How to make Quick Decisions For Your Life

We make decisions every day. 1.When it comes to making decisions, choosing the right one can at times be stressful, especially if the decision must be made quickly. Indecision often weighs us down, but there are some useful tips for making quick decisions more easily.

2.Sometimes the key to making a quick decision comes down to planning ahead of time for just such an occasion. We all know we’re going to come to an important decision-making point sooner or later, so having a plan already in hand can put our mind at ease when that time comes.

Overcome fear. 3.While it may seem difficult to overcome the fear of making the wrong choice, many experts agree that we shouldn’t be afraid to make the wrong decision, even if it seems important. The vast majority of wrong decisions can be corrected, while delaying decisions can often lead to more problems.

Write down all the advantages and disadvantages of your decision. Even if you don’t have all the information, writing down all the pros and cons（优缺点） is a good starting point for figuring out what to do. In cases where there simply isn’t enough time to write things down, make a mental list in your mind. Thinking of the pros and cons can help you organize your thoughts. 4.

Determine criteria. Remember that every decision you make should come with a certain list of criteria.5.But once you know the requirements you’re looking for, making a decision will become easier. Look for the choice that satisfies the list you’ve made, and once that choice is found, you should move ahead with it.

A. Have a plan.

B. The list may be short or quite long.

C. Communicate your decision with others.

D. And this can always lead to a clear answer.

E. So cut out any options that you know you will not choose.

F. Often, one thing that keeps us from making decisions is fear.

G. Some can be very important while others are not serious in the long run.

According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.

The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.

The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science. Show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.

Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent – the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.

“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”

Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human being, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.

“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” Morton said.

1.According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?

A. They have large brains.

B. They can recognize their owners.

C. They can tell animals from humans.

D. They can recognize human faces from photograph.

2.How did the researchers train the sheep?

A. By guiding them to follow their handlers.

B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.

C. By giving food rewards.

D. By showing photos of famous people.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.

B. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.

C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability says the same when shown photos at any angle.

D. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. A New discovery about Sheep. B. How Sheep Recognize Each Other.

C. A Wonderful Scientist. D. The Life of Sheep.

A California family drives a car that could help protect the environment. When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters’ soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a $1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the world’s most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars. The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline.

And then what is fuel cell technology? Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which comes out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming. “The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but without the gases which pollute the environment,” scientists say. Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use. Another earth-friendly car is already on the market. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are becoming more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.

1.Which of the following about the FCX is not true?

A. It lets out dangerous gases to pollute the air.

B. It may be the most expensive car in the world.

C. It is one of the most environmentally friendly cars.

D. It uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel other than gasoline.

2.According to the passage, what is the major cause for global warming?

A. gases from FCX. B. gases from cars.

C. hydrogen and oxygen. D. water vapor from cars.

3.From the passage, we know that fuel cell technology _______.

A. works by water B. works by electricity

C. has been widely used since the 1800s D. has a history for over two hundred years

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. there will be no gasoline for cars.

B. global warming has been stopped.

C. people can’t afford to buy cars in the future.

D. future cars will be environmentally friendly.

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.

My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.

I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.

I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.

1.Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?

A. Because people use them when they feel sad

B. Because they express regrets and disappointment in life

C. Because the remind the writer of some sad experiences

D. Because they mean sadness in the English language

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3?

A. given up B. come across

C. got through D. held back

3.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.

A. see a doctor B. finish her work

C. join a celebration D. accompany her father

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Advice from My Father B. Avoidance of saying “If Only”

C. The “Extra Minute” Rule D. The importance of Emotional Well-being

Recently, we have had a instructive discussion on how to make English learning relaxing and interesting. It’s all too natural that we had come up with a lot of advices concerning the topic. Firstly, we can have more interactive activities that makes English learning great fun in class and it is generally considered not a little beneficially to us all. Secondly, we need to find more chances to communicating with people in English, whether they are English teachers and classmates, because using English is the best way to learn. As it is known to all, practice makes perfect.

In my eyes, there are many other ways like listening ∧ English songs, watching English movies, joining English clubs or making pen friends on the Internet. That we need most is more time and more space.

It doesn’t take much to break a student budget-accommodation costs can do it before term even starts. Due to unrealistic costs and lack of money-management skills, many students face and experience some degree of financial stress or hardship. The following steps can help you get back on track.

