         I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had even seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of
    this with boys of my own size or less.
         One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I
    thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet. I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength
    making its way by fierce strokes(猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me
    violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?" they said. "It's
    Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym;he has got his football honor. "
         I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. He didn't seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who is a great man, is also small." At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I
    had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
    1. The writer thought Amery "a fair game" because the boy_______.
    A. looked like an animal  
    B. was fond of games
    C. was of similar size
    D. was good at sports
    2. The writer felt "ashamed" because _____________.

    B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade
    C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him  
    D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete
    3. By saying "My father, who is a great man, is also small. "the writer __________.
    A. tried to please Amery

         If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her
    nose, a totem design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your
    opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
         In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin. On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight,
    flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So
    when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file
    off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful. It
    is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to
    become an adult.
         In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung". They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that
    you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But
    you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck,
    tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Padaung woman will wear her
    neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
        So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
    1. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?
    A. Women's design.      
    B. Beautiful body decoration.
    C. Attractive decoration.  
    D. Body decoration.
    2. What does the underlined word "trolley" in the first paragraph mean? 
    A. handbag        
    B. luggage      
    C. shopping cart      
    D. basket
    3. On Bali, it is believed that _____________.
    A. a person with sharp teeth looks ugly    
    B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
    C. a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
    D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
    4. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.
    B. Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
    C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
    D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
    5. What is the best title of the passage?  
    A. Who Is a Beautiful Woman?           
    B. Inner beauty
    C. Different Ideas about Beautiful        
    D. Body Decoration

         Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness
    called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common
    symptoms.
        Certain microorganisms(微生物)cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other
    microorganisms can poison eggs ,meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these
    tiny living things release(释放) poisons that make people sick.
        Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown,
    processed or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.
    Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
        Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.
        When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply
    rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with
    dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People
    should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild
    mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that
    are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
         Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If
    people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.
    1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. Food when poisoned can make people sick.      
    B. Food poisoning means death.
    C. Food poisoning comes in varieties.              
    D. Food poisoning can be serious.
    2. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning__________.           .
    A. are always accompanied by a fever            
    B. are too common to be noted
    C. can be noticed within hours                  
    D. can be ignored
    3. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT_______________.
    A. some chemicals  
    B. low temperatures
    C. some tiny living things
    D. certain natural materials
    4. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ______________.
    A. mushrooms should not be eaten    
    B. vegetables are safer than meat and seafood
    C. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals 
    D. different types of food should be handled differently
    5. It can be inferred from the passage that ______________.    
    A. natural materials are safe in food processing  
    B. chemicals are needed in food processing
    C. food poisoning can be kept under control    
    D. food poisoning is out of control
