Now most children chat daily either online or through their mobile phones, They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.

Today is Sarah’s birthday. She is seventy-five. We asked a few old friends to dinner.

Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times. Thirty years ago, the village used to be a quiet place. Now it has changed. Every Sunday hundreds of cars pass through the village at what I think a dangerous speed. They make the village almost as noisy as the streets of a large town. As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses. Things are different now. Today there are very few horses working on the farms. The farm workers today drive tractors, not horses. A man is not of much use on a farm unless he knows all about machines. Now almost every house in the village has a TV set. Is it a good thing for children to spend the evening sitting in front of a TV set? When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors. I would play with my friends, go fishing or walk by the river. When my grandchildren asked me the reason why I haven’t bought a TV set, I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV.

8. The old like to talk about _______.

   A. themselves     B. others     C. the past     D. nothing

9. When I was a boy, I _______ riding on farm horses.

   A. used to see people           B. disliked

C. was fond of                D. saw some elderly people

10. Which is NOT right according to the passage?

   A. In the past the village was a quiet place.

   B. It is a good time for children to watch TV all evening.

C. On Sundays many cars pass through the village at a dangerous speed.

D. When I was young I didn’t waste my time indoors.

11. I would rather _______ than _______.

   A. watch TV; do some reading    B. play with friends; go fishing

C. do some reading; watch TV    D. go fishing; play with friends

                             The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
   The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often __41___ at her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students __54__ them.”
   I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw __55__ well?” Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ __56__ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a __57__ ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!” Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried. I __58__ , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never __59__ anything in her whole life. Everyone started to __60__ their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

   Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways. The WHO released(发布)five simple rules for preparing food in a safe way. They call these rules the “Five Keys to Safer Food”.

Key 1: Keep clean

____46   . People should wash their hands often — before touching food and while they are preparing food. People should wash all surfaces and equipment used for preparing food.

Key 2: Separate raw (生的) and cooked

Raw foods should not touch prepared foods.____47___

Key 3:   48   

People should cook eggs and meat especially carefully. These foods may carry more micro-organisms (微生物) than other foods. Food like soup must be boiled for at least a minute to make it be cooked completely. It is also important that people re-heat cooked food completely.

Key 4: Keep food at safe temperatures

When people finish eating, they should keep the left food in a refrigerator below 5℃and shouldn’t store it for too long. At room temperature, about 20℃, the amount of micro-organisms can increase very quickly. But temperatures above 60℃ or below 5℃ control the growth of micro-organisms.    49   

Key 5: Use safe water and raw materials

___50   . Damaged or old food may develop harmful chemicals as it gets older.
