【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成填空。Keep More Food on the Table
It's said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some suggestions:
Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.
Learn to read the labels
“Best-before” and“use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer(冷凍室)
The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until you're ready to eat them. It's also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it's easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it's possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。 “Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲學(xué)家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(預(yù)算).
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解碼)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.
A.students in the US weren't interested in music
B.they were too difficult to learn
C.there weren't enough music teachers in the US
D.the schools wanted to control budgets
（2）In Paragraph 2,what does the underlined word“them” refer to(指代)?
A.Public schools.
B.Fired teachers.
C.Parents in Chicago.
D.Students in Chicago.
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
B.Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C.Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D.Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
（4）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?
A.One.
B.Two.
C.Three.
D.Four.
（5）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?
A.Music is as simple as it looks.
B.Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C.Music is a big part of our lives.
D.Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

There is an old saying in English, "Laughter is the best medicine". Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people's health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (內(nèi)啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.
There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body's immune system that is the system which fights infection (感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group — in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病學(xué)) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.
（1）We learn from the first paragraph that laughter __________ .
A.is good for one's health
B.has something to do with some illness
C.has been studied long since
D.has no effect on the body
（2）Doctors have found that laughter ___________ .
A.keeps down blood pressure

（3）Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?

（4）Smiling can produce _________.
A.about the same effects as laughter
B.more effects than laughter
C.fewer effects on the human body
D.no effects on the human body
（5）In a laughter clinic doctors __________.
A.laugh at their patients
B.encourage their patients to laugh
C.smile when they don't feel like laughing
D.never stop laughing
（6）The main idea of this passage is that _________.

B.there are several ways of studying the advantages of laughter
C.tests show that laughter can produce positive effects on human body
D.laughter and physical exercise have the same effects on human body

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。 We moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I missed her a lot. I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma.
Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced. I felt as if my world was falling apart. I lived with my mother for a time, next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World War Ⅱ.
Grandma never had much in the way of money or material things. But it was the little things she gave me that let me feel warm, like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl, letting me sip the coffee from her cup or allowing me to sit on the table as I had meals.
Though she didn't have much, she did something for my brother and me. I will always remember she saved her coins in a glass jar. I thought my grandma could have used these coins herself, but she saved them to give us when we came to visit her.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做禮拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.
