Fat on human body is distributed in two different ways. Some fat people have a large51and no waistline, looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking52like pears.

Doctors in Cambridge, England, have been examining the53between health and fat distribution. They find that the pear-shaped fat people have fewer problems54the apple-shaped fat people. What seems to be most important is not how much fat you have but55you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped women and pear-shaped women with X-ray scanners. Human beings have two56of fat : one is outside fat, that is the fat below the skin, and the other is inside fat that57inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the “apples” have a large58of inside fat. 

If this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it will probably cause59problems such as obesity. The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the60there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.

According to the passage, insurance business is profitable because_____ .

Insurance premiums do not become too high because_____ .

Passage 2 

Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea;the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea.If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who administer the pool of contributions as the insurers. 

The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form.of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay a named sum of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss if the risk or event the insured against actually happens. 

The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured. 

26. By “the pool of contributions” (Para.1) the writer means_____ .

A policy is_____.

We can infer from the text that .

Wha,s the main idea of the text?

Passage 2 

Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred,why do you teach ?”Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life. ” Even though I was sincere, that wasn ,t a very good answer and my student didn, t let it slide. 

“Let me get this straight,” he said.“You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused.I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. 

 Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days,I remind myself of the real reasons I teach. 

It,s in my blood.My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. 

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can ’ t have ripples without a ‘‘stone”. Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference,and that’s what I strive to do. 

I genuinely love teenagers.

I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs,and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life,I want to do so. If they , ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. 

Teaching isn’t for everyone,but I know I made the right career choice. 

26. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writers being a teacher?

According to the text,which of the following is NOT true?
