The “Take In” restaurant in Helsinki, Finland, is currently in the news for its ingenious(有独创性)service. Instead of cooking the meals in its own kitchen—which doesn’t exist—it allows customers to order various dishes from a selection of 20 other restaurants in the city.
Sponsored by American Express and Wolt, a popular food delivery app, Take In is a pop-up(突然出现的) restaurant that opened at the beginning of November 2016, and will run through May 2, this year.
As you’ve probably already guessed, the name “Take In” is a clever play on words like take-out. The whole point of ordering take-out is to avoid going to a restaurant, and if you’re going to dress up to go out, you might as well go straight to your favorite restaurant instead of ordering food from it somewhere else. But here’s the idea behind it—when you go out with a group of friends and you can’t decide where to go for dinner, because everyone wants to order something else, Take In is the perfect solution.
“We want to be a living room in the city,” a Wolt spokesperson told Monocle magazine. “We all know what it’s like you’re about to go out for dinner with a big group of friends. Everyone wants to order what they like. What are you going to do? Well, the answer in Helsinki right now is you come to Take In because you can do all of those things in the same place.”
Customers are more than welcome to stick to the selection of drinks available at the bar. But if they want to try the “take in” experience, all they have to do is use the Wolt app, just as they would from the comfort of their own homes. Once they order and pay for their meals, all they have to do is wait for someone to deliver it to the pop-up restaurant.
1.What does the text mainly tell about?
A. American Express and Wolt.
B. The “Take In” restaurant in Helsinki.
C. The way to order "take-out".
D. A world-wide food 
service.
2.Why is the “Take In” restaurant popular with people?

B. People can pay less money.

3.What do we know about the “Take In” restaurant?
A. It has been run for more than two years.
B. It will replace “Take out” restaurants soon.
C. You should use the Wolt app.
D. You can enjoy the service in your own living-room.

One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a surprise test. After hearing that, all students were seated and waited for the test to begin. Now, the professor gave the test papers to all students with text facing down on the desk. Once he was done with handing out the test to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.
Students were confused to see that there was not a question but just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students’ facial expressions and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”
The students were still confused but got started with the test. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer from each sheet in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent.
Now, the professor began to explain, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused on the black dot and wrote about it but no one wrote about the white paper. The same is with our lives. The white paper embodies our whole life and the black spot problems in our life.
Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate---our friends around us, the job that provides us our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday. Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships, etc. But we never see that these problems are very small compared to everything we have in our lives.”
1.From the text we learn that _________.
A. the professor gave the students an unexpected test
B. the professor graded the students’ test papers
C. none of the students focused on the black dot
D. the students were unwilling to take the test
2.The underlined word “embodies” in Paragraph 4 probably can be replaced by ________.
A. presents B. represents
C. empties D. enriches
3.What is the main idea of the text?

New mercury(汞) threat to oceans from climate change
Rising temperatures could boost mercury levels in fish by up to seven times the current rates, said Swedish researchers in an article published in Science Journal. They’ve discovered warming increases levels of the toxin (毒素) in sea creatures. In experiments, they found that extra rainfall drives up the amount of organic material flowing into the seas. This alters the food chain, adding another layer of complex organisms which boosts the concentrations of mercury up the line.
Mercury is one of the world’s most toxic metals, and according to the World Health Organization, is one of the top ten threats to public health. The substance at high levels has been linked to damage to the nervous system, paralysis and mental impairment in children.
The most common form of exposure to mercury is by eating fish containing methylmercury(甲基水银), an organic form of the chemical which forms when bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%, since the industrial revolution say experts, driven up by the use of fossil fuels such as coal.
In recent years there have been concentrated efforts to limit the amount of mercury entering the environment, with an international treaty, called the Minamata Convention, signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.
Researchers hope that the Minamata treaty will be successful and countries reduce the amount of mercury that is being produced. Otherwise this discovery of a previously unknown source could have impacts for human health.
Other researchers in the field say that the new study highlights important issues that have previously been little known.
“This work experimentally proves that climate change will have a significant effect of methylmercury budgets in coastal waters and its accumulation in fish,” said Milena Horvat from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia.
“This work will also help us understand the formation of mercury in fish and help reduce mercury from emission sources (primarily industrial).”
1.Where did Swedish researchers find warming increases levels of the toxin?
A. In the Pacific Ocean. B. On the Continent.
C. In Red Sea. D. In sea creatures.
2.What can cause damage to the nervous system?
A. Exposure to mercury. B. Mercury at high levels.
C. Methylmercury. D. The use of fossil fuels.
3.How does methylmercury form?
A. By limiting the amount of mercury entering the environment.
B. By reducing the amount of mercury.
C. When bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants.
D. When climate change returns to normal.
4.What can we know from Milena Horvat’s words?
A. Climate change will increase the levels of mercury in food.
B. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%.
C. The Minamata Convention has been signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.
D. Mercury reduction from emission sources can be beneficial to fish.
