You may have noticed something different when you ate at your favorite restaurant. Or perhaps you picked up on it while looking through your social media apps （社交媒體軟件） . You guessed it ---we’re becoming a foodie （吃貨） culture.

For some, that means photographing every dish, but others are taking it one step further. Sophia Hampton, a senior at Staples High School in US, chooses to make her own food. She has been published in Future Chefs, a cookbook of recipes （食譜） by teens.

Hampton’s best advice for those who want to be foodies is to get in the kitchen.

“Start cooking,” she said. “There are so many resources online, like recipes and articles about food. Go to your local farmers’ market and start cooking with them.

Besides blogs and online resources, there are also hands-on cooking classes for students. The Chopping Block, a Chicago cooking school, offers many different classes for teens, including courses on chocolate and French food.

By attending cooking classes, surfing online and going to restaurants, you can find endless recipes. But sometimes becoming a real foodie means being behind a camera. As our food-loving culture becomes more popular and teen-friendly, social media apps like Facebook, have become major players in food culture.

“Getting involved in foodie culture is as easy as having a camera and a social media app,” one foodie said. “I always go to streets and farmers’ markets to take beautiful pictures of food. Wherever food prices are expensive, the photos are free.”

1.What does Hampton advise those who want to be foodies to do?

A．Post their recipes online.

B．Cook food by themselves.

C．Eat at their favorite restaurant.

D．Take photos of every dish they eat.

2.Where can students find new recipes, according to the article?

①cooking classes ②online resources

③new restaurant ④public libraries

A．①②③ B．①③④

C．②③④ D．①②④

3.What has made foodie culture more popular, according to the article?

A．People’s growing interest in traditional culture.

B．The convenience of getting different food.

C．The use of cameras and social media.

D．The drop in food prices.

To most people, noise pollution is a jet flying over their head. For one Spanish woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano. The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.

In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of. At the trial, Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lives below her. Martin, 27, didn’t admit that she played at home that often, saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.

On the first day of the trial, the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn’t even stand seeing them in a film.

Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”. Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.

She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels (分貝) higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room. The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.

The court hasn’t made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.

1.Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because _______.

A. Martin’s playing the piano damaged her health

B. Bosom suffered from heart attack

C. Martin refused to take regular classes in other towns

D. Martin flew a jet over her head

2.How did Laia Martin respond to the complaints?

A. She stopped playing the piano.

B. She soundproofed the room.

3.Which of the following may probably be the best title for the passage?

A. A 7-year Sentence Caused by the Piano

B. Pianist Charged with Noise Pollution

C. Health Problems of a Spanish Woman

D. Actions Against Noise by Local Authority

Students need enough sports and activities to keep fit and relax, and in some schools students are not giving enough time to do outdoor activities. Teachers ask students to spend most of their time at studies. But if students feel tired, they can’t pay attention to that they’re studying. They will be in a bad health.

Five times in the earth’s history, some three-quarters of all living species disappeared forever-and within a short period of time. Those species losses stand for a major change in the planet’s ecology(生態(tài)學). Clues to these changes can be seen in the fossils(化石)and rock layers.

Today, human activities are driving species to die out at a rate never seen before. And this loss of species really does matter, said Anita Narwani. She works at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. That’s because the diversity(多樣性)of species in an ecosystem provides people with all types of services we can’t do without.

Trees provide oxygen for us to breathe. At the same time, they remove carbon from the air which is a cause of global warming. Plants help clean air and water. Animals move seeds from one area to another. A broad range of living resources also provides people with food, shelter and medicine.

Narwani wanted to find out how important the diversity of species is for people. So she teamed up with other ecologists to review more than 1,700 studies. They found that more diverse parts of the earth tend to do well in things like removing carbon and providing us with wood and other natural resources. They were also better at keeping fisheries large and healthy so that they could feed many people.

Unfortunately, the diversity of species is in steep drop. It is too soon to say that the earth is undergoing a sixth mass extinction, Narwani said. She said a mass extinction means the loss of 75 percent of species over 2 million years or less. We haven’t lost that many – at least not yet. But according to her, if species losses continue so fast, such a mass extinction could occur in just 300 years.

The new findings highlight the potential for humans to use up many of the resources on which we now depend. As people learn more, however, they can take steps to lessen those risks. People should protect ecosystems so that they can continue to provide us with their services.

1.What’s the writer’s purpose in giving the examples in Paragraph 3?

A. To tell us how we get our food and resources.

B. To show the importance of the diversity of species.

C. To tell us the use of each species.

D. To show the writer is very learned.

2.The underlined word “They ” in Paragraph 4 refers to .

A. humans

B. Narwani and her team

C. natural resources

D. various species

3.Narwani and her team found that .

A. many people know the importance of protecting wildlife

B. many species die out because of human activities

C. making good use of natural resources benefits people

D. rich diversity of species greatly benefits people

4. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that .

A. the world’s species are dying out in a very fast rate

B. we’ll lose 75 percent of species on the earth

C. the earth is undergoing a sixth mass extinction

D. a mass extinction of species will occur in 300 years
