The grocerystore might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries.
The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate!
Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaveseverything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.
People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can
lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.
It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.
4. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores?
A. Learning to cook foreign dishes.
B. Making friends with local people.
C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.
D. Knowing local people and the country.
5. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3?
A. People's special lifestyles.
B. People's shopping habits.
C. People's environmental awareness.
D. People's packaging methods.
6. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food.
B. Grocery stores are good social places.
C. Grocery stores vary in different countries.
D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions.
7. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
C
I have a memory of being about five years old, picking up a beautiful grilled(烧烤的）cheese sandwich made for me by my hard —working mother and turning it over to see that theother side was burned. Suddenly what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect. Mom had tried to hide that fact from me. There was no question; I ate it anyway without complaining. However, that moment has stuck in my mind for many years. Now, at the age of 43 as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the "academic mother" of hundreds of students every year,I find that I believe inThe Grilled Cheese Principle.Here is what I mean Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy right? But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten, or I have made myself, I realize that most of the grilled cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side. The thing is that although it is a ly easy thing to make, I can also easily lose focus, and before long the sandwich is burned. For my mother, the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to her being distracted. For me,I have tended to burn the first side,but then I more carefully monitor the second side.Either way,the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deserves
So, I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention. When I am multi-tasking, I am doing none of the tasks well. And when I allow myself to be distracted, I am not in the present moment — not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the process
So now, I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention.
8. How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?
A. She ate it with some complaints
B. She showed no interest.
C. She thought it was still perfect
D. She was deeply impressed with it
9. What doesThe Grilled Cheese Principlemean?
A. Even simple things deserve full attention
B. Losing focus makes the sandwich burned
C. Self-made sandwiches are always burned
D. we should make only one sandwich at a time
10. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?
A. Everything cannot be done well without full attention
B. Moms always like to lie to kids when they have done something wrong
C. We can lose focus more easily when we do easy things.
D. Multi-tasking can be an obstacle to the achievement of tasks.
11. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. Nothing is perfect
B. Learn to appreciate the burned sandwiches
C. Devote yourself to one thing at a time.
D. Never do multi-tasks
D
An anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.
Findings from the school-based intervention (介入), which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting tohead offadult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.
Especially during the middle-and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from theUniversityofNewcastleinNew South Wales,Australia. He said, “In the future we need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”
Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas ofNew South Wales. At the start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器) to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the schoolday and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical
activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.
Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”
“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said.
12. The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”.
A. damage
B. defend
C. prevent
D. affect
13. The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________.
A. walking and running
B. inviting them to nutrition workshops
C. joining exercise sessions regularly
D. giving meal replacement drinks
14. The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________.
A. the participants didn’t take an active part in it
B. the program was not interesting and exciting to participants
C. the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise help
D. the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods.
B. Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants.
C. Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet.
D. Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.
