Dr. Albert Schweitzer was a jungle doctor in Africa. He was born in France. He had learned to play the piano since he was five and he was a very good musician. He decided to be a doctor when he was 30 years old. Then he studied medicine for eight years. After that, he asked to be sent to Africa in 1913.

Dr. Schweitzer took big boxes of medicine with him to Africa. He had to go through a lot of dangerous places. At first the new white doctor was not welcome, but soon the people of Africa understood that he was their friend and they helped him build his first small hospital near a river. Many people came to the hospital. Dr. Schweitzer worked day and night.

When he ran out of money and needed more medicine, he would go back to Europe to play music to make money. Then he would return to Africa. Later he built a bigger hospital. He spent most of his life in Africa, not only helping sick people but also teaching the people how to help each other.

During World War I, he was sent to prison. He found that war was more terrible than diseases (疾病 ). When the war was over, he made a speech everywhere to propose (提倡) peace and respect (尊敬) for lives. In 1952, he was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解，選擇正確答案。 Why do plants grow in some places and not in the others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.

The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables. Between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., people enjoy a smaller meal with their families.

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推車). But they always finish eating before walking away.

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ. Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast. Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers. Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns. American restaurant servings tend to be huge. But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common.

【1】People of Egypt usually start a day with ________.

A. a drink B. a bagel

C. some meat D. some vegetables
