 6% of them are obese (过度肥胖). Every year, September is fitness month and one year recently the         for the month was “Fighting Obesity”.
This fight       unhealthy lifestyles starts in the schools. Everyone is educated about eating well and taking exercise. Students whose weight is more than it should be are asked to join the school health club and take part in special activities to help them       a couple of kilograms. During breaks they do not go to the canteen (餐厅) to eat snacks,       to the school hall for some exercise. The school also talks to their parents to see if they can plan a healthier diet for the children. Sometimes the parents       it is their cooking that is causing the problem and then it is easy to persuade (说服) them to change. Some children find it       to lose weight, but they are told not to give up easily. A big       is made to interest them in sport. Fun and games are used to attract the students to running and jumping. One school gives its students a smart student card which they can use to buy books and food. Parents can       a list of the food the child is eating and discuss it at home. Fitness classes may be held on Saturdays for those who need them. Parents come and help with ball games and races.
Schools       to allow some types of food like French fries（薯条）. Young people,     , often like junk food and use their pocket money on the way home to buy hamburgers and pizza. It is difficult to stop this, but the schools try, and to encourage the schools there are Trim and Fit Awards for the ones with good ideas or whose students are fit and healthy.

People have strange ideas about food. In the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的). They called tomatoes "poison apples."
President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way, for a cream of tomato soup . This beautiful pink soup was served at the President's next dinner party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their President would sever his dinner guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his guests about the fact.
Which of the following is true?

Jefferson was a president of _______.

Jefferson learned that tomatoes were good to eat _______.

She was returning from teaching out in a small community . It was a moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.
She remembered back to when she had first started teaching out in small communities. In those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her of a friend who had been shot (中枪) in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.
Her family didn’t become concerned (关心的) about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but now as he ran toward the car in the dark she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need she couldn’t leave him here in this storm.
The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come for him, she wished him well and left.
Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. She felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour. “I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.
What can we learn about the woman?

What made her family worried about her safety?

We can infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph that _________.

Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer. They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”
“What do you want to do?” the businessman asked. “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said, “You start.” “Let’s make the rules first,” the businessman said. “That’s not fair. You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.”
“That’s true.” The businessman said. “What do you want we should do?” “If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you pay me $100. And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50.” The farmer said. The businessman thought about this, then he said, “OK. That’s fair. Who will go first?”
“I will,” The farmer said. “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” The business man repeated the riddle, “What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies? Mm, that’s a good one. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.” He gave the farmer $100, then said, “Tell me the answer. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” “I don’t know.” The farmer said and gave him $50.
What does the word “riddle” mean in this story?

Why did the businessman agree to give more money if he lost?

Which of the following is NOT true?

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some officers often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who don’t support her says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
We may infer that the author believes people should ________.

How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
