| My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 1 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 2 Christmas after all. 3 , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in. There was a 4 on the door one evening. It was Jeff's new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 5 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 6 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn't working in the cold snowy weather and we had 7 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies. The 8 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food. As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 9 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 10 us to dig out. Then, we received an invitation to 11 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 12 -a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday. Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 13 . Our Christmas morning 14 was special, thanks to the Smiths' gift of bread. I was so 15 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays. This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 16 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 17 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 18 in the holidays. Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 19 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 20 gesture can make a world of difference. | ||||

| "People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help deal with climate change," the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer. Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further. Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel's chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. "It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport," he said. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production ac counts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, emit a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than give off CO2. Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. "I have a little bit and enjoy it," said Torode. "Too much for any person is bad. But there's a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we'd save a huge amount of carbon emissions." Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. "Eating less meat would help, there's no question about that," Watson said. However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. "Some ideas were contradictory," he said. "For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very young science and our view is ther are a lot of simple solutions being proposed." |
| 1. What is directly related to global warming? |
| A. Consumption of meat. B. Growth of cattle. C. Methane from ruminants. D. Processing of meat. |
| 2. Who holds a view opposite to the others' in the passage? |
| A. Rajendra Pachauri. B. John Torode. C. Robert Watson. D. Chris Lamb. |
| 3. It is implied in the passage that _____. |
| A. we should try to keep away from cattle B. ruminants should not be left outdoors C. the meat industry will soon close down D. we must do our duty to save the earth |
| 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Less meat, slower global warming B. More animals, more greenhouse gas C. Less imported food, better our environment D. Greater diet change, smaller climate change |

| A study now lends support to the idea that meal-time distractions (分散注意) can mask the clues that we really have eaten quite enough. Moreover, it finds, the caloric fallout of not paying attention to what we're eating doesn't necessarily end when a meal is over. Rose Cooper from England and her colleagues gathered 22 men and an equal number of women for an experiment. Each person dined alone, continuously receiving nine small shares of food items. These ranged from cheese twists and potato chips to carrots, cherry tomatoes and sandwiches or sausage rolls. Because the goal was to test the potential impacts of distraction on fuUness, the researchers randomly assigned half of the participants to eat in front of a computer-and to gain as many wins as possible at the "card" game. Everyone else was told to focus on the sensory qualities of their meal. According to their instructions, the participants ate all of the food given to them. Yet people who played a computer game during lunch found their meal less filling than the mindful eaters had. Game players also swallow clown twice as many cookies, almost an hour later, when they were allowed all the dessert they wanted (in the name of a taste test). The British scientists present their findings in the February American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The real question is why distracted eating should impact snacking. It appears, the scientists say, that memory plays some tricky role in how we register what we eat and the degree to which it satisfies. Interestingly, eight years ago, Britta Barkeling of Huddinge University in Stockholm and her colleagues reported somewhat related findings. Their 18 overweight subjects had no choice other than to get rid of everything but lunch, on one day-because they were blindfolded. Compared to a day when they could view what they were dining on, these people consumed only three quarters as many calories. Yet even hours afterward, they reported being no less full than on the day they had been able to see their plates. Of course dining in the dark isn't practical. And sometimes what we eat doesn't really invite our absolute attention. But there is certainly a growing mountain of data indicating that mindless eating is a waste of resources, a risk to our waistlines-and a costly threat to health. |
| 1. Rose Cooper and her colleagues did the experiment in order to _____. |
| A. show that all the people enjoy snacks B. prove that playing computer games is harmful while dining C. find the possible effects of distraction on fullness D. test the impacts of eating snacks on different people |
| 2. Which is the most effective way to concentrate on your food when dining? |
| A. Viewing your food. B. Blindfolding your eyes. C. Playing computer games. D. Eating by oneself. |
| 3. The reason why mindless eating influences snacking may be that _____. |
| A. you eat less in that case B. you are cheated by your memory C. you have consumed more calories D. you digest what you've eaten faster |
| 4. We can conclude from the passage that _____. |
| A. distracted eating may damage your health B. eating snacks will make you feel full C. Britta became famous because of the experiment D. playing is more important than what people eat |