1. First, list everything you need to pay for over the next few months, from rent and bills to bus fares, laundry costs and your TV licence. The more detailed, the better. Next, reorder the list by importance. Essential items should be at the top.

Predict the problems. The trouble with running out of cash is that it has consequences, and it’s better to know what they are. It could mean no ready-made lunches for a while, or cutting back on transport costs. This is an opportunity to find free alternatives, spot ways to save cash, or mentally prepare to go without. Some course or home expenses are harder to hide. 2..

Talk to the right people. 3. Get in touch as soon as possible. Ask your uni’s student money advisor about budgeting, hardship funds or specialist support. The welfare office or your GP can advise if money worries affect your diet, sleep or mental health. Keep your course tutor informed, too. Talking can help relieve stress.

4. If you don t have a plan for spending it, extra cash wont be the magic bullet you expect. Doing the steps above first will help you see the bigger picture, and can lead you to appropriate funding. If you have a job, extra shifts may help. You can also shift any unloved clothes, books and gadgets (小玩具) for cash.

Borrow wisely. You may need to borrow money to get by, but always try to take the best option for your finances and wellbeing. Family or university loans are safer, so investigate them first. 5. If you’re not on top of your finances, get advice before using them, especially before talking commercial or payday loans. However you borrow, compare the total cost with interest, along with charges or consequences for late repayment. Plan how you’ll repay the money as soon as possible and consider how that will affect your other finances.

A. Find extra income.

B. Consider costs first.

C. Improve your money skills.

D. Spend your funding appropriately.

E. There are people out there who can help you cope.

F. The next step will help figure out how to cope with them.

G. Credit cards have their benefits, but also more potential for extra costs.

Research shows that splashing the cash can increase feelings of pleasure-but it depends on who you spend it on. According to a growing body of evidence, it seems that it can. But what makes us really happy is not buying ourselves the latest iPhone, but splashing our cash on other people. In a study published last week, looking at the link between generosity and happiness, researchers from Zurich University divided 50 participants into two groups and asked them to publicly promise how they would spend a monthly donation. One group was asked to spend 25 Swiss francs a week on gifts or outings for other people, and the second group was asked to spend it on themselves.

Levels of happiness were measured on a subjective scale before and after the commitment. Those in the first group who promised generously increased their happiness more than the group who planned to buy themselves treats.

Participants then underwent an MRI scan to see which bits of the brain were the most active during generous acts. During the scan, participants were asked to work out how they would like to spend money on a person of their choice. Some of the choices involved participants having to pay extra out of their own pocket to give a gift. For example, they were told they would have to pay 20 francs in order for the receiver of their generosity to get 15 francs. There is a part of the brain—the temporo-parietal junction (头顶骨结合点)—that neuroscientists say is associated with generosity,as well as one linked with happiness—the ventral striatum (脑纹状体). When people made generous decisions in this study, both areas of the brain showed increased activity. The researchers conclude that their findings have important implications for all of us.

It is human nature, the evidence shows, to be generous, although, when asked in surveys, we assume that self-interest is a stronger emotion. But, it turns out, such self-interest doesn’t make us nearly as happy as giving to others. Studies in which people have been given envelopes of money to spend show that those who spent a proportion of it on a gift, or gave some to charity, felt happier than those who spent it on a present for themselves or a bill they needed to pay. A study of young children found that even toddlers (学步小孩) felt happier giving rather than getting treats. Other studies show that volunteering increases happiness.

Research looking at survey data from 136 countries found that spending on others has a “consistent, causal impact on happiness.” This was true across a range of cultures and economies. The best news is that you don’t have to give much to feel the benefits. And it is morally fine to give only because it makes you happier.

1.Why do the researchers from Zurich University divide 50 participants into two groups?

A. To stress how important feeling happy is.

B. To check whether they will donate generously.

C. To show how to splash our cash on other people.

D. To look at the connection between generosity and happiness.

2.What do the words “important implications” in the last sentence of Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. To be generous is human nature.

B. It’s hard for people to make generous decisions.

C. To be generous doesn’t make one happy as expected.

D. Bits of the brain have nothing to do with generosity.

3.What message does the passage mainly convey?

A. Getting treats is more delightful than giving for toddlers.

B. Whoever spends money on others can be truly depressed or feel gloomy.

C. Whoever is a giver of a gift or to a charity will morally feel more cheerful.

D. A gift can be anything but beneficial for the giver as well as the receiver.

4.Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the text?

A. Can money buy you happiness?

B. What is the quality of personal relationships?

C. What is the purpose of undergoing an MRI scan?

D. How to balance self-interest and encourage generosity?

Like“ Titanic(1997)” and another record- breaking“ Avatar(2009)”, the very first film to hit one billion yuan at China’s box office, both directed by James Cameron, American films are an unavoidable part and hold plenty of appeal for Chinese film-goers, including me. However, while American movies have gained great influence in China and become part of everyday popular culture, Chinese films have failed to win an equal amount of recognition in the U.S. market.

Hollywood, known as a remarkable film production center, exported the biggest number of mainstream movies around the globe. Both its marvelous storytelling techniques and smooth production process have made it the most successful film industry in the world, gaining global acceptance. It has its own standards about the scriptwriting format throughout its filmmaking process while China has no such. Moreover, in Hollywood, a break during the production period is a must for all crew members whereas most Chinese film crew do not even allow their production team time to rest on the weekend.

Besides production, content is another important aspect of Hollywood’s cultural exportation. The United States is known as a melting pot, as it is a country of immigrants. Its culture, in a way, is more diversified than others’. And we can see an increased diversity in Hollywood movies over the years, especially since 2000. For example, in 2017, Hollywood blockbuster (大片) “Coco (2017)” tells the story of a Mexican boy who dreams of being a musician. Full of elements of the Mexican culture, the movie caused a global fever for Mexican music at the time. It also achieved great results in China, ranking as the 10th highest grossing (最高票房) film in the country in2017, with the box office being over one billion yuan.

In contrast, China’s highest grossing film of 2017, “Wolf Warrior 2”, despite having created a new record in the country’s box office, did not get too much attention in the U. S. market. In fact, there is hardly any Chinese movie that has become a blockbuster in foreign markets. One of the reasons may be that most Chinese films only tell domestic stories with strong domestic elements, which is not wrong but makes it hard to attract foreign viewers due to the narrow themes.

While seeking to tell Chinese stories that are able to gain global popularity is still a question for Chinese filmmakers, fortunately, the technical aspect in the Chinese film industry has been improving thanks to the abundant cash flow in the market. When that day comes, more people will get a chance to learn more about China, one of the most beautiful places on the planet, which reminds me of the famous quote from “The Shawshank Redemption (1994)”, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.”

Videos and video calls are becoming increasingly popular on social media in China, particularly on WeChat, the country’s most-used messaging app. We Chat’s 1.08 billion monthly active users last year made 410 million daily video and audio calls. That was 5.7 times more than in 2015, when WeChat first disclosed its operational data.

Uploading videos on WeChat Moments, a function that allows users to share their latest whereabouts, has become more widely used, with the number of videos posted multiplying 4.8 times in the past 4 years.

As a one-stop solution for Chinese people’s daily lives, We Chat has been able to produce a breakdown of its users’ preferences by age group. Those born in the 1980s for example are followers of news related to state and public affairs, whereas those younger than 20 spend the most on sweet treats.

In line with previous findings, China’s elderly population are becoming adept at using WeChat as a means of communication and conducting errands (办差事). As of September 2018, over 63 million users were registered as 55 years old or above. This group recorded an average length of 11 minutes for video calls, topping all age groups. We Chat Wallet has also registered exponential (指数的) growth, with payments in public transportation and high-speed traffic rising 4.7 times and 6.3 times, separately. Spending in retail stores and dining via WeChat rose by 1.5 times and 1.7 times. The number of users who use the app for making medical appointments and paying bills almost tripled.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

My teacher Peter Bullock proved that science wasn’t boring and made physics great fun. In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled fresh from the machine. Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out. I’ve kept them all to show to my own children. There was one poem in particular that’s stayed in my memory, which went:

In early days Man measured Time

By sunrise and sunset sublime;

As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring academic discipline. I’m sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics—waves and electricity and so on—but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and did so in a clever and imaginative way.

Peter Bullock was not only an exciting teacher, but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express myself in a forceful way that I’ve been doing ever since—and getting paid for it. That made me what I am today—a commercial lawyer.

Peter Bullock taught me throughout my secondary schooling and I took physics, chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring. He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people I’m interested in law, they may think: “How boring.” I guess being a physics teacher is much the same. Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite other people.

