3 . There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.

However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.

Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.

Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.

However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.

Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.

“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.”

1. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria?

A．Below 40 degrees F.	B．Between 39～40 degrees F.
C．Between 41～135 degrees F.	D．Above 135 degrees F.

2. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge?

C．Worried.

D．Unconcerned.

3. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers?

A．Dividing them into small parts.

B．Storing them in the fridge right away.

C．Waiting until they cool down completely outside.

D．Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．When to Pack up Leftovers.	B．How to Prevent Bacterial Growth
C．To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge	D．A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge

When Jessica and her husband Edward welcomed their first child, they quickly understood that parenting would not be easy. Edward owned a textile(纺织品) business in Texas，but it was struggling. With a baby at home now, expenses went up, while income stayed the same or even went down in some months.There was constantly a lack of money.

Luckily, Edward's business grew slowly, and Jessica managed to save some money. But just when it appeared that they would be having a less stressful month, another problem knocked at their door : the washing machine broke down again.

After considering her options, Jessica realized that there was no point in getting the machine repaired. Jessica sat down to search online for a machine that she could afford. An hour of searching led her to one good find, but it cost $250, and Jessica could only afford to pay $150. In the end, she decided to see the owner James in person.

Upon arrival，a man opened the door.There was sadness in his eyes.“ How may I help you? ” he asked. “ Hi! I’m Jessica. I messaged you regarding the washing machine. Can I have a look at it? ”“Oh，sure. Come in,” James said. It seemed that the man was planning to move away.

“ Well, I hope you remember I said I wanted to talk about the price，” Jessica said embarrassedly.“I can't extend my budget beyond $150. We just had a baby, and you know things are not so well financially, so I am wondering if you could give me a discount?”

James stood there silently for a while. The woman’s sincere request made him think about his wife again，who had just passed away. He remembered she once told him that if he had the resources，he should help those who are less fortunate.Then he nodded his head in agreement.“Sure. $150 sounds like a good deal to me，” he said. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise.“Really? You are so nice. Thank you so much!”

Paragraph 1:

As Jessica entered the room, she saw the white machine.

7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was angry about my father in the first year of college, because he didn’t care about my feelings all.

One day I had a serious quarrel with him. I was fed up with his direction and correction. How could he interfere with my life and my study plans? How could he understand the importance of my university activities? The only thing that he cared about was my academic performance! He didn’t understand my world and I didn’t understand his, either.

I stormed out and sighed all the way to school. Suddenly I realized that I didn’t have the assignment that was due: a thought card. This class was taught by Dr. Sidney B. Simon. The thought card was the admission ticket to his class. He would return them to us with his comment.

My first thought card read, “All that glitters(发光) is not gold.” He commented, “What does this quote mean to you? Is it significant?” Obviously, he was taking it seriously. I surely didn’t want to reveal myself to him.

The week progressed. Dr. Simon’s class was quite brilliant. He challenged us to think and come up with our own responses. But I had no handling strategies to deal with it.

The second Tuesday came. I wrote on my card, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” The next day the card came back: “You seem to need a listener. Is this important to your life?” I couldn’t remember a teacher caring personally about me since primary school.

With all these memories filling my mind, I raced to class. Just outside the door, I took a card and wrote, “I have the most terrible Dad of the world!” Then I dashed in. Looking up at me, he reached out for the card, and I took my seat. The moment I sat down, I felt terrible. I didn’t mean to let that out. That night I had difficiulty sleeping. What if he contacted my dad?
