He had never done anything like this ever before, and I told him, “No.” To Cocoa, one “no” is usually 17 , but not that day. He stopped briefly, and then 18 ran toward me, throwing his entire weight at the right side of my chest. He crashed into me and I cried in 19 , falling down to the floor. Soon after this, I felt a lump (肿块). I went to my doctors, and after X-rays 20 and lab work were done, they told me I had cancer.

I had a complete mastectomy (乳房切除术) and the cancer has not 23 to any other part of my body. The doctors told me if the cancer had gone undetected even six more months, it would have been too 24 .

Don’t be surprised when strangers talk to you in Canada! You will find that many Canadians will smile at you as they pass in the street, or say something to you like “Hi!” or “How’s it going?” Just reply with something similar. In the UK the reply would be “I’m fine”, but in Canada they say “I’m good”.
In company, when someone is offering you a second helping of food or more wine, if you don’t want any more, use the same expression— “I’m good”. In this case, it means “No, thank you. I’ve had enough”. Most Canadians don"t press you to eat more than you want.
In restaurant, your plate will be cleared away almost immediately you have finished eating. When you go into a shop or store, the shop assistant asks you how you are or if they can help you, it is their way of being friendly and making conversation with the customers.
Canadians eat early and go home early. When you are invited to a Canadian’s home, you may be asked to arrive at 5:30 pm or 6 pm. But guests in Europe don’t expect to arrive until 7:30 pm or 8 pm. Remember to take off your shoes and leave them inside the door without being asked. It’s not a religious custom, but it’s practical. In winter, there can be a lot of snow and dirt on your shoes, once you are in the warm house it melts and falls off, making a mess. Canadians tend to have light colored carpets or hardwood floors.
If you’re invited for dinner, it will be a full sit- down meal. Meat is usually barbecued in the freezing cold of winter. Do take something with you, like a bottle of wine. Arrive on time and don’t stay over 10 pm.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
| A. | “I’m good” can mean you do not need more food in Canada. |
| B. | In Canada, you will meet strangers in the street saying “Hi” to you. |
| C. | In a Canadian restaurant, the plates will stay at the table until you leave. |
| D. | Canadians usually say “I’m good” to answer the greeting of “How’s it going?” |
| A. | you will have a full sit-down meal |
| B. | you don’t have to bring any gift for the host |
| C. | you are expected to arrive at 7:30 or 8 pm |
| D. | you don’t have to take off your shoes when you enter the room |
| A. | they hope to make friends with you |
| B. | they want to ask you for help |
| C. | they are very friendly to customers |
| D. | they are your good friends |
| A. | Canadians like dark colored carpets. |
| B. | In Canada, meat will not be barbecued even in the cold winter. |
| C. | You will always be asked to eat more food than you want in Canada. |
| D. | It is usually rude to stay over 10 pm in your Canadian friend’s home. |
| A. | Some customs in Canada |
| B. | Dinner party rules in Canada |
| C. | Studying in Canada |
| D. | Doing business in Canada |
People who are outdoors in cold weather should avoid actions like suddenly lifting a heavy basket full of snow. Even walking through heavy, wet snow can strain a person’s heart.
Many people aren’t conditioned to the physical stress of outdoor activities and don’t know the dangers of being outdoors in cold weather. Those who like winter sports can suffer accidental hypothermia if they don’t make certain preparations.
Hypothermia means the body temperature has fallen below normal. It occurs when your body can’t produce enough energy to keep the internal (内部的) body temperature warm enough. It can kill you. Heart failure causes most deaths in hypothermia.
Children, the elderly and those with heart disease are at special risk. As people age, their ability to keep a normal internal body temperature often decreases. Elderly people can suffer hypothermia without knowing they’re in danger because they can’t notice the cold conditions as quickly as the young.
Besides cold temperatures, high winds, snow and rain can also steal body heat. Wind is especially dangerous because it removes the layer of heated air from around your body. At 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a 20-mile-per-hour wind, the cooling effect is equal to calm air at four degrees. Similarly dampness (湿气) causes the body to lose heat faster than it would at the same temperature in drier conditions.
To keep warm, wear more clothes. This traps air between layers. Also, wear a hat or head scarf. Much of your body’s heat can be lost through your head. Keep your hands and feet warm, too, as they tend to lose heat rapidly.
Don’t drink alcohol before going outdoors or when outside. Alcohol makes you feel warm at first because blood vessels in the skin expand. But heat is then drawn away from the body’s important organs.
1. The underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A. injure B. warm C. control D. burn
2. What is implied in the passage about hypothermia?
| A. | It means the body temperature falls rapidly. |
| B. | Most heart attacks are caused by it. |
| C. | It is not as scary as people think. |
| D. | It can threaten a person’s life. |
| A. | they like exercising outside in cold mornings |
| B. | they can’t notice cold conditions if they are not told |
| C. | their body temperature is generally lower than young people’s |
| D. | their ability to keep a normal internal body temperature is not so good |
| A. | What causes the body to lose heat faster. |
| B. | The advantages of drier conditions. |
| C. | What else can steal body heat. |
| D. | Dangers of high winds. |
| A. | Feeling warm at first |
| B. | The body’s heat is taken away |
| C. | Blood vessels in the skin expand |
| D. | The risk of hypothermia is reduced |

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 36 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never 37 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 38 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 39 table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the 40 for my friends! ” said Ben. We all sat down and looked 41 at each other—what was he 42 ?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a 43 of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next 44 was also a little strange 45 we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”
As we ate we chatted and finally the 46 turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(菜谱) for this, ”asked Marina, “or did you 47 it up? ”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 48 what I could find. ”Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days. ”“But there’s 49 choice in what you can find 50 supermarkets, ” he replied.
51 that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 52 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 53 , boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had 54 provided a decent 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 55 millions of people.
