Not all great meals come from restaurants. Some are served from carts and stalls, and eaten on the go. So-called street food is not only delicious, but can be found in nearly every country, rich or poor, says Carla Diamanti, co-author of Street Food: Authentic Snacks from Around the World. “It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place,” says the Italian writer, who has nibbled her way around the globe. She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us.
Naples, Italy
Pizza: Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food, but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples. The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers. If you're eating it on the go, you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio, literally wallet style. “Our pizza is quick and simple,” she says. www.inaples.it
New York
Hot dogs: When foreigners first visit America, one of the first things many want to try is the country's typical snack food, the hot dog. “It's like the flag of America—both inexpensive and democratic,” Diamanti says. “You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall.” 212-484-1200; www.nycgo.com
Japan
Bento boxes: Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring. Bento boxes are filled with different dishes: often fish, meat, pickled vegetables, rice or tofu. “It's really just a taste,” she says. While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays, they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go. 212-757-5640; www.jnto.go.jp
Jamaa el Fna Square, Marrakech, Morocco
Food stalls: When the sun begins to set, this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing, dance and eat. Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat, chicken and rice. “There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,” Diamanti says. 212 - 221 -1 583; www. visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/
21. It can be learned from the text that Carla Diamanti ________.

In life people make many decisions, some of what are so important that they affect us greatly.
My latest decision is made when I entered Senior 3 in Miss Zhang's class. Since I was not good in English, Miss Zhang asked me to listen attentive in class and put down some important notes. Therefore, I was never a good listener. I went on in my own way , ignore her suggestions completely until Miss Zhang had talk with me. He made me realize the importance of note-taking.
From this experience, I have realized a good decision benefits from people. We should learn to take others’ advices and do the right things.
College, a magical place 61 crazy teenagers go and, four years later, leave as responsible adults. Right?
Depending 62 your college experience, it may have helped you gain independence, or it may have taught you life lessons about 63 not to do. Looking back at the past, it’s always easy to see what 64 (go) wrong then. As long as you can use that experience 65 (make) better decisions in the future, it’s OK to say you have grown up. While almost everyone makes some mistakes in college, most people also earn a degree. They spend enough time in lecture halls and the library to learn the information 66 (need) for a job after college. It’s just a single piece of paper, 67 it is very important!
Of course, study life isn’t everything at university. Most people also make life-long 68__ (friend) on campus. 69 (play)sports or having adventures with other people who are doing __70 same thing you’re doing is a great way to find friends.
In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us,
1 goes like this; "Your future depends on many things, 2 mostly on you. " I can't agree 3 (much) with this view. It's true that our future 4 (determine) by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination, 5 hard work play a more important role. In 6 words, we are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln, for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a 7 (limit) education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America. 8 to this day. Lincoln 9 (regard) as one of the most inspiring figures in the world. 10 , I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation.

Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform a simple and random act of kindness. Not 61 (understand) the homework, the students didn’t know what to do. Chuck didn’t answer their questions. 62 , he encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom and began sharing their stories 63 (excited). One reported on helping a poor dog 64 (abandon) by its owner. Another student told others about giving blankets away to the homeless. Gradually, more and more students developed the habit of doing such kind acts, from 65 they benefited a lot.
Since then, similar kind acts 66 (perform) in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, 67 (celebrate) World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a 68 (differ) kind act, such 69 making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service or raising money for a charity. In this way, students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a 70 (good) place.
Hello, everyone. It’s nice to speak about that we can do for our school, and I think small actions can make big difference. The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautifully. Every one of them may plant a tree in the school or to organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We can also form a good habit of putting rubbishes into trashcans. Never forget to turn off the lights and close the doors. We should not leave the tap water run or waste any materials in the laboratory class. In that case, I believe we’ll turn our school in a better place to study and live in. How I wish we can enjoy a better school life!
Thank you for listening!
Bullying(欺凌行为) is a problem in many schools. Maybe lots of you have ever come across school bullies(小霸王). 36
Ignore the bully and walk away. It’s definitely not a coward's response—sometimes it can be harder than losing your temper. Walk tall and hold your head high. 37
Hold the anger. Who doesn't get really upset with a bully? 38 Bullies want to know they have control over your emotions. Work out your anger in other ways, such as through exercise or writing it down.
39 However you choose to deal with a bully, don't use physical force. Not only are you showing your anger, you can never be sure what the bully will do in response. You are more likely to be hurt and get into trouble if you use violence against a bully. You can stand up for yourself in other ways, such as gaining control of the situation by walking away.
Talk about it. It may help to talk to a guidance advisor, teacher, or friend. 40 Talking can be a good outlet for the fears and frustrations that can build when you're being bullied.
| A. Don’t get physical. B. Take charge of the situation. C. People above can give you the support you need. D. Here are some things you can do to fight bullying. E. Some adults believe that bullying is part of growing up. F. But that’s exactly the response he or she is trying to get. G. This type of body language means you are not easily harmed. |

