What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies (辣椒).

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy (辣 的) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after

eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

And chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood, there were lights, all colors, and ornaments (飾品) shining against the green of a pine.

“Where did it come from?” I asked.

“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when in great need…such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon.”

The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly(難看) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.

“It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn’t be fussy because he had tried his best.”

“Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.”

It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

A.

B.

C.

D.

A. One soldier told the writer he would have a three-day holiday for Christmas.

B. When the writer got home, the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree.

C. His mother would not complain for the Christmas tree which looked awkward.

D. All the soldiers were lucky to go home for Christmas during the war.

3.From the passage, we can infer that ___________.

A. the writer spent his first Christmas during the war

B. the writer didn’t like the tree cut by someone else

C. the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas tree

D. his mother didn’t want to have a Christmas tree during wartime

4.What does the writer mean by saying “all Christmas trees are perfect”?

A. Nothing is as perfect as Christmas.

B. Once at home, everything is so nice.

C. During the war, trees are hard to find.

D. All Christmas trees are the most beautiful.

5.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Soldier and the Christmas Tree B. How Soldiers Spent Christmas

C. The Perfect Christmas Tree D. Christmas and a Special Tree

1.C 2.C 3.C 4.B 5.C 【解析】 本文講述了作者的母親在圣誕節(jié)找到的圣誕樹不太完美，但是她認為只要過圣誕節(jié)時，家里有棵圣誕樹，那就是完美的。 1.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crysta...
