Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中风).

New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t reach more than the daily level.

The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.

A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.

I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.

1.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.

A．white people                          B．black people

C．untreated diseases                      D．high blood pressure and diabetes

2.What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?

A．Black people take in too much salt.

B．Black people’s meals are very special.

C．Processed foods have too much salt in them.

D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.

3.What would the writer probably suggest black people do?

A．Order no salad in a restaurant.             B．Take in no salt for several days.

C．Stop cooking their favorite meals.           D．Eat less takeaways.

4.The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to _______.

A．thank those who came to his home for his research

B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier

C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home

D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is

5.What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Watch the salt                          B．Take care, black people

C．Say no to takeaways                     D．Say no to high blood pressure

If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to smoke without first asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops, cold water is usually served before you order. You may find the bread and the butter are free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores and restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in big cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Servings in restaurants are often large. If you can’t finish the meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask the waiter or the waitress for a “doggie bag”(剩菜袋). It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking the food for yourself.

Tips are not usually added to the check. You should leave a tip of about 15% on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a waiter or waitress often bring your check on a plate, and you can put your money there. Then the waiter or the waitress brings you your changes.

九年级英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析

When you were very young, you liked to play with your friends. Did you find that playtime was always more fun when everyone shared the toys? Everyone got a turn. No one was left out.

That’s a life lesson that changes as you get older. As you grow up, you begin to understand that others have less than you do － in China and in the world. And that those of us who “have” things should help those who “ have less” than we do. The idea of sharing makes a great difference.

At your age, you can “share” with people in need in three ways.

1. You can give them a part of your money. Many adults do that regularly.

2. You can share items you no longer use, such as clothing and toys. You can pass them onto others who cannot buy them.

3. You can help people by giving your time and your energy.

The last one is also called volunteering. Volunteering is about giving your time to take part in activities that will help others. Every year, many thousands of volunteers in the world give the most valuable gift of all. They give their time. They give their talent. They give of themselves. And they are enjoying it. Volunteering isn’t just about work. It’s about fun too.
