8.What did you eat for lunch today?Did you choose this dish because it was healthy,cheap or because it was just very tasty?Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner?
I love exploring trends in food.‘Fusion(融合) cuisine'is not for everybody.My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century.Chef and food writer Ching-He Huang,who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC,is a fan of the movement.She says:"Fusion has been happening for centuries,for as long as people have travelled,but with the Internet,and global travel,the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster."
Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made‘fusion'elegant.He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s.This European dug into Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs.He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter."I believe authenticity is about evolution,not repeating your grandmoter's recipe."he explains."Cooking is like painting or writing a song.Just as there are only so many notes or colours.there are only so many flavours-it's how you combine them that sets you apart."
My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement.Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong,it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally.Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers.
All these trends give us food for thought.We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks.Tomorrow,why not find an exotic restaurant and enjoy a feast?You dress trendy so eat trendy!
28.Fusion cuisine isD.
A.a(chǎn) BBC cooking programme      
B.a(chǎn) balanced diet rich in nutrition
C.a(chǎn) new trend of global travelling   
D.a(chǎn) combination of different cooking styles
29.What do we learn about Wolfgang Puck?D
A.He knew little about Asian cuisine. 
B.He owed his success to his love for painting.
C.He was well received by Europeans.
D.He was in favor of creation in cooking.

16.Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast?Recently a test was given in the United States.Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83.During the experiment,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts,and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.The results showed that if a person eats a proper breakfast,he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast.This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains.If a student eats fruit,eggs,bread and milk before going to school,he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class.Contrary to what many people believe,if you don't eat breakfast,you will not lose weight.This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch,and end up gaining some weight instead of losing some.You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
21.During the test,those who were tested were givenD.
A.no breakfast at all

3.How many times have you laughed today?Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh?In the whole animal kingdom,only we humans are capable (有能力的) of laughter.On average,we laugh about 17times a day.
Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant.Have you noticed that when you laugh,many parts of your body respond (反應(yīng))?Your face changes expression,your breathing changes,and muscles throughout your body are affected.
An interesting story dates back to 1962.In a school in Tanganyika,in Africa,a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke.This laughter became epidemic (傳染的),jumping from one person to the next,spreading across communities,and lasting for six months!So strong was the"laughter epidemic"that schools had to shut down till it ended.
How we laugh remains a mystery.Whatever the reasons,laughter,as the saying goes,"is the best medicine."In fact,science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses.
Laughing exercises all the important muscles,and keeps you fit.People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses.They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together.Laughter spreads,so this exercise works best in groups; once one person starts laughing,others automatically (自動(dòng)地) join in.
32.The underlined word"spontaneous"in the second paragraph probably means"B".
A.perfect            
B.natural          
C.strange           
D.terrible
33.People have formed laughter clubs toD.
A.kill time          
B.relax         
C.meet others        
D.keep healthy
34.The best title for the passage would beC.
A.A Laughter Epidemic
B.How Laughter Helps Cure Disease
C.Laughter,What It Is,and What It Can Do
D.The Relationship Between Laughter and Health
35.The passage is probably taken from a(n)A.
A.health magazine        
B.a(chǎn)d          
C.novel         
D.medical book.

13.Tea farmers in Kenya are suffering because of low prices for their crop this year.So they have exchanged their tea bushes for a healthy new"purple tea"that they hope ill sell for a higher price.But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried.Nelson Kibara is one of them.He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profits.He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.
Mr.Kibara ad hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya.Its leaves are purple and brown.When the tea is boiled,the drink has a purple color.Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea.They say it is healthier than black tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of black tea.
But Mr.Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop.He says the market for the tea is unstable(不穩(wěn)定的) and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves.He says there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea than black tea.
Stephen Mutembei works at the Tea Research Foundation.He says farmers quickly changed from growing black tea to growing purple tea.But he also blames tea leave processors for not making changes more quickly.
But Mr.Mutembei says purple tea is an importnt crop for the country and its tea farmers.He says Kenya needs to find new products like purple tea to help its tea industry become more stable.Tea is the country's top crop.Mr.Mutembei says the country's economy is too closely linked to the changing price of black tea.He says tea buyers and drinkers must be persuaded that they should pay more for purple tea than black tea.
"Because farmers,they have planted already,you cannot tell them to uproot.At this level we should not just say‘we don't have a market'forever.We should be doing something to find a good market."
21.What can we learn about the purple tea?C
A.It is as cheap and healthy as the black tea.
B.It can make the drink brown when boiled.
C.It has been planted in some areas of Kenya.
D.It as helped some kenyan farmers earn a lot of money.
22.What does the author want to tell us in Paragarph3?B
A.The purple tea sells well in the market.
B.The market for purple tea in kenya needs to be developed.
C.The price of the purple tea is lower than the green tea.
D.The purple tea is becoming popular with Kenyan people.
23.What is Stephen Mutembei's attitude towards the purple tea?A
A.Favorable.
B.Uncaring.
C.Doubtful
D.critical
24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?D
A.Different Kinds of Tea in Kenya
B.Kenyan Economy and Tea crop
C.Purple Tea Has Replaced Green Tea in Kenya
D.Low Prices Cause Kenyan Farmers to change Tea Crop.

Last Friday,we were organized to pay a visit to China Science and Technology Museum.Upon arrival,we were given an introduction about the various exhibition areas of the museum at the main hall.We listened very carefullyand were attracted to the exhibition of science and life.
Entering the exhibition hall,we were amazed by the splendid space models including the China Railway High-speed (CRH),the spacecraft and the rockets,which appealed many of us to take photos and have a hot discussion.Lots of us agreed that our country is on the high way to getting stronger.Knowing that there's a chance to experiencethe making of the space models in person in the DIY area,we rushed to there without any hesitation.There,under joint efforts,we made a model plane with what we learned in the exhibition hall,which pleased all of us.
Time flied,we didn't want but we had to bid farewell to the museum and the fabulous exhibition.On the way home,the school bus was boiled with excitement.We laughed and promised ourselvesthat we would try our best to make our motherland much stronger.In my mind,there was a sweet dream rising in which Idiscovered an unknown land with a new spacecraft from our Shenzhouseries.Icouldn't help smiling from the bottomof my heart..
