阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes?anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated(复杂的) idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony(嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times.(How, after all, could one read a book more than once?)And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length.(Could anything shorter be a book?)
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.”“More than anything else in my life,”the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition(迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
【小题1】On hearing the teacher’s suggestion of reading, the writer thought ________.
A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read
【小题2】 While at high school, the writer ________.
A. had plans for reading
B. learned to educate himself
C. only read books over 100 pages
D. read only one book several times
【小题3】 The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ________.
A. explain why it was included in the list
B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word
【小题4】The writer provides two book lists to ________.
A. show how he developed his point of view
B. tell his reading experience at high school
C. introduce the two persons’ reading methods
D. explain that he read many books at high school

?Reflecting on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of "What if?" is no way to live. But there are a few things in life I’d probably do differently if I had the chance.
?I once majored in architecture ? something I had been crazy about for as long as I could remember ? and then I suddenly had a change of heart. I made an appointment with my adviser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.
?"Don’t give up on your childhood dream!" "He’s right," I thought. "I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture."
?It was awful. I was agonized, holding on to a childhood dream that had long since faded.? When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: "Right now, what do you want to do with your life?" That’s when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if it’s not what you want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasn’t something I had always imagined myself pursuing ? but at that moment, it was what I wanted.
?We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change ? and that’s perfectly OK. You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, "Is this still what I want?" If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.
【小题1】What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?
?A. Past actions should be treasured.
?B. It’s unwise to regret all the time.
?C. Life would be dull without "What if?".
?D. We make better decisions by looking back.
【小题2】Why didn’t the author change her major immediately?
?A. Changing a major was uncommon.
?B. Her advisor forced her not to do that.
?C. She thought it a betrayal of her younger self.
?D. She didn’t want her childhood dream to fade.
【小题3】What lesson did the author learn from the experience?
?A. Don’t follow others’ career advice.
?B. It’s OK to switch to our real love.
?C. Improve us before realizing our dream.
?D. Childhood dreams are hard to insist on.

?Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin (胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.
?How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered high-GI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.
?Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics (糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.
?What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes and cancers (Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.). Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.
?Skins from green bananas can be taken and, after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.
【小题1】 What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1 & 2?
?A. Bananas are likely to make people fat.
?B. Insulin determines the amount of sugar.
?C. Low-GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.
?D. The faster the food becomes sugar, the less insulin.
【小题2】What does the author say about bananas?
?A. Including bananas in diets is good for health.
?B. Bananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.
?C. Eating organic bananas protect people from strokes.
?D. Bananas’ abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.
【小题3】What is discussed in the last paragraph?
?A. The use of banana skins.
?B. The benefits of banana skins.
?C. The importance of banana skins.
?D. The ways of choosing organic bananas.
【小题4】In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?
?A. Education. ? B. Health. ? C. Culture. ? D. Science.
