Pizza and French fries taste good. Unfortunately, kids in the United States are eating _______salty foods like them.

The salt we add to food is about 40% sodium(钠). Our bodies need some sodium to work _______, but too much of it is not healthy.

Success seems to be what everyone longs for in life no matter how old he is. Students want to succeed at study. Adults look forward to their success at work. Have you ever wondered what is the key to success? Some may say the answer is good luck. Some may say hard work is the key. In fact, hard work really does pay off. Scientists find that perseverance(坚持不解) leads to better grades and higher achievements in school.

“Being passionate(热情的) is not enough to make sure that you can achieve success in your schoolwork,” say researchers, and they thought of “courage” as a key to success. Courage is also considered as effort in reaching long-term goals, and a strong will to continue one’s efforts no matter what difficulties they might go through.

Researchers think that the finding could help create new training to help children develop the skill and help them to succeed in their future.

Researchers from the Academy of Finland studied more than 2,000 students from Helsinki. They were followed through their learning from 12 to 16, the sixth grade until the ninth grade in local school years. Researchers found that the factor(因素) that best predicts courage was related to goals. What they had achieved in their past learning played no role in developing the skill.

Professor Katariina Salmela-Aro, who led the study, said, “Courage means a young person is really interested in his or her studies and does not give up easily. A key factor of courage is high perseverance when facing difficulties or in a terrible situation. The important finding is that these factors are the key to success and well-being. Our study shows the power of courage.”

Professor Salmela-Aro also thinks it is important to develop new practices and build character to improve courage in teenagers. She added, “Young people should see everyday school work as part of their life in a wider context(背景) and set achievable goals for themselves. Schools must also serve as a place where it is safe to fail and learn to deal with setbacks. One must not be discouraged by setbacks, but draw power and new energy from them!”

1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.Where courage comes from. B.How students can draw power.

C.What courage is thought of as. D.Why having energy is important.

2.According to the passage, Professor Katarina Salmela-Aro believes that ________.

A.courage might be developed with the help of schools

B.teenagers with courage show strong interests in success

C.courage can help reduce the number of difficulties in learning

D.teenagers’ achievement in the past can influence their courage

3.The word “setbacks” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.

A.changes B.difficulties C.weakness D.efforts

When I talk to my friends back in the US, one of the things they often ask me is whether I miss the food back home. I do miss certain things, like my mom’s cooking, as well as a kind of food that I cannot find in Beijing—Americanized Chinese food.

Why would you want a foreign version of Chinese food when you can get the real thing? Well, American Chinese food is attractive in its own way.

Most American Chinese food can be traced back to (追溯到) Guangdong Province. In the early 20th century, thousands of Chinese came to the US from Guangdong to find work. They settled down in places like San Francisco, where they created the Chinatown communities that still exist (存在) today. And of course, they brought their cuisine (菜肴) with them.

But they changed their dishes greatly in order to appeal to (迎合) American tastes. American Chinese food is typically sweeter and heavier than traditional Chinese food. Traditional Chinese cuisine uses vegetables as a main ingredient. But in American Chinese food, vegetables are considered to be a side dish(配菜).

The American Chinese takeout meal may also come with fortune (幸运) cookies. These are thin, hollow cookies that have a small piece of paper inside. Your “fortune” is written on the paper, along with your “lucky numbers”. You’ll never get these cookies when eating takeout in China.

Of course, I enjoy authentic (正宗的) Chinese food very much. But there is something about American Chinese dishes, like General Tso’s chicken, Grab Wontons and chow mein, which I really miss. When I go home for holiday, my family is always surprised when I ask them to order American Chinese takeout. But to me, it is a special treat indeed.

1.What is the best title of the passage?

A.the Author’s Mother’s Cooking B.Traditional American Food

C.Americanized Chinese Food D.Traditional Chinese Food

2.What do we know from Paragraph 4?

A.Many Chinese moved to the US in the early 20th century.

B.Chinese living in the US changed their taste in food.

C.American Chinese food is different from traditional Chinese food.

D.Vegetables are the main ingredient in American Chinese food.

3.The author mentioned fortune cookies because ______.

A.he likes American Chinese takeout

B.people always get free cookies in the US

C.they are the most popular dessert in the US

D.they are typical American Chinese food

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A.American Chinese food is not popular in the US.

B.The author doesn’t like authentic Chinese food.

C.The author prefers American food to Chinese food.

D.Chow mein is also cooked differently in the US.

How many of you have unfriended(拉黑) someone on Facebook because they said something bad about politics, childcare or food? And how many of you ever hide from someone just because you don’t want to talk to them?

In order to have a polite conversation, we used to follow the advice — make our conversation go around the weather and your health. But these days, with climate change and vaccine (疫苗) problems, those subjects — are not safe, either. Every conversation may lead to a fight.

Pew Research did a study of 10,000 American adults, and they found at this moment, we are less likely(可能) to listen to each other. Depending on what we already believe, we make decisions about where to live, who to marry and even who our friends are going to be. A conversation needs a balance(平衡) between talking and listening, and somewhere along the way, we lost that balance.

Now, part of that is because of technology, such as the smartphones. They are either in your hands or close enough for you to get quickly. According to the Pew Research, about one third American teenagers send more than a hundred texts(信息) a day. And many of them, almost most of them, are more likely to text their friends than they are to talk to them face to face.

There’s a great piece in The Atlantic. It was written by a high school teacher named Paul Barnwell. He gave a communication project to teach students how to speak on a special topic. But he failed to make it and said: “I realize kids spend hours each day connecting with ideas and each other through screens, but they hardly discover their communication skills. It might sound like a funny question, but we have to ask ourselves. Are there any 21st-century skills more important than being able to make a real conversation?

1.It used to be safe to talk about________in a polite conversation.

A.health B.childcare C.food

2.What can we learn from the study of Pew Research?

A.People make their own decisions by listening to others.

B.We probably like talking with friends face to face better.

C.There isn’t a balance between talking and listening now.

3.About 30% American teenagers send ________ texts a day.

A.more than 1000 B.about 500 C.Over 100

4.The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.

A.some communication skills

B.a project by Paul Barnwell

C.a magazine called The Atlantic

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Why not have a conversation now?

B.How can we speak politely?

C.What can we do with smart phones?
