Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.

David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.”

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”

Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ I’m afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I’m a Hindu(印度教信徒)and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”

Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I didn’t want to touch them.”

Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs， some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos， back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts， the players walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction， of course， they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow， they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops， the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out. Then， before the music starts again， one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again， one more player will be out.

At last， there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

科目：初中英語 來源：中考英語壓軸題專題23 閱讀理解（日常生活類） 題型：閱讀單選

Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie--the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didn’t do it!”

Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.

Early 2017 Professor Craig E.Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承認) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?

The children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (積極的) feelings towards a confessor.

Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

1.What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1 mean?

A. 委屈 B. 責備 C. 否認 D. 拒絕

2.Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________.

A. kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”

B. it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth

C. it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth

D. all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act

3.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?

A. Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.

B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.

C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime

D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.

4.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?

A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.

B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.

C. Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.

D. Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions.

1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D 【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文中介紹了當很小的孩子犯了錯誤時，家長應該以什么樣的態(tài)度對待孩子。 1.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)"the evidence of candy written on his or her face"可知，偷吃糖果的證據(jù)寫在臉上，然而孩子卻說"I didn't do it!"顯示，孩子是在"否認"，故答案選C。 2....

（題文）--- Is that man Mr. Green ? (2016•鹽城市)

A. may B. must C. can't D. shouldn't

C 【解析】句意：——那個人是格林先生嗎？ ——這不可能是他。他因公去巴黎了。may這里表示“可能”，一種不確定的推測。must be表示肯定的推測。否定的推測用can’t be，語氣比較肯定。shouldn't 應該不，應該沒有（表示推測），語氣沒有那么強烈。由句子He has gone to Paris on business . 說明，那個人不可能是格林先生。因此表示否定的推測，語氣比...
