Consider the tomato: easy to grow, healthy to eat, tasty in just about any recipe and pleasant to look at. And come late summer, in steady supply. Though you can find it during the coldest winter months, August is the tomato's season to shine. Farmers' markets and grocery stores are bursting with lesser-known but arguably tastier varieties, including purple cherries and big heirlooms.
"Heirlooms ripened on the vine(藤) are the tastiest of all tomatoes," says Amy Goldman Fowler, author of The Heirloom Tomato. "I think their beauty is more than skin-deep." Heirloom seeds have been around for at least 50 years, often passed down from generation to generation. You may hear cherry or heirloom used to describe a tomato at hand, but there are many different kinds of tomatoes, and growers have fun giving catchy names to varieties: Mortgage Lifters, Beefsteaks, Oxhearts, Early Girls.
And all of them come with health benefits. Tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidant lycopene (抗氧化番茄紅素), which is thought to help lower a person's risk for heart problems and cancer. Tomatoes also contain healthy vitamins(維生素) A and C. For the best fruit (they're fruits, not vegetables), choose tomatoes with shiny, firm skin and a little give, and store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Keep them out of the fridge, since cold temperatures can affect the original taste.
"They satisfy something more than just taste," says Fowler. "Tomatoes feed your soul."
1.In which season do tomatoes sell best?
A. Spring. B. Summer.
C. Autumn. D. Winter.
2.What can you learn from the passage?
A. Tomatoes are healthy vegetables.
B. Direct sunlight helps to store tomatoes.
C. Tomatoes go bad more quickly in the fridge.
D. Heirlooms are tastier than the other tomatoes.
3.Why do tomatoes benefit people?
A. They can produce antioxidant lycopene.
B. They may prevent some diseases.
C. They can be used as medicine.
D. They may make people's skin shiny.

As we all know, sleep is very important and necessary. I would love everyone to develop the following four habits to have better sleep without needing the alarm(鬧鐘)wake-up call.
1.If you eat much food an hour before you go to bed, your body will hate you, because your body needs time to digest while you are still awake.
2.When I hear on TV that people just need 30-minute exercise a week, I think that’s wrong. Every person should get 30-minute exercise every day. When you exercise, your body uses energy and feels tired. You have to recover from the tiredness. 3. The harder you exercise your body, the faster it falls to sleep and the better it sleeps.
Turn the TV off. There are a few shows I still watch, but they will never get in my way of (妨礙) sleep. The bedroom is only for sleeping and rest. 4..
5.A question to ask yourself: If I didn’t have an alarm, what time would I get up? If that time is the time you need to get up, you should probably throw away the alarm. If the time you actually get up is much later than the time you need to get up, make great changes to your way of life and the time you go to sleep. No one should need an alarm.
A. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.
B. Don’t eat any food 4 hours before you sleep.
C. Throw away the alarm.
D. Sleep is one of the most important things in our lives.
E. Your body recovers when you are sleeping.
F. Try to get up as early as you can.

Not all students know how to prepare for exams. 1. With teachers’ help, students can prepare for exams much better, thus doing better in exams. Here are some ways that teachers can use to help students prepare for exams.

Throughout your review time, encourage students to mark their topic list, crossing off things that they already know and highlighting or putting a star beside things they need to study.
