It gives us the nutrients that we need for our bodies to grow.1.If we are happy, we eat; if we are sad, we eat; boredom, depression, and loneliness are other reasons that we eat.2.When we have friends or family over, we usually have some form of food to offer them, whether it is a light snack or a full meal.
3.Many of us like certain foods because we have been raised eating those foods. In many cases, whatever our parents eat or like to eat is what we eventually enjoy eating. The region where we live as well as economics determines much of our food selection. If we lived in China, we would eat a lot of rice because it is what is grown there.4.
Food is also a part of our many celebrations. However, the way that food is used in celebrations varies from home to home, and country to country.5.To understand why different foods are used in different celebrations, we need to understand a little about culture and how it could affect the foods we use.

Food is extremely important to us human beings and rice is one of the main food in the world. Australian researchers have discovered a way to genetically engineer rice which would provide significant health benefits to more than half the world’s population.
A study undertaken at the University of Tasmania, published in a respected journal of the National Academy of Sciences, discovered a method to increase the resistant starch (抗性淀粉)content in rice, making it more digestible and leading to lower rate of diabetes (糖尿病)and overweight.
Steven Smith, the lead author of the study and a foreign expert for the Chinese government who has been appointed to work on crop improvement projects by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said increasing the higher resistant starch content gave this “designer” rice many added health benefits. “We have discovered that we can increase the amount of resistant starch in cooked rice, which could provide health benefits for a large number of people in Asia and beyond,” Smith said in a media release on Friday. “The same approach can be adapted for use in other cereals, including wheat. Not only can it have benefits for diabetes and obesity, but also for disorders of the bowel(肠)including cancer.”
Rice is the main food for more than half the world’s population, providing much of the world with most of their calories. Smith said that as the rate of diabetes and obesity in Asian countries continued to grow, his “designer” rice could provide a way to limit health problems.
“Not only does resistant starch reduce the possibility of a ‘sugar hit’ but it also reduces the appetite and promotes the growth of the healthy germs.” Smith said.
Smith divides his time between the University of Tasmania and his research lab in Beijing where he hopes to make significant advance in sustainable (可持续的)living.
1.What do we know about the study?
A. It is part of Chinese crop improvement projects.
B. It will have a significant effect on crop researches.
C. It was jointly(联合地)carried out by Australia and China.
D. It helps solve the food problem for over half of the world’s population.
2.Based on the text, the resistant starch ________.
A. exists in large amounts in cooked rice
B. decreases the possibility of a “sugar hit” and provides more calories
C. is helpful in digestion and lowers the rate of overweight and diabetes
D. increases people’s appetite and improves the growth of healthy germs
3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. resistant starch B. cooked rice
C. the approach D. media release
4.Where does this text probably come from?
A. An environmental report. B. A medical journal.

Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the extreme experiment of Frederick in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the babies died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation (剥夺,丧失). What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the ability to survive is seriously affected.
Today no such extreme deprivation exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to signals of the baby, whose brain is programmed, to mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems when children learn more rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.
Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.
Recent evidence suggests that a baby is born with the ability to speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy bear with the sound pattern “teddy bear”.
But speech has to be developed, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling, clinging, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals reduces the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal (非语言的) signals is basic to the growth and development of language.
1.Frederick’s experiment was extreme because _________.
A.he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speak
B.he wanted his nurses to say another language
C.he was unkind to the nurses
D.he ignored the importance of mothering to the babies
2.The reason that some children are backward in speaking is most likely that _________.
A.they do not listen carefully to their mothers
B.their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speak
C.their brain has to absorb too much language at once
D.their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them
3.In paragraph 3, by “critical times” the author means _________.
A.difficult periods in the child’s life
B.moments when the child becomes critical towards its mother
C.important stages in the child’s development
D.times when mothers often neglect their children
4.If a child starts to speak later than others, he will _________ in future.
A.have a high IQ B.be less intelligent
C.not necessarily be backward D.be insensitive to verbal signals
5.If the mother seldom responds to her child’s signals, _________.
A.the child will be able to speak properly
B.the child will continue to give out signals
C.the child will invent a language of own
D.the child will make little effort to speak

Plastic is one of the most important technological discoveries of the 20th century. However, it may soon be replaced. The new development- liquid wood- can replace plastics in all branches of modern-day industries.
Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modern world, but it does have a number of drawbacks. First and foremost, plastic isn’t recyclable. Secondly, it contains toxins (毒物) helping develop cancerous diseases. Finally, it’s made of oil and oil reserves aren’t endless.
The liquid wood technology is likely to replace plastic and providing mankind with new materials for many years ahead. Norbert Eisenfreich, a senior researcher at the Faunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology in Germany (ICT), said that arboform, the new material, is made of lignin(木素质), which can be obtained from soft tissues of wood. Once mixed with several other matenals, it turns into solid and non-toxic alternative for plastics.
ICT team leader Emilia Regina Inone-Kauffmann said the wood-working industry separates wood into three basic components, including lignin. Lignin isn’t used for the production of paper. Specialists of ICT mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and molded (铸型).
When solid, arboform looks like plastic and possesses tho qualitie of polished wood. It can be used for the production of any items. Arboform is already used for the production of car parts which require extra strength. In addition, liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly. The material preserved all of its qualities even if it’s reprocessed ten times.
However, the new invention doesn’t enjoy an extensive use due to the high content of sulfur(硫) in it. German researchers are sure to reduce the amount of sulfur by 90% very soon to make arboform usable for home needs.
71. According to the passage, plastic________.
A. helps us to reduce the use of petrol
B. helps to protect our environment in some way
C. does harm to our society in some way
D. has been replaced by the newly discovered material
72. What’s the advantage of arboform over plastic?
A. It is easier made from natural oil.
B. It is more widely used in household
C. It is recyclable and friendly to environment.
D. It contains no poisonous materials.
73. The underlined word “altemative” in Paragraph 3 means________.
A. lignin or arboform B.soft tissues of wood
C. plastics or wood D. mixture of several materials
74. It can be concluded that German researchers will focus their future work firstly on________.
A. the material’s extensive use B. the content of sulfur in arboform
C. the production cost of arboform D. the qualities of liquid wood
75. The main purpose of the text is to________.
A.introduce liquid wood which will replace plastic
B.show readers how to produce arboform
C.advertise the new material-arboform
D.advertise new products made of arboform

Age has its privileges in America, and one of the most important of them is the senior citizen discount. Eligibility(资格) is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate. The discounts have become a routine part of many businesses—as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.
People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them; yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent (有支付能力的). Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that "elderly" means "needy". Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren’t.
It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases, the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant(刺激物) in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.
Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involve a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point. Supported by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job—thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.
Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a privilege to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.
It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can’t take care of themselves and need special treatment; and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against—discrimination by age.
Outline | Details |
Introduction | Age determines whether an American can be given a discount, which is a common 1. in American business life today. |
Origin of senior citizen discount | Since the senior citizens are often treated as people who are in 2., they are given such priority. |
3.situation | ●The situation has changed a lot where the majority of the elderly are not poor at all. ●Younger Americans were at a(n) 4. directly or indirectly due to the discounts given to the elderly, thus leading to conflicts between generations. ●The number of older Americans 5. to work rather than retire is on the increase, which means 6. opportunities for young workers. ●It is no longer a kind of charity because millions of senior citizens don’t need the priority 7. now. |
Conclusion | ●It’s unwise to offer discount priority to the elderly. ●It will mislead people to think they are unable to 8. to themselves. ●People may think that they are ungrateful and they’re hurting the 9. of other age groups. ●Actually senior citizen discounts, to some extent,10. against their age. |
