This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calories is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1C. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the table below shows. Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for running than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.

Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make-especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, its a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell-phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send message or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phone.,Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. iPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your childrens education? Maybe they do. Thats the opinion of Dong Johnson, an educator for 30 years. Johnson says that education should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell-phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jokes. “I dont think we should be afraid. The truth is that its easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”,45.Why do parents agree to buy their children cell-phones?

D) iPods can be helpful for childrens education.48. We can infer from what Doug Johnson said that _. A) teachers should let students use cell-phones B) cell-phones are not useful to students C) its better for teachers to change their teaching methods D) schoolchildren should follow the trend (潮流) of fashion,Passage ThreeQuestions 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.,Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.,Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.,49.

B) Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around. C) Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place. D) Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.,52. It can be inferred from the passage that the reason why even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive is _. A) that they are easy to steal B) that they themselves are expensive, too C) that they are not easy to carry around D) that they are difficult for people to obtain53.
