On my first holiday in America, I went to a large supermarket to buy breakfast. And although this was an English-speaking country that I knew well through films and TV, I was amazed. Everything came in unfamiliar (不熟悉的) packaging (包装),with things I'd never heard of, Even things as simple as corn chips were strange, in different colours including black and purple.
Tilse, who works for Nutrition Australia, first realized there was a problem six years ago. After teachers at her children's school quietly shared their opinions about the diets, she knew something about it. "They cared for what many children were bringing to school for lunch," she said. "Mostly packaged foods, such as chips are not healthy."
Tilse said, “They've managed to escape war areas and get to Australia, only to face the very real risk of running into heart disease. All because they're making wrong choices about food."
"Before I came to Australia, I'd never seen a sandwich," said Joseline Ntunzusenimanima, a 33-year-old mother of seven from Burundi in East Africa. "There were so many fruits I had either never seen or not been able to buy for many years. I was in shock for the first four days after I arrived. I didn't know what to do or where to go because I was just amazed to see plenty of food, peace and safety."
1.What did the writer feel about the food when she visited the USA for the first time?
A. Happy. B. Excited.
C. Amazed. D. Comfortable.
2.Tilse thinks that most packaged foods in Australia are _________.
A. interesting and cheap B. good for children's health
C. strange and expensive D. bad for children's health
3.How many children are there in Joseline Ntunzusenimanima's home?
A. Six. B. Seven.
C. Eight. D. Nine.
4.We can most probably read the passage in a magazine about _________.
A. music B. news
C. food D. education
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Wrong choice about food. B. Have a big breakfast.
C. How to choose food. D. What to bring to school.

At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer(拖车式活动房)that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.
We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.
That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow,” she replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent(急迫的), my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
1.Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?
A. Because it was their normal work.
B. Because the family asked them to do it.
C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.
D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.
2.What can we learn from the story?
A. The family needed two parking spaces.
B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.
C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.
D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.
3.What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Pillow B. A New House
C. The Family D. An Interesting Program

In 2006, young businessman Blake Mycoskie went to Argentina on vacation. He went back to America with a business plan that would help thousands of children. While on vacation, Mycoskie saw children who couldn’t afford even one pair of shoes. Their feet suffered cuts, and he wanted to help. He noticed the shoes that Argentinean farmers wore. Inspired by those simple shoes with rope bottoms, he had an idea. Mycoskie wanted to give these children the shoes they needed. He gave his new plan a name --- TOMS. For every pair of shoes he sold, he would give a new pair to a needy child. One for one.
It was a slap(耳光) in the face to traditional business practices. How could he make a profit by giving so much away? However, he started selling shoes out of his apartment. When he had sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, he returned to Argentina with 10,000 pairs to give away.
Although often taken for granted, shoes play an important role. Children without shoes easily injure their feet. They can catch a disease through soil that could make them sick or slow down their growth. Some children can’t attend school without shoes because they are part of the uniform.
TOMS, together with other charity organizations, continues to find communities that will get benefit. Since that first “shoe drop” in Argentina, TOMS has contributed new shoes to communities in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.
Mycoskie’s special principle is all about giving. This has attracted a lot of people’s attention. When people hear about TOMS’ purpose, they buy the shoes and then share the story with an idea of “shoes for a better tomorrow”.
1.What does ‘One for one” mean in the first paragraph?
2.How many pairs of shoes were sold before he came back to Argentina?
3.Why can’t some children attend school without shoes?
4.Which other communities has TOMS offered new shoes to?
5.How can Mycoskie give away so much and still earn money?(请自拟一句话回答)

One day during our holiday in England, my friend and I went to the train station to buy tickets to London. As native (本土的) speakers of English, we did not expect to have problems in English.
“Two tickets to London, please.” I said to the ticket seller
“Single?” the ticket seller asked me.
I thought that she couldn’t hear me clearly, “Two tickets to London!” I shouted.
At that moment a man helped us. He said that “a single ticket” in Britain doesn’t mean “one ticket”, it means “a one-way ticket”.
My experience in England taught me that there are some differences between British and American English. An Englishman may ask, “Would you like white coffee or white tea?” And an American asks, “Would you like your coffee or tea with milk?” We can find some differences such as the British saying “He’s in hospital”, but the American saying “He’s in the hospital”. Americans write words like color without the “u” of the English colour.
How much do you know about the differences between British and American English?
1.The writer spent his holiday in_________.
A.America B.England C.China D.Canada
2.The writer thought the ticket seller was_________.
A.a good listener B.a careful listener C.a blind person D.bad at hearing
3.“A single ticket” in England means_________.
A.only one ticket
B.a one-way ticket
C.a ticket for two
D.a ticket for one
4.The writer learned in England that there are_________differences between British and American English.
A.few B.no C.two D.some
5.In Britain, if you want your coffee with milk, you should say, “I'd like_________.”
A.some milk B.black coffee C.white milk D.white coffee
