A tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating, which originated in the United States, often involves consuming alcoholic drinks and frilling food. Tailgate parties usually occur in the parking lots at stadiums, before and occasionally after games and concerts. People attending such a party are said to be tailgating. Many people participate even if their vehicles do not have tailgates.
The idea for eating out of the back of a car may have started in 1866 with Charles Goodnight, a Texas farmer. He noticed that the cowboys he employed needed a way to eat on the road, so he transformed a U. S. Army wagon(马车) into a mobile kitchen. There, hungry workers could eat, relax, and socialize after a long day of working.
Nowadays, people tailgate for lots of reasons, everything from college football games to Jimmy Buffet concerts. In schools and communities, some athletic departments, coaches and parents of student athletes rely on post-game tailgating parties to build community and support for their program and team.
What people consider essentials(必备)for tailgating spreads isn’t the same across the country. Different areas of the country have their own favorite foods for tailgating. While foods like burgers and chips may be common everywhere, some areas have specialties. For instance, those in Louisiana may consider jambalaya a tailgating must, while those in the Midwest simply can’t go without brats. And the West Coast? Don’t be surprised to see grilled fish or pasta. While dishes may differ from area to area, one thing is the same across the country: beer.
1.Why did Charles Goodnight invent a mobile kitchen?
A. To show off his cooking skills
B. To build a canteen
C. To celebrate the army’s victory
D. To attract more cowboys
2.What can we learn about tailgate parties?
A. They are usually held before concerts
B. They are mainly held for cowboys
C. They are also occasions to make friends
D. They are meant for football teams
3.What do people think a must for all tailgate parties?
A. Beer B. Sports
C. Music D. Vehicles with tailgates
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The spread of tailgating
B. The popularity of jambalaya
C. Favorite foods on tailgate parties
D. Necessary equipment for tailgating

Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather, the Government’s chief scientific adviser has warned as he called for action to deal with global warming. Professor Sir John Beddington says the effects of climate change on the weather are already being felt in the UK.
“In a sense we have moved from the idea of global warming to the idea of climate change, and that is rather important. Temperatures are increasing and there are more changes in our weather,” he said.
Even if effective action is taken now on global warming, he says there will be great climate change over the next 20 to 25 years as a result of past global problems.
“We have serious problems in the world --- in 12 years there will be another billion people on the planet and we have big issues of food security, water security and energy security, and many people will start to be living in cities,” he said. “These are serious problem; climate change is just going to make it worse.”
He said there were some “uncertainties” in the analysis of climate and climate change. “But those uncertainties are completely unimportant in comparison（比较）with a great deal of evidence that shows it is happening in the sort of ways climate models would expect,” he said. “For example, the Arctic is heating up faster than other parts of the world --- this is exactly what the climate scientists are predicting.”
Sir John’s views were made as Britain experienced freezing cold weather and snow, with thousands of homes across the UK without power. England and Wales experienced 10 separate flooding events between April and December last year after widespread drought gave way to the wettest summer in a century, with unusually high rainfall totals and river levels around the country.
1.Which of the following is NOT one of the things that Sir John says?
A. We need more action to deal with global warming.
B. Climate change will make some big problems worse.
C. Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather.
D. England will experience more extremes in weather than Wales.
2.How long will it be before our planet has another billion people?
A. 25 years. B. 20 years
C. 12 years. D. 10 years.
3.What is Sir John’s attitude towards the Climate scientists’ prediction?
A. Puzzled. B. Trusting.
C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
4.In recent years, which of the following has the UK NOT experienced?
A. Widespread drought.
B. Many flooding events.
C. Freezing cold weather.
D. Several big earthquakes.
5.What is the main purpose of this report?
A. To call for effective action on climate change.
B. To introduce Professor Sir John and his opinions.
C. To prove that the UK has experienced a series of disasters.
D. To show how correct the climate scientists’ predictions are.
