| Foods from Around the World Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. Here are four people's experiences with foreign food. Shao Wong is a student in France. He comes from China. "I'd never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I sampled cheese too, but couldn't manage more than one bite. I love ice cream, though, and that's made from milk." Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. "I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish, and I heard some other customers order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is an Australian term for shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake." Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She originates from India. "I'm frightened of eating new foods because they might be made from beef. I'm a Hindu, and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow. It's a sacred animal to Hindus, so that's the reason I can't eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs." Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. "My friends gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn't like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren't really very old. Even so, I absolutely refused to touch them." Life in a new country can be scary, but it also can be fun. Would you sample a 100-year-old egg? Would you order shark in a restaurant? |

| I went over my grandmother's house today and she didn't have time for me. You see, the lady's husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn't think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking. My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn't sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed. At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don't have enough kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food. My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn't-and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world. |

|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. my grandmother has a secret way of living B. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration C. few people are as generous as my grandmother now D. my grandmother will get something in return |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers. B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way. C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now. D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself. |
| 4. We may infer from the text that the writer _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life B. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do C. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind D. is proud of his grandmother |

| The journey two divers made some time ago to the deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents (水流) or signs of life. It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water. The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers (层) of water. In time the temperature dropped to the freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise. Even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none was worse for their experience. |
| 1. The purpose of the divers' journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. if there are water currents, and life in the great depths B. if people can stand the severe cold in the great depths C. if there are steps in the great depths D. if the telephone works well in the great depths |
| 2. The divers set out early in the morning so that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. they could return to the surface during the day B. they could see at the bottom of the ocean C. they could avoid the cold at night D. they could stay long at the bottom |
| 3. As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. kept working all the time B. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottom C. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again at 30,000 feet D. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again when they returned to the same depth |
| 4. On the ocean floor, the divers found that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. there was no life but some small dead sea creatures B. fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surface C. fish were not swimming freely in the dark water D. fish were not swimming freely under the high water pressure |

| On Anger Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problem, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They cannot or will not express it. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (激素) that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels to the interstices (空隙). In general, the person feels excited and ready to act. Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious, enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably." |
