　　Like most people, you've probably never given your blood glucose (糖) a second thought, unless you have diabetes (糖尿病). But researchers now know that whether or not you have diabetes, eating too much can make your blood glucose go up and down and can increase the danger of heart disease. It may be even bad for your memory.

　　This realization has greatly changed the way we understand food and health. Luckily, none of these things happen overnight, and even small changes in the food you eat every day can start you on a healthier path.

　　When you are hungry, do you reach for a chocolate cake or a box of biscuits? These "fast- acting" foods are handy and they take no time at all to dissolve (溶化) in your stomach. Then they race into your blood, running through your body with blood glucose. The trouble is the comfort doesn't last long, leaving you feeling hungry again. As a result, your blood glucose will run out of

　　control.

　　It's no wonder most of us have less energy than we'd like and feel tired too often. It's also no wonder that most of us weigh more than we want to. Yes, eating too much and exercising too little are main reasons, and ever changing blood glucose will send you shopping for bigger jeans.

　　For most of us even when our blood glucose goes up and down after a large meal, our body can bring it back to normal in a few hours. Only people with untreated diabetes have blood glucose levels that stay quite high most of the time.

　　For a long time, doctors thought that only these people needed to take care of their blood glucose levels. Now, we know that even in healthy people, high levels after meals can damage (损坏) the body, even if it never causes diabetes.

　　(  )41. How does our blood glucose change after a large meal?

　　A. It remains unchanged.    B. It stays on high levels.

　　C. It goes up and down.    D. It comes back to normal.

　　(  )42. What does the writer think of "fast-acting" foods?

　　A. He thinks they are delicious.      B. He thinks they are easy to get.

　　C. He thinks they make us healthy.  D. He thinks they damage our body.

　　(  )43. What shall we do if we want to keep the normal blood glucose?

　　A. Check our blood glucose after each meal.

　　B. Have proper food and exercise every day.

　　C. Eat certain kind of medicine before meals.

　　D. Ask the doctor for help from time to time.

　　It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don't want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.

　　-When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.

　　-Don't' use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.

　　-Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don't wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.

　　-Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.

　　-Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to   struggle and is able to swim.

　　-Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are   going to release a fish, do so right away.

　　With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.

　　The Olympics are some of the most exciting sports events in the world. But there is another Olympics about which you may not have heard. This is the Special Olympics, for people with mental disabilities (残疾).

　　People with mental disabilities learn more slowly than other people. Sometimes they have trouble controlling the actions of their arms and legs. For years, many people thought that mentally disabled people could not take part in sports, but they were wrong.

　　The first Special Olympic Games were held in Chicago in 1968. One thousand people competed in many events. Since then Special Olympic programs have been organized in all 50 states and more than 150 countries. Today more than a million people take part in the Special Olympics.

　　Mentally disabled persons over the age of eight may take part in the Special Olympics. These people may also have physical disabilities. People have run in races using crutches or walkers. A young girl entered the long jump event with an artificial leg. A blind runner raced around the track with the help of his coach's voice. A deaf basketball team planned their plays using sign language.

　　Winning is wonderful for people who may never have had much success. But training for and entering the Special Olympics is also important. The participants (选手) become more confident. They learn how to concentrate in order to play well. Then they use that concentration in school or improve their schoolwork. Like anyone else they feel great when they prove they can do something well.

　　(  ) 48. Why did people think mental disabilities couldn't take part in sports?

　　A. Because most of them move more slowly.

　　B. Because some of them learn as well as others.

　　C. Because they could not be organized easily.

　　D. Because they don't have proper behavior.

　　(  ) 49. The writer mainly tells us _____________ in the fourth paragraph.

　　A. how physical disabilities play in the Special Olympics.

　　B. how a young girl played in the long jump event

　　C. how we can help physical disabilities in sports

　　D. how old a disabled person can take part in the Special Olympics.

　　(  ) 50. What does the underlined word "concentrate" mean?

　　A. Make preparation.   B. Work hard.    C. Pay special attention.    D. Catch up.
