Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.

Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release（释放）poisons that make people sick.

Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.

Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.

When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.

Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

Recently in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-trw door salesman.

  I once read a saying. “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider this an exaggeration (夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.

   You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right, you needn’t worry about being refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike ....

  I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up; Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.

  Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Some times 1 felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.

  Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, park-time work can have some strong negative influences on study.

  Most students don’t view the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial reasons, students should be careful about taking up a part-time job.

1． From the text, we can tell that the writer is _____.    

  A. an unemployed man                  B. a middle-school student

  C. a college student                    D. a door-to-door salesman

2．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”? 

  A. Losing            B. Wasting        C. Using              D. Getting

3．The writer thought_____. 

 A. doing a part-time job was unnecessary

 B. part-time jobs had good effect upon study

 C. it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work

 D .part-time jobs would be good for every college student

4．What would be the best title for the text _____.

 A. Part-time Jobs Are Useful             B. Part-time Jobs Can Cost Dear

 C. Students Shouldn’t Take Part-time Jobs  D. Part-time Jobs Are Important to Many Students

Do you sometimes put off doing your homework on a school night to watch TV？A new study says that middle school students who watch TV or play video games during the week do worse in school．The study also says that watching TV and playing video games on weekends don’t affect school performance that much．

“They could watch a lot on weekends and it didn’t seem to connect with doing worse in school，”said Dr．Iman Sharif of Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York．The study appears in the October issue of Pediatrics．Researchers drew their conclusions after surveying  （调查）4，500 students in New Hampshire and Vermont middle schools．

To reach their findings，researchers didn’t look at grades or test scores．Instead，they asked students to rate their own performance on a scale ranging from “excellent’’ to “below”．

Other studies have found a connection between kids’ ability to learn and the amount of TV they watch．One study even found that kids with televisions in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than kids without them．

What should fl kid do？The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends（推荐）that kids watch TV no more than two hours and that televisions be kept out of children’s rooms．Weekend viewing should be kept to four hours at most each day．

I worked as a waitress for a few months. I was not a great waitress and I worked in a restaurant that served mostly older people who, however, have not learned that ten percent of their expense is no longer a tip that waitresses can live on – let alone a college student working hard for 20 hours a week!

   One night, when I was still working two hours after shift(轮班) was supposed to finish, all that I wanted was for my last table to clear out so I could clean and go home. My last customer caught me on her way out and asked if I had change for a twenty. I dug through my pocket and turned out my night’s earnings—a small amount of $14.

   She smiled at me and said, “That is enough.”

   My eyes were full of tears as I made the uneven(不等价的) exchange. “Thank you, ”I said in a low voice.

   I heard her little boy ask why she did that and she explained that I’d had a hard night and she just wanted to help me out. I even heard her words, “Reach out your hands when somebody needs help.” I noticed the little boy nodded his head. Not only did her kindness touch my hurried and tiring life, but she also taught her son an important lesson that night.

   I do not know her name, but I will always remember her.
