As a kid, I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf. I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake. Times have changed. Cagefree? Organic? Brown? White? Omega3s? Help! Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should choose: ●Brown or white? In fact,color is simply a sign of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern. ●Extra Omega3s? Omega3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed(亚麻籽) ,which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase. My opinion? Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure dose of Omega3s. Let eggs be eggs. ●Does your egg need exercise? Freerange eggs are from hens raised without the confines of a cage, though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens whose feed must meet organic standards. These hens must be raised humanely, and they must be given time to stay outdoors. Hey,happier hens do lay tastier eggs. ●Does local make a difference? Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect shape and they may or may not be certified (证明) organic; however, they have one quality I prize:I know exactly where my food came from and how it came to be! In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what the hens were fed. 1. What does the author think of Omega3 eggs? A. They are a good choice for people to purchase. B. They contain fewer Omega3s than fresh fish. C. They have the highest content of pure Omega3s. D. They are not the best source of Omega3s. 2. The underlined part “Freerange” probably means“________”. A. wild B. organic C. special D. Omega3free 3. According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with an egg"s quality? A. The egg"s color. B. The hen"s exercise. C. The hen"s living conditions. D. The hen"s food. 4. This passage is most probably taken from a book named________. A. Shopping Skills B. Eggs and Cooking C. Raising Hens D. Healthy Diet | |||

I fell in love with the minister"s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister"s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister"s family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he_was_not_worthy_of_existence. _ Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite.”he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It"s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied.”explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone,my mother said to me,“You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.”She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt.“But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different.Your only shame is to have shame.” It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food. 1. When the writer found out the minister"s family would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried mainly because ________. A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners C. she worried about meeting the minister"s family D. she worried about being laughed at 2. What does “he was not worthy of existence” probably mean? It means________. A. the writer was not interested in his existence B. he was worthless C. he should not exist D. the writer expected his coming 3. The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because________. A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her C. her father leaned back and burped loudly D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans at table 4. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. the writer appreciated her mother"s lesson years later B. the writer must be proud that she is different C. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture D. the minister"s family really enjoyed the food | |||

My husband is an engineer. Since we met, he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet 1 planted on the ground, and it seemed that no matter what else went 2 , he would be the constant one. Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel 3 of him because he never brought me flowers, he never 4 me, and nothing had changed in our marriage. After 5 , I finally told him I wanted to be 6 . He just sat there, speechless and didn"t even know 7 to say to make me stay. Finally, he spoke, "What can I do to change your 8 ?" "I"ll stay if you have a good answer 9 this question, "I replied coldly. "If I asked for a 10 growing on a cliff, and getting it for me 11 certain death, would you still do so?" His face grew troubled. "Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning?" With that, my heart 12 . He couldn"t even give me an answer 13 away. The next morning, I found he was 14 . However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes 15 misty(湿润)as I was reading it. " Dear, I"ll give you my 16 . After you do typing for a long time, I need my 17 to do it for you. Every time you leave the house, you forget your keys. I need my legs to run 18 and open the door for you.... that"s why I cannot pick the flower for you..." With tears 19 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me. Just because someone doesn"t love you 20 you want him to, it doesn"t mean that he doesn"t love you heart and soul. | |||
