We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every single d　　 1.　 of all the events in her daily life.

Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would f　　 2.　　 within days—as if it had happened just moments ago.

“I remember my mum placing me in the driver’s seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was

twelve years old,” she said. “That’s my e　 3.　 memory. I remember every day since then. I can’t tell all the dates e　　 4. because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that day, what the weather was like and so on.”

Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she’s eating something unpleasant, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so 5.p　　　　 that she can nearly “taste” it.

However, there are times when her memories prove to be painful as it’s not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings r　　 6.　　 ,too.” Rebecca said. “For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents’ house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”

“At night, I have to sleep with the r　　 7. and a soft light on,” she added. “If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all those memories and I can’t sleep.”

Recently,CCTV reporter have asked a simple question, “Are you happy?”

The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who recently won a Nobel Prize, answered by saying “I don’t know.”

We should ask “What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure(测量) it？”.

Many argue that happiness is elusive. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough money to buy a new bicycle; for others, it’s about socializing(社交活动) or finding the perfect spouse(配偶).

Chen Shangyuan, 21, a college student, said his idea of happiness always evolves(进化). “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day”, he said. “It might be linked to(联系) job security (安全) or leisure(休闲) time after I graduate.”

Much has been said and written recently about heroes, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they all seem to have two things in common. First, heroes, by their actions, show the great possibilities of human nature. Second, heroes can also stand the test of time, and their achievements will not be easily forgotten. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.

Olympic sports star Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who is believed to be a hero, warns young people to be careful of making athletes heroes. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has achieved her goals by working hard. Joyner-Kersee says that a hero should be someone who has an influence on another person’s life.

Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well and to be concerned about the greater good. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions that improve the world, even if only in small ways.

Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history.” Thus, if a person is truly worthy to be called a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.

We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect people who have been there, done that, and succeeded. Many times the greatest heroes are the people we deal with every day — relatives（亲戚）, friends, and neighbors — who will keep going when it is easier to give up. The parent who puts her or his family ahead of herself or himself, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help others — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero quietly and continuously sets a good example, an example that inspires others to follow.

1.Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ______.

A. will work hard　　 B. will become heroes

C. will follow her　　 D. will achieve her goal

2. The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ______.

A. volunteers　　　　　　　　　　 B. reporters

3.From the passage we know that ______.

A. there are fewer heroes than before

C. heroes should be polite, patient and famous

D. heroes have to reach the standard required for them

4. The best title for this passage is ______.

Ying Dishes In North and South China

There have been many discussions about the differences in diet between the North and South in China. For example, the northern Chinese may wonder why　 southerners must have stir-fried vegetables as the last dish for a meal, while the southerners may be surprised to know that people from north are used to hoarding　 cabbages before winter.

Recently, different understandings of ying dishes caused another round discussion on the internet.

In northern China, ying dishes refer to those which are special and delicious enough to show your warmth　 when you treat　 guests. Dishes with plenty of meat and fish are often considered as ying dishes which are usually served in basins rather than plates. Some said that ying dishes are quite common in the North, which are usually made of　 completely beef, lamb and pork and other kinds of meat. People cook these kinds of meat together with sauce in a large pot.

For most southern Chinese, however, ying dishes are quite unfamiliar. Seven out of eight styles of Chinese cuisine （菜系）come from southern parts of China, which have different kinds of cooking methods. The　 dishes are put on the fine plates . There are a large number of ying dishes　 in South China with perfect colors, smells and tastes.

In Guangdong province for example, soup is an important part of Guangdong cuisine. It stress exquisite (精致的) preparations and provides enjoyment with well-chosen ingredients and beautiful presentation. Soup is usually stewed (炖)for several hours with vegetables or seafood rather than　 meat, and is often considered as the ying dish . It is said that soup should always be served first on the table with great expectations and people will comment after trying. A restaurant which is unable to provide satisfying soup is often considered a failure.

After the heated discussion, people from different provinces　 willingly and proudly shared the ying dishes in their hometown. What about you? Would you like to share some ying dishes in your hometown?
