【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
You may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine appears naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.
The US government is especially worried about the problem. That's why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. What's more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.
One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.
The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caffeine's effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute.
Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that.
Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.
(1)What is the US government particularly concerned about?
A.The fact that coffee contains caffeine.
B.The practice of adding caffeine to foods.
C.The measures of avoiding caffeine's effects.
D.The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.
(2)Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _____.
A.caffeine's effects on health
B.teenagers' addiction to caffeine
C.drinks which contain much caffeine
D.people's concern about teenagers' health
(3)Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.
A.the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeine's effects
B.the process of the government's controlling the use of caffeine
C.the government's responsibility of taking care of teenagers
D.the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays
(4)The author may agree that _______.
A.headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagers
B.food makers don't add much caffeine to many products now
C.caffeine is good and useful for teenagers' study
D.getting enough sleep can make people energetic

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I'm not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I'm not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can't understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I'm not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
(1)When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A.upset
B.strange
C.normal
D.different
(2)When the author returns to America, _____.
A.she makes more friends
B.she becomes more polite
C.she can't find what she needs
D.she is like a fish out of water
(3)The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A.reasons
B.problems
C.advantages
D.suggestions
(4)In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A.her different lifestyles
B.a kind of culture shock
C.a feeling of loneliness
D.her ability to face difficulties

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

Dear Diary,
Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained, “He is lucky to find other one.” His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school and just everything else I love in the world. To make things bad, now I have to share a room to my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am very tiring, but I know I'll never fall asleep.
Good night or remember, you, dear diary, is my only souvenir of my past life and my only friend.
Yours
Rosemary