| Bobby Quails was shopping when he received a text message: Fire on Beechmont, one-story house, child trapped inside. "I was picking out gifts for the family our engine house adopted for Christmas," remembers Quails, who has been fighting fires in Memphis for 24 years. "I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and headed over." The last time Quails had been on Beeehmont Street was to install smoke detectors (感应器) at the Bateman- Tubbs home. He'd been on a secret task to see if they needed extra help during the holidays. There he discovered that the four Bateman-Tubbs children were sleeping on bare mattresses (床垫), and he found two of the boys playing outside in 30-degree weather with no shoes or coats. Quails learned that Leonard Tubbs was doing his best to make ends meet laying floors while Kimberly Bateman stayed home with the kids. "When Bobby told me his team wanted to be Secret Santas and buy my kids toys, at first I thought we didn't need any help," Bateman recalls. "It really touched me. I told him what the kids really needed was warm clothes," That's exactly what Qualls was shopping for on December 9, 2010: winter jackets for Christopher, seven; JoJo, four; Madison, one; and two-month-old Charles. While driving over to Beechmont Street, he dialed Bateman's cell phone. She answered on the first ring, screaming, "The house is on fire-JoJo's trapped inside!" By the time Quails reached the house, the family had gotten out, but their home was severely damaged; His coworkers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom. He had stopped breathing and had been given CPR and rushed to the hospital. Quails learned that JoJo was now on life support and might not make it through the night. He rushed to the hospital with Lt. Mark Eskew, who placed a stuffed teddy bear in a firefighter's suit on JoJo's bed. "I just kept praying my little boy would open his eyes," Bateman recalls. "There was nothing else I could do. They were pumping black and thick liquid out of his lungs and stomach for days." After a few days, though, JoJo regained consciousness, and the tubes were taken out of his throat. While he began to slowly recover, the local newspaper and TV stations got hold of the story, and the Secret Santa Plan of Quails and his fellow firefighters, snowballed. Before long, the fire station was overflowing with boxes of toys, food, towels, and clothes. People called, wanting to donate furniture and appliances (电器) too. By December 23, Bateman and Tubbs had moved their kids into a new rental home. By Christmas Eve, JoJo was ready to leave the hospital, and the firefighters were ready to deliver the family their very own Christmas miracle. "These guys aren't just firefighters," says Bateman, "they're our guardian angels. If they hadn't installed a smoke detector that first day they came to our house, we wouldn't have known when the fire started. Then they went the extra ten miles to give us a Christmas." |
| 1. What did Quails do after he received a text message? |
| A. He drove to the burning house. B. He hurried to the fire station. C. He went to pick out gifts. D. He went shopping in Beechmont. |
| 2. Who saved JoJo out of the burning house? |
| A. Bobby Qualls. B. Leonard Tubbs. C. Kimberly Bateman. D. Firefighters. |
| 3. We can learn from the story that _____. |
| A. JoJo is a naughty child B. smoke detectors are very useful C. Tubbs' home is filled with gifts D. the fire was caused by the bare mattress |
| 4. The author wrote this story mainly to _____. |
| A. encourage people to install smoke detectors B. advise people to take good care of their children C. ask people to give gifts to the firemen D. praise the firemen for their good deeds |

| Going soy is the way to go green In 1829, U.S. farmers grew soybeans (大豆) for the first time. In the late 1800s, lots of farmers began to grow soybeans as food for cattle. In 1904, at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, George Washington Carver began studying the soybean. His discoveries changed the way people thought about the soybean. No longer was it just a crop for cattle； it provided valuable protein and oil. Now soybean oil is the most popular source for an alternative fuel. Fueling diesel (柴油) engines with vegetable oil started with the inventor Rudolf Diesel. When Diesel showed his engine at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, it was running only on peanut oil, a kind of biodiesel. According to the United Soybean Board, biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. However, over the next 100 years, diesel fuel was made largely from petroleum (石油). Interest was renewed in biodiesel in the mid-1970s when the energy shortage occurred, and gas prices surged upward throughout the United States. In spite of these conditions, commercial production did not take place until much later. In 1999, The National Biodiesel Board reported that 500 000 gallons per day were produced. In 2000, production increased t0 6. 7 million gallons per day. With the continual rising costs of petroleum products in the new century, major corp orations and the United States government have looked to new markets. Farmers are encouraged to grow soybeans in their fields, as the demand for soybean fuel increases. They can now get several gallons of fuel per acre of soybean. Biodiesel is created by removing a thick liquid called glycerin from soybean oil. It is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency as a pure fuel, which is known as B100, or as a fuel additive, which is called B20, a mixture of 20 percent soy and 80 percent petroleum-based diesel. There are many benefits of soybean fuel. Studies have shown that biodiesel from vegetable oil reduces petroleum consumption when used in place of petroleum diesel. In addition, the use of biodiesel reduces CO2 in the earth's atmosphere. This is due to the fact that growing soybeans consumes nearly four times as much CO2 as the amount of CO2 produced from biodiesel waste gases. If you ever want to take a ride in a car or bus powered by soybeans, you can. The Agriculture Research Center (ARS) National Visitor Center bus, which is used for Beltsville, Maryland farm tours, is running on biodiesel fuel. ARS scientists are conducting biodiesel fuel research, and they are trying to find ways to make fuel from vegetable oils, animal fats, and used restaurant oils. Biodiesel fuel costs more than regular diesel fuel. However, the price may drop if people use it more. We can look to the future with the hope that clean fuel sources will continue to be widespread in the United States and even around the world. |
