At the age of 16, Einstein was always busy playing with a group of mischievous (顽皮捣蛋的) kids. He failed his final exam.
One morning, when Einstein was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said calmly, “Einstein, you enjoyed playing all day so that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”
“What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing?”
“My boy, you can’t think like that.” his dad said. “There is a fable(寓言故事) that people tell in our hometown, Listen to it now.”
“There were two cats playing on the roof (屋顶). One cat carelessly fell down the chimney(烟囱) while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot（烟灰）on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the root – faced cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its face. The soot-faced cat saw the clean-faced cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just walked on the street proudly as usual.”
“Einstein, no one can be you ‘mirror(镜子)’. You have to think for yourself. If you just follow others, you will never learn.”

Fraser Island is in Queensland, Australia, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. It is about 120 kilometres long and 240 kilometers wide. It is a very important is land because it is completely made of sand, but there is a long beach along the east coast. Planes arrive and leave from here.
The sand makes unusual shapes. There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedral and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.

About 500,00 people visit the island every year to see the island’s beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking there. Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage（毁坏）plants and frighten（惊吓）animals. Their sun cream（防晒霜）makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. For example, people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes, and they need official papers to drive there. 29. Why is Fraser Island a very important island? A. Because it is made of sand.

VI 阅读理解 （二）（本题共6小题，每小题2分，共12分） 阅读下面短文， 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 Passage 5
80% of teens don’t get enough exercise
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that 80% of the world's' teens don't get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report, which was published in the Lancet, was based on research done with students aged 11-17 in 146 different countries. The WHO has been studying teen activity levels since 2001 and reports that not much has changed since then.
The WHO says that kids should get at least an hour of medium to hard exercise every day. This could include walking, running, biking, dancing, playing sports, or many other activities.
More and more research is showing that exercise doesn't just help the body, it can help the brain, too, improving thinking, test scores, and school grades.
One big reason for the lack (不足) of activity in today's teens is technology, such as smartphones, computers, and TVs. Many teens find it very hard for them to pull themselves away from their devices (设备)，whether they are texting, playing games, or watching videos or movies. The WHO warns that young people need to do less playing in the digital (数码的) world, and more playing in the real world.
Health experts want schools and families to encourage teens to be more active. Teens should take part in sports, whether on official teams or just playing around in the playground.
Experts believe that it's very important for young people to fall into these habits now, because the positive effects (积极影响) of those habits can carry on into adult (成年的) life. Studies show that the best way to tell how active someone will be as an adult is to look at how active he was as a teen.
59. According to the WHO, what is the worldwide problem for teens?
_______________________________________________________________________________ 60. What is the WHO’s suggestion?
_______________________________________________________________________________ 61. Why is exercise very important?