1.Why did the students expect to get the worksheets in Peter’s class? (no more than 10 words)

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 2? (1 word)

3.What does Para. 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words)

4.How did Peter make his students interested in the things that seem dull? (no more than 10 words)

5.What do you think is the most important quality of a good teacher? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like classcs, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities（人文学科）!

The worries most people have about a Humanitie degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective（视角）. How could one effectively be an unbiased（无偏见的）writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society? How could one speak persuasively ith closed minds? Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we wl be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studie, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing（综合）ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you? Think of it. How often do you communicate with others? Produce ideas? Encounter people from other cultures? Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills?

If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.

1.Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first?

A. He was tired of learning comparative literature.

B. He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques.

C. He wanted to go to the same university as his friends.

D. He believed Business Management was more practical.

2.According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective?

A. Making more friends and learning from them.

B. Exchanging ideas in a philosophy seminar.

C. Opening your mind to future possibilities.

D. Getting to know the popular opinion of society.

3.In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role?

A. Writing a software program.

B. Performing a heart operation.

C. Playing a musical instrument.

D. Negotiating with a business partner.

4.The author believes the job market for Humanities graduates is .

A. recovering

B. depressing

C. promising

D. challenging

5.What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Stick to Your Desired major

B. Broaden Your Perspective

C. How to Acquire Soft Skills

D. Humanities vs. STEM

Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.

“Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”

To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker（生物标志）that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune（免疫的）measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm（算式，算法）does the rest.

Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.”

Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.

Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”

1.Biological age depends on .

A. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment

B. how well our body works compared with our peers’

C. when we start to take outdoor exercise

D. what the calendar says about our age

2.By saying “we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one” in Para. 2, the author means _______.

A. we don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year

B. we are chronologically older than last year

C. we might be less happy than the previous year

D. we may be biologically younger than the year before

3.According to Prof. Levine, what is the most exciting thing about her research?

A. The measures are not fixed.

B. Health services can be set up.

C. The problems are not that serious.

D. The research results are written in stone.

4.What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Para. 5?

A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly.

B. The test results may give us wrong information.

C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.

D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems.

5.The ultimate goal of Levine’s research is to .

A. free people from chronic diseases

B. work out a solution to genetic problems

C. keep people socially active even in old age

D. provide people with access to scientific theory

An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu（臭豆腐） settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.

“It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.

Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother’s house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.

Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome（唐氏综合征）.

He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.

However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke （抚摸）a baby.

A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.

My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft in the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.

Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was able to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice（偏见）. As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.

The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.

1.Why did stinky tofu become the author’s favorite dish?

A. It was related to family tradition.

B. It turned out to be quite delicious.

C. Grandma encouraged him to try it.

D. His appetite for food had increased.

2.What did the author think of his uncle at first?

A. He was a quiet person.

B. He was an energetic guy.

C. He was an immature man.

D. He was a strange creature.

3.The author’s attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when .

A. Chan’s footsteps woke up the author

B. Chan showed his friendliness to the author

C. Chan displayed his love towards his mother

D. Chan’s blank expression made the author smile

4.The comparison between stinky tofu and the author’s uncle serves to _.

A. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan

B. analyze the family relationship

C. describe a childhood memory

D. introduce a traditional Chinese food

5.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?

A. We shouldn’t judge by appearances.

B. A person’s taste changes over time.

C. Blood is thicker than water.

D. You are what you eat.

In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It’s a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages（孤儿院）with only his stuffed animal（毛绒玩具）, Doggie, for companionship. It’s a fascinating book, but little did I know how it would _______ my life and the lives of others.

One day, as I looked across my room at the pile of stuffed animals, a(n) _________ came to me. I would _________ stuffed animals for children like Jennings. _________ , I contacted agencies that support those children and they said the stuffed animals would certainly _________ children’s spirits.

I named my project “Cuddle Buddies”. I wrote articles for the local and school newspapers, _________ donations of the “buddies”— stuffed animals. My phone _________ ringing; schools, families, and toy factories all wanted to help. Much to my _________ , by the second week my living room looked like a zoo.

Six years after its launch, Cuddle Buddies continues to ____________ . Now over 25,000 stuffed animals have been ____________ to agencies worldwide.
