(10 points) One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 1 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 2 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 3 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 4 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 5 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 6 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 7 to deal with was that the day before the 8 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 9 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 10 . It wasnt until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 11 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 12 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 13 as well.Perhaps most of us arent as extreme at fault-finding, 14 when were honest, we can be sharply 15 of the world. Im not suggesting you 16 problems, or that you pretend things are 17 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are 18 most of the time, and especially when its not a really big 19 .Train yourself to bite your tongue, and with a little 20 , youll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, youll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.1、AlonelyBgreatCquietDuneasy2、AreceivedBansweredCexpectedDrejected3、AthreatenedBinterruptedCbotheredDspoiled4、AanythingBeverythingCsomethingDnothing5、AcaringBboringCinterestingDsurprising6、AattitudeBplanCmeasureDexplanation7、AurgentBunnecessaryCcertainDimpossible8、AoccasionBeventCaccidentDadventure9、AmemoryBnoticeCevidenceDchoice10、AhearBcontributeCexpressDadmit11、Aaware ofBafraid ofCcurious aboutDconfused about12、AdiscussBrealizeCjudgeDsettle13、AfamilyBlifeCcareerDeducation14、AsoBorCbutDfor15、AproudBsureChopefulDcritical16、AfaceBcreateCsolveDignore17、ArarerBbetterCstrangerDworse18、Aat leastBat lastCby farDso far19、AtaskBdealCresultDduty20、ApracticeBspeechCrestDpitySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

(40 points)Text 1Living closer to open fields and trees reduces your risk of being obese（肥胖）, research suggests and the benefits can be seen even in poor neighborhoods where risks of both obesity and poor mental health are known to be much higher. The new study, supported by Friends of the Earth Europe (FoE), also showed that the great outdoors had benefits for pregnant women. Those living close to trees and open fields, considered a “natural healers” by the researchers at the Institute for European environmental policy, gave birth to children of much healthier sizes.It is believed that the increased opportunity to be active and breathing in less air pollution may explain the reduced death rates and obesity prevention. After reviewing hundreds of previous studies, scientists say it can even reduce the chance of an early death by 16 per cent compared to those living in an “urban jungle.” The green spaces also reduced depression（抑郁）by allowing for people to meet others more easily and get away from busy and noisy activities of a city, experts state.Robbie Blake, a campaigner for FoE, told The Guardian: “The evidence is strong and growing that people and communities can be energetic and lively when they have access to nature.“We all need nature in our lives and it gives us freedom and helps us live healthily; yet poor communities are routinely cut off from nature in their surroundings and it is holding back their wellbeing.”The findings back up much evidence that shows setting up a home in a heavily-polluted city can be damaging to someones health. After studying the well-being of nearly 110,000 women, they found living in cities also increased the risk of cancer and respiratory（呼吸）illnesses. Those in the greenest areas had a 34 per cent lower rate of respiratory disease-related deaths and a 13 per cent lower rate of cancer deaths.1、What can we know about obesity from Paragraph 1?AThe outdoors can prevent obesity.
