    "Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "what was your favourite fast food when you were growing up?"

    "We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．" "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called 'at home'．" I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．"

    Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card．

    My parents have never driven me to soccer practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed．We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie"．When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered（粘贴）itself against my chin and burned that, too．It's still the best pizza I ever had．

    I delivered newspapers, six days a week ．The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents．I had to get up at 4:00 a．m．every morning．On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change．

    If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren．

    Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

    56．By saying "All the food was slow", the writer implies that ____．

           A．when he was growing up, he never ate fast food

           B．he didn't like fast food when he was growing up

           C．his grandma made food slowly

           D．he had to wait for a long time for the fast food

    57．When the writer didn't like the food his grandma cooked when he was growing up, _______．

           A．his grandma would make something he liked

           B．his grandma would buy him fast food

           C．he would sit there waiting for his favourite pizza pie

           D．he had to eat it or go without

    58．The writer's purpose of writing this passage is to _____.

           A．tell his children there was no fast food in the past

           B．tell us that life has been changing

           C．tell us how hard it is to deliver newspapers

           D．made us understand the meaning of life

    "Hey, don't read in the hallway. Your eyesight will be damaged." You must have heard such warnings many times. Don’t read in dim (暗的)light! This is one of the “pearls of wisdom” that are supposed to help us live a healthy life. Such common beliefs, however, lack scientific basis, according to a paper published recently in the British Medical Journal.

    Do you believe in the following everyday wisdom?

    Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.

    In dim light, you might blink (眨眼) more, feel discomfort from drying and have trouble focusing. But the majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage.

    We must drink at least eight glasses of water a day

    In 1945, the Nutrition Council in US suggested that people need to consume 2.5 litres of water a day. But the water contained in food, particularly fruit and vegetables, as well as in milk, juice and soft drinks, also counts towards the total.

    We only use 10 percent of our brains.

    This myth arose as early as 1907. People have long argued about our power of self-improvement and our brains’ potential abilities. But detailed imaging shows that no area of the brain is silent or inactive.

    Shaving your legs causes hair to grow black faster and thicker.

    This theory is also illusion. Shaving has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair growth,

    studies say. Just over time, the edge of hair gets worn away and thus the edge of long hair becomes finer (更细). So hair that is newly grown gives the impression of darkness.

    1.What does the paper say about some common beliefs?

    A. They are pearls of wisdom          B. They help us live in healthy ways

    C. They are well-known theories.                D. They do not have scientific basis.

    2.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?

    A. Reading in dim light does harm to one’s eyes.

    B. People need a total of 2.5 litres of water a day

    C. People use 90 percent of their brains.

    D. Shaving your legs will give you thicker hair.

    3.This passage is most likely to be found in __________ ?

    A. a newspaper                           B. a science fiction

    C. a biology textbook                 D. a medical book

    A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And four feet ducks could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks' legs at once and said, "Whose is that bag?" Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, "I'll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn't be taken out of the country." "Well, then," said the small man with a fat stomach. "Hurry up and take it. We want to go home." The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.

    At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, "I hope they'll enjoy the ducks' feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it." Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. "I have the rest of the two ducks here," he said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, "Hey, man! Foreign food mustn't be brought in."

    1. The small man put the bag in the middle of the floor ___ .

    A. so that he could make more room for himself

    B. so that the policeman could find it easily

    C. because the other passengers didn't like it

    2. The first policeman took the paper bag away because ___ .

    B. he enjoyed the ducks feet in the bag

    C. the bag was put in a wrong place in the carriage

    D. food can't be taken abroad

    3. The bag the policeman took away had nothing in it except ___ .

    A. two ducks               B. rubbish

    If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonnet and say, "Hey, Butterfly Man," his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.

    Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if you'd told him this was what he'd be doing someday, he would have laughed, "You're crazy." As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the streets". At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.

    "I knew it had hurt my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again."

    One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called E1 Segundo blue.

    "I saw the sign 'Butterfly Habitat' and asked, 'How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?'" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜) , "Look at the leaves. ' I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, 'Without the plant, there are no butterflies. '"

    Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he's been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.

    The butterfly's population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonnet, he earned something more: he turned his life around.

    For six years now Bonnet has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

    1.When he was young, Arthur Bonner

    A．broke the law and ended up in prison

    B．was fond of shooting and hurt his morn

    C．often offered necessary help to other people

    D．often caught butterflies and took them home

    2.Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he ______.

    A．found the butterfly had died out

    B．won many prizes from his professor

    C．met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biology

    D．collected butterflies and put them into a lab

    3. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has ______

    A．made Bonner famous

    B．changed Bonner's life

    C．brought Bonner wealth

    D．enriched Bonner's knowledge

    4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

    A．A Promise to Morn

    B．A Man Saved by Butterflies

    C．A Story of Butterflies

    D．A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni
