Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people
in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in all kinds of strange and
funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre lane （赛道） . On the way, they must not kick or throw their
cheese, or go into their competitors lane’. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese
weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival — The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far
away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy（辛
辣） , but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery
Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered Habanero pepper— officially the hottest pepper in the world — or any one of the thousands of
products that are on show. But one thing’ s for sure—if you don’ t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this isn ’fort you!
La Tomatina —The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world’ s largest
food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato fight as the highlight of the week’ s events. The
early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by throwing
tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts lite more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown
at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make
friends again — and for a much-needed wash!

It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important
assistants in their lives. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic
abilities.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are sored in
smartphone contacts, there s’now no need to dial a umber or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call
someone for help, only to find your phone is not around.
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere
they wan t. People get so dependent on them that when they can’ t use their smartphones, they get lost and anx But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept（无能的）.
People often bury themselves in their smartphones. As we’re too absent-minded by what’s happening in the virtual
（虚构的） some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can ’teven tell whether a person is happy or not.
Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who
had over five hours ’screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were
happy, sad, angry or scared.
The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic
（电子的） products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.
Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents
mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a
mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.
24. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that ________.
A. you are able to turn to others for help
B. others are able to call you anytime and anywhere
C. others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphone
D. you are unable to contact others without your smartphone
25. The experiment shows that without electronic products, one could ________.
A. recognize more facial expressions correctly
B. lose the sense of direction frequently
C. tell different emotions immediately
D. tell more pictures of faces easily
26. Overusing smartphones, people will probably ________.
A. have no sense of numbers
B. fail to find their destination
C. lose face-to-face communication skills
D. weaken their senses of hearing and sight
27. What ’ s the writer ’ s attitude towards electronic products?
A. objective.
B. Critical.
C. Supportive.
D. Optimistic.
C
After being unemployed for a few years, I was looking for something to do in my spare time that would also
help to increase my skills and confidence.
Having previously from depression （丧气） and anxiety, I knew a full-time job would be more of a long term
goal. When I was introduced to V olunteering Matters, I was particularly interested in the handyperson service. I was
a bit nervous though as it was brand new to me. After chatting with the project coordinator. I signed up and went
through some initial training, which was really relaxing and enjoyable.
In February, I took up the role as a handyperson organizer, which means it is my responsibility to speak to older
people who require our service. After that, I assign the job request to the most appropriate volunteers, based on their location and skills. It usually takes about one hour per evening to complete my task.
Having done this role now for six months, I have learned a great deal and am very proud to be a part of this
project. I have seen first-hand how important it is to help older people, who would really struggle without our service. I
really feel that I am doing my bit to help others and give something back. It has helped me to believe in
myself and I have lear ned some new skills, which I didn’ t believe I could ever do, especially my communication, organization and interpersonal skills.
It ’greats to be able to build a relationship with our clients and volunteers and it is also a lot of fun. My
confidence has increased and I absolutely love my volunteer organizer role. Most recently, I have also been helping
the project coordinator with administration tasks and publicity （宣传） work for the service, which means I am
improving my IT knowledge as well. It means a lot that I have received help and support from Volunteering Matters. At the same time, I am helping the organization and its beneficiaries too.

A. To meet new friends.

those who are successful earn fame（名望）and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get
off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being loggers is popular, some young people chose to follow careers that don earn them’ t nece fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for

How to Protect Yourself from Hackers Online

people protect or make it more difficult for hackers to get their information? Here are several tips that can help you
protect against cyber-attacks:

Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at
least eight characters in length. They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet name of

record of your online activities.
Do not use free Wi-Fi
39Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks. These services might
be useful, but they’ re also an easy way for hackers to get everything in your equipment.
Use anti-virus protection
There are many anti-virus services available for users.40Some anti-virus services are even free. They
are a great way to have a professional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers.
A. Be careful while using thumb drive.
B. These services permit users to easily store their passwords and make them safe.
C. Make your password harder to hack.
D. They can offer many different types of computer protection.
E. An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet.
F. Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks.
G. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.
