.阅读理解ANot so long ago,takeout meant cheap,quick and oily meals.But a recent report has found that people under 35 are now demanding food that’s fresh and healthful—as well as fast.That’s good news for people like Charley Wang,co-founder of community food start-up Josephine.Customers can go to Josephine’s website,choose from a list of home-cooked options,pay online and pick up dinner within minutes of placing their order.“So it’s convenient,”says Renee McGhee,60,who has sold her home-made comfort food o n Josephine.“It’s like,here’s a business in your hand.Run with it!”The company takes 10 percent of cooks’ income in exchange for access to the online ordering platform,community forum and marketing materials.Most of the cooks on Josephine,like McGhee,operate out of their home kitchens.But the company’s most popular meals come from an unexpected place:a middle school.Willard Middle School in Berkeley,Calif.,is in its second year of partnering Josephine to make and sell hundreds of meals on one designated(指定的) day each month—with some adult in charge.Josephine gets the kind of community credibility(可信性) consumers want,while the school gets a cool learning opportunity and a much-needed source of ongoing funding.The partnership has also taught Willard students a lot about the food business.However,last month,the city of Berkeley’s Environmental Health Division sent several Josephine cooks—including McGhee—orders to stop selling meals from their homes without a permit.“The issue really is about food safety a nd being able to inspect how food is prepared,”said Matthai Chakko,a spokesman for the city of Berkeley.Luckily,the kids at Willard Middle School have access to commercial-grade kitchens that have the necessary permits.And the company says it is pushing to change California’s law regarding who can make and sell food.“People were happy and pleased to come here and get their meals,and I think that’s their right,”McGhee says. 1.What’s the biggest attraction of Josephine?A.It provides cheap food.B.It provides quality food.C.It’s easy to buy food on it.D.There’s a rich variety of food on it.2.What can we say about the cooperation between Josephine and Willard Middle School?A.It was started this year.B.It burdens the students.C.It has benefited both sides.D.It is opposed by the government.3.What’s McGhee’s attitude towards the orders from Berkeley’s Environmental Health Division?A.Uninterested.B.Surprised.C.Supportive.D.Dissatisfied.BModern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry,but because you are affected by many other things.How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat.People eating alone eat least.People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more.Eating with overweight friends? You’ll eat more.Is your waitress overweight?You’ll eat more.A wide variety of food? You’ll eat more.Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes.If people ate it off a paper plate,they’d say,“This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate,they would say,“This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat.You tend to eat more when you think the food is good,and less when you think it is bad.So Grandma’s cookies always taste better than other cookies.“Good food” even has a“health halo(光环) effect”.If we’re eating something healthy,we feel that everything in that meal is healthy.Due to this,people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone.That’s perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour.Food and hunger affect your judgment too.Hungry judges give more serious sentences.Kids who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast.People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.4.What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?A.Suffering from great loneliness.B.Being served by a helpful waitress.C.Being treated to high quality food.D.Eating with many friends.5.According to the passage,an annoying person may be one who .A.finds any excuse for eating moreB.is crazy about the quality of platespetes with others in making cookiesD.teaches people to stick to morality6.According to the passage,people are more likely to make a bad judgment when .A.they don’t feel hungryB.they aren’t overweightC.they have low blood sugarD.they know little about food7.What would be the best title for the passage?A.When Can’t We Go on a DietB.What Affects EatingC.How to Make Good FoodD.Where to Find Safe Food二.七选五阅读Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork.1.The following are some tips that might help you take good notes.Write down key facts and ignore unimportant details.2.Some teachers write notes on the blackboard,and that’s great.You can copy them in class.Some teachers may not write anything down.You should take notes of the important points said by them.3,don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you paring your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning.It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.。
