not hard for the counselor to enjoy themselves, too.

Bec Hardy, from Australia, spent a summer working for Camp America in Connecticut and insists, despite its being hard work and a lot of responsibility, it was the best thing she’s done since leaving home. “There were about seventy counselors working on the camp, so it was a great way to meet new people,” she says. Having worked an extra month at the end of camp, Hardy got to learn more about the jobs that are done behind the scenes, such as in the kitchen and with building work.

“The people doing these jobs tended to be from non-English-speaking countries and the jobs were harder work, although they did get paid a bit more than counselors,” says Hardy, who now works processing new applications for Camp America. What are her tips for those thinking about working on a camp? “Pack light and pack your least favorite clothes. Expect hard work and plan some time for sleeping after the ten weeks!” she says.

Suze Cossey, from New Zealand, spent four summers working for Camp Counselors USA in Maine. “I’d have to say the best part of it is meeting new people,” she agrees.

In her last camp job she shared her log cabin with five fifteen-year-old girls. “It was like being a big sister and I still keep in touch with some of them.” She managed to save quite a bit of money, too. “You don’t spend anything while you’re there, as all the food and the accommodation are provided,” she says. “Afterwards, while I was travelling around the States, I was invited to stay in the homes of the friends I’d made.”

question facing Camille Fox as she sits on her purple exercise mat (垫子). She imagines the butterfly pose --- knees apart, the soles (脚掌) of her feet touching. “Hold on to your butterfly wings.” Jodi Komitor teaches her class in New York City. Camille holds her toes tightly and prepares for flight. Komitor continues: “Lean back, open your butterfly wings and fly!” Her students then flap their legs. Komitor’s students will also become sleeping lions and snakes before the 45-minute class is over. They will walk on their hands and feet, balance on one leg and sit chanting, “Om”. Similar classes are being offered across the country. These parents are introducing their children to yoga in the belief that balanced lives begin with balanced children. And with their easy flexibility (灵活性) and willing imaginations, kids are proving to be natural yogis.

Alice Christensen, president of the American Yoga, is firmly against children under the age of 16 doing yoga positions. “Yoga exercise brings on hormonal(荷尔蒙) changes,” she says. “Children should not practice it because it affects their growth system.” There are no studies supporting that contention, but Christensen says there has not been enough time to assess (评估) yoga’s long-term damage to young bodies. However, instructors like Marita Gardner-Anopol, who teaches yoga and pre-schools and elementary schools in New Jersey, disagree. “Does ballet affect natural changes in the body? Skiing? Ice skating?” asks Gardner-Anopol. “Come on. Children are active from the time they are three.” In fact, most children take yoga in addition to other sports. Solomon Taslitz, age 15, says his yoga classes in Los Angeles---which include headstands, handstands and standing poses---have improved his skills in basketball. Chandler Garland, age 7, takes ballet and jazz dance as well as yoga. “When I get tense and crazy it helps me to be quieter and relaxed,” she says. She adds that yoga has helped her focus on her homework.

60. Which of the following is NOT suggested as a benefit of yoga? A. Yoga helps maintain normal body weight. B. Yoga helps develop one’s good balance. C. Yoga has a calming effect. D. Yoga helps concentration.

61. Which word below is closest in meaning to “contention” (Paragraph 3)? A. Feeling B. Fact C. Discovery D. Opinion

62. When Marita Gardner-Anopol says “Come on” (Paragraph 3), she is expressing . A. agreement. B. encouragement. C. disbelief. D. surprise.

Pierre Dukan, the nutritionist behind the popular but controversial (有争议的) Dukan diet, has suggested that France deal with child obesity by giving extra

南京师大附中2016-2017学年度高一第一学期英语期末试卷 第7页 共13页

exam marks for slimness.

Dukan, who has sold 8 million copies of his diet book worldwide, made the proposal in a 250-page book called An open Letter to the Future President, which he sent out to 16 candidates (候选人) for France’s presidential election.

The plan calls for high school students to be allowed to take a so-called “ideal weight” option in their final year exams, “the baccalaureat”, under which they would earn extra points if they kept a body mass index (BMI) of between 18 and 25. Those already overweight at the start of the two-year course would score double points if they managed to slim down over a period of two years.

