Posted on 13 October by Selina
I started making some of my own clothes last December and I'm really enjoying it. My mum first got me interested in it because she makes a lot of her own things.
I started off by designing （设计）something quite simple 一a T-shirt. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, and it took me quite a long time. I was pleased by my work, though, and I enjoyed making it.
In fact, I liked it so much that I decided to study how to make clothes at college. I signed up for a course （报名课程）earlier this year and started on the first day of July. On the course, I learned all about making trousers and skirts and we're going to start looking at jackets quite soon.
It is great, and I saved plenty of money, as I buy fewer clothes now.
19. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. Whom the writer's mother made a lot of things for.
B. Where the writer learned to make her own clothes.
C. When and why the writer started making clothes.
D. Who found the writer had talents in making clothes.
20. Why did Selina design a T-shirt at first?
A. She thought making a T-shirt was not difficult.
B. She wanted to make a T-shirt for Mum.
C. She didn't have enough money to buy a T-shirt.
D. Her T-shirt was too small for her to wear.
21. When did the writer most probably sign up for the course?
A. In March.
B. In July.
C. In October.
D. In December.
22. What will the writer learn from the course soon?

B. How to make trousers.
C. How to make jackets.
D. How to make skirts.

Now I'm going to show you how to work with chocolate, ril do it in a "bain-marie,"
or, well, some people call it "water bath." I myself love the name "bain-marie." To make
a "bain-marie," you need two pots, one bigger than the other.
First, break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in the smaller pot. Usually when making chocolate desserts （甜品），you'll need to mix chocolate with butter and
sugar. So if you do, put them in the pot too.
Now, half fill the bigger pot with warm water. Put the smaller pot over
the bigger one, and start to slowly mix the chocolate, the butter, and the sugar together.
Keep the water under 50°C, or the chocolate may not look good. And make sure that no
water goes in the smaller pot, or the chocolate will become hard and cannot be used.
Keep mixing for about five to ten minutes, and the job is done. Easy, right?
23. What does the underlined word "them" mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Bains-marie.
B. Butter and sugar.
C. Chocolate desserts.
D. Small pieces of chocolate.
24. From the reading, which picture best shows the "bain-marie" way of working with chocolate?
25. From the reading, which is true about working with chocolate?
A. It is better to use a "bain-marie" than a 'Water bath."
B. The water in the pot should not be warmer than 50°
C.
C. Chocolate will easily become hard if we put it in a small pot.
D. We should not mix butter and sugar together at the same time.
26. Who may find this passage most useful?
A. Lily. She expects to know more about different tastes of desserts.
B. Jane. She wants to know how to take a warm bath in five minutes.
C. Tony. He plans to give up junk food and go on a diet to get thinner.
D. Mark. He hopes to learn to make quick and easy desserts for his son.
D
For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best
way to start a day. But a report from Asap Science says otherwise. It says
the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our
bodies start to make cortisol（皮质醇）.
Cortisol helps us to think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: our bodies will make less cortisol, and
the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that’s why some of us drink more and more coffee. Then, when's the best time to have coffee? When the cortisol levels are going down, the report says. Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.
What do you think?
27. Which idea is talked about in the news?
A. How often we should drink coffee.
B. What happens when we have too much coffee.
C. How to help the body make the cortisol we need.
D. What happens when we have coffee at the wrong-time.
28. What does it mean when someone thinks otherwise about something?
A. They are serious about it.
B. They have no idea about it.
C. They think differently about it.
D. They do not think it is a problem.
29. The picture below shows how the cortisol levels rise and fall during the day. From the news, which is a good time for coffee?
A. A.
B. B.
C. C.
D. D.
30. Four people read the news and wrote what they thought about it. What did they think about the news?
A. They wanted to try what it said.
B. They were sad about what it said.
C. They did not agree with what it said.
D. They were not surprised at what it said.

Hello, everyone! It is my great honor to be here to share with you the results of the survey about Chinese students’ favorite TV shows.
Compared with soap operas, game shows, sport shows and talent shows, the most popular TV shows among Chinese students are talk shows. When it comes to the reasons why they like talk shows, some students said that it was a good way of relaxing and could hugely relieve our strains. Others believed that they could gain some knowledge and learn from different performers. That’s all! Thank you for listening!。
