A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish(愚蠢), it is really a good way of finding out the truth. A man who is worried has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because of his worriment, he loses his appetite and doesn’t want to eat.

【推荐3】China has fewer very overweight people compared to many other countries worldwide. The reason behind this is the traditional Chinese diet which is known for its health benefits. Let’s explore what makes the Chinese diet so good for health.
A traditional Chinese diet is heavy on vegetables. The Chinese enjoy filling their plates with fresh and healthy vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli, and green beans. These vegetables are good for the body and can even help in fighting cancer. Moreover, vegetables are low in calories (卡路里). That means they are one of the best choices for managing the calories you take in at a meal.
Unlike some other countries, Chinese meals do not usually end with a high-calorie dessert. Sometimes, at the end of a Chinese meal, a sweet soup, like red bean or tofu soup, may be served. However, these soups are usually much lower in calories compared to desserts like cakes or ice cream, even though they have some sugar.
The choice of drinks also plays a role in weight control. In many other countries, sugary cola drinks and energy drinks are popular. However, in China, people have been drinking tea for more than 3,000 years, and they usually enjoy it all day long. Drinking tea can help burn extra (多余的) calories and can also provide protection against certain diseases.
Additionally, the Chinese don’t eat as much fast food as people in some other countries. This results in a lower intake of fat. In countries like America, the serving sizes in restaurants are usually larger than usual. This leads to people eating far more calories than they need. In China, however, people usually eat smaller-sized dishes, which are often shared with others.
All these points add up to the traditional Chinese diet being a healthy one. Lots of fresh vegetables, fewer desserts, a love for tea, and smaller-sized dishes all help people to stay slim and healthy.
1. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?| A．Sweet soups. | B．Chinese meals. | C．Western meals. | D．High-calorie desserts. |
| A．Tea is popular around the world. | B．Chinese people prefer tea to energy drinks. |
| C．Americans also like drinking tea nowadays. | D．Energy drinks can help control people’s weight. |

【推荐1】More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 100 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit（受益） from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.
Folding（折叠）bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be put in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.
Health Benefits of Bicycling:

【推荐2】The COVID-19 pandemic has made our lives very different. Some of us have had better hygiene(卫生) habits. Others have learned how to cook. And more people have fallen in love with cycling(骑自行车).
Yang Xiaomeng lives 11 km away from her workplace in Beijing. She has been cycling to work for the last three months. "I used to take the subway before the COVID-19 outbreak. But now riding a bike seems to be a safer choice(选择)," she said.

"There's more fresh(新鲜的) air on the road. It's also a good way to stay fit. I'll keep cycling as my new habit," she said.
According to Xinhua, many people turned from public transportation(交通) to cycling during the pandemic. The number of cyclists on Beijing's bike-only lane(车道) from Huilongguan to Shangdi has gone up by 17.6 percent, for example.
In other cities around the world, biking is also becoming more popular. London has closed large parts of the city to cars so that people can cycle safely. New York, Berlin and Montreal have built new, wider bike lanes for people to cycle. These cities believe that if there are safer and more comfortable (舒适的) places for cycling, more people will ride bikes in the future instead of driving.

【推荐3】During the cold winter, we usually catch a cold, have a fever or a cough. There are some common and great ways that you can follow to keep yourself away from these problems.
Never leave your house without warm clothes. It might be sunny in the morning or daytime but it is getting colder as the sun sets. So make sure you have a sweater or a coat for the colder night.
Don’t walk without shoes in your house. We have a habit of staying bare feet at home. The cold passes from feet to head in no time and that is why we need to wear shoes to stay away from the cold.
Drinking ginger tea helps your body get warm during the colder days. Drinking green tea keeps your body healthy and solves many health problems. Green tea is even good for those who want to get thinner.
Still if you catch a cold, do not let the cold build up in your body. It’s better to take quick action against the cold through proper exercise. Do some warm-up exercise in the morning or rub （摩擦）your hands quickly. Jogging（慢跑）or yoga also helps your body become warm to stay away from the cold and fever.

【推荐1】“When side by side two rabbits go, who can tell the buck (雄兔) from the doe (雌兔)?” China’s Yang Jingru and Li Jinzi “played the buck and the doe” in the women’s 1,500m short track speed skating (短道速滑) event of the Winter Youth Olympic Games on Jan 20th, 2024.
They used the classic “rabbit strategy ( 策略) ”. The key of the “rabbit strategy” is teamwork of two skaters. One skater nuns very fast from the start, while the other stays behind. This is different from the usual 1,500m speed skating strategy of keeping the same speed and then speeding up in the last few turns.
Using the “rabbit strategy”, after the first turn, Yang suddenly skated at full speed. She ran one turn faster than the other skaters and stayed at the back of the group all the time, but nobody noticed it.
Working with Yang, Li changed between the front and the back in the first half of the race. This made the other skaters wonder who was the “leading rabbit”. In fact, when the bell rang and showed that there was only one turn to go, everyone had tvo turns left except Yang. As a result, Yang and Li rushed the finish line successfully while others were getting into a mess.
The two Chinese short track speed players cleverly use the “rabbit strategy”. They won both gold and silver medals, making it a victory at the Winter Youth Olympics.

【推荐2】What’s the first thing that you notice when you walk into your favorite restaurant? Is it the smell of fresh pizza, or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about sound? Is that important?
Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when your ears hear different sounds, but it has to be the right kind of sound. When you turn on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think “That sounds tasty!”? Not really, you probably think it’s nearly ready. But when smell it, you go to get the salt and the butter. Hearing the popcorn make you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what are the sounds to change the tastes of the things?
In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while they were eating. Did it make a difference? Yes, it did. Listening to the seaside seemed to improve the taste of the food. It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are going to be useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will try to use fewer unhealthy things, like salt and sugar in food. With the right music or sounds, perhaps we won’t taste the difference.
Restaurants are also setting a connection between food and the sound that the packet(包装袋) makes. Pick up a packet of your favorite potato chips, what does it sound like? One restaurant recently changed the material that they used to make their potato chip packets because experiments show that the packet which makes a right sound will make customers think the potato chips are fresher. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you don’t like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them.
1. According to the passage, what makes you think the popcorn tastes delicious?| A．Turning on the microwave. | B．Smelling the popcorn in the microwave. |
| C．Hearing the popcorn. | D．Taking the popcorn out of the microwave. |
| A．The sounds of the seaside made the food taste better. | B．The customers didn’t like the food. |
| C．The music changed the food. | D．The customers preferred the sounds of the farm animals. |
| A．Because customers want it to sound and look right. |
| B．Because customers enjoy looking at the different materials. |
| C．Because customers think the food is good if it makes the right sound. |
| D．Because customers don’t like noisy packets. |
| A．sounds make a difference to the taste of food |
| B．the smell of food makes a difference to the taste of food |

The food in Britain is very different from our Chinese food. For example, they eat a lot of potatoes. They like to eat them every day. They eat bread for breakfast and usually for one other meal. They eat their bread with butter, maybe cheese or jam, things we don’t eat much in China. Cheese and butter are made from milk. They drink a lot of milk, too. They drink the milk cold or hot, and they put it in their tea. They put sugar in their tea, as well. They are the world’s biggest tea drinkers. They like Chinese tea, but they drink mostly strong black tea from India and Sri Lanka（斯里兰卡）. They don’t eat much rice. For their main meal, they like meat or fish with potatoes and one or two vegetables. They serve all these together. After the main meal, they always have something sweet. They call this dessert（甜点心）. They don’t have dumplings in Britain.
