【題目】

What is the most popular food in western countries? If you are not sure, statistics might give you the answer.

Every year，some 20 million people walk into restaurants and buy 2 billion sandwiches. Americans alone eat more than 1 billion sandwiches annually. If you lined up all the sandwiches Westerners eat in a year, they would go around the world 13 times!

When John Montagu made the very first sandwich in England in 1762, he couldn't have imagined that it would still be very popular almost 250 years later. There is a campaign starting this month in the US to find the healthiest and best tasting sandwich in the country.

Sandwiches are commonly carried to school or work in lunch boxes or brown paper bags to be eaten for lunch. They are also taken on picnics and hiking trips. Their longlasting popularity lies in their convenience and fast preparation time.

You can put everything you want inside a sandwich. They are easy to clean up after, nutritious and come in hundreds of different kinds.

Wellknown American chef Dave Lieberman adds another reason.“I think people like to touch their food, kids especially. It's just a natural instinct. You don't have to use a knife and fork to eat a sandwich，” he said.

Sandwiches can be hot or cold with almost any kind of filling. One of the most popular kinds is the BLT—bacon，lettuce and tomato. Although it is a simple food, it can still be creative. Sandwiches can be served openfaced, with sushi inside r grilled with delicious fillings.

【1】The author intends to________.

A．tell us the history of sandwichmaking

B．introduce a popular food in the West

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．Sandwiches are usually eaten with a knife and fork.

B．Children don't like sandwiches so much as the adults.

C．Americans started a campaign against sandwiches.

D．People are trying to make sandwiches more nutritious.

B．The sandwich is a simple food.

C．The BLT is the most popular.

D．Sandwiches are mostly openfaced.

【題目】When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "The very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."

But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."

【1】Why did Mary feel regretful?

A. She didn't achieve her ambition.

B. She didn't follow her mother's advice.

C. She didn't complete her high school.

D. She didn't take care of her mother.

【2】We can know that before 1995 Mary

A. had two books published

B. received many career awards

C. knew how to use a computer

D. supported the JDRF by writing

【3】Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .

A. living with diabetes

B. successful show business

C. service for an organization

D. remembrance of her mother

【4】When Mary received the life-changing news, she .

A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet

C. tried to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way

【5】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. Mary feels pity for herself.

B. Mary has recovered from her disease.

C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.

D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.
