A

My grandfather is eighty years old now. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone is busy working. Mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now the family don’t eat home-cooked food any more.

And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, they used to add, subtract, multiply and divide(加減乘除)in their heads. Instead, they use calculators(計算器).

And people today have TV and computers, and they don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think….

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

Hating someone hurts one’s own health since it causes anger within， and this anger can harm one’s health if it builds too high． Health is wealth， and forgiveness (原諒) is the way to go． Forgiving someone will help to make you feel better and solve the problems about relationships． The following steps may help you：

Recognize the way． Many a time， we don’t know why we hate someone and continue to walk on a road that troubles one’s mental and physical health and happiness． We should be able to recognize the way first that you treat him / her when we come across a certain human being． Once we are able to recognize the way， we can then move on to the next step．

Find the cause． We should try to search within ourselves about what and how that person has hurt us， and why we hate them． Finding a cause helps us to bring closure within ourselves， and we can open up to discussion within ourselves， and even with the person whom we hate．

Face that person． Coming face-to-face with the person whom one hates is a challenge， but facing him / her will lead to peace of mind and a sound sleep at night． Brave up and face that person．

Start a conversation． Once in the presence of the person who is hated， start a conversation and communicate about what bothers you． Being frank about what and how that person’s behavior makes oneself angry will help both discuss problems， and will finally lead to clarification．

Say sorry to him/ her． Apologizing to the disliked person can do wonders for one’s physical and mental being， bringing happiness and satisfaction． Keeping one’s egos (自負) aside and expressing regret are the keys to forgiveness．

Once you forgive a person， be patient and kind to yourself． Express your pain and worries， and do not keep it bottled up． Thanks for the goodness of people around you， and imagine a new life with energy each day． This will help to shape each day free of pain．

1.What can help you to solve the problems about relationships?

2.What should we do first if we want to forgive a person we hate?

3.Why do we need to face the person we hate?

4.What are the keys to forgiveness according to the passage?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

閱讀下列短文, 從每小題的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “ 5-second rule!” This so–called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?

Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(細菌) than if it sits there for longer.

For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods——bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring—carpet(地毯), laminate (復(fù)合地板) and tile(瓷磚) — for three seconds to 30 seconds.

Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer(轉(zhuǎn)移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.

The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.

1. What is the “5-second rule’ mean?

A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.

B. Food is safe when you pick it up off the floor in less than five seconds.

C. It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds.

D. Food will go bad when dropped food on the floor in five seconds or less.

2. Where is Ashton University?

A. In the USA. B. In England.

C. In China. D. In France.

3. Hilton’s test wanted to find out____________.

A. if the “5-second rule” is true

B. the students’ favorite food

C. which food is easily dropped

D. if different types of floor have different bacteria

4. According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.

A. the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.

B. the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria.

C. bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.

D. the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.

5. According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped does NOT depend on _____________.

A. how long the food sits on the floor

B. what the dropped food is

C. what the bacteria are

D. what the weather is like that day

閱讀下面的四篇短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳選項。

Food is a major part of every culture. After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when.

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.

The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables. Between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., people enjoy a smaller meal with their families.

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推車). But they always finish eating before walking away.

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ. Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast. Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers. Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns. American restaurant servings tend to be huge. But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common.

1.People of Egypt usually start a day with ________.

A. a drink B. a bagel

C. some meat D. some vegetables

2.In which country do people consider lunch the largest meal?

A. Egypt. B. France.

C. Brazil. D. The United States.

3.The underlined phrase “skip breakfast” means________.

A. cook breakfast B. enjoy breakfast

C. not have breakfast D. not serve breakfast

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Life styles. B. Eating habits.

C. Delicious food. D. Restaurant culture.