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.
The general objective of public interest advertising is to inform, persuade, or remind people about the particular idea, cause, or philosophy being advertised. This kind of advertising is often used by non-business institutions, such as schools, hospitals and charity organizations. We also see advertising by associations. In addition, we witness millions of dollars’ worth of advertising placed by government organizations. Much government advertising announces the availability of such valuable government services as consumer assistance, welfare aid, or career guidance. However, with the resource available to it, the government can also use advertising techniques for propaganda purposes. Many state governments use advertising to attract new businesses, tourists, or workers to aid their economy.
Because of the fact that public interest advertising is nonprofit, the words it uses are much more different from the other 3 kinds of advertising. Its purpose is not to urge readers to spend their money, but to disseminate a kind of concept or advocate a social ethic. The headline of public interest advertising also acts as a role of attraction. The average words of them are 10.6, and most of them are curious headlines (60%) and emotional headlines (30%). We can know from the statistics that attracting the reader is still a main task for the headline of public interest advertising, because only when the readers feel the advertising will benefit them (no matter physically or mentally) should they have the patience to read it further—that’s the rule of all the advertisements. I also notice that only 10% of those advertisements include their advertiser’s brand, which shows that the public interest advertisements do not aim to propagandize any company or organization. Straight-line body copy is the most frequently used form—which is 50% of the 20 ads. 75% of those ads have used imperative sentences. Most of these sentences are urging readers to take action immediately for others or social ethics. All these data show the fact that public interest advertising does not please readers by beautiful words or original ideas, but touch them through true feelings.
32. Governments spend millions of dollars on advertisements mainly to ________.
A. promote special produce or business B. show mercy on less developed organizations
C. spread a kind of concept to the public D. give away money to charities and schools

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 41 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 42 Christmas after all.
43 , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
There was a 44 on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 45 us with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 46 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 47 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The 48 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were 49 pre-Christmas snow from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 50 us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to 51 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 52 —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 53 . Our Christmas morning 54 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 55 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 56 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 57 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 58 in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 59 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 60 gesture can make a world of difference.
41. A. chance B. anxiety C. time D. ability
42. A. lonely B. free C. merry D. usual

59. A. always B. usually C. finally D. seldom
60. A. careful B. kind C. pretty D. patient
People in Brazil mark Carnival(狂欢节)every year and it is considered to be one of the most important national holidays. It is not about a big moment in history or a famous person, but it is important for the people because it is a time of friendship, freedom, and many days without work. People can choose between parties and rest. Most people choose parties, day after day, night after night.
Carnival is celebrated forty days earlier than Easter, but it is not recognized by the church. It lasts four days and four nights. People put on their holiday clothes and go out into the streets or to clubs to enjoy themselves together.
There are also some celebration activities. For instance, samba schools make a parade showing their music and beautiful cars. They are followed by people. Every year the parade tells a different story, and each city has one or more schools like this.
In the south the celebration of Carnival comes back to normal by Wednesday. The problem is that it is not recognized by the church in the northwest where the carnival is more traditional. There, people do not respect its end and continue to party until the next Sunday.
Carnival is my favorite holiday, but I do not agree that the party should keep going. Like at other popular parties, people drink, dance and have fun. Unfortunately, some people are not very responsible and give it a bad name, leaving a bad impression of this holiday, but it is the only national holiday that brings the whole country and its different people and cultures together.
1. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The carnival is the most interesting holiday in Brazil.
B. The carnival is celebrated to honor a famous person.
C. All of the people enjoy themselves in public places during the carnival.
D. People do not need to work during the carnival in Brazil.
2. From this passage, we can infer that the carnival ________.
A. is a favored holiday in Brazil B. has a religious origin
C. is when people miss their ancestors D. is when people present gifts to each other
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. people prefer Carnival to Brazil
B. the carnival helps people from different cultures understand each other better
C. the carnival is only celebrated in the south of Brazil
D. many schools make parades with the same theme during the carnival
4. What’s the author’s attitude to the carnival?
A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
