The common Chinese greeting of “Ni chi le ma?” may soon be replaced (代替) by a new greeting: “Have you cleaned your plate?”
The Clean Your Plate Campaign(运动) began on the Internet in January, 2013. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well-known for their friendly behavior towards guests. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
It’s important for everyone to reduce food waste. However, wasting food is still a serious problem in China. We still have a long way to go.
President Xi Jinping is encouraging people to be less wasteful(浪费的), and he told Party members to cut back on wasteful holiday banquets(宴会). He said they should be more careful when spending the people’s money.
Wasting food certainly goes against what Xi Jinping calls, “the Chinese tradition of being hardworking and thrifty(节俭).” Having a “clean plate” is just a traditional and important thing to do.

Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock(闹钟). First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispered in a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!”
If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical(机械的) “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide(滑落) off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!
Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores. There is only one bed — the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest(比赛). Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won’t need to work, and he won’t need to get up early!

If you are one of those who want to know how to increase your vocabulary, there are some ways you may find useful. In fact, it is not that difficult to learn new words, but to remember them for a lifetime seems not to be so easy.
To make it easier, you can try word associations（联想）. Try to find a connection between a new word and things or people you know. For example, if your neighbour is an unselfish person who cares about the needs of other people, think about this person every time you see the word, and very soon you"ll start actively using it.
Try to use the words you learn as often as possible. Perhaps you are not sure which situations they should be used in, or whether you pronounce（发音） them correctly, but practice is the best way to understand that. It is not enough to find out the meaning of a word. You should hammer (敲打) it into your mind by using it in actual conversations in everyday life.
Also, it may be helpful to know the meaning of the word roots, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes （后缀）， especially if they have a Greek or Latin origin（起源）． Even if you meet a long unfamiliar word, it will be easy to know its meaning if you know the general meaning of its parts. For example, if you see the word "philanthropy", it won"t be difficult to surmise what it means if you know that "anthropo" means "human" and "philo" means "loving". Not only can ancient Greek and Latin be helpful, but a number of modern languages as well. So, if you speak French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese, guess the meaning of an unfamiliar English word if it sounds like a word from another language you know.
小题1: Which of the following old sayings can show the main idea of Paragraph 3?| A．Every dog has his day. | | B．Practice makes perfect. | | C．Every coin has two sides. | | D．Where there is a will there is a way. |

小题3:The underlined word "surmise" in the last paragraph means_______.| A．guess | B．suggest | | C．prove | D．remember |
小题4: what"s the writer"s purpose in writing the passage?| A．To tell us how he or she learnt English well. | | B．To explain why it is not hard to learn new words. | | C．To prove that learning new words can be really fun. | | D．To tell us some good ways of remembering new words. |

It seems that there’s a good reason why dogs are always seen as man’s best friend. Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion(情感)in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry.
When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the person’s face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions.
Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “left gaze bias(左视偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. The dogs’ eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs.
Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions.
“Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. If true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.”
小题1:Why are dogs seen as man’s best friend according to the passage?| A．Because dogs are the closest animals to humans. | | B．Because dogs can read the emotions in humans’ faces easily. | | C．Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad. | | D．Because dogs are good at expressing emotions. |
小题2:The dogs’ left gaze bias helps them _______.| A．get along well with humans | B．express emotions quickly | | C．have more understanding friends | D．remember more new faces |
小题3:The passage mainly wants to tell us that _______.| A．dogs have been man’s best friends for thousands of years | | B．humans have a “left gaze bias” | | C．the “left gaze bias” works on all animals | | D．dogs can read emotions the same as humans |

ARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US.
During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.
Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.
From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.
Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.
According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health.
But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?
小题1:Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?| A．self-controlled. | B．Stressed. | | C．Shy. | D．Careless. |
小题2:From the passage, we learn that careful people ____.| A．are too shy to talk to strangers | | B．love to ask the doctor for advice | | C．are likely to have a healthy lifestyle | | D．may have high blood pressure when they’re older |
小题3:Where can you probably read the article?| A．Newspaper. | B．Science fiction book. | | C．Research paper. | D．Travel guide. |
小题4:What is the main idea of the article?| A．People can change their personality type. | | B．Scientists have found two different personality types. | | C．Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle. | | D．Personalities say something about our health. |
