6、Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper —and had a meal I have never had before.

All the friends invited were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never   1   more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something   2   for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a   3 _ table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the best for my friends! ” said Ben. We all sat down and looked   4   at each other —what was he up to?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a mixture of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,” said Ben. The next   5   was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just another mixture of vegetable.

As we ate we chatted and finally the   6   turned back to what we were eating. ”Was there a recipe （食谱） for this,” asked Marina, “or did you   7   it up?” Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.” “But there’s  8   choice in what you can find outside supermarkets,” he replied.

Seeing that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually throw away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of __9  , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.

So Ben had successfully provided a decent （体面的） meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to   10   millions of people.

4、Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?

John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas （1595-1617）. And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.

Smith was captured by members of Pocahontas’s tribe（部落）and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith （who was probably the first white man she had ever seen） and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in.

During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.

A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape.

Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe.

She spent the last year of her life in London.

Pocahontas has become an American legend（传奇）. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.

One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.

4．According to the text, Europeans think Pocahontas _____.

A．was brave to break away from her own tribe

B．set a good example for other natives to accept the white settlers

C．was a selfless Christian who can love her enemy

D．was open to a more advanced culture

5．What can we infer from the passage?

A．he battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.

D．People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other.

3、Chinese students aren’t the only ones who have a sleep loss problem. In Australia, teenagers are also missing out on, on average, one hour’s sleep every night during the school week.   Organized activities and homework push bedtimes later, the first large-scale Australian study of children’s sleeping habits has revealed （显示）. Their sleep deprivation （剥夺）is enough to cause “serious drop-offs in school performance, attention and memory”, and governments should consider later or flexible school start times, said the study’s leader, Tim Olds.

His survey, of more than 4,000 children aged 9 to 18, found those who slept least did not watch more television but spent their time socializing （相处）with family or friends or listening to music. “Almost all children get up at 7 or 7:15 — they have to get to school on time,” said Olds. He favors a later start over an earlier finish because he believes organized sports and activities would still consume the latter end of the day.

Olds’ research also establishes lack of sleep as a cause of weight gain in children, and a possible source of future problems with depression, anxiety and increased susceptibility （易感性） to illness.

 It was already known that overweight children sleep less, but Professor Olds found sleep duration （时长） was strongly linked to weight across the full range of body sizes. The thinnest children sleep 20 minutes more than the obese. This showed being overweight had no specific effect on sleep patterns, and it was more likely that shorter sleep times stimulate （刺激） appetite and make kids hungry.

The US National Sleep Foundation says teenagers aged 13 to 18 need eight to nine hours’ sleep a night. Younger school-aged kids need 9 to 11 hours.

On that basis, Professor Olds said, half of Australian children are under-sleeping on weekdays and a quarter on weekends.

1．The Australian students surveyed don’t sleep enough because they spend more time on the following EXCEPT _____.

  A．organized activities and homework

B．communication with friends and family

C．watching television programs

D．enjoying music 

2．What effects does lack of sleep directly have on the students according to the survey?

A．They become overweight but begin to eat less than before.

B．They feel more depressed and anxious about their school work.

C．They are more likely to be affected with illness in the future.

D．They pay less attention in class and their memory declines.

3．Which of the following suggestions did Mr. Olds raise?

A．The students should go to bed earlier to have longer sleeping time.

B．The students should participate less in organized activities.

C．The school should put off the start time in the morning.

  D．The school should finish earlier in the afternoon.

4．What does "obese" in the sixth paragraph mean?

A．average           B．fat           C． sleepless           D. overeating

5．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Australian students usually take part in activities in the afternoon.

B．More students are short of sleep on weekends than on weekdays.

C．Being overweight has an effect on the length of the sleeping time.

D．The survey suggests that teenagers need 8-9 hours’ sleep a night.

2、By day he is just a normal cat but when the lights go out, he glows（发光）in the dark.

Scientists have genetically modified（更改）a cat as part of an experiment that could lead to treatments for diseases.

Named Mr. Green Genes, he looks like a six-month-old cat but, under ultraviolet （紫外线的） light, his eyes, gums 牙龈）and tongue glow green. That is the result of a genetic experiment at the Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species in New Orleans, US.

Mr. Green Genes is the first fluorescent （荧光的） cat in the US and probably the world, said Betsy Dresser, the center's director. The researchers made him so they could learn whether a gene could be introduced harmlessly into a cat's genetic sequence（次序）.

If so, it would be the first step in a process that could lead to the development of ways to treat diseases via gene therapy（治疗）.

The gene, which was added to Mr. Green Genes' DNA, has no effect on his health, Ms Dresser said. Cats are ideal for this project because their genetic makeup is similar to that of humans, said Dr Martha Gomez, a scientist at the center. To show that the gene went where it was supposed to go, the researchers settled on one that would glow.  The gene "is just a marker"，said Leslie Lyons, an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis. Lyons is familiar with the center's work. "The glowing part is the fun part," she said.

Glowing creatures made international news earlier this month when the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists who had discovered the gene through their work with jellyfish（水母）.
