When I was in junior high,the eighth-grade bully(恶徒)hit me in the stomach. Not only did it hurt and make me angry，but the 1    and shame were almost unbearable. I wanted 2    to even the score！I planned to meet him on the playground the next day and let him 3    it.

For some reason, I told my plan to Nana,my 4    . Surprisingly,she gave me one of her hour-long lectures. Among the many things she told,I unclearly remembered her telling me that I didn't need to 5   about him. She said, "Good deeds 6   good results, and evil deeds lead to bad results." I told her,in a nice way,of course, that I thought she was flill of it. I told her that I did good things all the time，but all I got 7   was "rubbish"！

It took me 30 years to understand the 8   of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday，I 9   and took her out to dinner by car. I would always find her neatly 10    sitting in a wheel-chair right by the front door. I clearly remember our very last dinner together before she left there. We 11    to a nearby simple little family-owned res­taurant. I 12    pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food 13    and as I dug in,I noticed that Nana wasn，t eating，but staring at the food on her plate. 14    my plate aside，I took Nana's plate to my side and cut her meat into small pieces. I then 15    the plate back in front of her. As she 16    the meat into her mouth very weakly，and with great difficulty，I was struck with a memory that brought 17    tears to my eyes. Forty years 18    ，when I was a little boy，Nana had always cut the meat into small pieces so I could eat it.

It had taken 40 years，but the good deed had been 19   . Nana was right. "Every good deed
you do will someday come back to you." We 20     exactly what we sow.

WASHINGTON -Tofu（豆腐）and Soyaburgers (豆饼) may be coming to American school lunch menus. What will the kids say? “Terrible,” said Greg Dudzinski, 17, of Ripon High School in Wisconsin, as he toured the US capital.
“The regular hamburgers are bad enough, so soyaburgers would be a lot worse, offered Zach Richey, 13, of Scottsboro Junior High in Alabama, another tourist. But the United States government – hoping to reduce the amount of fat that children are eating –has approved the use of soy as a meat substitute in meals for schools and day-care centers.Not all kids dislike the change. Mariel Spano, 17, of sandy Greek High School in New York, also visiting the capital, said she likes soyaburgers：“There is less fat, and they are better for you… They taste the same, and they are just as good.”
The government tried to make soy a meat substitute nearly 20 years ago, but later dropped the idea.At the time, the plan was intended as a cost-cutting move. US Agriculture Department officials say that their purpose now is only to make meals healthier.Schools are likely to increase the amount of soy that is mixed with hamburgers and other foods already on their menus, and they will also be looking for food companies to develop new soy products that children will like. “I can’t see putting tofu on a student’s plate and having a good acceptance. I can see taking a product that is familiar to the students and adding a large amount of soy to it and having it to be acceptable,” said Jill Benza, director of food services for the Mesa, Arizona schools.

I have two pets. They are Fly, a dog, and Huahua, a cat.
Fly is brown and grey. He is naughty(淘气的). He sometimes steals(偷) food in the kitchen.  Once, when there was nobody at home, Fly pulled (拉) a piece of meat off the table. But he was not careful enough. The plate also fell to the floor. When I got home, I saw the broken plate all over the floor, so I became very angry. Fly was so afraid that he went back to his bed at once.
Huahua is a white and yellow cat. She is not beautiful but she is very lovely. Every night at weekends, Huahua sleeps on my bed. When she sleeps, she always snores. It is very funny.
Huahua is also naughty. Whenever she does something bad and my grandma tries to catch her, she runs away quickly and hides quietly under the bed.
Fly and Huahua love to play games with me and I like them very much.

Think about what you had for lunch: Was it a hamburger? A chicken sandwich? Barbecue? What about vegetables? Would it surprise you to learn that what you eat can affect the whole planet?

It can—in a big way. New studies show how food and its production affect the globe and its warming climate. You’ve probably heard of global warming : The temperature is on the rise because humankind has been releasing (排放) amounts of gases into the atmosphere. One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）.

What does this have to do with food ? A big part of the carbon dioxide that we put in the atmosphere every year comes from the process of making and eating food. The production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon diode. And much of meat’s contribution comes from beef , which is responsible for releasing even more warming gases into the atmosphere.

The process of making a hamburger ,for example, requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow waste is a major source of methane (沼气) — an especially powerful greenhouse gas. The cow has to be killed. The meat has to be processed (加工) and shipped to a shop, which takes fuel . Most of the cow won’t even be used for meat that people eat. By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate, it has made a heavy effect on the environment.

We can reduce the production of global-warming gases by eating less beef .Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environment—at least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. 

All kinds of meat are harder on the planet than vegetables. To grow and eat a pound of potatoes, for example, sends less than one-quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air. So changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables, as it turns out, may do the world some good.

The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to _____.

A. show the author’s concern about food safety

B. express the author’s puzzlement at what to eat

C. remind readers of something delicious to eat

D. introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage

What is the bad news for meat-eaters?

A. Meat producing can cause global warming

B. Most cows are raised not for people to eat

C. There is a lot of carbon dioxide in meat

D. Animals begin to die off because of global warming

Which is the most environment-friendly food according to the passage?

  A. Beef                     B. Carrot               C. Pork                 D. Chicken

The author wrote the passage in order to _____.

  A. explain the importance of eating meat         B. advise people to keep a balanced diet

C. encourage people to choose a greener diet       D. introduce some healthy foods to people
