【題目】B

Blindsided

In many ways, Natalie O’Reilly is a typical 14-year-old girl. But Natalie will lose her sight within a few short months.

Natalie is sent to school for the blind to learn skills such as Braille(盲文). Outwardly, she does as she’s told; inwardly, she hopes for a miracle(奇跡) that will free her from a fearful life of blindness. But the miracle does not come. Will she go home to live scared? Or will she master the skills she needs to make it in a world without sight?

Crossing the Tracks

At 15, Iris seems to have no home, no family, no direction.

After her mother’s early death, Iris’s father focuses on big plans for his new shoes stores and his latest girlfriend, and has no time for his daughter. Unknown to her, he hires Iris out as housekeeper and companion for a country doctor’s elderly mother.

Iris is buoyed by the warmth and understanding the doctor and his mother show her, but just as she starts to break out of her trouble, a disaster strikes. Iris must find the courage to discover if she is really as helpless — or as hopeless — as she once believed.

The Education of Bet

Will and Bet were brother and sister. Being a girl, Bet’s world is contained within the walls of their grand home. Will is allowed — forced — to go to school.

So Bet comes up with a plan: They’ll switch places. She’ll go to school as Will. Will can then live as he chooses. But once Bet gets to school, she soon realizes living as a boy is going to be much more difficult than she imagined.

There is a belief that good habits result from resisting temptation．Enough examples can be found to illustrate the point of view．To begin with, eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat is a wonderful healthy habit．Of course, you would have to refuse a variety of delicious snack and junk food．Also, excellent habit of reading classic literature in a regular basis is another case in point．But you would definitely have to spend more time on your favorite TV programs or fascinating computer games．

Developing good habits, without any doubt, involve great perseverance and determination to stand against various temptations around us．It is not easy to do so．However, as we all know it, good habits are benefit to our lives and learning．Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, it's worth to develop great habits at the cost of resisting temptation．

【題目】Can you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd 1ike to do．so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a program me to safeguard the future of chocolate!

The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties．They must be quarantined(隔離檢疫)before they can be grown．Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4．4 million tons last year but about 30％of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases．Now we don’t want that，do we?

Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem．

The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London．And it has improved its facilities．The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material．”

The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions．After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries，including several in West Africa．That’s where 75％of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from．The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people.

Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection．And more of us seem to count on them now．

The scientist says，“there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates．”

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. Safeguarding cocoa seeds．

B. Planting cocoa worldwide．

C. Keeping cocoa in greenhouse．

D. Finding the new market for cocoa．

【2】The institution’s cocoa project is to_______．

A. have cocoa skin removed

B. offer more jobs to people

C. ensure the quality of cocoa

D. supply cocoa for two million people

【3】What does the last paragraph tell us?

A. The taste of chocolates is changing．

B. Demand for cocoa is increasing fast．

C. People are concerned about cocoa varieties．

D. Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates．

【4】What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To educate． B. To advertise．

C. To warn． D. To inform．
