Given that many people's moods (情緒)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drug store of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie&the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.

If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.

The CRF's produce is "green" made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆),cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others.

1.What is good about chocolate?

A. It serves as a suitable gift.

B. It works as an effective medicine.

C. It helps improve the state of mind.

D. It strengthens business relations.

2.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?

A. He knows the importance of research.

B. He learns form shops of similar types.

C. He has the support of many big names

D. He has a lot of marketing experience.

1.C

2.D

【解析】

試題分析: 作者介紹了新加坡的Chocolate Research Facility (CRF)及其創(chuàng)始人、巧克力的種類及生產(chǎn)情況。

1.C細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第一段中:Given that many people's moods (情緒)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate可知:許多人的情緒是由巧克力的化學反應控制的。故選C。

2. 細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第三段中:If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony.(如果CRF似乎是一個聰明的主意,那是因為Lee不僅是一位有經(jīng)驗的銷售商,而且他是和許多像Levi's and Sony大公司有業(yè)務聯(lián)系的市場部門的首腦。)可知D正確,故選D

Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress

A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小費). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.

Work in a library

If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.

Internet jobs

There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.

1.What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?

A. It needs a period of training.

B. It pays much more than other jobs.

C. It can improve one’s leadership skills.

D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.

2.A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.

A. in a restaurant B. in a library

C. on the Internet D. in an IT company

3. The writer wrote this text to ______.

A. tell us the importance of doing part-time jobs

B. advise teenagers how to choose a part-time job

C. teach young people how to make lots of money

D. introduce his/her experience of doing part-time jobs

4. Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys?

A. The teens have more free time.

B. They can pay less to the teens.

John Dalton was born in England in 1766. As a small child, John worked in the fields with his older brother, and helped his father in the cloth-making shop. Most poor boys at that time received no education, but John was lucky to attend a nearby school. John was a good student and loved learning. His teachers encouraged him to study many things.

When he was twelve, he opened his first school in a nearby town, but there was very little money. He had to close his school and work in his uncle’s field.

Three years later, he ran a school in Kendall, England with his brother and a friend. They taught many subjects. There, John studied the weather and the nature around him. He collected butterflies and snails. He did many other scientific tests.

In 1793, John moved to Manchester to teach at New College, and began observing the behavior of gases. He began to think about different elements (元素) and how they are made up of.

In 1808, Dalton published a book, A New System of Chemical Philosophy. His atomic masses were not all careful and exact, but they formed the basis for the modern periodic table (元素周期表).

John Dalton died in 1844 in England. Today, scientists everywhere accept Dalton’s idea of how the atoms were made. A simple country boy showed the world a new way of thinking about the universe and how it is made.

A. John Dalton was born into a poor family in England
