Some people think that if they do not eat fast food every day but try to eat a few vegetables every once in a while, they can consider this “healthy eating”.Many p

21、eople do not want to eat the required fruits and vegetables. But what most people dont realize is that potassium(鉀) as well as many other minerals and vitamins is in these foods. Without proper amounts of potassium, your body will undergo unhealthy changes. Headaches, anxiety, irregular heartbeat an

22、d weakness are all symptoms that can result from potassium deficiency(缺乏). Therefore it is best to keep up on your potassium rich foods on a regular basis. Foods rich in potassium can be tasty as well as easy to eat. Potassium rich foods are generally found in fruits and vegetables. Here are a few o

23、thers to think about eating daily.One cup of cantaloupe(甜瓜) is worth almost 500 mg, so if you ate seven cups a day you would have your daily intake covered. However, many people dont want to eat a lot of the same food, so try one of these: five dates (海棗果) are worth 270 mg, the same as eating two fi

24、gs(無花果). One cup of lima beans at supper gives you almost 1,000 mg, and one cup of milk is worth 407 mg, and one orange is worth 237 mg. Eating only a few of these foods daily will help you reach a healthy amount daily.Potassium is a necessary part of keeping the balance of water in a human body. Th

25、erefore if you do not take in enough potassium, you can become dehydrated while taking in too much potassium can cause you to gain water weight. A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables will help keep your potassium levels healthy. So from now on, include potassium rich foods in your diet for h

26、ealthy eating!41. According to some people, “healthy eating” refers to _. A. eating the fruits and vegetables required B. having no fast food but some vegetables from time to time C. keeping up on your potassium rich foods regularly D. having a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables42. If you d

27、ont have enough potassium in your body, you _. A. may feel a stomach ache B. may not sleep well C. may feel anxious D. may not absorb nutrition well43. Which of the following contain the same amount of potassium? A. One cup of milk and two oranges. B. Two figs and four dates. C. Two cups of cantalou

28、pe and one cup of lima beans. D. Five dates and one cup of honeydew melon.44. When you feel dehydrated, you _. A. should lose weight B. dont want to drink water C. should take in less potassium D. need more water in your body45. The author writes the passage in order to persuade us _. A. not to take

29、 in much potassium B. not to eat fast food C. to eat more fruits every day D. to eat enough foods rich in potassiumBBelow is a page adapted from the 7th Edition of Oxford Advanced Learners English-Chinese Dictionary.The Oxford 3000The keywords of the Oxford 3000 have been carefully selected by a gro

30、up of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness. The selection is based on three criteria.The words which occur most frequently in English are included, based on the information in the British N

31、ational Corpus and the Oxford Corpus Collection. (A corpus is an electronically held collection of written or spoken texts, often consisting of hundreds of millions of words.) However, being frequent in the corpus alone is not enough for a word to qualify as a keyword: it may be that the word is use

32、d very frequently, but only in a narrowly defined area, such as newspapers or scientific articles. In order to avoid including these restricted words, we include as keywords only those words which are frequent across a range of different types of text. In other words, keywords are both frequent and

33、used in a variety of contexts. In addition, the list includes some very important words which happen not to be used frequently, even though they are very familiar to most users of English. These include, for example, words for parts of the body, words used in travel, and words which are useful for e

34、xplaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something. These words were identified by consulting a panel of over seventy experts in the fields of teaching and language study.The words of the Oxford 3000 are shown in the main section of the dictionary in larger print, and with a k

35、ey symbol () immediately following. The entries for keywords often have extra information in the form of more examples of use, special notes explaining synonyms or related words, or helpful illustrations. This means that the keywords make an excellent starting point for expanding your vocabulary. Wi

36、th most keywords, there is far more to learn about them than the first meaning in the entry: often these words have many meanings, have a large family of words derived from them, or are used in a variety of patterns. All of this means that each one of the keywords repays close study.The list covers

37、British and American English. It is arranged to emphasize the connections between words, so that words which are very closely related (including adverbs ending in -ly and opposites starting with un-) are grouped together. Some basic phrases are also included. Proper names (names of people, places, e

38、tc. beginning with a capital letter) and numbers are not included in the main list.A separate list of words which are important for language study, but less important in everyday life, follows the main list on page R158. Knowing these words will help you to understand more of the information given i

39、n the entries, especially regarding the words grammar and register (whether it is formal, informal, etc.).In order to make the definitions in this dictionary easy to understand, we have written them using the keywords of the Oxford 3000. All words used in normal definition text are keywords, or are

40、on the list of language study terms. Numbers and proper names are also used in definitions. When it has been necessary to use a specialist term which is not in the Oxford 3000, the word is shown in SMALL CAPITALS. If you do not know the meaning of this word, look it up in the dictionary: it will hel

41、p you to understand the definition that you are interested in, and will probably be a useful word to learn because it will be related to the original word you looked up.46. The main purpose of the passage is to tell the readers _. A. an introduction of the Oxford 3000 B. three criteria of the select

42、ion of the Oxford 3000 C. the keywords of the Oxford 3000 D. the arrangement of the dictionary47. According to the passage, the keywords of the Oxford 3000 _. A. only include the words which are used frequently in English B. include the words that are not only frequent but also used in various conte

43、xts C. dont include the words that are not used frequently D. include the words being frequent in the corpus alone48. Which of the following would not be covered in the list of the Oxford 3000? A. Some basic phrases. B. Proper names. C. Adverbs ending in ly. D. Opposites starting with un-.49. If a w

44、ord is shown in SMALL CAPITALS, it means _. A. the word is very important to be stood out B. the word has extra information C. it helps readers easy to understand the meaning D. a specialist term has been used for necessary needsC I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in

45、 a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(災(zāi)難) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come t

46、o love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe,

47、asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a poten

48、tial to live, you might call it-which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the r

49、est of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in

50、 the sweeping, intricate（錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "

51、I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball

52、. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I k
