    A [2015 •全国卷H]

   My colour television has given me noth?ing but a headache. I was able to buy it a lit?tle over a year ago because I had my rela?tives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately , I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

    Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电)noise. For some reason, when cer?tain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉)shaking my set.

    When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $ 62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.

16.  Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

   A.  He got an older model than he had expected.

B.  He couldn't return it when it was broken.

C.  He could have bought it at a lower price.

D.  He failed to find any movie shows on it.

17.  Which of the following can best replace the phrase "signed off" in Paragraph 1?

   A.  ended all their programmes

B.  provided fewer channels

C.  changed to commercials

D.  showed all-night movies

18.  How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

   A.  By shaking and hitting it.

B.  By turning it on and off.

C.  By switching channels.

D.  By having it repaired.

19.  How does the author sound when telling the story?
A, Curious.            B. Anxious.

C. Cautious.          D. Humorous.

A

Lots of people usually discard the skin when they eat fruit and vegeta?bles. However, the skin of some fruit can provide more nutrients (营养物) and health benefits.

Bananas―When you eat bananas, don't just throw away the peel. If you are feeling down and blue? it will help you to get into a lighter mood. Taiwanese researchers found out banana peel contains serotonin(血清素),a chemical that balances the mood. 丁o use it, simply boil banana skin in wa?ter for about 10 minutes. You can drink it when it's cool.

 Citrus (W橘属类)fruit—I know lots of people love oranges and lem?ons. But they usually throw away the peel and just eat what's inside. The juice also contains antioxidants (抗氧化剂),but the peel has higher concen?tration (浓度)of them. In fact, the peel has 20 times more antioxidants than the content! Antioxidants help fight off the bad LDL cholesterol(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇).So if you want your body to be free of bad cholesterol, don't throw away all the orange peel !

Apples―I know a lot of people eat apples with their peel on. So, just a reminder: apple peel contains about 87 per cent more nutrients that help to fight cancer, according to a study by Comer University.

Potatoes—Potato skin is rich in nutrients like fibre, iron and vitamin C. Just wash the whole potato thoroughly and cook with the skin on, whether you are going to mash (捣碎)or bake the potato. In addition, potatoes help in preventing cancer and heart disease* since they also have antioxidants in them.

  A.  People like oranges because of the nutrients in their peel.

D.  If you have bad LDL cholesterol, don't eat orange peel.

3.  Apple peel contains nutrients that can help fight .
A. cancer                         B.  high cholesterol
