    I remember that every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home in the little envelope.

“For the rent.” Mama would say, counting out the big silver pieces.

“For the groceries.” Another pile of coins.

“Teacher says this week I'll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side.

We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask,” Is that all?” When Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile,” Good. We do not have to go to the Bank downtown.” We were all so proud of Mama's Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling. No one else we knew had money in a big bank downtown.

I remember when the Jensens down the street were put out because they couldn't pay their rent. We children watched the big strange men carry out the furniture, ignoring the tears of Mrs. Jensens. “Might this, could this, happen to us?”

“We have a Bank Account.” Mama comforted me calmly, and suddenly I could breathe again.

Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon.

That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama's and put it in her lap.” For you, I said,” to put in your Bank Account.” I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mama's hair was silver now.

Mama fingered the check and looked at Papa.” Good,” she said, and her eyes were proud.

“Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.”

“You will go with me, Katrin? But...”Mama stopped for a moment and looked at me.

“There is no account,” she continued. “In all my life, I've never been inside a bank.”

And when I didn't-couldn't-answer, Mama said seriously. “It is not good for little ones to be afraid-to not feel secure.”

1.What can we learn about the family twenty years ago?

A.They lived downtown. B.They were badly in debt.

C.They had money in the bank. D.They were careful with money.

2.What happened to the Jensens made the children feel

    Growing up in America, I enjoyed the convenience of eating the most attractive, well-packaged foods of the 20th century, including all the candies we often see near the cash register.

During those times I wasn't aware how bad sugar was, and in fact, neither was anyone around me. So I continued to spread jam on my toast and eat ice cream daily.

Strangely enough, I felt that sweet was some sort of wonderful drug: it gave me the energy to function properly, to feel good and to perform at my best, all of which seemed necessary for growth. So why avoid it?

Years later, huge food companies, like General Mills and Post, began pumping more sugar into their products, and then more and more people appeared with bigger bellies. It finally came to my awareness that our society was becoming more miserable and unfit. And from what?

From sugar!

I began to do some research into sugar and what it did exactly to our bodies. To my amazement, I found its damage was just as bad as, if not worse than, what alcohol and cigarettes brought about. You see, when you take in more sugar than you need or burn, your body and brain become over-active. This, in effect, causes your cognitive abilities to slow down, your mood to get to the extremes, your skin to age faster, your blood to become thicker and your liver and kidneys to be worn out.

But what surprised me most, out of all of these horrible side effects, was that sugar adds extra pounds to your waistline, even if you do exercise regularly. And what I've always wanted, for the past few years, is to remove that extra fat around my “love handles” so that I could finally see my abs(腹肌).

I just didn't know, this whole time, what damage I had been doing to myself and my dreams, but I knew I had to do something. Something I had never done before.

1.What did the writer mean by “wonderful drug” in the third paragraph?

A.Sugar could be a cure for some diseases. B.He benefited a lot from consuming sugar.

C.Sugar could make his life more convenient. D.He had a better relationship with his friends.

2.Why did huge food companies add more sugar into their products?

A.To satisfy the taste of the general population. B.To encourage people to eat more properly.

C.To meet the requirements for food safety. D.To raise awareness of keeping healthy.

3.What did the writer find in his research?

A.Sugar causes much less harm than alcohol. B.Sugar lovers gain no weight with exercise.

C.Sugar lovers experience changeable moods. D.Sugar reduces people's ability to understand.

4.After the passage, the writer will most probably write about         

A.how he dreams big B.how he takes exercise

C.how he cuts sugar D.how he stops skin aging

    New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees. 

A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas.

The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.

Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press,” This technology is thousands of years old-the dog's nose. We've just trained dogs to hunt new prey. ”

Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected(感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. ”The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic(流行病)by removing infected trees, ”Gottwald said.

Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.

Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant's reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.

Gottwald said, “You've seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”

1.According to the research, trained dogs can

A.help infected trees recover from diseases

B.recognize a crop disease in its early stage

C.cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual

D.reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees

2.What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Infected plants. B.Fruit trees. C.Tiny insects. D.Favourite foods.

3.Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants?

A.To further prove the findings. B.To explore the plant diseases.

C.To present different opinions. D.To discover a plant's reactions.

4.How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method?

A.Doubtful. B.Confident. C.Uninterested. D.Curious.
