(2015·山东泰安期末)Children who read for pleasure at the age of 10 have far higher vocabulary scores by the age of 42.
Researchers at the Institute of Education(IOE)have found that the most crazy childhood readers score far higher on vocabulary tests 30 years later. The new study suggests that children who read for pleasure carry the intellectual(智力的)benefits with them far into adulthood.
“The long－term influence of reading for pleasure on vocabulary that we have identified may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read throughout their twenties and thirties，”says lead author Professor Alice Sullivan at the IOE. Researchers followed 9，400 British people from the age of 10 up to 42. Their vocabulary was tested using a simple quiz which asked participants to match up words to the most similar meaning.
Those who had regularly read for pleasure at 10 scored 67 percent in the age 42 vocabulary test, while infrequent childhood readers scored only 51 percent.
The IOE study also found that what people chose to read as adults mattered as much as how often they read.The greatest improvements between ages 16 and 42 were made by readers of “elegant” fictions such as Booker Prize winning novels.And they found that readers of quality newspapers，including online versions, made more progress in vocabulary throughout their lives than those who read tabloids．
In addition，generally speaking，the adult readers who especially read broadsheets(宽幅印刷
品)scored 76 percent on the assessment compared to 57 percent amongst those who didn't.
4. Why did frequent childhood readers have higher vocabulary scores?
A. Because they are born intelligent.
B. Because they formed the consistent reading habit.
C. Because they were crazy about pleasure.
D. Because they had a comfortable childhood.
5. What may not affect the adult readers' vocabulary scores?
A. The contents of reading.

Food festivals around the world
(2015·福建卷) 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 a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50－metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). 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 festival isn't for 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 battle 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 casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little 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!

(2015·哈尔滨期末)Pilling a cat can be a “terrible” experience. Cats don't want something pushed down their throats, and they'll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it's amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won't eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat's mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you're right－handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger(扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don't feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat's head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
12. Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ________．
A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B. may fight with all their strength against pills
C. refuse something pressed down their throats
D. are difficult to treat once they've got ill
