I'm not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them-to be honest. We'd have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.

Today my friends show off the unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they're thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.

Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you'd find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he's an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He'd pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it.

Take Andy. You won't find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he's a CEO without a company to run. So he plays “Mafia Wars” on Facebook. He's doing well-level 731.Thanks to Facebook, I know he's playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you've run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?

Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.

In real life, I don't see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They're nice, smart people. But facing Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.

I'm left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人) on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he's at a party and the wine isn't up to his standards?

1.Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?

A. Fred.　　 B. Andy.　　 C. Liz.　　 D. Chris.

2.According to the text, Facebook tends to ________.

A. present another side of people

B. offer some food for free

C. show endless advertisements

D. get you to attend more parties

3.The text is developed mainly by ________.

A. giving examples　　　　 B. following the time order

C. listing figures　　　　 D. raising questions

4.The author focuses on the question of “________”.

A. what is Facebook?　　　　 　　 B. what happened to golf?

C. who is my real friend?　 　　 D. who can help me?

Many Western people are not used to sitting on the floor any more. In Japan, however, sitting upright on the floor is common in different situations. For example, meals are traditionally had when people sit on the tatami (榻榻米) loor around a low table. Also during the tea ceremony and other traditional events, one sits on the floor.

The formal way of sitting for both men and women is kneeling upright. People who are not used to sitting in this style may feel uncomfortable after a few minutes, and their legs may go numb. However, foreigners are not usually expected to be able to sit in this style for a long time, and an increasing number of Japanese people themselves aren’t able to do so, owing to a more westernized lifestyle.

In other situations, men usually sit cross-legged, while women sit on their knees laying both legs to one side. The former sitting style is considered wholly male, while the latter is considered completely female.

The most important guest sits on the honored seat which is set farthest from the entrance. If there is a tokonoma (壁龛) in the room, the guest should be seated in front of it. The host or the least important person is supposed to sit next to the entrance. Of course, there are other things to be considered in each particular case.

1. Which of the following situations is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. When men and women meet.

B. When a tea ceremony is held.

C. When traditional events are held.

D. When meals are traditionally had.

2. According to the passage we can learn that ______.

A. more and more Japanese sit in the formal way

B. foreigners should always sit in the formal style in a Japanese home

C. men shouldn’t sit on their knees laying both legs to one side

D. men and women in Japan sit in the same informal way

3. When some guests are in a Japanese home, _______ should sit nearest to the entrance.

A. the host himself

B. both the host and the hostess

C. the host or the least important person

D. the most important guest

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How foreigners should sit in Japanese homes.

B. How foreigners should behave in Japanese homes.

C. Where to sit in Japanese homes.

D. How and where to sit in Japanese homes.

I am in my 40s,but today I look more like a teenage girl. Not because I'm wearing the　 latest fashion or having a wild hair day. It's because I have a pimple(青春痘) that looks like a volcano getting ready to erupt on my chin.

“Mom, what is that?” my 8-year-old daughter Lucy exclaimed, pointing at the ugly bump on my face.

My in-laws were visiting and brought me a box of chocolates-one of my favorite foods. Eating properly seemed like a good idea until I was alone with that box of chocolates! I enjoyed them greatly, and my pimple proved my enthusiasm clearly.

Food can be a large block for me. Broccoli(西蓝花)seldom appeals to me, but baked goods with sugar or crispy chips certainly do. I have no problem dipping a large spoon into a jar of peanut butter or frosting to satisfy my desires. But you won't catch me tasting a　 spoonful of cottage cheese for a late-night snack.

Please don't misunderstand me. There is certainly a place for celebration foods such as cake and ice cream. But a regular serving of daily junk food robs me of the nutrition offered in the foods I eat.

I know I feel better after eating an apple than I do after eating a candy bar. It's so easy in　 our society to eat processed food out of boxes, bags, and at the drive-thru. But that ease comes at a cost: We suffer physically. Our taste buds may be very, lack nutrition, which opens the door to diseases, I'm trying to ask myself a few questions before reaching for a snack or making a meal: Is this really food?　　　

Is there something God made in it? Am I really hungry? Will I feel satisfied, but our bodies better after eating this?

1.What made the author feel she looked like a teenage girl?

A.Her wild hair. B.Her ugly face.

2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A.The author eats chocolates as food.

B.Chocolates may cause her pimples.

C.The author's parents-in-law often visit her.

D.The author eats chocolates to cure pimples.

3.What do you think of the author's eating habit?

A.It lacks protein. B.It isn't delicious.

C.It makes her healthy. D.It isn't a balanced diet.

4.What is the author's attitude towards processed food?

A.Favorable. B.Optimistic.

C.Positive. D.Critical.
