【题目】 For thousands of years, salting was a common way to preserve food. Corned beef (咸牛肉）, bacon, green beans, and hundreds of other foods were preserved with salt.【1】 Then, in the 1800s, a Frenchman named Louis Pasteur discovered the secret: bacteria.
What does salt have to do with bacteria? Two things: First, bacteria need moisture (水分）to grow and multiply. Salt pulls moisture out of food, so the bacteria die. 【2】 If you cover food with salt or very salty liquid, bacteria outside the food die before they get in, and bacteria already in the food are poisoned by the salt that goes inside.
【3】 For meat or fish,you pour on a layer of salt, then rub it in well, leaving a salt crust (盾）all over the outside. Hams are often made this way. Another way is to put food into very salty water, called brine (卤水）.【4】 The salt will draw the moisture out of the food, creating a kind of brine that the food sits in.
Today, in most parts of the world, salting, is no longer necessary. 【5】 But even though we no longer rely on salt to keep our food fresh, we haven’t lost our taste for salt. We don’t want to give up our bacon, corned beef or salted beans.
A.So how do you preserve food with salt?
B.Next, it can make food too salty to eat.
C.Second, salt is poisonous to many bacteria.
D.But for a long time, no one knew why salt worked.
E.You can alternate layers of food and salt in a big jar.
F.People buy food in cans, keep it in the refrigerator, or freeze it.
G.They use salt to preserve meat, fish, vegetables, and even fruit.

【题目】 Every year, more books on happiness are published. And every year, more people feel depressed because they do not see themselves as happy. They don’t remember or know what it feels like, and instead, they feel guilty that they aren’t as happy as everyone says they should be. This is really a sad state of emotional affairs.
The books, blogs, YouTube videos and advice columns (专栏) will tell you that if you read, exercise, stay busy, help others, and increase your intimacy (亲密) every day, then you too can be happy.
The simple truth is that no one can be happy all the time. That doesn’t mean you have to be sad, angry, or depressed the rest of the time but that you can find a middle ground called contentment. This middle ground is a good place mentally and emotionally, and spending time there is a healthy choice.
Contentment is somewhere between satisfied and peaceful. When you are in that place, the stuff of life can be going on around you, but you don’t need to allow it to bother you. And that, my friends, is a very nice way to go through life.
I find contentment in walks and in writing, and in talking with my partner and reminding each other that our life is good, despite temporary setbacks or scary moments. Because I know about myself and I can respond differently. Doing this takes away stress and will keep you from losing your state of contentment.
If there is even one thing that puts you in a state of contentment — you do it regularly and early enough each day — it will help you go through any challenges you may have to face later.
Right at this moment, things around me are still a little out of my control — such is life — but I am feeling pretty good because I actively living my purpose. I am now content, and that feeling will last the whole day through. You can do the same.
【1】What does the author want to stress by mentioning “Books on happiness in paragraph 1?
A.People find it difficult to agree on what happiness is.
B.Such books are so popular that they are sold out very soon.
C.Happiness is something easy to gain in our daily life.
D.Experts find it useless to argue about the value of happiness.
【2】When facing setbacks or sad moments, what does the author do?
A.He turns to such media as blogs.
B.He definitely communicates with partners.
C.He adjusts himself and reacts positively.
D.He sees himself unlucky and feels depressed.
【3】What is the author most likely to agree with?
A.Still water runs deep.B.Health is better than wealth.
C.Enough is as good as a feast.D.One good turn deserves another.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce a novel experience.
B.To advocate a proper life attitude.
C.To encourage studies on happiness.
D.To persuade us to work endlessly.

【题目】 I entered a cabinetmaking(家具制造)program. I didn’t think I would be good at making furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.
I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked as if a hurricane had gone through it.
I didn’t fully know what I was committed to in the beginning, but I kept attending class. I tried to be wrapped up in math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over my fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.
I spent that year truly learning. True learning is the most challenging experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix those problems. And yet, I kept trying. I failed again and again, until I learned to fail better.
In the end, I finished the program—with honors, no less! My grades were helped by my good written work. I also learned how to use tools. Having to constantly push myself to step outside my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person.
Maybe most importantly, the school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!
【1】What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A.She had a gift for making furniture.B.She lacked practical skills.
C.She disliked making everything in a mess.D.She went to the program to surprise her family.
【2】What was the biggest challenge the author encountered?
A.Physical condition.B.Psychological preparation.
C.To know how to correct mistakes.D.Not being good at math.
【3】What do you think of the author?
A.Hard-working and determined.B.Confident and efficient.
C.Cooperative and creative.D.Modest and talented.
【4】What did the author benefit most from the project?
A.She won an award for good writing.B.She became stronger both mentally and physically.
C.She became skillful at making furniture.D.She had a better understanding of herself.

Hearing the news the 2022 Winter Olympic Game would be held in China, I felt very excited. It struck to me how I learned skating when I was a child. At 7, I began to go crazier about skating, like all my friends. At the beginning, it was extremely tough of me to keep my balance. I always fall over on the ground, as a result of which, I thought I had no talent for skating. So I gradually lost confidence and became impatient. The more impatient I was, the more terrible I did. I was about to give up but my father came to his assistance. I restored confidence and stood up again, being encouraged by him. As I practiced skating, he always created a relaxed atmosphere and put forward some specific advice. Eventually, I made it.

【题目】 It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person’s well-being. Because children are continuously developing physically and emotionally, they are especially affected by the benefits of activity. Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative reports that nearly one-third of US children are overweight or obese, and that “schools are a key setting for kids to get their 60 minutes of play with moderate activity, given the significant portion of time they spend there.”
Physical education programs in schools directly benefit students’ physical health. Regular exercise promotes muscles and bone development. In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults.
Though the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide policy in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.
Activities in P.E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels of leadership and community engagement among young people.
The benefits of P.E. to a child’s mental health are both complex and comprehensive. Improved physical health, academics and social interactions all contribute to good mental health. Physical activity sets the stage for a good night’s sleep, provides more energy to participate in hobbies and interact with others.
【1】The first paragraph implies that .
A.children are becoming much lazier nowadays
B.some schools have forbidden physical activity
C.most parents are dissatisfied with school education
D.schools must pay more attention to physical education
【2】Physical education is ignored in a way because .
A.children dislike taking physical activityB.schools are worried about children’s safety
C.students should have more time for studyD.less sporting equipment is available to school children
【3】What is the author’s possible attitude towards the policy in North Carolina?
A.Skeptical.B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous.D.Objective.
【4】Which is NOT a benefit of P. E. classes?
A.They assure you of a successful future.B.They keep your mind in a good state.
C.They help you focus on your studies.D.They do good to your social skills.
