Did you visit the Shanghai World Expo last summer? What impressed (给……留下印象) you? 21st Century Kids invites four kids to talk about their experiences. They are back from the Expo. What did they bring us? Let’s see what they have to say.
I went to the SAIC-GM Pavilion (上汽集团通用汽车馆). I found my dream car there. It is a green car. Its name is “Leaf”. Chinese engineers made the car. Its roof is in the shape of a leaf. The roof takes in CO2 and changes it intoelectricityfor the car.
The Japan Pavilion is full of high technology. The “Wonder Camera” is cool. It can find a smiling face in a crowd. When you’re smiling, it takes a photo of you. I want to invent something like that in the future.
My favorite pavilion is the Germany Pavilion. I watched the Energy Source show. Visitors made a ball swing back and forth (来回摇摆) by using only their voices. It’s amazing! Although we had waited for quite a long time before we entered the hall, I think it is well worth seeing with your own eyes.
I like painting, so my parents took me to the France Pavilion to see the famous paintings. But the French cooks caught my eye. I saw them cook. My mom told me that they are some of the best cooks in the world. The dish they cooked looked like a painting. So, being a cook is my second dream job.
小题1: The 21st Century Kids seems to be _____.| A．a travel service | B．a newspaper | | C．a group of tourists | D．four children |
小题2: What does the underlined word “electricity” mean in the passage?小题3: What activity did the writer experience in the France Pavilion?| A．Using the “Wonder Camera” | B．Driving the green car “Leaf”. | | C．To have delicious French dishes. | D．To see cooks painting. |
小题4: What made the ball in the Germany Pavilion swing?| A．Visitors’ smiling faces | B．CO2 from cars | | C．Some secret power | D．Noise made by visitors |

All over the world, the global diet includes fast food—prepared items from inexpensive restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and Schnitzel, Italian pizza, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles and the like. The variety of fast foods all over the world is growing. Even so, this kind of style is becoming worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains (eating places with the same name and company owner). For example, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in nearly every part of the world.
For several reasons, many people choose fast food. First, it is quick and convenient. Second, it is cheaper than special home-cooked meals or formal restaurant dinners. And third, it is easy to find every eating place with the same company name. The atmosphere and style of most fast-food places is casual, comfortable, and familiar.
Why do other eaters stay away from this fast, easy kind of nourishment? The main reason is its low nutritional value. Fast food doesn’t have large amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the like-elements necessary for good nutrition and health. In contrast (相反), most types of fast food have a lot of fat, sugar, or salt in them. Possibly, these things can cause or increase health disorders, like heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. Recently, these quick and easy kinds of world wide nourishment are generally getting better and more healthful. For example, many fast-food restaurants now have put vegetable items on their menus.
Of course, human beings around the world don’t always eat in fast-food places.The variety of food choices is large now and is probably going to increase. The number of food preparation methods is growing too. Cooking customs, eating habits, and food preferences all over the world are becoming more healthful. In these and other ways, the global diet is changing.
小题1: From Paragragh 1,we can know that __________________. | A．America serves four kinds of fast food | | B．we used to have more types of fast food | | C．different countries have different types of fast food | | D．America serves fewer fast food than other countries |
小题2:The underlined phrase “stay away from” means __________. | A．move away from | B．disorder | C．get out of | D．dislike |
小题3:The passage is mainly about ___________.| A．the changing global diet | | B．the increasing types of diet | | C．the reason why people choose fast food | | D．the reason why people dislike fast food |

The Aborigines (澳洲土著) have lived in Australia for about 60,000 years. They painted pictures inside caves, and these are the rock paintings that have given us so much information about Aboriginal life. For example, some of the paintings that are about 10,000 years old show men with boomerangs. From this we know that the Aborigines started using boomerangs for hunting at that time. Other pictures show kangaroos, so we know that there were kangaroos at that time.
 The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live in the earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the earth—the earth belongs to the spirits.
In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.
Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.
小题1: The Aborigines painted pictures .| A．on animals’ fur | B．on the land | | C．on the tree | D．on the rock |
小题2: What do you think the Aborigines used boomerangs to do?| A．To paint. | B．To hunt. | C．To fight. | D．To play. |
小题3:. The Aborigines thought were the most important on the earth.| A．people | B．animals | C．spirits | D．plants |
小题4: In an Aboriginal group decided things.| A．the older men | B．the leader | | C．the English | D．the Europeans |
小题5:The number of the Aborigines is small today .| A．because their living condition was very bad | | B．because the English killed a lot of them in the wars | | C．because of the new illnesses the Europeans brought them | | D．because of the wars and the new illnesses |
