阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of

tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.

  At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet drink to last an entire evening.

Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.

During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.

Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.

Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.

The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.

A. to show her politeness       B. to show her great interest in food

C. not to eat much             D. to hide her dislike to the food

We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.

A. she has to meet with so many important leaders

B. she has to eat much oily food

C. hosts always present wonderful state banquets

D. she has so many reporters to travel with her

What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinners?

A. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.

B. Drinking Malvern water.

C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.

D. Eating much without being noticed

The main idea of the passage is about ____.

A. the Queen’s favorite food             B. the Queen’s tours abroad

C. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader D. how the Queen keeps her diet during her tours

Maria is a very fast runner. She has won many races put on by the factory in Russia where she works. She was asked how she was able to stay in such good shape（体型）. This was her answer.

“I rush with a large bag in one hand and my four-year-old baby in the other. First， I stop at the school, hand my baby to the teachers, and then rush to work.
