Garlic
Some people can"t stand garlic." That smell is too strong. And it doesn"t go away! There"s nothing worse
than garlic," they say. 1 Chester Aaron grows eighty-seven kinds of garlic on his farm. He wrote a book
called Garlic is life. It seems that people either love garlic or hate it.
2 The first wild garlic probably grew somewhere in western Russia. Later, travelers carried garlic to
China, Europe, and North Africa. Farmers began planting it over 5000 years ago. People in many countries
shared similar ideas about garlic. For example, it was believed that garlic made it possible for slaves to work
harder and longer. In Greece, the athletes of the first Olympic Games ate garlic, because they wanted to
become stronger and faster. 3 In some places, garlic was called "food for lovers" People added it to other
foods because it tasted good.
People in many cultures ate garlic when they got sick. 4 It was also supplied to help with different
kinds of pain.
Is eating garlic actually food for you, or should we just laugh at these old ideas? The truth is, doctors
today are telling their patients,"Eat garlic!" Recent research shows that garlic is good for your heart.
5 In many cultures, people trusted garlic to protect them from all kinds of bad luck. Garlic is great,
but it can"t do that! |
A. But garlic wasn"t only for slaves and athletes.
B. It was supposed to make a cold or fever go away.
C. In China, people also used garlic to keep meat fresh.
D. Maybe you don"t know that garlic has a long history.
E. Recent research shows that garlic is bad for our health.
F. Other people say it tastes great and it"s good for you, too.
G.. However, we can"t accept every idea about garlic from the past. |

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict," he
jokes."I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today
David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. "I"m
working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United
States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies
allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-
down Friday" or "casual Friday." "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has
really become an everyday thing," said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that
it"s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don"t
want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it"s hard to hire people if you have a
conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are
wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers
said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said
that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual
dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said.
"For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes." |

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we"ve never
been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be
followed when online.
The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how
you"d feel if you were in the other person"s shoes. For anything you"re about to send: ask yourself, "Would
I say this to the person"s face?" If the answer is "no", rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel
sure that you"d feel comfortable saying the words to the person"s face.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能反应) is to fire back in the same manner.
But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
If it was caused by disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.
Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time,
if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you
are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don"t ask such questions. |

Most American teenagers used to spend their summer vacations holding multiple jobs. However, with the
increase in gas prices, teenagers chose to stay at home instead of going out of the town."I wish the prices
would _____.The expense of driving to places is affecting our daily life."said Alicia, still a senior at Enochs
High School in Modesto, California.
Alicia, who spent her summer at her dad"s house, said that there would be no point in getting a job."The
drive to my workplace is so long that I would hardly be making any profit because all my money would be
going toward gas,"she said.
Teenagers are now forced to give up the pleasure of driving around the town without purpose."Instead
of driving around looking for something to do, I now find myself planning the way in advance so I don"t
waste necessary gas," said Stephen Macko, a student at Davis High School in Modesto. What kinds of things
are teenagers doing in order to conserve gas? Alicia saves gas by doing all of her things at one time so she
doesn"t have to go home and leave again.
"I try to do it all in one trip so I don"t have to always be running around and wasting gas,"she said. "I know
that when I go to lunch with my friends, we make sure to go somewhere near all of our houses so we save
gas.""But it"s hard, considering I drive a big truck. I also try to get a lift from my friends when they are going
to places that I am going to."said Stephen. Some try not to accelerate too much. Teenagers will have to
continue changing their lifestyles unless the price of gas decreases. However, that might not be a bad thing. |

D. if | | 阅读理解。 | Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking
systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the
Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.
Allan Friedman, the research director, says,"All wireless companies do some location tracking as
part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there
are laws to protect it. Law enforcement (执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard
before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.
Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple
devices. They said Apple"s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp
information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer
that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access
to the device or computer.
Allan Friedman says,"This raises additional concerns. There"s the idea that because it"s on my phone
and on my computer, rogue applications (恶意程序) that I pay for or that I"m tricked into downloading
may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it."
Apple says it is "not tracking the location of your iPhone". It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi
hotspots and cellphone towers near the user"s location. This information is meant to help the iPhone
quickly find its location when needed.
Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google.
The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this
an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says,"There aren"t strong controls over things like
location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most
important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?" | | 1. Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones? | A. Because the systems can store users" information
B. Because many users have suffered loss after using them.
C. Because it is thought to threaten users" privacy.
D. Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems. | | 2. Allan Friedman believes that _______. | A. wireless companies focus on personal privacy.
B. people are forbidden to get access to private data at will
C. phone companies may sell private information secretly
D. customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking | | 3. What do we know from Paragraph 3? | A. Location tracking information is stored online.
B. Apple"s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.
C. Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone.
D. Apple"s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users. | | 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? | A. Apple denies that it tracks the location of users.
B. The researchers may misunderstand the Apple"s systems.
C. The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.
D. The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user"s information. | 最新试题
