11．The latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer． All the stores are selling them； everyone wants one． Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However，that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods． In case you're thinking of buying a steamer，I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．
●Folding Steamer
The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel （不銹鋼）version．
Advantages：This is a good，basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it； a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．
Disadvantages：It only holds small dishes． Also，if you put too much water in the pan，it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery． If you put too little water in and let it get dry，you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．
●Steaming Pan
This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers，which sits on the oven ring． The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．
Advantages：This is an excellent steamer，lightweight，easy to clean，and of all the steamers I've tried，this cooks the fastest． Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top． It's easier to store．
Disadvantages：Water can boil away until the pan is dry，but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food，this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top． It doesn't supply a dish for cooking rice．
For serious users of steamers，I recommend having one of each version． If you just want to try it，get the folding stainless-steel type．

56．Why did the author carry out the survey？A
A．To inform people of different steamers
B．To run an advertisement for steamers
C．To find out a suitable steamer to buy
D．To learn how to cook with steamers
57．What can we learn about the folding steamer？D
A．It comes in different kinds of shapes and sizes．
B．It is designed for large families．
C．It is able to clean itself．
D．It is easy to take out．
58． The Nutritious Liuing steamerC．
A． is more difficult to store
B． provides a dish to cook rice with
C． cooks different foods at the same time
D． cooks fish and chicken faster than vegetables
59．According to the author，you shouldD．
A． use steamers to save cooking time
B． buy a steamer with dishes supplied
C． do a survey before choosing a steamer
D． buy a folding steamer if you want to try．

18．Wikipedia：The Online Know-It-All
If you want to find out a piece of information about anything，the best place to search for it is Wikipedia．The name"Wikipedia"is from the Hawaiian word wiki，meaning"quick"．This online encyclopedia （百科全書） is written by thousands of people around the world．Anyone with Internet access can write，add or make changes to Wikipedia articles if he or she finds it incorrect or not well written．In this way，people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors．But contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because many experienced editors are watching pages and techies （技術(shù)專家） can write editing programs to keep track of or correct bad edits．Where there are disagreements on how to present facts，editors work together to arrive at an article that fairly represents current expert opinion on the subject．
Wikipedia is quite different from paper-based reference sources in important ways．Unlike printed encyclopedias，it is continually created and updated，with articles on historic events appearing within minutes，rather than months or years．
What's more，Wikipedia includes articles written in about 285 languages．This fact makes it one of the few websites on the Internet that are truly international．It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales，as a free online English-language encyclopedia project．Since its creation，it has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites，attracting nearly 500 million unique visitors monthly．There are more than 77，000 active contributors working on more than 22，000，000 articles in different languages．As of today，there are 4，396，866 articles in English．
So，if you are looking for some information，why not try Wikipedia？It's free，multilingual，and informative．
13．According to the passage，what is Wikipedia？A
A．A free website encyclopedia．
B．A computer game．
C．A free encyclopedia in book form．
D．An online university．
14．From the passage we know thatB
A．Wikipedia only charges users a small fee
B．Wikipedia catches a wide audience
C．incorrect editions might do great harm to Wikipedia 
D．it will take long to update the information on Wikipedia
15．Where can we probably read the passage？C
A．In a story book．
B．In a research report．
C．In a science magazine．
D．In a travel brochure．
