China is a noodle paradise (天堂). The home of wheaten food (面食) across the world is China, and the home of wheaten food in China is Shanxi Province. As an American student, my first experience with noodles was in Shanxi when I was an exchange (交换) student.

Everyone knows noodles are the king of Shanxi food. There are more than 100 ways to make noodles. Among them, my favorite is the knife-cut noodles. The knife-cut noodles are one of the top five noodles in China, with the other four being Hubei’s hot-dry noodles, Sichuan’s Dan Dan noodles, Beijing’s fried sauce noodles and Shandong’s Yifu noodles.

Once in a restaurant, I ordered knife-cut noodles and I was lucky to see how the cook made them from the window of the kitchen. I felt really surprised to see the cook shave (削) the noodles so quickly! When I tasted the noodles for the first time, I felt super glad.

When I first learned to make knife-cut noodles, the more I practiced, the harder it seemed. But later, when I got the angle (角度) right, it became a lot easier. In fact, you need a lot of skills if you want to cook them. The first thing you need to do is to make a dough (面团). After that, let your dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Then cut the noodles by running the knife up and down. The most difficult part is getting the right angle between the knife and noodles. Finally, let them cook in the hot water for 5 minutes. The reason why people like knife-cut noodles is that they have a special taste. Also, it is an art form that takes years of practice.

19. Where are hot-dry noodles from?

A．Shanxi.

B．Sichuan.

C．Hubei.

20. How did the writer feel when he first tasted knife-cut noodles?

A．Surprised.

B．Glad.

C．Upset.

21. What do we know about the writer?

A．He is a Chinese student who studies in America.

B．Among all noodles, knife-cut noodles are his favorite.

C．It was easy for him to learn how to cook knife-cut noodles.

22. How do we make knife-cut noodles?
① Cook the noodles in the hot water for 5 minutes.
② Let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
③ Cut the noodles by running the knife up and down.
④ Make a dough.

A．④②③①

B．④②①③

C．④①③②

23. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A．Shanxi is a good place for noodle lovers from all over the world.

B．Knife-cut noodles are not only food but also a symbol of the art form.

C．In every place of China, you can eat a bowl of knife-cut noodles.

Mark Twain once said, “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” The famous writer talked about a problem many of us have. The problem is procrastination (拖延症). When procrastination becomes a habit, it can make our lives terrible.     24    

Make daily “to do” lists.

Before your day ends, make a plan for tomorrow. Begin each new day with a clear start.     25     It can tell you what you need to do first and then.

Break large tasks into small ones.

    26     You may feel it’s impossible before beginning. So do every project in small steps. Begin by breaking up your task into smaller parts and finish one part at one time.

    27    

If your workplace is untidy, full of things, you’ll need to make some changes. You may need to take away your phone or TV.

Follow the five-minute rule.

The hardest part about any task is getting started.     28     One solution to this problem is to start working on it for only five minutes. Then decide whether or not to continue. Surprisingly, once you begin, you may be able to keep going and finish the task.

A．Always keep your plan with you.

B．Remember to have a good habit.

C．Change your working environment.

D．However, everyone can take a few steps to improve now!

E．If a task looks too big, it can stop you from getting started.

F．That’s why so many people don’t begin their work until the last minute.
