Given that many people’s moods(情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道) chocolates.
The CRF’s produce is “green”, made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series — with Sichuan pepper, red bean(豆), cheese and other flavors — also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela, and Ghana, among others.
1.What is good about chocolate?
A. It works as an effective medicine
B. It helps improve the state of mind
C. It strengthens business relations
D. It serves as a suitable gift
2.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A. He learns from shops of similar types
B. He has the support of many big names
C. He has a lot of marketing experience
D. He knows the importance of research
3.Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A. The Exotic Series B. The Alcohol Series
C. The Sichuan Series D. The Connoisseur Series
4.The Words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who .
A. know little about cocoa beans
B. look down upon others
C. like to try new flavors
D. are particular about chocolate

Rent(出租)a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger ? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around £14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
1. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?
A. On Letpark. B. On Roomspare.
C. On Grashpadder. D. On Roommateeasy.
2.If you want to use energy for free, you have to_____.
A. sign an agreement with the government
B. pay around £14,000 for the equipment
C. sell the roof to some energy companies
D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years
3.For whom is the text most probably written?

阅读理解。
A few years ago, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”
That was all he said. “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point. I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.
The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.
While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life.All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will!
If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding.
If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think. It could be fun!
When traveling, i hope that my pilot has a more detailed plan than “we will see what happens” . But in life, it is not a bad strategy at all.
1.What was the pilot’s attitude toward the situation?
A.Disappointed and panicked
B.Surprised and honest
C.Comforting and encouraging
D.Hesitant and weak.
2.What was the passengers’ reaction when they arrived in Norfolk ?
A.They were thankful and relieved.
B.They cheered for the pilot’s correct operation.
C.They complained that the plane was not safe enough
D.They just walked off the plane as if nothing had happened.
3.What can we know from the passage?
A.The plane was delayed because of its wheels.
B.The plane arrived at the airport safely.
C.It was a terrible journey for the author.
D.Most of the passengers remained calm on hearing the bad news
4.What is the main idea of this article ?
A.“we will see what happens” is not a good plan for pilots
B.Try to have everything prepared before you do something
C.When you want to do something, you have to actually do it .
D.Never stop chasing your goals even if they are certain to fail
