It was raining hardly outside, that made it difficult for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. I rushed out and it was my mother, who is already in the fifties, that brought me lunch, in spite the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for our children. But what had the children done in return£¿All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parents should serve for them unconditionally. My dear mum or dad, thank you very much for bringing me up. How shall I do for you?

The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty.Since the 1980s,some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health,while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.

According to a scientific report,mild coffee consumption,three to five cups per day,can he taken as a healthy dietary pattern,along with other healthful behaviors.The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson's disease.

According to Dr.Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic,high consumption of coffee has health risks.Dr.Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.

According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr.Gregory Marcus,a doctor from the University of California San Francisco,daily moderate consumption of caffeine,less than 4 cups,is not associated with these issues.

Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health,it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.

When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee,Harwood,a high school student stated,"Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee,for the most part,coffee drinking sounds good for health.Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake."

1.What is the people's attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?

A. Disapproving. B. Tolerant.

C. Doubtful. D. Mixed.

2.What does the underlined word "moderate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Personal. B. Slight.

C. Reasonable. D. Heavy.

3.What can we infer about Harwood?

A. He'll keep on drinking coffee. B. He loves his high school life.

C. He often falls asleep in class. D. He has some health problems.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time, according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University¡¯s School of Life and Health Sciences. The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the "5-second rule" ¡ª the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less. Although people have long followed the ¡®5-second rule¡¯, until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.

The study, undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton, Professor of Microbiology at Aston University, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet, cement floor to toast, pasta, biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. The results showed that: time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food, and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. Professor Hilton said, "Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time."

The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the ¡®five-second rule¡¯. The survey showed that: 87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those that would, or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the ¡®5-second rule¡¯. Professor Hilton added, "Our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food, with women the most likely to do so. But they are also more likely to follow the ¡®5-second rule, which our research has shown to be much than an old wives¡¯ tale."

1.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. A toast dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.

C. The food dropped on the carpet shares the same potential of being polluted with the food dropped on the cement floor.

D. The food dropped on the cement floor is not as safe as food dropped on the carpet within 30 seconds.

2.What is the passage probably developed?

D. People surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.

Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.

Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colourful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.

But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.

Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.

This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. ¡°You¡¯re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?¡± said the hairdresser. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try my way of escaping?¡±

¡°What¡¯s that?¡± asked Norah.

¡°Well,¡± the hairdresser answered, ¡°when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it¡¯s someone I don¡¯t want to see, I say innocently,¡¯ I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve got to go out.¡¯ But...¡±

A. If I am tired, I say, ¡°Sorry, can you come next time?¡±

B. If it¡¯s someone I like to see, I say, ¡°How lucky! I¡¯ve just come in!¡±

C. If it¡¯s someone I like to see, I say, ¡°How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡±

D. If it is fine that day, I say, ¡°I¡¯m tired of this, but I¡¯ll show you around the place, anyhow.¡±

That woman carried a new blanket (ë̺) over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.

¡°Is it finished?¡± I asked.

She shook her head. ¡°No. It is ready,¡± she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.

¡°It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (±àÖ¯),¡± I said to my mother. ¡°But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?¡±

¡°I will tell you later,¡± my mother said, ¡°but first I will take you to the Navajo(ÄÉÍß»ô) village.¡±

We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.

It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words.

¡°Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?¡± my mother asked.

¡°What should I have noticed?¡± I looked at her and asked.

¡°Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example ¡ªthe line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (Ò»Õë) missing.¡±

I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!

¡°But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?¡± I asked.

¡°They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come ¡ª it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.¡±

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(¾üÓª).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn¡¯t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.

¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir,¡± said the first soldier. ¡°I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.¡±

And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier¡¯s turn. He said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but¡­¡±

Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, ¡°If you say something was wrong with your bus, I¡¯ll punish you at once!¡±

On Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada. Being from the UK, I had no idea what this would need, but he promised me it was a fun Catalan(¿¨ËþÀ¼)tradition, and so I agreed to go. I wasn¡¯t disappointed!

First, we took a train out to a small town near Tarragona, about an hour away from Barcelona centre. I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns, all sitting on the coastline.

When we arrived, we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle. While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana, at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing! It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.

Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers, we finally went inside for the Calotada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was. We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks(´ó´Ð)was placed in front of us. It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers, dip them in a (delicious!) sauce and eat them. This sounds easier than it was.

My friend had been right in the end, it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home. It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture, although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!
