【推荐1】After I come to China, I find one interesting difference between China and the US---the times at which we take our showers(淋浴).

Chinese people often take shower at the end of the day. After a long day of school or work, it’s nice to wash yourself and feel clean before going to bed.

But in the US, we often shower in the morning. An early shower wakes up your body and mind. After that, you feel refresh(清爽的) and ready for work or school.

I like the way people in China do and take showers later in the day. It helps me relax and gives me some time to think to myself about how my day went. It’s a pleasant(愉悦的) way to end the day.

1. Chinese people like to take showers at the end of the day because they can feel________.

A．clean

B．sleepy

C．refresh

D．useful

2. When do people in America usually take showers according to the passage?

C．After dinner.	D．Before going to bed.

3. What’s the underlined word “end” mean(意思)?

B．like

C．finish

D．meet

4. According to the passage, which statement is true?

A．The writer may be a Chinese.

B．The writer comes from America.

C．The writer feels relaxed in the morning.

D．The writer likes to take showers in the morning now.

We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.

So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?

♦ Keep a kitchen diary

All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.

♦ Buy only what we need

We should ask for smaller portions in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.

♦ Develop the habit of packing food

Chinese consumers are generous and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude the food in the order if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.

Don’t put it off! Let’s stop food waste today!

1. Why is our nation being encouraged to stop wasting food?

A．Because there’s enough food for Chinese people.

B．Because Chinese consumers like to try delicious food.

C．Because the number of food wasted by us is growing fast.

【推荐2】One day, a student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the field nearby.

The student turned to the professor and said, “We will hide his shoes, then hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”

“My young friend,” answered the professor, “We should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.

While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he picked up the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around but saw nobody. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. To his surprise, he found another coin.

He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke to his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.

【推荐3】I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall. For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, so I often bent (弯曲) my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bata Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.

My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me "Stand straight and tall, Alisa." I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.

My grandfather grew up in war-torn (战乱的) Europe. "Stand straight, stand tall" meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life, "If they could do it, why couldn't I? "Stand straight, stand tall," he often reminded himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language.

"Stand straight, stand tall," he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather's unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.

"Stand straight, stand tall" has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture (身姿). It also tells me to be proud of who I am.

And I do.

1. Alisa often bent her body because ________.

A．she lived a hard life	B．she was much taller than other girls
C．she always stood at the back of the line	D．she didn't want to enter the 9th grade

A．made her feel unsafe	B．taught her to accept herself
C．changed her attitude (态度) to her grandfather	D．told her his success completely depended on his friends
