“Daddy, can I have a piece of cake?” my oldest son asked me.
We had just been to the gym and stopped to   31  at the restaurant.
“No,” I replied, “you don’t need a piece of cake.”
My son   32  15 in a few days. He   33  over 6 feet tall. He is very slim and athletic in shape. It was not always that way. My wife wrote a book about the challenge and   34  of getting him fit. He now takes it   35  and looks as he’s never been overweight in his life.
He had a full plate of   36  and tofu. He didn’t need a piece of cake. Besides, everything in the restaurant is quite   37 . Our dinners could have   38  a family of seven at a fast food restaurant. That cake probably cost $5.
He was   39  as he looked at the delicious cakes. I had forgotten that I had walked over to the cake shelf while he was   40  his food from the buffet (自助餐).
I looked at my   41 . There sitting on the edge was a piece of   42 . I looked at it wondering but also knowing how it got there. “We will divide it,” I said.
A few days later my oldest son was with me again. We stopped at a   43 . He ordered a sandwich. I then   44  two sandwiches. He immediately barked, “Can I have two?” He wanted exactly what Daddy had.
Your kids are very likely to put on their plates, exactly what you have on yours, and I think this applies to more than food. Keep your   45  plate with only what you want your kinds to have.

举一反三
Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh products from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade (阴凉) plantings. He says, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours’ direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours’ full sun a day. It also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water.
Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticide (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Some insects dislike shade, and the hottest part day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, sun intensity (强度), shadows from trees, walls and buildings all influence how much sunlight falls on plants. And people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. It can even mean different things in different parts of the world.
小题1:How many hours of sunshine are enough to keep tomato plants growing in Hoffman’s garden?
A.five hours a dayB.Six hours a day
C.Eight hours a dayD.Twelve hours a day
小题2:From the passage we can know that ______ .
A.plants with wider leaves produce more in full sun.
B.as a matter of fact, plants don’t need to grow in full sun.
C.the more sunshine plants get, the more they will produce
D.plants with wider leaves grow better in shadows
小题3:All of the following can influence how much sunlight falls on plants EXCEPT ______.
A.length of day time
B.brightness of the sun
C.changes of the season
D.shadows
小题4: Which of the following can best describe Mr. Hoffman?
A.CuriousB.ExperiencedC.Easy-goingD.Funny
小题5:We may read the passage on a website in the section of ______.
A.environmentB.travellingC.agricultureD.lifestyle

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We sent in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University,New York, says, “‘Robots ’noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity(电)!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out of it if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
小题1:In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can    .
A.take the place of man’s rescue jobs
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings.
D.get into small spaces
小题2:In doing rescue jobs,        .
A.rats smell better than dogs
B.dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people
C.robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D.rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
小题3:Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that       .
A.they are more fantastic than other animals
B.they are less expensive to train than dogs
C.they don’t need electricity
D.they are small and can get into small places
小题4:After reading the passage we can know       .
A.at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people
B.the “rat project” has been completed
C.people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D.now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues

Hi!Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).
  ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
  Here"s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman"s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
  There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what"s behind these strange mental messages. Here"s another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
  A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There"s room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There"s room for one more."
  Then the man saw that the driver"s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn"t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
  Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
小题1:According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ________.
A.in existence B.imaginative C.not real D.impossible
小题2:ESP lets people know _________.
A.about events before they happen
B.about events after they happen
C.about events that are happening some distance away
D.A and C
小题3:In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means _______.
A.things that may not happen
B.things that happen in a dream
C.things that must happen
D.things that happen by accident
小题4:This article is mainly about ________.
A.the human dreamB.the sixth sense
C.the human mind D.a crowded bus

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees" nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees" nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined(坚定的) in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
小题1:Why is it difficult to find a wild bees" nest?
A.It"s small in size.B.It"s hidden in trees.
C.It"s covered with wax.D.It"s hard to recognize.
小题2:What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A bee.B.A bird.C.A honey seeker.D.A beekeeper.
小题3:The honey guide is special in the way              .
A.it gets its foodB.it goes to church
C.it sings in the forestD.it reaches into bees" nests
小题4:What can be the best title for the text?
A.Wild BeesB.Wax and Honey

What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems — more crime, dirtier streets , and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity ), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in city areas.
How can we deal with such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is little suitable housing — and because houses are too expensive. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several streets. These problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.
Los Angeles, California, for example, has no subway system and buses are slow. Instead, many commuters (乘、开车上班族) drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, however, has a big transit system — buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than that in Los Angeles. A taxi driver complains, “I was driving home, but in forty-five minutes I moved only two miles! Finally, I turned off the engine and just sat there. A lot of people left their cars where they were in the middle of the street and went into a bar for a few beers!”
On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use buses or subways to move quickly from one part of the city to another.
小题1:What do some people think is the main problem of the future city like?
A.Poor housing.B.Overcrowding.
C.Environmental pollution.D.Traffic jams.
小题2:The best way to work out the traffic problem in Los Angels might be _________________.
A.cutting down the number of private cars
B.providing more buses in the freeway
C.building a subway system
D.persuading people to live nearer to their workplaces
小题3:Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE?
A.Thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets.
B.The crime rate isn’t going down.
C.The traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several streets.
D.Many people have a positive attitude towards the future of the city.
