My husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.
We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer, my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.
Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread (姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.
Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.
The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water(自来水) before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
1.Which statement is TRUE?
A．American people like sitting with people they don’t know.
B．A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.
C．American people never sit with people they don’t know.
D．American people will not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.
2.What is served before you order?
A．Bread B．Butter C．Coffee D．Cold water
3.What are the opening and closing times for stores and restaurants in the US?
A．There are no rules about opening and closing times for stores and restaurants.
B．Stores may be open 24 hours a day in every city.
C．Especially in large cities, stores may be open around the clock.
D．You can enter a bar at any time in the US.

Time is time， no matter where we are in the world． However， it seems like whenever we wait for a friend to get ready， five minutes can seem like a whole day． And meanwhile， a really interesting two﹣hour movie may feel like it only lasted a few minutes． So， how is it that time doesn't always seem to follow the same rules？ What actually affects（ 影响）our feeling of time？
According to a new study published in the journal Nature in August， the differences in how we sense time come from a"clock？ inside our brain． However， the brains clock， controlled by a network of brain cells， gets its sense of time from our experiences and memories， reported Medical News Today． So， unlike regular clocks， our brain forms a " subjective（主观的） time coming from the ongoing flow of experience，" Edvard Moser， director of the Kavli Institute based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology， explained in Neuroscience News．
To examine the activity of this network， a team of scientists at the Kavli Institute studied the brain activity of rats for several hours， during which time the rats were required to complete a series of activities． According to Neuroscience News， it was found that when the rats carried out any repetitive（重复的）activities， the brain network became more precise． It matched the actual time of day． On the other hand， when they took part in any exciting experiences the brain network didn't rely on real time markers． This led to time passing unconsciously（无意识地）．
According to Moser， to speed up or slow down the brain's clock depends on whether the brain simply judges time based on experiences it processes（加工）． "If we change what we are doing， we also change our experience of time， he told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation． " It's not about clock time but about our subjective feeling of time．
1.The author gives the examples in paragraph 1mainly to show ．
A. time is sometimes changed depending on where we are
B. five minutes sometimes is equal to a whole day
C. an interesting two﹣hour movie actually lasts less than two hours
D. time doesn't always seem to go on a regular basis
2.According to Moser， the brain's clock is affected by ．
A. regular clock time
B. personal experiences
C. physical health
D. the number of activities
3.The text is mainly about ．
A. how to judge time
B. how to value time
C. how our brain works
D. how our brain senses time

Elephants are famous for their supposedly excellent memory. Now it seems that they are good at simple math too.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found an Asian elephant named Ashya can add small quantities together and correctly identify(识别）which is larger.
For example ,when researcher Naoko dropped three apples into one bucket and one apple into a second, then four more apples into the first and five into the second, Ashya correctly identified that the first bucket contained more apples and began munching(嚼）on her tasty prize.
Ashya chose the correct bucket 74% of the time "I even get confused when "I'm dropping the apple," Naoko told New Scientist magazine.
Elephants' counting abilities are far from unique. Chimps, pigeons(鸽子)and dolphins have shown the same abilities in lab tests, but what is more impressive for Elephants is that their ability to tell between two figures does not get worse when those numbers are more similar.
The elephants that Naoko tested were as good at telling the difference between five and six as they were at telling between five and one.
Naoko presented her findings last week at the International Society annual meeting in New York.
It is not obvious why elephants should need this mathematical ability in the wild." It is really tough to figure out why elephants would need to count," said Mya, a professor at Cornell University who studies elephants.
One possibility is that they use it to keep track of other members of their herd(兽群）so that no one is left behind. Asian elephants live in groups of six to eight." You really don't want to lose your group members," said Mya.
Another possibility is that the ability for simple math might be a by-product(副产品）of natural selection for a larger brain.
68.The experiments researchers have done recently show that elephants can____.
A. memorize things correctly B. munch on apples
C. do some simple math D. change small quantities into larger ones
69.What does the underlined word" tough" in Paragraph 8 mean?
A. Difficult B. Impossible C. Easy D. Useful
70.The reason why elephants need to count is possibly that_____.
A. they want to exercise their brains
B .they often count the members of their herd
C. they hope to stay in groups
D. they have taken regular training
