One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could, 4 not intending to pay for it. He hit the "panic button" , then went over the counter and 5 the front door.

| As a kid, I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf. I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake. Times have changed. Cagefree? Organic? Brown? White? Omega3s? Help! Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should choose： ●Brown or white? In fact，color is simply a sign of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern. ●Extra Omega3s? Omega3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed(亚麻籽) ，which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase. My opinion? Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure dose of Omega3s. Let eggs be eggs. ●Does your egg need exercise? Freerange eggs are from hens raised without the confines of a cage, though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens whose feed must meet organic standards. These hens must be raised humanely, and they must be given time to stay outdoors. Hey，happier hens do lay tastier eggs. ●Does local make a difference? Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect shape and they may or may not be certified (证明) organic; however, they have one quality I prize：I know exactly where my food came from and how it came to be! In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what the hens were fed. 1. What does the author think of Omega3 eggs? A. They are a good choice for people to purchase. B. They contain fewer Omega3s than fresh fish. C. They have the highest content of pure Omega3s. D. They are not the best source of Omega3s. 2. The underlined part “Freerange” probably means“________”. A. wild B. organic C. special D. Omega3free 3. According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with an egg's quality? A. The egg's color. B. The hen's exercise. C. The hen's living conditions. D. The hen's food. 4. This passage is most probably taken from a book named________. A. Shopping Skills B. Eggs and Cooking C. Raising Hens D. Healthy Diet |

| I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister's family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he_was_not_worthy_of_existence. _ Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite.”he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied.”explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone，my mother said to me，“You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.”She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt.“But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different.Your only shame is to have shame.” It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food. 1. When the writer found out the minister's family would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried mainly because ________. A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners C. she worried about meeting the minister's family D. she worried about being laughed at 2. What does “he was not worthy of existence” probably mean? It means________. A. the writer was not interested in his existence B. he was worthless C. he should not exist D. the writer expected his coming 3. The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because________. A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her C. her father leaned back and burped loudly D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans at table 4. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. the writer appreciated her mother's lesson years later B. the writer must be proud that she is different C. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture D. the minister's family really enjoyed the food |

| It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more.But in order to work up the desire to rewrite，it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage. I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers' opinions.One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we're often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down.Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work. Different from popular belief，we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as‘mentalese’)，and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language.But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦)，writing can only be composed one thread at a time.Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple.It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds. When people write as if some strict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder，they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start.Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem.When writing we should have two different minds.At the first stage，we should see every idea，as well as the words we use to express it，as wonderful and worth putting down.It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses. 1. What do we learn from the text about those famous writers? A. They often regret writing poor works. B. Some of them write surprisingly much. C. Many of them hate reading their own works. D. They are happy to review the publishers' opinions. 2. What do people generally believe about the way human minds work? A. People think in words and sentences. B. Human ideas are translated into symbols. C. People think by connecting threads of ideas. D. Human thoughts are expressed through pictures. 3. What can we conclude from the text? A. Most people believe we think in symbols. B. Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable. C. The writers and critics can never reach an agreement. D. Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work. |

| Linguistic(语言学的) Puzzles How did language begin? What was the world's first language? Do all languages come from one original language? 1 . In the 4th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account: Psamtik I，an Egyptian King, wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was. 2 .He told his servant to find two newborn babies.When the servant had found them, the king gave them to a shepherd (牧羊人) and said, “Keep these babies with the goats.Take care of them, but do not talk to them.Listen to any words that they say.” The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone.He said, “The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world.” 3 . He told the king who asked his scholars about this word.They told him that the Phiygians, who lived in an area which is now Turkey, called bread “becos”. The king said, “Then Phiygian is the oldest language.” Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong.We don't know why the children said “becos”. 4 . Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same “family” and that they started from the same parent language, ProtoIndoEuropean.Linguists think that it had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2000 and 1000 BC. Other languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits. 5 . Two questions that interest linguists are: How does language change? Why does language change? If you like solving mysteries, historical linguistics may be the job for you. A. Nowadays, we study the origin of language more scientifically B. He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea C. The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him D. Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families E. People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2000 years F. One day, while the babies were babbling to each other, the shepherd heard them say “becos” G. Linguists have classified many language families, and they are still trying to categorize others |
