Signing is not just 　47   with the hands. Expressions on the face are also 　48　.
 The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.

Sometimes, people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese), grains (like bread and rice), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests(建议) how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.

As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount(量) of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate(率) of cancer(癌症) and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However , when Japanese people move to the US , the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan , the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.

Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.

Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects(影响) us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause(引起) diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.

58. What is the USDA in the passage?

A.　　 A group of doctors in the US.

B.　　 An office of the US government.

C.　　 A report on diseases in the US.

D.　　 An order given by the US president.

59. The second paragraph mainly tells us that______.

A.　　 Japanese are always healthier than Americans

B.　　 living in the US is not good for people’s health

C.　　 if you eat too much fat you will have cancer

D.　　 the way we eat may cause some health problems

60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.　　 More and more people have good eating habits now.

B.　　 Parent’s eating habits are important to their children..

C.　　 Good eating habits develop only when you are young.

D.　　 The more fruit and vegetables we eat , the longer we will live.

61. The greatest help the passage gives us is_______.

A.　　 to introduce a food guide to the world

B.　　 to provide us with knowledge of six food groups

C.　　 to suggest a way of eating for a healthy life

D.　　 to find the main cause of some serious diseases

　　　 Jason Queally is one of the fastest men in the world on a bicycle. But do you really call the thing in the picture a bicycle? Well , yes. Jason’s human-powered(人力的) machine, with its two wheels is, of course, a bicycle.

　　　 Every year, a very important human-powered bicycle race is held in Nevada, USA. The speed of the bike is measured(测定) only 200metres, but players take more than a kilometer to get their bikes going fast. Jason Queally’s fastest speed for the 200-metre race was 103.5 kilometres an hour.

　　　 At this year’s race, Jason failed to reach the finishing line. He was speeding along at about seventy kilometers an hour when he began to lose control(控制) of his bike. When he tried to slow down, it began to smoke. Soon the inside of his bike was filled with smoke. He couldn’t see, and he couldn’t breathe. At seventy kilometres an hour, a crash(撞击) could be very serious. Jason was frightened, but he managed to stop the bike safely. He would repair his bicycle and try again another time to be the world’s fastest man on a bike. Better luck next time, Jason.

　　　 Maybe you’re surprised that these bikes go so quickly, but is it useful? It could be. Cars are becoming more and more popular, and they are very safe, comfortable and easy to drive, but they also pollute the air in our cities. Scientists and engineers are learning from fast racing bikes how to make human-powered vehicles(车辆) that might be useful for daily travel.
