It took place at the Biltmore Hotel, which, to my eight-year-old mind, was just about the fancies place to eat．My , my mother, and I were having lunch after a morning spent shopping．I ordered a Salisbury steak．When brought to the table, it was by a plate of peas．I do not like peas now．I did not like peas then．I have always hated peas．And I was not about to eat them now．"Eat your peas," my grandmother said．

"Mother," said my mother in her voice．"He doesn't like peas．Leave him alone."

My grandmother did not reply．She in my direction, looked at me in the eye, and said the words that changed my life: "I'll pay you five dollars if you eat those peas."

I had absolutely no idea of the coming ． I only knew that five dollars was an enormous, nearly amount of money, and as awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the of that five dollars．I began to force the terrible things down my ．

My mother was very angry．My grandmother had that look of someone who has thrown down an unbeatable trump card（王牌）．"I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can't stop me." My mother glared at her mother．She glared at me.

I, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat．The made me nervous, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of that five dollars before me, and I finally swallowed down every last one of them．My grandmother handed me the five dollars in a（n） way．My mother continued to glare in silence．And the ended．Or so I thought．

My grandmother left for Aunt Lillian's a few weeks later．That night, at dinner, my mother served my favorite foods．Along with them came a big, steaming bowl of peas．She offered me some peas, and I certainly ．My mother fixed me with a cold as she put a huge pile of peas onto my plate．Then came the words that were to me for years．

"You ate them for ," she said．"You can eat them for love."

What possible argument could I gather against that? There was none．I ate them that day and every other time they were thereafter．

Plastic is everywhere because plastic is an extremely useful material．It is cheap, strong and lightweight．What’s more, it can take on nearly any form or shape, from soft and stretchy （有彈性的） to hard and glasslike.

Plastic, however, is far from perfect．It may even be bad for us．Studies now suggest that poisonous chemicals can get out of some types of plastic, get into our bodies, and cause a variety of health problems, including cancer, birth defects and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （注意缺陷障礙）.

Two types of chemicals in particular have raised special concern lately．They are called phthalates （鄰苯二甲酸鹽） and Bisphenol-A （二酚基丙烷）, BPA for short． Not all plastic products contain them．But the ones that do are surrounded by controversy （爭(zhēng)議）．That’s because experts disagree on how dangerous these chemicals are.

Plastic is a single word, but plastic isn’t just one thing．What all plastics share in common are plasticizers -- special chemicals that allow the material to be changed into nearly any shape or texture．Plasticizers （塑化劑） are added to plastic during the manufacturing process.

Phthalates and BPA are two types of plasticizers that work in different ways．Phthalates add softness to things like shampoo bottles, raincoats and rubber．They are also used in perfumes and makeup．BPA, on the other hand, gives a hard, clear, almost glasslike feel to products such as infant bottles．BPA also appears in food and soda cans, DVDs and other unexpected places.

How do these chemicals get into us? When plastic is heated in the microwave or dishwasher, chewed on or scratched, the chemicals can seep （滲透） out of the plastic．Even though we can’t see them, we eat them, drink them and breathe them in.

Scientists and parents are especially worried about young children, who tend to chew on everything, including plastic．Dozens of countries, including the European Union, Japan, Canada and Mexico have already banned phthalates from products made for children younger than three．California and Washington have done the same．And a number of other states are considering similar rules．As for BPA, Canada became the first country to ban the chemical from baby bottles．A dozen states are considering it.

1.What can we know about the plastic from the first paragraph?

A．Its characters and effects． B．Its wide use and bad points.

C．Its importance and chemicals． D．Its popularity and advantages.

2.Which of the following products contains BPA?

A．A soft plastic cup． B．A pencil eraser.

C．A baby milk bottle． D．A new perfume.

3.Phthalates and BPA can get into us __________．

A．through mouth or nose

B．through blood transfusion

C．by feeling plastic products

D．by heating in the microwave

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A．A new ban on plastic products．

B．Problems caused by the plastic．

C．Good points of the plastic．

D．The use of plasticizers.

It is reported that thirty cellphones taken away by teachers during the examination and were smashed (銷毀) in front of students and parents at a high school. As to this, we hold a heated discussion. There are two different viewpoints about them.

Some think it necessarily. Firstly, with cellphones, students would have focused their attention on studying instead of wasting their precious time reading junk message. Secondly, the examination will be fair if no one cheats using cellphones. However, the others think it otherwise. For one thing, at the age of information, cellphones have become a necessity. For another, students can use cellphones for study.

Personally spoken, even if some students use cellphones for no good reason, we should educate them more than destroy cellphones in such an extreme way.
