As we enjoyed our coffee, a young man________ glasses entered and sat at an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there _________the wall.”

When he left, the waiter __________ a piece of paper on the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee”.

While we were still there,___________ middle-aged men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but _________ three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same. He put a piece of paper on the wall saying, “A Cup of Coffee”.

There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps his word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts.” said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”

In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate nonsweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

1.The underlined word “it” refers to(指代) ______.

A．the sweet food B．the eating habit

C．the American team D．the English saying

2.According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people ______.

A．overweight B．excited C．relaxed D．friendly

3.The scientists found that the people who preferred _____ were less helpful.

A．ice-cream B．chocolate C．chips D．cookies

4.It can be learnt from the passage that _____.

A．scientists asked college students questions about their future

B．scientists told college students not to eat sweet food

C．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others

D．people’s character has nothing to do with their taste.

I live in a town. In the past, the air wasn’t fresh. There was a river. People put rubbish in it. The water went bad. The fishes in the river died. There was much rubbish in the streets which weren’t wide. It smelt terrible. People lived in low old houses with trees all around and had a terrible life. The children couldn’t have many chances to go out to cities, not to say, have a good education. Farmers worked only with their hands. They worked very hard all year round. They planted crops(農(nóng)作物)with the help of animals. The poor people went anywhere on foot, and only some rode bikes. Few visitors came here to spend their holidays.

At present, things have been greatly changed. People have moved into big bright houses or beautiful buildings. There is a big factory. Many people work in it. They are getting richer. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the big streets. It is faster and easier to travel. People plant many fruit trees and get much money. People plant crops with the help of machines which can save lots of work. Students can study in a modem school. People pay more attention to the environmental protection. The mountains are becoming greener, water much cleaner. What around us is the clearer sky and greener water. As a result, many visitors come here to spend their holidays. People enjoy their modern life. But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. We must do something to stop pollution to make our town more and more beautiful.

In class, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you when you take tests. So you must take good notes from what your teachers say.

Here are the three stages(階段)of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.

1．Before Class

Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.

2．During Class

Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words” that tell you, what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…” Be sure to include the information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations(縮略詞)such as med for medicine, using symbols such as ％ for percent, and writing short sentences.

3．After Class

Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(準確的)by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.
