I feel it is pity that you didn’t want to take part in the speech contest. In my view, the speech contest can benefit from you in different ways. Firstly, it makes you look for more informations about your favorite scientists on the Internet or in the library, and learning more about them. Secondly, it is a challenge to prepare for a speech contest. You not only have to write a good article, and also have to perform them properly. What’s more, after the contest, you can find yourself with some newly good friends, or even a prize. I suggest you consider participating in the contest, that will really do good to you. If you change your mind, please let me know as sooner as possible.

 

1.pity前加a

2.didn’t改成don’t

3.去掉from

4.informations改成information

5.learning改成learn

6.and改成but

7.them改成it

8.newly改成new

9.that改成which

10.sooner改成soon

【解析】

1.1】固定搭配it is a pity that…遗憾的是----，所以pity前加a

2.2】主句部分一般现在时态，所以从句部分也用一般现在时态，故didn’t改成don’t

3.3】句意是“对你有利”，benefit是及物动词，所以去掉后面的from；benefit from从---中获益

4.4】information是不可数名词，所以informations改成information

5.5】look和learn是并列关系，故learning改成learn

6.6】固定搭配not only…but also 不但---而且---，所以把and改成but

7.7】the speech contest 是一次演讲比赛，是单数，所以在后面用it替代，故把them改成it

8.8】newly 是副词，修饰动词；friends 是名词，用形容词修饰。所以把newly改成new

9.9】the contest 在句中是先行词，指物，后面的非限制性定语从句用which引导，且that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以把that改成which

10.10】固定结构as soon as possible 尽可能快，此处用副词原级，无比较级的意思，故sooner改成soon

When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.

Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.

My father then set out to sell it. Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.

My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

1.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?

A. The author. B. The author’s father.

C. The girl. D.The girl’s mother

2.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?

A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.

B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.

C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.

D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.

3. The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.

A. named B. treated

C. proved D. described

4. According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?

A. To meet the author himself.

B. To sell the O. Henry story.

C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.

D. To give money to the girl.

“Clean your plate!” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal(呼吁): “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa.” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of “cleaning the plate’, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.

According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(胃口,食欲). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.

Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion(一分,份额) sizes began (or grew) in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰围) began to expand.

Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.

It’s not that working-class Americans don’t want to eat healthily. It’s just that, “after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.”

1.Parents in the United States tend to ask their children _______.

A. not to save food

B. to wash the dishes

C. not to eat too much

D. not to waste food

2.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?

A. Because Americans associate quantity with value.

B. Because Americans have big bellies.

C. Because Americans are good eaters.

D. Because Americans are greedy.

3.Which of the following is NOT true of working-class Americans?

A. They work long hours.

B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.

C. They don’t want to be healthy eaters.

D. They want to save money for their children.

4.What happened in the 1970s?

A. The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.

B. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.

C. The United Stated produced more grain than needed.

D. The American waistline started to expand.
