Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need．It has been demonstrated（证明）that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles．When a fragrant（香的）flavor（作料）was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water．In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were．

In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them．They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in．We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet．

So, in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them．Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose．Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could．Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-formed habits．Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs．So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them．

1.In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats’ drinking water to _____________ .

A．encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched water

B．test whether rats know which drink is good for them

C．find out rats’ preference in flavor

D．demonstrate the vitamins are tasteless

2.According to the passage ,adults eating habits differ from those of babies because_________．

A．adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health

B．adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods

C．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

D．adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs

3.The author implied in the passage that most of us_________．

A．eat a balanced diet

B．choose the food that is of nutrition

C．have the habits influenced by the surroundings

D．like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor．

4.As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_________．

A．both prefer flavored food and drink

B．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet

C．both have the same eating patterns

D．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

A job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self-worth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms. Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员).

Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated ( 移 居 ). It was extremely difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?

“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old, what are you working for?’ I was very unhappy.” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of Ms. Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.

“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy,” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms. Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms. Cheng was caught between honour and employment. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually she took heart and went off to work as a courier.

Ms. Cheng’s employer is delighted with her. “Ms. Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but young ones will,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit (招募) young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”

1.Why was it difficult for Ms. Cheng to find another nursing job?

A.Nursing clinics were hard to find.

B.She found it difficult to trust others.

C.People thought she was too old to work.

D.People didn’t think she had enough work experience.

2.Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because .

A.it was too difficult

B.she was too old to do the job

C.she was bored with changeless jobs

D.the other staff made her feel uncomfortable

3.Employee’s Retraining Board is aimed at .

A.finding jobs for older people

B.teaching new skills to older people

C.training older people to be healthier

D.providing older people with chances to earn money

4.According to Anthony Chong, young people .

A.are able and reliable

B.are less experienced than the older ones

C.are fitter and stronger than the older ones

D.are more likely to give up than the older ones

5.From the text, we can learn Ms. Cheng is _____ .
