Good reading tips:
Try to read at the right level（水平）. Read something that you can （more or less）understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because
you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. For example, 21st Century Teens. It is easy enough for you to understand it. There is something interesting in it.

7．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的（A、B、C和D）四个选项中选出最佳选项。

What's the first thing that you notice when you walk into your favorite restaurant? Is it the smell of fresh pizza, or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about sound? Is that important, too?
Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when your ears hear different sounds, but it has to be right kind of sound. When you turn on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think, "That sounds tasty!"?Not really, you probably think it's nearly ready. But when you smell it, you go to get the salt and the butter. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what arc the sounds to change the tastes
of the things?
In an experiment（实验）in a fish restaurant, customers（顾客）listened to the sound of the seaside while they ate. Did it make a difference? Yes, it did Listening to the sea seemed to improve the taste of the food. It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are going to be useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will try to use fewer unhealthy things, like salt and sugar in food With the right music or sounds, perhaps we won't taste the difference.
Restaurants are also beginning to set a connection（联系）between food and the sound that the packet（包装袋）makes. Pick up a packet of your favorite potato chips, what does it sound like? One restaurant recently changed the material（材料）that they used to make their potato chip packets because experiments show that the packet which makes a right noise will make customers think the potato chips are fresher. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you don't like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them.
（1）According to the passage, what do you do when popcorn makes noise in the microwave?
A. You plan what you will put on it.
B. You start to smell it.
C. You take it out of the microwave.
D. You begin to imagine the taste of it.
（2）What does the word "improve" in Paragraph 3 mean in tile third paragraph?
A. Make something better.
B. Make something worse.
C. Make something useful.
D. Make something bigger.
（3）Why is the material of the food bag important?
A. Customers want it to sound and look right.
B. Customers enjoy looking at the different materials.
C. Customers think the food is good if it makes the right sound.
D. Customers don't like noisy packet.
（4）The writer wrote the passage .
A. to find out if people like pizza
B. to explain how sound can change the tastes of food
C. to tell different tastes and smells of food
D. to make people eat more green vegetables
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】【分析】主要讲了声音可以改变东西的味道。

They bring rain from the sea. There is not much rain on the west side. The southeastern part of Australia has summer rain from the southeast winds. They only blow here in summer.
