Last week I noticed Jack coughing on our math class. See this, I offered to take him to a clinic. There the doctor asked Jack how he had coughed sometimes for long time. Jack nodded his head immediate. The doctor then wrote a prescription with instruction on how to take the Chinese medicine. When Jack tasted the medicine, he almost brings it up. I comforted him with an old saying “Good medicine for health tastes bitter to the mouth”. Jack managed to swallow them unwillingly. But when he had recovered three days later, he felt amazing at the effect of the Chinese medicine.

My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, 1. I found some very good Chinese restaurants.
That was the first time that I 2. (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why 3. has this special feature.
Many years ago, China had 4. energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This 5. (lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their 6. (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables 7. small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked 8. (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food 9. (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor — and it’s this flavor 10. attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

Researchers in the United States say eating less can slow the aging process of cells in the body. The researchers studied mice, not people.
1. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The other animals in the other group were limited to eat. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.
The mice with the diet restrictions (限制) were more energetic and suffered fewer diseases. They were not just living longer, they seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time. When you restrict calories (in mice), there is a direct increase in lifespan—the average age of the animal.2.
But how? The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes (核糖体). Ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down.3. This, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.
Earlier studies have suggested a link between calorie restrictions and slowed aging.4.
Calorie restriction as a way to slow aging has not been tested in humans. But the main finding for people is the importance of taking care of our bodies.5. And this may help us make better decisions about what we eat.
A. The less we eat, the healthier we are.
B. Researchers studied two groups of mice.C. This finding is good news if you are a mouse.
D. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.
E. The findings help to explain how exactly our bodies age.
F. However, this is first to show how the ribosomes can influence aging.
G. Calorie restriction caused real biochemical changes that slowed down the rate of aging.
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food (垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics (化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $ 10 million houses.
1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A. To save customers time. B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To help sell junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices.
2.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning. B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C. Inviting customers to play music. D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business practices.
