    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Do you have a headache? Take an aspirin or eat bird brains. Do you want beautiful skin? Use skin cream or eat pearls. Is your hair turning gray? Color your hair or eat black rice.
    “Eat bird brains, pearls, and black rice?” some people ask. “How strange!” But for many Chinese people, bird brains, pearls, and black rice are not strange things to eat. Instead, they are good medicines.
    Food that people use for medicines is called medical(药用的) food. The Chinese have eaten medicinal food and spices(香辛料) for centuries. Ginger, for example, is a common spice in Chinese cooking. Ginger gives food a nice flavor. The Chinese began to use ginger many years ago. They used ginger not because it tasted good. They used ginger because it was medicinal. Ginger, they thought, was good for the digestion. It also helped people who had colds. Pepper and garlic, too, were probably medicines a long time ago.
    Some people don’t believe that food and spices are good medicines. They want to buy their medicine in drugstores, not in supermarkets. Other people want to try medicinal food. They say, “Maybe medicinal food can’t help me. But it can’t hurt me, either.”
    People can try medicinal food at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, California. The restaurant serves medicinal food. The menus at the restaurant have a list of dinners. Next to each dinner there is information about the food. The information helps people order “Queen’s Secret,” for example, is one dinner at the restaurant. This dinner has meat from chickens with black feathers. It is for women who want to look young.
    小题1:All of the followings are common spices in Chinese cooking EXCEPT     .

    　　As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I'd better take some money, but I didn't listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.

    　　I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the comer of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.

    　　The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check (帐单) or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier(出纳) and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed(尴尬)when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended(假装) to look for something in my pockets and said,“Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?”The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.

    　　In a few minutes he arrived with some money, but he couldn't hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home.

    　　Now, I think it's funny too, but at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs(风俗), too.

    B．quite different

    C．close to each other

    D．very similar

    4．Why didn't Lynne pay the check for the writer?

    [　　]

    A．Because she didn't have enough money with her.

    B．Because she didn't want to do so.

    C．Because she thought it was natural for people to pay their own check.

    D．Because she wanted to embarrass the writer.

    Once there was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
    God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will take care of you.” But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
    “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
    “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, ”the child continued,”if I don’t know the language that men talk? ”
    God patted (轻怕)him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.Your angel will teach you how to speak. ”
    “And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
    But God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray(祈祷). ”
    “I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me? ”
    “Your angel will defend(保卫)you even if it means risking her life! ”
    “But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more, ”the child continued warily.
    God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you how to come back to me, even though I will always be with you.”
    At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, “God, please tell me my angel’s name.”

    Our village carpenter (木匠) , John, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size for the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.
    My wife said to me quietly,“That’s his ninth cup of tea today. ”But she said, in a loud voice,“It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it？”
    “I’ll decide about that when I see the bill. ”I said.
    John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:
    One dining table                        10 November, 1998

    Work, 8 hours ( $1 an hour )            $8. 00

    “Yes,colder — and more expensive! A dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30, won’t it, John？”
    John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes？I gave his bill back to him.
