         When I was 13 years old, I became a vegetarian and quickly realized that I would have to learn how
    to cook for myself. The first thing I ever asked my mom to teach me how to make was bean soup."Oh,
    that's easy!" She told me. She started by explaining: "Almost every soup starts with onions and carrots."
         My mom is a chef who is able to cook delicious meals. She also told me that the very first thing she
    had learned in cooking school was to make soup stock (拼盘)----followed by soup. Her teacher had told
    the class: "If you learn anything here, it should be soup."
        In the US, soup isn't so much a part of a meal as a meal in itself. Soups are often made from the
    leftovers (剩菜) of last night's dinner----a baked chicken or turkey can easily be made into a new meal by
    adding broth (肉汤) and some vegetables. Soups are accompanied (伴随) by bread and topped with cheese.
        It was easy to impress my college roommates with my mom's great soup recipes (菜谱). Bean soup,
    vegetable noodle soup, mushroom soup… For only a few dollars, three or four of us could eat well from
    the same pot of soup for a whole week. Add a loaf of bread and some cheese, and our soup became a proper
    feast (盛宴).
        I'm not a vegetarian any more, but I still make bean soup. It fills the house with lovely smells and reminds
    me of my mom, and my home.
    1. The first thing that the writer learnt to make was _______.
    A. bean soup
    B. vegetable noodle soup
    C. mushroom soup
    D. beef soup
    2. What is the writer's mother's job?
    A. teacher
    B. officer
    C. chef
    D. secretary
    3. According to the writer's mother, almost every soup has _______.
    A. onions and carrots
    B. celery (芹菜) and chili (辣椒)
    C. carrots and mushroom
    D. bread and cheese
    4. Which of the statements is TRUE?
    A. Soup is as important as a meal in America.
    B. Americans don't like to make soup from leftovers.
    C. Americans think it is difficult to make soup.
    D. Americans like to add cheese to soup.
    5. From this passage, we can learn that _______.
    A. in the US, soup isn't part of every meal
    B. you can't make soup with a baked chicken or turkey
    C. the writer often made different kinds of soup at home with her roommates
    D. the writer doesn't make bean soup any more because she isn't a vegetarian

         You may have heard of snipers (狙击手), or seen snipers in movies and computer games. They are
    people who can shoot and kill from a long distance. But do you know that we have real snipers in our
    police?
         Early this month, a man kidnapped a little girl with a knife in Beijing. Police came to talk to him, but he
    didn't let the girl go and was hurting the girl. A sniper shot him dead.
         In Beijing, there are over 300 police snipers. They work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to protect
    the capital.
        How do snipers get trained? What are their lives like? An expert (专家) with the Beijing sniper team shares
    some of the team's secrets with us.
        Q: How do you choose snipers?
        A: We choose snipers from the Beijing police. There are no strict rules about the height and weight of our
    snipers, but they must have very good eyesight. The weapon (武器) they use is around 3.5kg. Sometimes
    snipers need to hold it for hours. So, snipers need to have a strong body. They also need to pass written
    psychology (心理) tests.
        Q: What is the most important quality of a sniper?
        A: A good state of mind. Snipers need to be calm all the time. Sometimes, they may get ready for shooting
    for a whole day. They cannot talk, eat or drink during that time.
        Q: What kind of training do snipers usually get?
        A: The practice they often get is 100 meters distance shooting. They practice shooting in all kinds of
    weather, including windy and snowy days. 
        Q: Is it possible that a sniper may miss his target (目标)?
        A: That is not possible. The only standard (标准) for being a sniper is to take a life with one bullet (子弹).
        However, snipers are not killers. They only pull the trigger (扣动扳机) when they have to.
    1. Which of the following is NOT true about the snipers?
    A. They are professional (专业的) killers.
    B. They can shoot very far.

    or bad may happen to us.
    But there are three days which are usually marked by some kinds of special

    main events in life. We only have a choice in the second on the three: we can only choose to or not to marry.
    ②We have no choice in birth and death. Almost all human beings----______ the most primitive (原始的)
