I believe that my country,Poland,is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important.When we were little children,we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing.It’s not so common nowadays to treat food that way,since you hardly ever bake your own bread.Besides,everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them!But though we no longer make our food from scratch(起点),some customs have been kept—that’s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!

Many people of our nation are still working as farmers,eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more.It’s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place.In most homes in Poland,especially those of farmers,the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely difficult now,but so rewarding(值得)!You can share other members’ troubles and successes,give your children some attention,or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly.Furthermore,your body,and stomach in particular will be very grateful(感激) for such a time!

In Poland,a wedding,Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal.Women in the house get together and cook,sometimes for a few days before the event,and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.

You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country.What’s more,almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.

Most rain forests lie close to the equator(赤道),where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine.The warmth of the land heats the air above,causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain.The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year.This wet,warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow,so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round.The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate.They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves.The wet air then forms clouds,which hang over the treetops like smoke.These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts,keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.

Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm,but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls.Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季) begins.Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”.

Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains.It is often called the “cloud forest” because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.

The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees.Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.When the fruits are eaten,the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals’ stomachs and are passed out in their droppings.The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.

The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _______.

A.mild,wet and windy                                      B.hot,rainy and foggy

C.hot,wet and cloudy                                        D.warm,wet and sunny

We can learn from the passage that _______.

A.tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest

B.there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains

C.clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow

D.the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees

According to the passage,_______ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds.

A.animals                     B.droppings                  C.fruits                        D.winds

This passage is most likely to be found in _______.

A.a travel guide                                               B.a story book

C.a technical report                                                 D.a geography book

Host family accommodation,or living with host families,remains popular among language travel students for its unique advantages.These days,host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality,for they still have something to worry about.

Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,cultural communication and cost of living.Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisiton is likely to become faster.Living in host families also has the advantage of students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”,and get to know the local way of life,people and culture.Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive.It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.

The advantages,however,have not prevented host families from worrying.On one hand,some host families are losing their unique selling point.The probelm is that the majority of bosts in big cities,now generally single and young,have less time available for students,but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice.On the other,students’ expectations have risen.They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation,as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.

To get out of the difficult situation,host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service.They are trying to make living conditions better,including broadband Internet service,private bathroom,and access to plenty of hot water for long showers.They are also providing students with structured family activities.

It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.
