Dear headmaster,

As president of Sullivan Junior High School's student council, I have been chosen to write to you on behalf of the eighth grade class. We would like to propose an eighth grade promotion trip to Sea World in San Diego, California.

We chose Sea World for several reasons. In science class, we have been studying oceans and the marine life. Going to Sea World would provide us with the opportunity to visit these creatures and to better understand their habitats. This could be a once in a lifetime experience for those of us who have never been outside Arizona. We will have lots of fun and learn at the same time.

The close location of San Diego was also a factor in planning this trip. San Diego can be reached by bus in about six hours. If the buses leave Sullivan after school on Friday afternoon, we should arrive in California in time to have a late dinner and get settled into our hotel rooms before midnight. You may be asking yourself, \host an \of Fun\night for family, friends, and community members for a small fee. The activities would be organized and supervised by eighth grade students. Some of our ideas for the night include a Surfer's Snack Shop with homemade treats for sale, Pirate Pete's Treasure hunt, and a short production of \

Many of the eighth grade students have gone to school together since kindergarten. We believe that this trip would be a fantastic way to celebrate friendships. This trip may also be one of the last times we see our friends because students from Sullivan Junior High School attend four different high schools.

We invite you to our next student council meeting on December 7, to discuss your thoughts and work out any concerns you still may have. Thank you for taking the time to consider our request for an eighth-grade promotion trip.

Sincerely, Julie Martino 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。

33. Who has written this letter? What is she?

34. What idea has the author mainly expressed in paragraph 4? 35. Why has the author written this letter?

36. Why does the author mention that many students have gone to school together since kindergarten in paragraph 5?

五、短文7选5(5选5等)（共4小题；共8分）

Now there is an increasing number of inactive people, namely the \potato\A mouse potato is someone who sits in front of his or her computer all day and eats junk food instead of regular meals. Why are we becoming potatoes and what can we do to avoid it?

One reason behind it is our modern way of life. We don't have as much time to prepare and eat food as we used to. 37. Not all of these are bad for us, of course, but they make it more difficult for us to control what we eat.

If we want to be healthy, we should make good choices about what we eat. It is not necessary to become a vegetarian, but we must make sure that our diet is varied and balanced. A healthy diet should give us the calories we need but not contain too much fat and sugar. The number of calories our body needs depends on what our body type is, how much we weigh and how active we are.

Teenagers need about 2,500 calories a day. 38. Getting the calories we need is not enough. If we want to be healthy, we must make sure that we get the calories in the best way possible. The best source for calories is carbohydrates, which are found in gains, vegetables and fruit. Our bodies store carbohydrates in our muscles so that we can get energy when we need it.

Junk food has a lot of calories but few nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Some food does have nutrients, for example pizza, but because it contains too many calories, it is still called junk food. A healthy diet should include a variety of food, most of which should be rich in nutrients. 39. Those of us who love French fries, sweets, ice cream and cheeseburgers can still enjoy an unhealthy bite every now and then. All we have to do is to be careful how often and how much we eat of it.

If we make the right choices about what we eat, we will be healthier and have more energy to enjoy the good things in life. 40. And remember, it is better to eat a potato than to be one. A. Choosing what to eat is no longer as easy as it once was.

B. That does not mean that we are never allowed to eat junk food. C. A balance diet combined with exercise is the recipe for a healthy life. D. Girls usually need a bit less and people who play sports may need more. E. A large breakfast, one containing about 700 calories, will help lose weight.

F. Fast food restaurants are everywhere and supermarket shelves are filled with ready-made

prepared dishes.
