| Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn't eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate-refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery - that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person's food. Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don't, they can also take vitamin pills. |

| Harvard University is on the both sides of the Charles River. The oldest institution of higher learning in the United States was founded in 1636. In 1638 it was named for John Harvard, its first founder. During the 1640s the college was enlarged although it was short of money. Meant to be an institution for the education of Puritan ministers (清教牧师), it grew to be an institution of general education (普通教育), and new and more subjects and policies (政策) were introduced. In the 18th century, particularly under John Leverett (1708-24) the number of the students and campus equipment increased while the religious (宗 教的) color decreased. In its early years, the college was largely supported by the English colony and the New England community as a whole, but support soon came in the form of gifts, and in 1823 the state money was received for the last time. Under Charles W. Eliot, the college became a great modern university. Its basic courses improved and enlarged, the graduate school was set up for those who finished their four-year undergraduate study, and the law and medical schools were reorganized. Eliot is also famous for his introduction of the elective system at Harvard. Besides Harvard College, the university includes schools of divinity (1816), law (1817), arts and science (1872), education (1920), engineering (1935), reorganization of Lawrence Science School of l847, public administration (1935). Harvard also has schools of business administration (1908), medical (1782), public health (1922), and dental health (1941). Radckiffe college for women is connected with Harvard; its students are taught by Harvard professors and receive diplomas given by Harvard. The university 1ibrary, among the nation's finest, houses over 8 million volumes and the Fog Museum of Art is one of the finest university museums in the world. Harvard is closely connected with a large number of research institutions as well. |

| Department stores sell ready-to-wear clothing, which is also called ready-made clothing. Such clothing is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by buying it. Most often, People do not fit exactly into a producer's size. Their clothing must be changed to make it fit better. However, most changes are not very expensive. The small cost of most changes means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most customers. Those who can afford it often get someone to design (设计) and make their clothing. Such clothing is called custom-made. The person who makes it measures (测量) the customer, and then sews it so that it fits perfectly. Changes are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand, has better quality, better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiving. This often means that you spend double or mor than you would for a ready-made garment. Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It costs more partly because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large amounts of material. Workers cut each size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments, quickly by machine and pay workers according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money. Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices which are made possible by mass production. It may or may not give them high quality. |

|

| Honesty comes in many forms. First there's self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I'm not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account ). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, "Always be a first-class version of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else." Then there's honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you've ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can't do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn't do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I'd write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn't thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn't do that anymore, because I wasn't really helping them. They weren't learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn't helping me. It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit into your PBA and will build strength. |
| 1. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland's words? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Be your true self rather than follow others. B. Don't copy others or you can't be the first class. C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second. D. Don't learn from others unless they're excellent. |
| 2. What does the author expect to show by Jeff's story? |
|
[ ] |
| A. honesty can be of great help. B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one. C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody. D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds. |
| 3. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. one must be brave to be honest B. it's difficult to be honest when others are not C. one should be honest when making a deposit D. honesty in one's actions can help him in the future |

| Adventure Travel Why do people travel? Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of today's travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting. HIKING Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn't have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city. Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn't forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking: ★ Hike with your friends. ★ Tell someone where you are going. ★ Bring water and good map. ★ Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes or poisonous plants. ★ Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun. ★ Bring a cell phone if you have one. Rafting Another exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle (划桨) down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks. If you are looking for more excitement, you may want to try white-water rafting. White-water rafting is more adventurous and difficult than normal rafting. It is done on rivers and streams where the water moves quickly. You have to be careful not to hit rocks, trees and other dangers. The name "white-water" comes from the fact the water in these rivers and streams looks white when it moves quickly. As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills of rafting, such as how to get in and out of the raft. You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket. | |||||||||||||||
