    than they  3  watching television. She told my brother and me to watch only two to three preselected TV
    programs during the week. In our free time, we had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and
      4  wntten book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we

    shirts you want."I was very  8  with that arrangement but once I got through allocating (分配) money, there

    Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my  10  and became an A-student again, and at last I

         It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of
    Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not
    improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
    Japan
         High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips.
    Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles and vegetables.
         Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition (营养) value. Twice a
    year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭) at the end of
    the month receives a prize.
    The United States
          A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce
    and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary
    allowances (定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories (卡路里).
         Australia
         Meat pies, sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation
    pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.
         Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled foods, including pastries, chocolate
    and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, com
    and watermelon, however, are served every day.
         In some schools, students have a choice of up t0 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.
         South Africa
         Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p. m. and students get their
    own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
         Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children.
    But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in
    towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches
    of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.
    1. What does the underlined word "obesity" in the last paragraph probably mean?
    A. Allowances.
    B. Sadness.
    C. Nutrition.
    D. Overweight.
    2. We can infer from the passage that _______.
    A. a typical menu from a US school is made up of enough nutrition
    B. most students in South Africa eat their lunches at home
    C. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their schools
    D. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan
    3. What is the main idea of the passage?
    A. Food served in the US is the best of all.
    B. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.
    C. Schools serve different foods from country to country.
    D. School children all over the world dislike their school food.
    4. Who is the article meant for?
    A. School lunch suppliers.
    B. Headmasters.
    C. Students.
    D. Nutritionists.

         Jeanne Calment took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert
    in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.
         When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world' s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of
    122. So is 122 the upper limit (限制) to the human life span (寿命)? If scientists come up with some sort of
    pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?
         Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers."Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn't surprise me if
    someone alive today reaches 130 or 135," says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas. 
         Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. "People can live longer than we think," he says. "Experts
    used to say that humans couldn't live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to
    120. So why can't we go higher?"
         The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it' s all just guessing."Anyone can make up
    a number," says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. " Usually the scientist who picks the highest number
    gets his name in Time magazine.
         Won't new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would
    probably keep most of us living until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that make the life
    span of mice longer by 50 percent at most. So, if the average (平均) human life span is about 80 years, says
    Miller, " adding another 50 percent would get you to 120."
         So what can we leam from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible (有弹
    性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. "We can get flies to live 50
    percent longer," he says. " But a fly's never going to live 150 years." Of course, if you became a new species
    (物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.
         Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve (进化) their way to longer life?"It' s pretty cool to
    think about." He says with a smile.
    1. What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?
    A. People can live to 122.
    B. Old people are creative.
    C. Women are sporty at 85.
    D. Women live longer than men.
    2. According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ________.
    A. the average human life span could be 110
    B. scientists cannot find ways to slow aging
    C. few people can expect to live to over 150
    D. experts aren't sure how long one can live
    3. Who thinks that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity?
    A. Jerry Shay.
    B. Steve Austad.
    C. Rich Miller.
    D. Ceorge Martin.
    4. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
    A. Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.
    B. The average human life span cannot be doubled.
    C. Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.
    D. New techniques could be used to change flies into a new species.

         You either have it, or you don't-a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find
    their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
         Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
    theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
    carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it, we lose it.
         "Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around," says Jim Martland, Research
    Director of the project. "However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never
    develop the skills." Jim Martland also says that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their
    sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions: .
         ●If you are using a map, tum it so it connects with the way you are facing.
         ●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks
    on the route as you go away from your bike. When you retum, go back along the same route.
         ●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls
    in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any
    landmarks to help you. Now you need never get lost again!
    1. Could some people find their way across the Sahara without a map?
