Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork and chopsticks!
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes.Thanks to this， Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. Even today he still does not take to eating things like chicken feet．
But I enjoy that sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher's and asked, "Do you have pigs' ears？" "No," the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, "just these ordinary ones." He must have thought I was joking．
Dad can cook a super "full English breakfast" of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast.We all love roast beef and vegetables．
I'll never forget my first visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu, someday.
People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures．
1.What can we learn from this passage？ ______
A.I have enjoyed the food from two cultures since a little child．
B.Because of my Mum， Dad loves all kinds of Chinese food．
C.We all like roast beef and vegetables except Mum．
D.I have fallen in love with the stinky tofu now．
2.What kind of person did the butcher probably think the author was？ ______
A.Generous． B.Mean．
C.Humorous． D.Serious．
3.What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean？ ______
A.Resist． B.Like．
C.Allow． D.Mind．
4.What's the passage mainly about？ ______
A.Comparing two different cultures．
B.Trying some different foods．
C.Different eating habits in China and Britain．
D.The eating experiences of a mixed-race family．

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish(茂盛). If you don’t give them water, they die.” I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, “Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I’ve always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
I decided to leave, and Dad tried to stay me from the decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”
As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine in the U.K.. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.
1.What can we know about the author’s father?
A. He seldom looked for the best.
B. He was a specialist in law.
C. He usually encouraged kids.
D. He was a father without principles.
2.The author left school at 15 mainly because ________.
A. the school forced him to
B. he had to work for money
C. his father understood him
D. He had a dream to fulfill
3.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.
A. persuade me out of B. accuse me of
C. remind me of D. agree with me on
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Be nice to others B. My Respectable Father
C. My Happy Childhood D. Go Fulfill Your Dream

British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.
Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.
Bunyan’s style was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.
Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).
The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor — life as a journey — is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.
“The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they got away and reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.
1.According to the passage, Bunyan hated the rich people mainly because ______.
A. his father was making and mending pots and kettles
B. Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundings
C. the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest ways
D. Bunyan studied the Bible to save the human souls
2.What are the main characteristics of Bunyan’s works?
① The languages are concrete and living.
② The stories are carefully and vividly described.
③ The plots are romantic and twisting.
④ The works are easy to understand.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D.①②④
3.John Bunyan wrote the book The Pilgrim’s Progress in order to ______.
A. advise people to obey religious principles for salvation
B. tell people that life is a simple and familiar journey
C. add spiritual significance to the commonplace details
D. to combine the strange things with the familiar things
4.What moral does the story of the last paragraph convey to us?
A. Any imaginable things might happen in a pilgrim’s dream.
B. Christian the Pilgrim likes reading the Bible with a burden.
C. People can struggle against weaknesses and evils for salvation
D. People can enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.

I was an extremely verbal child, and growing up with my dad was an experiment in linguistics(语言学). My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes” or “No.” There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.
My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl. I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply “Yes”. I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: “A boy.” Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.
Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed. Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room: Mr. Ernst—Eleven-Year-Old Boys.
1. In order to get Dad to agree to the author’s outing, the author had to make up the following EXCEPT _____.
A. the friends I shall meet in the activity
B. the activity is a chance for anyone
C. the place where the activity is to be held
D. the time that I shall spend in the activity
2. When the author says “My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.”, it means that when she was young _____.
A. her father once gave her a lesson about patience and long-lasting pain
B. her father’s brief phone messages angered her a lot but made her patient
C. she was trained to be patient and brave because of her father’s brief phone messages
D. she suffered and had to be patient because of her father’s brief phone messages
3. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “break the ice” in Paragraph 3?
A. Make the ice crack. B. Stop talking.
C. Start a talk. D. Interrupt a talk.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. My father would answer me with “Yes, but be home by dinner” sometimes.
B. I came into contact with just a few great teenage guys because I was active in high school.
C. That my father would teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Weekday school class surprised me.
D. I always wanted to know how my father, who talked so little, taught the boys.
