Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup!
1.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?
A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops.
C. To get rid of the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us.
2.What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

A. He is an experienced cook. B. He is a troublesome father.

As is known, some students have breakfast regularly. Therefore, others don’t, or even skip it. Among of the students who have breakfast every day, only a few have a balanced diet which includes breads, milk and eggs. There is several reasons. First of all, many students don’t know an importance of breakfast. Besides, many parents have limited knowledge about that a balanced diet is. Finally, teachers give students too much tasks, so they have no time have breakfast. In a word, every student should had breakfast regularly. The more balanced diet one has, the healthy he will be!

David Cameron is urging today’s youngesters to abandon French to concentrate on the tongue of the future—Mandarin(普通话)。
Cameron said: “I want Britain linked up to the world’s fast-growing economies. And that includes our young people learning the languages to seal tomorrow’s business deals.”
“By the time the children born today leave school, China is to be the world’s largest economy. So it’s time to look beyond the traditional focus on French and German and get many more children learning Mandarin.” To strengthen his message , he quoted Nelson Mandela—the former president of South Africa who said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head; if you talk to him in his own language that goes to his heart.”
Cameron said that a partnership between the British Council (英国文化协会) and Hanban will double the number of Chinese language assistants in the UK by 2016 and provide increased funding to schools of offering Mandarin as a language choice. In a development of the UK—China School Partnership programme, funding will also be provided for 60 headteachers to make study visits to China in 2014.
In recent research the British Council found only 1% of the adult population speaks Mandarin to a level that allows them to conduct a basic conversation. Just 3,000 pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland entered for Chinese languages GCSEs in 2013, putting it far behind the traditional choices of French with 177,000, Spanish with 91,000 and German with 62,000 entrants(加入者), as well as Urdu, Polish and Arabic.
Professor Dame Helen Wallace, the British Academy’s foreign secretary, said, “ a lack of qualified teachers could be a barrier to improve its popularity.”
Laura Chan, one of the co—founders of a bilingual Mandarin—English primary school, said the prime minister’s announcement was good news for the status of Mandarin. She said, “It’s a great help. It will increase people’s awareness of Mandarin as a language they can learn.”
1.What is the text mainly talking about?
A. David Cameron calls for British students to learn Mandarin.
B. David Cameron has visited China for three days.
C. Chinese language is very popular with British people.
D. The cooperation is important between the UK and China.
2.Why does David Cameron urge students to learn Chinese?
A. Because Chinese will be a widely—used language in the world.
B. Because there are many Chinese people living in Britain.
C. Because he thinks China will become the largest economy.
D. Because only a few of British people can communicate in Chinese.
3.What is the writer’s attitude to the popularity of Mandarin?
A. It’s wonderful but it also has some problems.
B. It can be a great waste of time and energy.
C. It’s only a design for the youngsters later.
D. It’s only a way to help students to travel abroad.
4.What is the purpose of David Cameron by quoting Mandela’s words in Paragraph3?
A. To compare different ideas.
B. To show his rich knowledge.
C. To share Mandela’s opinion.
D. To persuade people to learn Mandarin.
