【题目】With the advent (到来,出现)of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that markedly increases the death rate from certain diseases.

The main killers in North Americathe degenerative diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become ways of death in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health-destroying food chains.

Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foodssuch as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines one's health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries, blocking the blood supply to various organs.

This causes diseases in almost every organbut in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and the brain.

Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures tastyfresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.

Certainly the fast food chains make lots of moneybut who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people?

Another reason why Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily.

How the Chinese could patronize (经常光顾)these fast food places when Chinese cook such delicious food, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension.

Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants do have "good service and an inviting dining atmosphere". However, Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do.

These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words, only imitate the style of the restaurants' form.

Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.

【题目】Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.

Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm.

John Keats' next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the "knowledge" associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

【1】John Keats' attitude towards life changed because of________.

A. his early education from school

B. the criticism of a magazine

C. Edmund Spenser's poetry

D. the deaths of his parents

【2】What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?

A. They read many books.

B. They died of the same disease.

C. They had a bad childhood.

D. They showed strong interest in poetry.

【3】What do we know from the passage?

A. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.

B. Keats received little education at school.

C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.

D. Endymion was about a real love story.

【4】While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was________.

A. knowledgeable B. experienced

C. determined D. impatient

【5】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The poem Hyperion wasn't completed by Keats.

B. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats' time.

C. It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.

D. Keats' family must have been very poor when he was young.
