Experts in nutrition suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 1.

It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons：

2. You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.

You may want to cut down on your “food miles”—the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3.

Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 4. You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more important things that keep you healthy.

5. And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard. Some food can grow well in pots, including tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.

A.Best of all, you can grow your own!

B.That's not so good for you, or for the planet.

C.Food that you grow yourself is always fresh.

D.If you have a large garden, growing your own is easy.

E.You can control what goes on and into the food you eat.

Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers.

However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude (海拔)we can't taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of the sensibility (感觉)of our taste buds (味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don't know it.

All of these helps explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

1.In Paragraph 2, "this problem" refers to "________".

A.passengers stay long in the plane B.food on the plane tastes bad

C.passengers have no food to eat D.food on the plane is expensive

2.As the plane moves up, how much of the sensibility of our taste buds does the change in air pressure reduce?

A.One fifth. B.One fourth. C.One third. D.Half.

3.Why do scientists feel it hard to make food on the plane taste good?

A.Because they can't find enough volunteers.

B.Because the volunteers don't understand them.

C.Because the volunteers don't know about food taste.

D.Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Airplane Travel. B.The Change in Air Pressure.

C.Taste of Airplane Food. D.Scientific Research on Noses.

When we are born, we are given names that stay with us for our whole lives. Some names include good wishes and hopes from parents, while others may be special and easy to remember. But do you know how the new coronavirus got its name?

The task of naming a virus is no less important than naming a person. When a disease breaks out, the official(官方的) naming of a new virus is often late and may lead to many problems. Over the past ten years, some improper names have caused problems. In 2009, the "swine flu(猪流感)" was widely used before the official name, HINI virus, was announced. This led Egypt to kill all of its pigs even though it didn't spread among people who hadn't been near pigs. In 2015, the name MERS(Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, 中东呼吸综合征)made people of this region angry.

So in 2015, the World Health Organization(WHO)announced that the names of viruses should be easy to remember but avoid being named after places, people, animals and foods. Following these rules, the new coronavirus we are suffering from was named "COVID-19" by the WHO on Feb 11, 2020. In this name, "CO" means "corona", "VI" sands for "virus" and "D" means "disease".

1.When our parents name us, they __________.

A.often put their hopes on us B.try to make the names special

C.can easily remember our names D.let the names stay with us longer

2.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.Naming a virus is not very important.

B.Naming a person or a virus is a difficult task.

C.Naming a virus is as important as naming a person.

D.Naming a person is more important than naming a virus.

3.Which is true according to the second paragraph?

A.MERS killed many pigs in Egypt. B.HINI virus could spread among people.

C.A new virus isn't often named officially in time. D.Improper names caused viruses to spread widely.

4.What do we know about MERS virus?

A.It broke out in 2009. B.It was named after places.

C.It got its name from WHO. D.It made local people angry.

5.Which of the following is the main idea of this text?

A.How does WHO deal with viruses? B.Why does a new virus have a name?

C.What have viruses done to the world? D.How did the new coronavirus get its name?

Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.

The first person down the street was a milkman with his car (小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here? “he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.

The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”

Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself. “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”

After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
