their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious
or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?
Most of the food we eat today is processed food ( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and
supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are added to the foods in these
factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be
harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some
producers do not obey the laws.
A producer of steamed buns (馒头) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law.
He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using
them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students... like you.
Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people"s health? The answer is simple: he
wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing, and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China.
Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others.
B. they want to make the foods contain something harmful
C. chemicals will cause disease
D. chemicals are harmless
B. There are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used.
C. The food scandals in China are making many people worry about the food safety.
D. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten, by students in Zhejiang Province.
Here what"s the Chinese meaning of "moral failing"?
B. 道德滑坡
C. 质量下降
D. 心理失衡
B. The processed food is clean, healthy and nutritious.
C. Too many people pay much attention to making money.
D. The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and can be used.
答案
举一反三
when getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune system and the virus is
strong enough too, you will possibly get terrible cold symptoms (症状)?
Vitamin C won"t stop a cold
It is claimed that Vitamin C helps by increasing white blood cells. However, many tests have shown that
it does not prevent colds. At best, it only slightly reduces the rime of symptoms.
Staying indoors won"t protect you
One of the most likely sources of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk. A study of the cold virus
in offices found that 47% of desktops, 46% of computer mice and 45% of telephones had cold viruses on
them.
Wrapping up warm won"t protect you
Colds are more common in autumn and winter. That"s because the cool, wet and cold weather drives
people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to another. And the distinct peak in
colds (感冒高峰) is in September and early January, which is likely due to the return of students to schools
and colleges after the summer and winter vacation.
Old granny"s chicken soup is right
Granny"s chicken soup is an old cure for colds since a long time ago. Scientists say it is true. Chicken
soup does help cure a cold. Many canned soups are just efficient as homemade ones.
B. Vitamin C
C. the terrible cold symptom
D. your own immune system
B. there are many telephones
C. there are many cold viruses
D. there are many computer mice
B. the weather is cool, wet and cold
C. students return to schools and colleges
D. viruses can jump from one person to another more easily
The underlined word "efficient" means ________ in Chinese.
B. 美味的
C. 值钱的
D. 方便的
strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us
with its purring.
As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the
Tiger Mother (虎妈战歌) tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict
is the only way to develop a child"s potential (潜力) and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her
kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids
after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for
hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but
she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if
they"re pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really pussycats. They care more about their
children"s self-esteem (自尊). They don"t want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings.
American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and
Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond
to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.

| In the opinion of many people, the two-parent family is the correct way to raise children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but single-parent families have had to face prejudices (偏见) against their life-style. However, the single-parent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States, a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a single-parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single-parent families. When compared to two-parent families,single-parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money,and children receive less attention. What"s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure of both work and home. Despite (尽管) these disadvantages, it is possible for single-parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone. Surprisingly,single-parent families also have some advantages over two-parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility (灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don"t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued (尊重的). It"s important to remember that single-parent families have,until now suffered (受到) prejudices from some people.They think that it"s easier for the children in single-parent families to drop out of school in teens, and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, single-parent families become more accepted by society,and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear. | |||
