Eating with normal chopsticks is common, but Japanese researchers came up with something very unique. Scientists in Japan have developed electric chopsticks that are used to help people cut down on salt. The special chopsticks use a tiny bit of electricity to make food taste like it has more salt.

Though human bodies need salt, many people eat far too much of it. We put it on our lunches, dinners, and everything in between. While a little bit of salt is tasty, too much can be harmful. The most common illness connected to eating too much salt is high blood pressure. Moreover, according to the WHO, a surprising number of 2.5 million people may not die each year if each person in the world eats less than five grams daily.

This research, carried out by the scientists at Meiji University and Kirin, which sells food and drinks, may help many people live a low salt life without sacrificing (牺牲) taste. The chopsticks work with a mini-computer that can be worn on the hand. When the chopsticks are put in the mouth, there is a tiny bit of electricity. The electricity is too small to be felt, but it can change the way the tongue tastes certain things.

This research showed that with the chopsticks, food could have up to 30% less salt and still taste just as salty. So far Kirin hasn’t planned to sell the chopsticks. But it is looking into ways the technology could be used with other eating tools, including spoons.

26. What does the underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Strange.

B．Funny.

C．Special.

D．Necessary

27. What does the number in Paragraph 2 tell us?

A．Many people die each year because of illnesses.

B．Too much salt is very harmful to people’s health.

C．The WHO worries about how much people eat.

D．The population of the world is too large.

28. The electricity created by the chopsticks is ________.

A．to sacrifice your taste

B．to start the mini-computer

C．to make it be felt by people’s mouth

D．to change how the tongue tastes salt

29. What may scientists later research on?

A．How to better sell the chopsticks.

B．How too much salt causes health problems.

C．How to cut down more salt in people’s life.

D．How to use the technology with spoons.

30. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Chopsticks Used by Japanese People

B．Cutting Down on Salt with Electric Chopsticks

C．Bad Influence from Eating Too Much Salt

D．Improving People’s Eating Habits

A new curriculum standard（课程标准）for labor（劳动）education has come out recently. Students have to take labor lessons, including everyday chores, productive（生产的）labor and services. These lessons are to develop students’ hard-working spirit and important living skills.

Students in the third and fourth grades should clean their classrooms, wash their underwear, socks and shoes, and know how to make cold dishes and use home appliances（家用电器）. Students in the fifth and sixth grades should learn skills of cooking two or three common dishes, such as fried eggs.

Middle school students are encouraged to cook three or four dishes independently. Moreover, they should learn how to make traditional art works. Social service or volunteer work is also needed.
