         One day, I happened to talk to a stranger on the bus. When he found out that I was from Chicago,
    he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first
    I wanted to say that it was foolish (愚蠢的) to think like that, for out of all the millions of people in
    Chicago, I could not possibly know his friend. But, instead, I just smiled and said that Chicago was a
    very big city. He was quiet for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.
         He told me that his friend was an excellent tennis player and that he even had his own tennis court.
    He added that he knew a lot of people with swimming pools, but that he only knew two people in the
    country who had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I
    knew several people like that, for example, my brother and my next-door neighbour. I told him that my
    brother was a doctor and he lived in California. Then he asked where my brother lived in California.
    When I said Sacramento, he said that last year his friend spent the summer in Sacramento and lived
    next door to a doctor. The doctor had a tennis court. I said that my next-door went to Sacramento last
    summer and lived in the house next to my brother's. For a moment, we looked at each other, but we
    did not say anything.
         "Would your friend's name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?" I asked finally. He laughed and said,
    "Would your brother's name happen to be Dr. Ray Hunter?" It was my turn to laugh.

         There are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and
    DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with
    their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Shoppers like to choose
    their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same
    shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always
    good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.
         Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been sent to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or
    canned (罐装的) foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to
    choose their own apples so they can take the ones that look nice. Buying dried or canned food online is
    easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or
    a market.
         Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the
    things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food
    from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are
    also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies.
         The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful,
    though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find
    out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use
    refrigeration (冷藏) when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the
    summer to deliver the goods, this is important.
    1. When people buy food, they usually ______ .
    A. choose the colour                    
    B. don't touch or smell it
    C. go to different shops each time         
    D. want to see with their own eyes
    2. If fresh fruit and vegetables ______, shoppers will buy them online.
    A. look nice              
    B. have a very good quality
    C. make people feel comfortable        
    D. have been put into boxes
    3. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
    A. The food you buy online is always fresh.
    B. Online shopping can let you get the food today or tomorrow.
    C. You can buy cakes and candies online.
    D. Some websites may help you buy more things.
    4. Which of the following is the best title (标题) of the passage?
    A. How to Choose Food                 
    B. Online Food Shopping
    C. Supermarket Websites        
    D. Delivering food

         The word "day" has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using
    "day" to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using "day" to mean the time
    between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time.
    Always one half of the earth is day and the other half is night. A place is moved from day into night and
    from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and
    night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the
    morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward the
    sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern
    Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other
    six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight.
    Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of
    long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
    1. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ______ of the earth.
    A. the pushing
    B. the pulling
    C. the spinning
    D. the passing
    2. At the equator day is as long as night ________.
    A. sometimes
    B. never
    C. usually
    D. always
    3. When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ______ sunlight.
    A. less          
    B. more          
    C. all            
    D. no

         Every object has weight. But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object. If the
    top of an object is heavier than its bottom, it will fall over easily. We say that its center of gravity(重力)
    is high. But if the bottom is heavier, it won't fall easily. Then we say that its center of gravity is low.
         Look at the first picture. This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above
    the line of its bottom (AB).
         Now look at the second picture. There are some heavy things in the bottom of this box. It will not fall,
    because its center of gravity is above its bottom.
    1. Box _____________will not fall..

    2. The main idea of the passage is _________.
    A. why things fall over  
    B. a low center of gravity
    C. a high center of gravity
    D. that everything has weight
