Wang Ling, a middle school girl, felt angry with her parents after getting a boy’s phone call. “A classmate called me to discuss homework. We talked   41   just a few minutes before my parents got mad,” said the girl. “They asked whether I liked the boy. I said I didn’t,  42   they wouldn’t believe me.”

Wang’s trouble is not strange at all because puppy love (早恋) becomes a big headache for  43  parents and schools. They worry that puppy love will be bad for  44   . Her school makes it a rule not to allow any talk or any physical contact (身体接触)  45    one boy and one girl alone.

Many students say they understand  46   parents and teachers are so nervous about puppy love. But some think they are going too far. “We have our own thoughts and we know what to  47   with it,” said Wang Ling.

  Another girl, Jiang Ting, liked making friends with boys. “Boys and girls can learn from each other,” she said. “My mother asks me to study hard. However, she  48  stops me from making friends with boys.” Once Jiang told her mother she might fall in love with a boy. Her mother let Jiang make  49  own decision. Soon Jiang found that she didn’t like him any more because the boy was not as   50  as what she had thought before. And she did worse and worse in her subjects because she spent much on it. At last she understood the worry from schools and most parents about puppy love.

On my first holiday in America, I went to a large supermarket to buy breakfast. And although this was an English-speaking country that I knew well through films and TV, I was amazed. Everything came in unfamiliar (不熟悉的) packaging (包装)，with things I'd never heard of, Even things as simple as corn chips were strange, in different colours including black and purple.

    Tilse, who works for Nutrition Australia, first realized there was a problem six years ago. After teachers at her children's school quietly shared their opinions about the diets, she knew something about it. "They cared for what many children were  bringing to school for lunch," she said. "Mostly packaged foods, such as chips are not healthy."

    Tilse said, “They've managed to escape war areas and get to Australia, only to face the very real risk of running into heart disease. All because they're making wrong choices about food."

    "Before I came to Australia, I'd never seen a sandwich," said Joseline Ntunzusenimanima, a 33-year-old mother of seven from Burundi in East Africa. "There were so many fruits I had either never seen or not been able to buy for many years. I was in shock for the first four days after I arrived. I didn't know what to do or where to go because I was just amazed to see plenty of food, peace and safety."

C. Amazed.                                 D. Comfortable.

2.Tilse thinks that most packaged foods in Australia are _________.

A. Six.                                      B. Seven.

C. Eight.                                D. Nine.

　　Do you know which is the strongest animal in the world? It is so strong that it can lift 50 times its own weight(重量).

　　Perhaps you may say that it's a lion, or the elephant. But can any of them lift a thing as heavy as I mentioned? No!

　　Then what animal can lift 50 times its own weight? It's the ANT.

　　Can that be true? An ant may be as small as 1/16 of an inch or as long as two inches, but it can carry up to 50 times its own weight. Then you may think that it must have a very strong backbone(脊骨). You are wrong again. The surprising thing is that an ant doesn't have any bones. Then how can it be a good weight-lifter? It has very strong teeth, with them it carries leaves, seeds, wood and even parts of larger animals, including crocodiles, lions and so on.

　　You may be surprised to know that if a 175-pound man had the same strength (力气) as an ant, he would be able to lift 4, 000 kilograms with his teeth!
