閱讀理解 　　The goddess Hera, determined to make trouble for Hercules, made him lose his mind．In a confused and angry state, he killed his own wife and children． 　　When he awakened from his "temporary insanity", Hercules was shocked and upset by what he'd done．He prayed to the god Apollo for guidance, and the god's oracle told him he would have to serve Eurystheus, the king of Tiryns and Mycenae, for twelve years, in punishment for the murders． 　　As part of his sentence, Hercules had to perform twelve Labors, feats so difficult that they seemed impossible．Fortunately, Hercules had the help of Hermes and Athena, sympathetic deities(神性)who showed up when he really needed help．By the end of these Labors, Hercules was, without a doubt, Greece's greatest hero． 　　His struggles made Hercules the perfect embodiment(體現(xiàn))of an idea the Greeks called pathos, the experience of virtuous struggle and suffering which would lead to fame and, in Hercules' case, immortality． (1) Why did Hercules kill his own wife and children? [　　] A． He was cruel and cold-blooded． B． He disagreed with his wife and children． C． He was mentally disordered． D． He was caught by Hera's trick． (2) Whom did Hercules turn to for guidance? [　　] A． Hera． B． Apollo． C． Eurystheus． D． His relatives． (3) Which of following statement about the punishment for Hercules is false? [　　] A． It lasts 12 years． B． It means a service for Eurystheus． C． It is made because of Hercules guilt． D． It is too easy for Hercules to bear． (4) According to the underlined word "pathos" in the last paragraph, what can you infer Hercules stands for? [　　] A． Hercules stands for temporary insanity． B． Hercules stands for murder． C． Hercules stands for hard work and struggle． D． Hercules stands for pity and sadness．

With the National College Entrance Examination drawing closer, Senior 3 students will do almost anything to ensure success – even change what they eat. More than 70 percent of high – scoring students in last year’s exam admitted taking “brain food”, according to a survey conducted by the Shanghai Hercules Teens Research Center last August. However, only 30 percent of them said they would do this again.

Experts say that, as long as they eat properly, teens will have no problem getting enough nutrition from their daily food.

So what should you be eating? A good start is to eat foods that give you a variety of nutrients. For each meal, choose several kinds of food from each of these groups:

* Vegetables;

* Fruits;

* Bread, cereals, noodles and rice;

* Milk, yogurt and cheese;

* Meat, poultry, fish, fried beans and peas, eggs and nuts.

You can eat healthily without giving up your favourite foods, but you should limit the fat you eat to keep your cholesterol （膽固醇） low. Only animal fat provides cholesterol, which is known to cause heart problems. Most people like the taste of table sugar, so there are sweeteners “hidden” in many foods like soft drinks, cookies, and so on.

If you have high – energy needs, sweets can be a useful source of calories but they contain limited nutrients and can cause tooth decay （腐壞）.

When eating out, look for boiled or baked rather than fried foods. And try eating milk – based high – calcium （鈣） foods instead of creamy items to reduce the fat and calories you take in. The teenage body changes quickly, so your attitude towards nutrition now can make a big difference to your health in years to come.

1．Many Senior 3 students take “brain food”         .

       A．to deal with heavy workloads

       B．to perform better in college entrance exam

       C．to have enough food and water

       D．to improve their health

2．What is eating properly, according to experts?

       A．Keeping away from animal fat.

       B．Having a balanced diet.

       C．Eating foods that supply high energy.

       D．Choosing vegetables and fruits only.

3．Which of the following statements about sweeteners is wrong?

       A．They can be found in soft drinks and cookies.

       B．They contain limited nutrients.

       C．Eating too many of them may hurt your teeth.

       D．Sweetener is another way of saying table sugar.

4．What is important to your health, according to the last paragraph?

My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our work was strictly done at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our business to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners as usual. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “Am I going to die?” He replied, “Finally.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Graz, Austria on July 30, 1947. He enjoyed playing sports as a child, and he began lifting weights to build up his strength for soccer and swimming.

Then, when he was around 15 year old, he started to lift weights seriously for the purpose of body building. He also began competing in body building competitions in England at this time. When he was18, he won the Junior Mr. Europe competition. Then, he later won Mr. Olympia.

In 1968, when he was 21 years old, Mr. Schwarzenegger went to the United States. He continued to enter and win body building competitions. But he also started a company which helped build brick walls and building in order to earn extra money. He called his company Pumping Bricks.

In 1970, he made a comedy (喜劇) called Hercules in New York. For the movie, he changed his name to Arnold Strong instead of using his real name. This was his first acting job. In 1973, he showed up in a small part in another movie called The Long Goodbye.

Mr. Schwarzenegger finally decided that he was through with body building in the late 1970s after he had won 13 world championships (錦標(biāo)賽). For eight years in a row, he was the world champion (冠軍) body builder. Around the time of his retirement from body building, he made another film called Pumping Iron, in which the body builder played himself.

He finally decided that his future was in acting, even though many people did not think that the body builder with the funny way of speaking was cut out for acting. It was not until movies like Conan and Terminator made millions of dollars that Hollywood began to see Arnold Schwarzenegger as a real actor.
