All these groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that eachgroup is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second two cups, and the third threecups.
After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group arethinner than normal mice but they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using theequipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years, while most of the mice in this groupare still alive after three years.

第9题
In America Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother's Day card and perhaps some flowers or candy to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother's Day is a relatively new holiday in America more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.
I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.
It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.
Anna was born on May 1 1864 just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a“minister” which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.
After she became an adult Anna worked for life insurance company in Philadelphia Pennsylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington D.C. Then in 1906 just two weeks after Anna's 42nd birthday her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.
In the months that followed Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.
After more than a year of careful planning Anna arranged the first Mother's Daychurch service on May10 1908 in Crafton West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia where she lived and worked to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother's Day -- the first city to do so. After three more years the state of West Virginia where Anna's mother had lived made Mother's Day a statewide observance--for a holiday in the normal sense but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

第10题
It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd（牧羊人）named Kaldi. One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely: instead of grazing quietly as normal, they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed that the goats were eating red cherries from a plant. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement — he felt like dancing, too!
But it wasn’t used as a drink at first, but as food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal fat, were used by monks to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Ethiopia coffee was later cultivated（种植）in Yemen, and the first hot drink was developed there around 1000 A.D. Three centuries later Muslims were keen coffee drinkers and as Islam spread, so did coffee. Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.
For hundreds of years the plants were guarded safely. But some beans were smuggled（偷运）out of Arabia and taken to India. In the 17th century coffee was soon growing on a new continent. From India to Indonesia and then a century later beans were smuggled once again to Brazil — which is now the largest coffee producer in the world.
It is the caffeine, an addictive stimulant（刺激性的）drug, which made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other drinks, including tea, coffee has the most caffeine. 150 milligrams is the minimum dose needed to stimulate the nervous system and this can be found in a single strong cup of coffee. In the short term a couple of cups can prevent fatigue（疲劳）and delay sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can cause anxiety and restlessness.
6.The red cherries that the goats ate made them _______.
A、 sick
B、 sleepy
C、 excited
D、 tired
7.Coffee as a hot drink first appeared in ________.
A、Ethiopia
B、Yemen
C、Brazil
D、India
8.Coffee as a hot drink was probably spread around the __________.
A、11th century
B、14th century
C、17th century
D、18th century
9.In what order of continents was coffee first discovered and then spread？
A、 South America — Asia — Africa.
B、 Asia — South America — Africa.
C、 Africa — Asia — South America.
D、 Africa — South America — Asia.
10.Several cups of coffee a day can make a person ______.
A、become over-active
B、behave strangely
C、feel anxious
D、stay awake