“It’s a fantastic motivator (动力),” Dukan told the reporters. “The baccalaureat is really important in France. Kids want to get it, and their parents want them to get it even more, so why not get them to work together on nutrition?”

Weight gain is becoming an increasing problem in France and experts say sedentary (久坐不动) lifestyle and poor nutrition are to blame. World Health Organization(WHO) figures show 50.7 percent of the population were overweight in 2010, including 18.2 percent classed as obese.

“There’s a real problem. Since the 1960’s, the number of overweight people in France has risen from 500,000 to 22 million and it’s going up every year,” Dukan said. “When you reach those levels, it’s no longer a health problem, it becomes a political problem, and the leaders of the nation need to worry about it.”

As well as the suggestion for students, Dukan’s book contains 119 further suggestions for the future president on ways to fight obesity. One idea is the creation of a French fast-food restaurant serving more nutritional versions of burgers and fries. Dukan has earned an international reputation as a diet guru (专家) to the stars, although his methods have drawn criticism from some health experts and weight watchers who say his high-protein meal plan causes tiredness, bad breathe and dizziness. But he is also very active in promoting healthier lifestyles.

He recently met the manager from McDonald’s France with a suggestion for a healthy “McDukan” burger, made with low-fat meat and oatmeal bread instead of the usual white bun. Unfortunately, the giant food chain turned him down. “They were interested, but they said the public wasn’t quite ready for it yet,” he said.

63. According to the passage, “the baccalaureat” is probably . A. a book on ideal weight B. part of final year exams

C. a healthy diet for students D. an important system of BMI

64. We can infer that by sending his books to the 16 candidates, Pierre Dukan wanted . A. to show his support for the presidential election B. them to advertise for his diet book

C. the future leaders of France to take child obesity seriously

D. to emphasize how serious the health problem is

65. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Dukan according to the passage? A. Dukan is very eager to join in political campaigns.

B. Many stars would like to ask Dukan for diet advice.

C. Dukan thinks burgers and fries provided now are unhealthy. D. Some health experts don’t agree with Dukan’s diet plan. 66. This article mainly introduces _____. A. weight problems in France B. Pierre Dukan and his diet book C. the importance of the baccalaureat

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共33分)

一．简答题（共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分）

Read the following passage and answer the following questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.

If you need another reason to give thanks at the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day, how’s this: people who maintain an “attitude of gratitude” are happier and healthier than those who don’t, according to an article in The Wall Street Journal.

The WSJ’s Melinda Beck reports that adults who feel grateful have more energy, more optimism, more social connection and more happiness than those who do not. They’re also less likely to be depressed, envious, greedy or alcoholics (酗酒者).

Now a new study conducted by researchers at Hofstra University---the results of which are set to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies---finds similar benefits of gratitude for teenagers as well.

Dr. Jeffery J. Froh, assistant professor of psychology and lead researcher of the new study, surveyed 1,035 students aged from 14 to 19 and found that grateful students reported higher grades, more life satisfaction, and less envy and depression than those who were less thankful and more materialistic. Additionally, feelings of gratitude had a more powerful impact on the students’ lives overall than materialism.

What the research mainly suggests is that gratitude can make a lasting difference in health. Dr. Robert Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, a pioneer in gratitude research, told the WSJ that in order to harvest all of its benefits, feeling gratitude must be rooted into your personality, and you must be frequently feeling thankful for the role other people play in your happiness. “The key is not to leave it on the Thanksgiving table” he said.

For older children and adults, one simple way to cultivate (培养) gratitude is to count your blessings. Keep diary and regularly record whatever you are grateful

南京师大附中2016-2017学年度高一第一学期英语期末试卷 第9页 共13页

for that day. Be specific. Listing “my friends, my school, my dog” day after day means that “gratitude tiredness” has set in, Dr. Froh says. Writing “my dog licked my face when I was sad” keeps it fresher. The real benefit comes in changing how you experience the world. Look for things to be grateful for, and you’ll start seeing them.

Studies show that using negative words---even as you talk to yourself---can darken your mood, as well. Fill your head with positive thoughts, express thanks and encouragement aloud and look for something to be grateful for, not criticize, in those around you, especially loved ones.

67. According to Dr. Jeffrey J. Froh, __________ are likely to be more envious and depressed.
