There is growing concern about food insecurity in the developing world. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political problems are deepening the struggle for families in many countries.
Three UN agencies have published a report recently, saying high prices are likely to continue. Gregory Barrow, who is with the World Food Program in Rome, says, “If you look at the places where the World Food Program works, particularly in developing countries, you see people who might be spending more than 60 percent of their salary in purchasing food for their families.”
East Africa is suffering its worst drought in years. In Kenya, at least three and a half million people are going hungry, mostly in the north. Yet food is going to waste in central Kenya. Now, farmers there want the government to buy their food and give it to those in need. Farmers say bad roads and lack of transportation make it difficult for them to get their produce to the market.
Mr. Barrow says, “It needs the government to make some arrangements such as pro
viding transport. They can buy it at a good price, then give it to those people instead of asking for food from overseas, which is very bad. When we are throwing away food, they are asking for food from overseas.”
Economists say that imports reduce local food prices, decrease productivity(生产效率) and increase the dependency on other countries. Farmers in Kenya hope the government can pay higher prices for their crops so that they can feed more Kenyans.
1.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Kenya Imports Food from Abroad
B. World Food Program in Rome.
C. The Poor Suffer from High Food Prices.
D. A Report Published by Three UN Agencies.
2.What do we know about Kenya from the passage?
A. The people in central Kenya are suffering from hunger.
B. At least three and a half million Kenyans lack food.
C. The Kenyan government wants to improve road conditions.
D. People in northern Kenya refuse to ask for food from overseas.
3.What does “they” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. The people of northern Kenya.
B. Government officials.
C. The farmers of central Kenya.
D. Kenyan economists.
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to this passage?
A. Gregory Barrow suggests that Kenya make good use of overseas food.
B. People in northern Kenya are suffering the drought less than the central.
C. Economists believe importing food from abroad may cause problems.
D. Kenyan government hopes to buy the native crops at higher prices.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
1.The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.
A. help cure him of his reading problem
B. let him spend a meaningful summer
C. encourage him to do more walking
D. make him learn more about weapons
2.The book caught the author’s eye because_____.
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals
B. he found its title easy to understand
C. it reminded him of his own dog
D. he liked children’s stories very much
3.Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A. He was forced by his mother to read it.
B. He identified with the story in the book.
C. The book told the story of his pet dog.
D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The author has had happy summers ever since.
B. The author’s mother read the same book.
C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.
D. The author has become a successful writer.

Some Ways to Deal With Hardship and Pain in Life
Regardless of the difficulties you may face, it’s getting back up and moving forward that counts the most when you need to deal with hardship.1.
Write or talk about how you feel
Keeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations. 2. Although talking to strangers about your issues may seem crazy, it actually isn’t.
3.
It is said that running away from your problems will never help, and though that’s partially true, it doesn’t mean that you need to make yourself go so deeply into a situation that you run out of air to breathe and lose the ability to weigh the pros and cons of your choices. That happens more than we like to admit, which is why it’s important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders.
Remind yourself that you’re not alone
Regardless of who or what you depend on, you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care. 4. Sometimes it’s strangers who may share the same feelings as you do. Think about it—you may not know any of these readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you, so in fact, no one is truly alone.
Accept the results and get back up again
5. Whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, it’s time for you to accept them and get back up. This time you have a new experience to add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down, it won’t be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward. Life will go on, time will never stand still, and it rests upon you to make the right decision of moving forward.
A. Separate yourself from the situation.
B. Tell yourself to accept the hardship.
C. Finally, it’s time to accept what has happened.
D. All in all, remember that life is short.
E. Not only did I speak to him about how I felt, but I decided to blog about it.
F. Here are some things I've tried just to help me believe in a brighter future and get over a tough situation.
G. Even if it’s just one person, that’s enough to give you reason to remind yourself that you will never truly be alone.

Our love of music and appreciation of musical harmony (和声) is learnt and not based on natural ability, a new study by University of Melbourne researchers has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical functions of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.
The study shows that musical harmony can be learnt, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, it’s simply because you haven’t learnt to listen by their rules.
The researchers used 66 volunteers with a range of (一系列的) musical training and tested their ability to hear combinations (组合) of notes (音符) to determine if they found the combinations familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with combinations of notes. If they couldn’t recognize the notes, they found the notes dissonant. This finding put an end to centuries of theories claiming (声称) that physical functions of the ear determine what we find attractive.
The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive (敏感的) to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldn’t find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培养) the brain to like particular sound of combinations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock.
Depending on their training, a strange chord (和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learnt.
To confirm (证实) this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random (随机的) selection of western chords. Not only did the participants’ ability to hear notes improve rapidly; the chords they had learnt sounded more pleasant—regardless of (不论) how the chords were played.
The question of why some combinations of musical notes are heard as pleasant or unpleasant has long been debated. “ We have shown in this study that for music, beauty is in the brain of the beholder(观看者),” a researcher said.
1.According to the passage, why do people sometimes find foreign music quite unpleasant?
A． Because they don’t like the person playing the music.
B． Because they have no talent for music at all.
C． Because they have no idea about how to listen.
D． Because they hear music too often.
2.The underlined word “dissonant” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___________.
A. informal B. unpleasant
C. inspiring D. unfamiliar
3.Although non-musicians were less sensitive to music, they can still _______.
A． find the beauty of chords without training
B． enjoy the beauty of music when played by musicians
C． be trained to like particular music
D． make friends with real musicians
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A． Improve Your Brain By Listening to Music
B． You Can Be a Musician Without Being Trained
C． Music Can’t be Taught
D． Love of Music Is Not Natural But Nurture
