For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.
The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat so much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.
In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.
Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the U.S.A.; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry while people in rich countries eat too much.

If we want to deal with the association (社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some "dos and don"ts" for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex (性别) in public instead of in secret.
Don"t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friend with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don"t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They  are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can"t be eaten. An apple won"t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love. 
小题1:The main idea of the passage is to _______. 
A.tell students to keep away from early love
B.give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C.tell students how to make friends
D.teach boys how to talk with girls
小题2:We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______. 
A.with a good state of mindB.in real friendship
C.in publicD.in secret
小题3:If you are a shy person, you can _______. 
A.find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B.only have a few friends of the same sex
C.not make friends with the other sex
D.not fall in love with other students easily
小题4:What does the underlined word "ditch" mean? 
A.波浪B.泥潭C.圈套D.迷惑
小题5:A person at adolescence is _______. 
A.complicated (复杂的) in feelings
B.good at making friends with each other
C.old enough to fall in love
D.easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider the following reasons to read more books.

You will have strong brain power .Studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process(过程), reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp (even in old age).   
You will travel to a new world . Sometimes our daily life can start to get boring . At times like this, I like to dive into a good fiction book, where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out. I’ll come back refreshed after my mini-vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words.   
You will improve your vocabulary . The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to improve my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry.  
You will entertain yourself at a low price .If you’re looking for entertainment without much money, reading is your best choice. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices(设备), it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.
You will discover surprising new ideas.  Reading introduced me to concepts (概念)like mindful eating, relaxation exercises, and the importance of loving yourself. If I didn’t read, I wouldn’t realize these ideas. If you don’t read, you will miss many surprising new ideas.  
You will become an expert(专家) in your field . Don’t you think reading articles and books by experts in your field might make you better at what you do? If you don’t learn more about your profession, then your lack of passion could be a sign that you’re in the wrong field.   
I firmly believe that reading has changed my life . I hope these reasons can encourage you to read more books.
