Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly (果冻) sandwiches. Even my husband and I sometimes ate one secretly at late night with a glass of milk. It was too delicious and tasty. My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family. The jelly was made of either grape or blackberry. The only job I did to the jelly making was to save baby food jars (罐子), which my mother-in-law would fill with the tasty gel (凝胶体), pack them up and send back to our home. For the past 22 years of my married life, whenever I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for ourselves, all I had to do was reach for one of those little jars of jelly. It was always there.

This past December, my mother-in-law passed away. Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the remaining canned goods in the pantry (食品储藏室). When my husband brought his jars home, we carefully put them away in our pantry.

The other day I reached in there to get jelly for a quick sandwich, and there it was. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly. As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had failed to see earlier-this was the last jar we would ever have from my mother-in-law. Although she had been dead for nearly a year, so much of her had remained with us. Our children had never known a day without their grandmother’s jelly. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was ignored. But today it seemed a great treasure.

No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family tradition. I believed that as long as it was there, a part of my mother-in-law would always live on.

1.Why did the couple eat the jelly secretly at late night?

A. Because it was very delicious and nice.

B. Because it was only made for children.

C. Because it was made by mother-in-law.

D. Because it was good to health.

2.What can we know about the author in making jelly?

A. She could make baby food by herself.

B. She could only collect baby food jars.

C. She helped her mother fill the jars with the tasty gel.

D. She sent the jelly jars home with her husband.

3.What did the mother-in-law leave to the author?

A. The skills to make jelly.

B. Some baby food in the house.

C. Some canned jars filled with jelly.

D. A lot of money.

4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. a quick sandwich B. the shelf

C. grape D. jelly

5.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To miss her mother-in-law.

B. To introduce the skills of making jelly.

C. To remember the family tradition.

D. To warn people to be nice to the old.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Our need to communicate with each other has been a driving force in the development of technology. In the 20th century we have seen the invention of the radio, television, telephone and fax, and today the Internet has opened up a whole new way of communicating. We now have instant messaging services such as ICQ or China's QQ and chat rooms where people can join group discussions. They mean increasing choices for when, where and how to communicate, and more importantly, with whom.

While most people use the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family, a growing number of people use QQ and chat rooms to meet and chat with strangers. Because the Internet allows a certain amount of anonymity, users can be more open making it easier to make new friends. One user said that everyone is equal online, and age and appearance become unimportant. This makes it easier for people to communicate with each other.

Finding new friends is not the only reason people use chat rooms. The Internet can bring together like-minded people who want to discuss their favourite topics. There are chat rooms for certain sports, types of music, styles of art, in fact, just about any interest you can imagine, and many that you can't! Whatever unusual interest you might have, if you search on the Internet, there is a good chance that you will find someone, somewhere in cyberspace, willing to talk to you about it-right now.

However, there are problems with going online. It is possible for cyber-criminals to steal information such as credit card details while you are online, and there is always the chance that a new friend is not who he or she claims to be. One girl was really disappointed when she discovered that her new cyberfriend who wrote poems for her, was actually copying all the poems from magazines. But for all the problems that might come up, instant messaging services and chat rooms are here to stay, putting in touch with friends, family and strangers of similar interests.

1.People use the Internet to .

A. chat to friends and meet family

B. meet strangers and write poems

C. chat to friends, family and strangers

2.What does anonymity (para. 2) mean?

A. The state of being unknown.

B. The state of being friendly.

C. The state of being online.

3.What types of topics will people discuss on the Internet?

A. Sports, types of music, styles of art.

B. All kinds of topics.

C. Only topics that the Internet allows.

4.What is an example of problems with going online?

A. Some people may send you poems copied from magazines.

B. Your credit card details could be stolen.

C. There might be no one to chat with.
