Brains as food was invented more than 300 years ago by Fu Shan, an artist whose mother had been ill for a long time. To help her become well again, he studied medicine and invented a kind of soup made of meat, vegetables and a number of Chinese medicines.

Rice wine (酒) was also used in the soup to help treat illnesses caused by old age. After taking the soup his mother got better little by little and lived a long life.

Fu's soup became the talk of the town. Many people came to see him. One day a restaurant owner asked him what was in the soup. “I'll tell you，” Fu said. “But if your restaurant is going to sell the soup, you must call it brains because of its shape and colour. And your restaurant should be renamed after my mother.”

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques(技巧) to improve their reading skills.

“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading t o them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”

George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable(有价值的) thing parents can do.

“It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics(拼读法), comprehension(阅读理解) and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.

Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy----television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joiners said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.

Parents who do not read themselves should not depend on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in s chool. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.

1. The underlined word “distraction” means something that.

A. can improve children’s reading.

B. can make children interested

C. can make children not pay their attention

D. can help children’s right way of reading

4. Which one would be the best title for the passage?

A. Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.

B. How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.

C. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.

D. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.

We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.

At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it,
