    Food is so much a part of daily life that people often take eating for granted. 1.Now is a good time for you to think carefully about this question: What kinds of needs does food meet?

2. Food supplies the energy needed for day-to-day activities. Eating the right foods each day helps your body perform important functions.

Physical needs are not the only ones people satisfy by eating every day. People often eat even when they are not hungry. Some people eat to comfort themselves whenever they are upset or nervous. 3.

Food serves social needs as well as physical and emotional ones. People often combine eating with the company of friends and family because both experiences are pleasurable. In some families, mealtime is the only time of day that the whole family can be together. 4.Many social occasions are associated with specific foods---birthday cakes, Thanksgiving turkeys, or Fourth of July cookouts. 5.

A. Food also plays an important role in keeping social traditions.

B. Food has many purposes.

C. They are not even aware of their own eating habit.

    Do you enjoy eating ketchup on your fries? If so, you must like the essential ingredient in the sauces, tomatoes. The tomato originally comes from South America and has been eaten by people there for thousands of years. Today, tomatoes are popular all over the world. However, when they were first introduced, there was quite a bit of controversy and apprehension surrounding them.

Tomatoes were first planted by the Aztecs (阿兹特克人)in Central America. In fact, ancient Aztec writings mention recipes for dishes of tomatoes. Spanish soldiers conquered the Aztecs and brought tomato seeds back with them to Europe. In Europe, these yellowish tomatoes were first called “apples of gold “. For a long time, people in Northern Europe and North America did not eat these “apples of gold”. The tomato plant looked similar to the nightshade plant, a deadly poison, so they were afraid to eat them. German people even thought that if someone ate tomatoes, he or she would change into a werewolf(狼人). But finally, by the mid-1800s people all over the world had accepted the tomato.

However, the tomato was due for more controversy. Do you think the tomato is a fruit or vegetable? Actually the tomato is a fruit. But in America, the tomato is a vegetable by law. Why is the tomato legally a vegetable in America? In the 1800s, there was no import tax in fruit from other countries. At that time, many tomatoes were coming from other countries into America, and American tomatoes farmers became worried about making a living. The government made the tomato a vegetable by law so that non-American tomatoes would be taxed.

Actually, it is easy to tell that the tomatoes is really a fruit. Cut into a tomato and look inside. You can see many seeds in the center, which is one sign of a fruit. In fact, tomatoes are similar to strawberries. Both have seeds inside, and both grow from the flowers of a plant. And both have delicious flesh surrounding the seeds. Tomatoes and strawberries are actually in the same family.

    This year I’m buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day. And the whole thing’s only going to cost me £150.

I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to leave me from home and cared little for me from then, which taught me a real lesson.

We’re very careful now and we don’t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.

We’ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends’ husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn’t work, they have no money coming in.

Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that’s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil’s salary for our essential bills.

We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations already, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we’re not going to. We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.

After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.

D. She would like to buy a new Christmas tree for this Christmas.

3.The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ______ .

A. why the author has been very careful with money

B. how she finished her education of high school

C. where she earned her first money in her teens

D. when she left home and got married to her husband

B. nobody but the author was worried about the rising prices

C. the author has never been worried about losing jobs

D. the author and those around her are suffering from the financial crisis

    It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

Japan

High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles and vegetables.

Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers at the end of the month receives a prize.

United States

A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.

Australia

Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.

Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.

In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.

South Africa

Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.

Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

1.We can infer from the text that __________.

A. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school

B. School children all over the world dislike their school food.

C. Food served in the US is the best of all

D. Schools serve different foods from country to country.

4.The text is written for _______.

A. students of your age B. schoolmasters

C. school lunch sellers D. parents

阅读下面短文，并按短文后面的要求答题。

Recently, I told my 7-year-old grandson that I wouldn’t get to see him for a week because I was going away on business. He knows I often travel, but the “business” part caught  his attention.

“Can’t you write your articles at your house?” he asked. He knows I write some articles each week. “I’m not writing on this trip,” I said. “I’m speaking; it’s part of my job.”

For many years, my children knew me as simply their mother.

In kindergarten (幼儿园), when asked to tell his class about his family, my oldest child said, “My dad teaches chemistry and coaches basketball. And my mom drives us to his games.”

My own mother worked as a waitress to put food on the table and second-hand shoes on our feet. I was proud of all she did, but I loved her most for being my mother.

The best way to think of someone is never by their job description; it’s a celebration of the reasons why they’re loved and the ways they make the world a better place.

My children lost their father to cancer when they were just becoming adults. They admired  him greatly as a teacher and a coach. But they loved him most for simply being their dad.

We are defined ( 界 定 ) not only by our job, but also how we treat people we work with and

deal with along the way.

I’m thankful for my job. But I’d like to be known to my family and friends and myself for the reasons that they love me and the ways I try to make their world a better place.

    Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud.1. After walking into a store, it’s possible that you’ll see Huawei smartphones for sale. This isn’t referring to  China, but Manchester, UK.2.Indeed, Chinese  products have gone global.

3.But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat”, said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”

4.In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China, but designed and developed in  the country.

In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things  have changed greatly.5.“For  example,  Huawei,  one  of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year,” noted consulting firm Counterpoint Research.

A. Many Chinese brands (品牌) are also becoming more popular.

B. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.

C. “Made in China” has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands.

D. Meanwhile, international brands are still enjoying great success in China.

E. Turning to the right, you may see a Sichuan-style restaurant.

F. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities around the world.

G. What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands?

    Today, with the increasing use of social media, teachers and students have greater access to one's personal history than ever before.

While social media users in education argue that teacher-student connection on social networks are harmless, Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist (精神科医生) in Beverly Hills, Calif., believes any one-on-one private relationship out of the classroom begs for improper behavior to begin. Iris Fanning, a family-counseling provider ( 家庭关系咨询师) for school districts in Albuquerque, N.M., says major concerns arise when students begin to see teachers as friends. “When I entered education, there was a clear wall of boundaries ( 边 界 ) between students and teachers,” Fanning says. “You still have to have those boundaries, and I think we've got away from that.”

In response to some of the possible threats of social media, some school districts are now limiting after-school dialogue between students and teachers.

“I think teachers should be allowed to add us on social media because that's how we communicate,” says Brown, a high school senior in Ohio, who hasn't befriended any of her teachers on social networks. “But I also think that some teachers would cross the line. I do agree that it needs watching over but they shouldn't be cut off completely.”

Most recently, in Missouri, the state passed Senate Bill 54, which bans students  and teachers from having any connections on social media. The bill was created as a strong measure to protect children from entering into improper relationships with teachers. Dave Childers, head teacher at ACEL Fresno Charter High School in California, says it's disheartening to see laws  that limit the ability for teachers to connect with students through social media. “We could go as far as saying teachers shouldn’t be allowed to coach sports or advise a club, because when you  do that you have extra connections and stronger relationships,” he notes.

This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country's most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.

The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.

“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core ( 核 心 ) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories.”

And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.

1.The main purpose of the opening paragraph is to  .

A. give a brief account of the film B. warn people of the coming threat

C. explore ways to avoid the disaster D. introduce the topic of the passage

2.The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to  .

A. fleeing the Earth in spaceships B. bringing in huge success

C. filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies D. helping Earth make its escape

3.Which of the following is unlikely to account for the success of the film?

A. The rich imagination of the story. B. Hollywood-style space stories.

C. The special cultural background. D. The time chosen to release the film.

4.What is likely to be title for the passage?

A. Chinese Sci-fi Catches Up B. The Most Successful Chinese Sci-fi

C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood
