Coffee is a necessary part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have definitely drunk a lot of it!

Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or a bar, you are presented with a tiny, bitter espresso(蒸馏咖啡). This is "normal coffee" for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. In addition, while take-away coffee is extremely popular among Englishmen, it is not very common at all in Italy especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.

Typically, breakfast at a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(油酥糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafes in the Italian town I'm living in these cafes sell a series of mouth-watering pastries-either plain or filled with cream, chocolate, jam or Nutella-as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry is the perfect way to start the day. I think it's a nice way to head to bar to buy a coffee and a pastry for breakfast before working and it's relaxing to take more time to enjoy such breakfast at the weekend.

Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Of course, this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee regularly without breaking the bank.

1.Which of the following do Italians like better?

A.Takeaway coffees. B.Huge coffees.

C.Creamy coffees. D.Tiny, bitter coffees

2.What does the word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Italians. B.Britons. C.Coffees. D.Cafes.

3.Why can the writer often go out for coffee in Italy?

A.Because coffee is a part of Italian culture. B.Because there are so many cafes or bars.

C.Because Italian pastries are very delicious. D.Because Italian coffee is very cheap.

A) 阅读下面短文, 根据所读内容, 在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

In our culture, the ability to make one’s own decision is important. John F. Kennedy’s quote “Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” shows an unpleasant truth.

Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.

In today’s world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学) tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or it comes from someone we respect, it is probable that we believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions, we will become nothing more than parrots quoting the opinions of others.

Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe anything that they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click of the “share” button, and the story travels on its way to affect even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.

If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but few take that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply realizing it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we realize that we tend to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to think for ourselves and form our own opinions.

Title: Enjoy the discomfort of 1.

The fact

◆ We often accept others’ opinions 2. of thinking for ourselves.

Findings

◆ Lots of information, ideas and beliefs are quite 3. from each other

◆ People click the button and7. the fake news with others.

◆ The fake news has a bad 8. on more unthinking readers.

◆ Serious problems will be caused because of this behavior.

Way out

9. we can stop to think and become better thinkers, few people give it a try.

◆ Being 10. of the bad habit of thinking can help correct it.

◆ It is hoped that we can enjoy thinking for ourselves and have our own opinions.
