I can't think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You'll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!
★ Tomatina — Bunol, Spain
Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world's biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.
★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea
For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region's mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.
★ Holi — India
Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India's most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.
★ International Pillow Fight Day — Worldwide
Tens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013. From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly.

【题目】Although honey is a natural food with many health benefits, you should avoid giving it to your child until they are a year old. This is because there’s a small chance that it could contain a bacterium (细菌), which can result in infant botulism (婴儿型肉毒中毒): a serious form of food poisoning.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible for manufacturers to destroy the bacteria without cooking the honey, which makes the sweet matter unsuitable for babies under one. Although the British Honey Importers and Packers Association advises its members to print on honey labels that it’s not suitable for babies under 12 months, all products will not carry the warning. So it’s up to you to remember not to add honey to your baby’s food.

Although you may feel your baby’s food could do with a spoonful of honey for sweetness, it’s a good idea to avoid giving her too many sugary tastes. Offering too many sweet foods could mean that your baby develops a sweet tooth.

If, however, adding sweetness to certain foods will help. There are plenty of alternatives to honey. Try low-sugar jams on fingers of toast or in sandwiches. You can also sweeten the flavor of sharp or sour fruit such as rhubarb (大黄) by adding jams like apples or pears.

Once your baby is over a year old, it’s safe to introduce honey. By this time, a child’s intestines (肠) have grown enough to process the dangerous bacteria without allowing it to grow. However, because honey is a type of sugar, nutritionists still advise you should limit the amount to avoid problems as to tooth later on.

【1】Why should we avoid giving honey to a baby?

A. Because too much honey will ruin the baby’s teeth.

B. Because a bacterium can cause food poisoning.

C. Because honey can make babies lack appetite.

D. Because honey will lead t0 infant depression.

【2】From the second paragraph we can infer that .

A. honey manufacturers will remove the bacteria by cooking

B. every honey product will carry a label in the market

C. some products will carry a label while in the market

D. parents can accuse manufacturers of their products

【3】The underlined sentence in the passage means that .

A. we have no choice except honey

B. we have many choices apart from honey

C. we can choose honey and other things

D. we can’t choose honey or other things

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
（1）It can be learned from the passage that stars today___________.
A.are often misunderstood by the public

B.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

【题目】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 be 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 toward the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?

A. Disapproving. B. Tolerant.

C. Doubtful. D. Mixed.

【2】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.

【3】What would be the best title for the text?

A. Why People Love Coffee? B. How Coffee Affects Health?

C. The Culture of Coffee Drinking. D. The New Findings of Heart Disease.
