| After winning a big game, athletes are often asked how they feel. Usually athletes say how 1 it is to win this big game. On the contrary, the fact is that losing a big game, or in my case, all the games, can be even harder. From the spectators' point of view, last year's basketball 2 for my high school team was nothing 3 of an embarrassment. And 4 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season had a bigger impact on me than any other. As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldn't be the 5 year, but did I ever think we would lose every game? Of course not. Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were a(n) 6 一team who would struggle. The struggle began earlier than expected, 7 , as our team center was suspended (禁赛) for the season, and two key members decided to 8 for some reason. At this point, dropping out probably passed through every player's mind, but in the end, we all stuck it out, 9 to work still harder. Then there came a time when even our 10 had given up on us.

| Theodore, the mamger of the Paradise Hotel, told a middle-aged couple that they would have to leave the hotel after just one night. The couple, visiting from Texas, had booked a room for eight nights. "They wanted a sterile (消毒了的) environment, "Theodore said. "They should have rented a room in a hospital, maybe an operating room. This hotel is clean, but it isn't that clean." Theodore said that, on the very first day, the couple bmught all the sheets, pillowcases and bedspreads down to the rmin hall and just dropped them next to the front desk. They stood there next to this pile of bedding while other guests looked, pointed, and mumured. The hotel got three cancellations within the hour from people who witnessed this strange event. When Theodore asked the couple what the problem was, they said that their bedding was filthy and they wanted it replaced. The couple could not identify any specific "filth" on the bedding. The wife just said, "we're paying good money to stay here. How dare you doubt us? We know the filth is there. That's all the proof you need." Theodore called room service, and the bedding was replaced immediately. Early the next evening, however, the couple marched to the front desk again and demanded seven cans of sterilizer. "We need a can for each night. We have to spray the phone, the TV, all the door handles, the toilet handle,the shower stall, the faucet, the sink, and any hotel staff entering our room." Worried, Theodore politely suggested that a hotel more suitable for them was just around the corner. He then called ahead to reserve a "very clean" room, and gave them free transportation in the hotel Rolls-Royce. A1so, he told the couple that they wouldn't be charged for the second day. The couple were surprlsed but they really liked the idea of free room for a night and that expensive car service. |

| We all know that certain oils are healthier than others, but your oil health goes beyond just the type. The health of your oil can be related to how you use it too. Each type of oil has what is called a "smoke point". The smoke point is the specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down, or in more technical terms, its molecular structure begins to change. These molecular changes result in changes in flavor, as well as changes in nutritional value, specifically, the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce; changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil, like Olive, into one that is unhealthy. The higher an oil's smoke point is, the higher the temperature of the oil can be. As a result, each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance. Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite oil.  Note that the above table represents oils that are refined (精烁). Most oils we buy are refined. Refined oils tend to have much higher smoke points than when they are unrefined. They also differ in nutrition and flavor, Unrefined oils are more nutritious and they tend to be much richer in flavor. When it comes to extremely high heat cooking, always choose oils which are refined. |
| 1. What determines whether an oil is healthy or not? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Whether it's refined or not. B. Its smoke point. C. Its molecular. D. How you use it. |
| 2. Which of the followjng might be a better choice to make a healthy salad? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Refined walnut oil. B. Safflower oil. C. Unrefined olive oil. D. Sunflower oil. |
| 3. Healthy oil can become unhealthy if _____ according to the passage. |
|
[ ] |
| A. you keep it for too long B. it is heated well beyond its smoke point C. it is refined D. its flavor is changed |
| 4. The author wants to tell readers that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. oils are related to health B. oils'value depends on their smoke points C. "certain oils are healthier" is relative D. oils' flavor and nutrition are connected |

| Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before (Jongress, the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind. Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York. The company is now being investigated. Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled. The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses. Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits. A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting. Despite back-to-back hearings this week, left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden, unintended accelerations will be fixed. Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock, but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems. Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference (油门踏板故障) or sticky gas pedals (刹车). Outside experts have suggested electronic problems. House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda, the grandson of the company's founder. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults. NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model. Toyota has recalled 8. 5 million cars, more than 6 million of them in the United States. It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars. Toyota's January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results. Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales, due out next week, to be down 30 percent t0 40. Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that. It will take some time to feel the full effect of this, he said. |

|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers. B. America wants to get Toyota out of the US market. C. America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty. D. America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem. |
| 3. What can we infer from the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Toyota provides very good post sale service. B. Toyota's biggest market is in the United States. C. Toyota will be closed soon. D. Toyota's dealership in the US will all be closed. |

| Joseph Pulitzer (April 10, 1847-October 29, 1911) was a Hungarian-American publisher best known for establishing the Pulitzer Prizes after death. Pulitzer was born in Mako, Hungary. At 17, Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army, but was turned down due to age, bad health and poor eyesight. Disappointed but still with hope, he traveled first to Paris and then to London, hoping to join the amy there. And he was rejected for the same reasons. Finally, he moved to the United States in 1864 and served in the Lincoln Amy when he was just 18 until the end of the American Civil War. After the war he settled in St. Louis Missouri, where in l868 he started working as a reporter for a Geman-language daily newspaper, the Westliche Post. He joined the Republican Party and was elected to the Missouri State Assembly in 1869. In 1872, Pulitzer bought the Westliche Post for $3 000. Then, in 1879, he bought the St. Louis Dispatch for $2 700 and merged (合并) the two papers as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which remained St. Louis'daily newspaper. He bought the New York World in 1883, which turned out to be a successful decision, and which made Pulitzer wealthy. In 1885, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, but resigned after a few months'service. In 1895 the New York World introduced the first newspaper comlc printed with color. Under Pulitzer's leadership circulation (发行量) grew from 15 000 t0 600 000, making it the largest newspaper in the country. But unfortunately from 1890, Pulitze's already failing health worsened rapidly and he withdrew from direct rnanagement of the newspaper, and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York. At the age of forty, he was struck blind, but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty- two rnore years. In 1892, Pulitzer offered Columbia University's president money to set up the world's first school of journalism. But the university turned down the offer. In 1902, Columbia's new president willingly accepted the plan for a school and prizes, but it would not be until after Pulitzer's death that this dream would come' true. Pulitzer left the university $ 2 million in his will, which led to the creation in 1912 0f the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism And up till now, Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism still remams one of the most famous in the world. Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911. He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York. In 1917, the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded, as Pulitzer wished to. In 1989, in honor of his great achievements and contributions, Pulitzer was included in the St. Louis Walk of Fame. |
