I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite-huoguo. You cannot imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huoguo in the air.

To my surprise, when I went into the room, I did not see any sign of huoguo. Where was it

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huoguo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huoguo is written in two words——hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it is easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.

Hotpot does not taste bad. However, I still miss huoguo—hot pot, two words!

underlined word “canteen” means “_________” in Chinese.

A. 宿舍B. 餐厅C. 实验室D. 体育馆

writer felt excited when she thought she would_________.

A. try traditional English foodB. learn English in the UK

C. have her favorite huoguoD. meet some new friends

is hotpot often prepared for parties _________.

A. Because it is easy to prepare.B. Because it is very popular.

C. Because it is quite expensive.D. Because it is good for health.

is the writer’s favorite food _________.

A. SandwichesB. MuttonC. HotpotD. Hot pot.

r the free meal, the writer learnt that_________.

A. “hotpot” was not “hot pot”B. hotpot took little time to cook

C. hotpot was not traditional in the UKD. the girl knew nothing about hotpot

There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment（实验）to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.

“I don’t believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is,” said Roy Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.

He did the experiment in small tank（鱼缸）of goldfish. “I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day I’d put it in and spread food around it.” He said.

“At first they were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.”

After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.

“They remembered perfectly well,” he said.

“They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left.”

The goldfish showed that not only could they store information, they also had the ability to get it back as a later date.

Culum Brown, a research fellow at Sydney’s Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.

He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.

“The thing that I really liked about Rory’s experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market. I thought it was really good.” He said.

began his research by ______.

A. discussing with his classmatesB. making friends with goldfish

C. asking his teacher for adviceD. questioning a popular belief

put a red Logo in the tank to ______.

A. connect food with the colorB. make the tank nicer to look at

C. feed the fish at the same placeD. give the fish something to play with

’s the right order of Rory’s experiment

a. find a tank of goldfish

b. feed the fish next to the Logo

c. leave the goldfish alone for a week

d. take out the Logo

e. put a red Logo into the tank

f. put the Logo back into the tank

A. adbecf B aebdcf C. dabefc D. adebcf

do the last three paragraphs tell us

A. Rory’s research was highly praised by experienced experts.

B. Rory’s experiment failed to meet the scientific standard.

C. Many scientists had already done the experiment before.

D. Fish are the cleverest animal in Australia.

Bamboo is a kind of wild grass. There are more than 1450 species of bamboo that grow across the world. It is hollow(空的), so it is very light.

For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in many different ways—from food to medicine to clothing. It is also used for furniture or man-made building products such as flooring and window covers. However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world.

Kent Harries, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, sees bamboo as a great building material because of the following.

First, it is strong. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to steel. Besides its strength, Harries says that bamboo has other features that make it a great building material. He says it can keep its shape and strength even under pressure.

Second, it’s very tall. It can grow up to 20 meters and it supports its own weight, even in the strong wind.

Third，bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. It lives on the rainwater, spring water and sunlight. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as pine (松树) and spruce(云杉) have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as maple(枫树) and walnut(胡桃树) need more than 30 years.

People usually think bamboo is only for poor people. But in many countries，bamboo is used for building floors and roofs and even beautiful houses.

In1882，a baby girl caught such a serious fever that she nearly die. The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving(夺去) her of sight and sound. That poor girl was Helen Keller.

Luckily Helen was not a girl who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She touched and smelt everything she came across. She also learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes.

Just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor- Anne Sullivan. With the help of Anne, Helen soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people’s lips by pressing her fingertips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for people who could not hear at all.

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honors from Radcliffe College in 1904. While she was still at college, she wrote The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Finally she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honors from foreign universities. In 1932, she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat （与……斗争）blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.
