Three years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that many apples being served to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash, almost untouched. But unlike others, they wondered if the reason was more complicated than simply that the kids didn’t want the fruit.
They thought the fact that the apples were being whole, rather than sliced (切片的), was doing the fruit no favor. And they wanted to prove this idea.
They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption (消费) jumped by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a follow-up study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further supported. The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced apples reduced by about 50 percent than before.
Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples just make more sense for kids. The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and deal with the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.
Sometimes what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.
4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Lots of apples served to kids were wasted.
B. Researcher supported the lunch program.
C. Apples are not the only acceptable fruit for kids.
D. The lunch program was well worth spreading.
5. What did researchers want to prove?
A. Kid didn’t want the fruits.
B. Kids favored the whole apples.
C. Kids preferred to the sliced apples.
D. Kid’s eating habits influenced fruit consumption.
6. According to the study, we can know________.
A. 14 schools served sliced fruits
B. kids have problems eating the whole apples
C. eating fruits must be healthy for children
D. few kids are missing teeth or have braces
7. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Form matters more than taste.
B. Apples are beneficial to each kid.
C. The way fruit is eaten links kids’ growth.
D. Inconvenience probably makes a difference.
C
A young female athlete in thePhilippinesrecently won many gold medals during a sports meet despite not having proper running shoes. Rhea Ballos, an 11-year-old student ofSalvationElementary Schoolin Balason,Iloilo, wasonly wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.
Facebook user Valenzuela posted pictures of the girl with her feet wrapped in bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word “NIKE” on the sides of her “shoe” to complete the “Nike running shoes” look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track. While she was actually barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her competitors who all more proper footwear intended for running,

Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. Others started getting in touch with the American sports brand, as well as local basketball specialty store Titan 22.
It did not take long for Titan co-founder and Alaska Aces head coach Jeffrey Cariaso to take notice of Ballos' outstanding achievement. Cariaso immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner. The seven-time PBA champion has since talked to the student as well as her coaches in an apparent bid to help her out.

Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss. She went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.
At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met Ms Moore and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.
Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.
Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems that she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's almost painful—like a light that's too
bright.
12. What do we know about Bishop's early life?
A. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.
B. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.
C. She was always encouraged by her parents.
D. She started to write poems at five.
13. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?
A. They have a deep influence on other poets.
B. They offer much information about her life.
C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry.
D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.
14. What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?
A. She liked to write in the morning.
B. She could write poems at high speed.
C. She tried her best to achieve perfection.
D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.
15. Which word can be used to best describe the style of Bishop’s poems?
A. Enthusiastic.
B. Romantic.
C. Humorous.
D. Exact.
