【推荐3】As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading. I checked out so many books and returned them so quickly the librarian once snapped, “Don’t take home so many books if you’re not going to read them all.”

“But I did read them all,” I said.

In college, when I created my online dating（约会）profile, in the “ favorite books” section I put One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Fang and so on. But I realized I hadn’t read most of those titles for two years.

David was my first online date. David read about a book or two a week. When we compared libraries, we had only four titles in common.

On our seventh date, David and I visited the library.

“I have a game,” he said, taking out two pens and Post-its（便利贴）. Let’s find books we’ve read and leave reviews in them for the next person. ”

We stayed there for an hour.

Before leaving, I said, “I will tell you something. I’ve only read one book this year. ”

“But you like books, ”he said. “You like bookstores. You like libraries. Read a book!”

Back home, David’ s charge to “read a book” echoed in my head. I bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.

I picked up one. Whenever I wanted to give up on it, I thought of David__________.

“How’s your day?” David texted.

“Good. A little tired, ”I replied. “I stayed up late and finished my book. ”The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.

David suggested we visit the library again. He pulled a book from the shelf, dropped to one knee, and opened it. Inside, his Post-it read:“Karla, it has always been you. Will you marry me? ”

His proposal had rested in the book for over a year.

1. How do the first two paragraphs help develop the story?

A．To show how rude the librarian was.	B．To show Karla was always a reader.
C．To prove Karla just liked borrowing books.	D．To prove it’s better to buy books than borrow books.

2. Which is the correct order of what happened to Karla?
a. She had a game with David.
b. She created her online dating profile.

【推荐1】There’s no pizza on Mars, but scientists have found a solution to this problem for hungry astronauts: a pizza printer! NASA, the American space agency, has developed a machine that “prints” food. They showed a model of the printer in Austin, Texas last month.
How does it work? Cartridges(墨盒) filled with powdered dough(面粉团), cheese, sauce, water and oil put the ingredients layer(层)by layer onto a printer bed. The printer bed, which gets hot from below, cooks the food as it’s being printed.
Since most of the ingredients are powdered, they can be sent into space and stored for many years without going bad. Water makes food go sour, so the food powders are mixed with water and oil only when they are being printed.
“Long-distance space travel requires more than 15 years of shelf life for food.” says Anjan Contractor, whose company developing the printer. “ We take water out, and in that form, food will last maybe 30 years.”
In outer space, there are far fewer choices for astronauts for dinner. Most of their foods—even things like beef or shrimp—are eaten from bags as powders（粉末）. Scientists hope the new food printer can be used to make more delicious food in outer space, keeping astronauts healthier and happier.
But the printer is not limited to use in outer space. Scientists think it could be useful on Earth, too. It could allow personal meals to be made at the dinner table, according to each person’s different needs.
“Let’s say someone is an athlete in the family, and he needs more protein(蛋白质),” says Anjan Contractor, founder of Systems and Materials Research Corp, the company developing the printer. “We can design recipes for him and print out more protein-nutritious food for him.”
1. In outer space, food can be stored for many years without going bad____.

A．when it’s mixed with water

B．when it’s mixed with oil

C．when it’s powdered

D．when it’s put in the fridge

2. Which of the following is TRUE?   ______

A．Astronauts eat beef powder in outer space.

B．A model of the food printer was shown in New York last month.

C．Only astronauts and athletes can eat the food from the printer.

D．The printer can only be used in outer space.

3. What is the best title for this passage?     _______

A．Astronauts’ Life in Outer Space

B．Hungry? Just Print!

C．How to Make Pizza

D．Long Lasting Food

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches(拱形门) of McDonald’s, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.

You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed(沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations.

Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching color, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning, as a result, some traffic signs use this color. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.

The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口). This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colors, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!

“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.

“Nothing … just feeling … blue,” said Amber.

“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A Wii! It’s red-hot.”

Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the Wii and said, “Sounds great!”

1. According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.

A．putting your food in a blue dish or bowl

B．turning on a yellow light during the meal

C．painting the walls of the dining table with an orange cloth

D．covering the dining table with an orange cloth

2. Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.

A．it tells other drivers to prepare to stop	B．it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C．it can easily catch other people’s attention	D．it is the color that most school

3. Which of the following statements is true?

A．Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first.

B．Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.

C．Amber refused to go to Violet’s house in the end.

4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Colors influence people’s daily lives.

B．Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.

5. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A．Amber was not fat at all.

B．Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.

C．Violet didn’t know how colors influenced our lives.

D．Arches of McDonald’s are painted gold only to make them beautiful.

【推荐3】Walter Dean Myers, born on August 12, 1937, was an American writer of children's books.

He was known for young adult literature（文学）. He wrote more than 100 books, including picture books and non-fiction. "I care about writing for young people because I remember how much I needed help and guidance（指导）at that time in my life,”Myers said in his book.

Myers loved writing. He got up at five o'clock every morning. He worked at home in a small office that used to be his son's bedroom.

Myers would first write an outline（提纲）for every book. He called this prewriting. He imagined what the story would be and write down ideas in a notebook. To make sure there are enough actions and dialogue for a good story, he thought of 30 scenes. He wrote a short description of each scene in his notebook.

He also cut out pictures of real people and put them on his office walls. He looked at those pictures and came up with ideas. Once he knew what the story would be and who the characters were, he began to write the book. He wrote five pages a day on his computer.

Myers usually worked on three books at a time. When he was not prewriting or writing a book, he might be rewriting something he had already completed. Then he would send the story to his agent（经纪人）. He or she made suggestions for the story. After these final changes were made, the book was published and made its way to bookstores and libraries.
