Harry had a very small farm. He only had one cow but dreamed about having a large farm. He once asked his father Bill, “I’d like to have that land over there. How can I get it?” His father encouraged him to go and talk to the landowner(地主) to see how they could get the land. Harry said. “But we don’t have enough money.” His father said, “Don’t worry. Go and talk to him.”

Several years passed. Harry had not only the land, but also several hundred cows. He had a happy life with his wife.

Later, Harry’s wife, Sarah, had a dream. “I want to build the biggest farm in the world.” She said. They called their friend Manuel about this task. Three days later Manuel had a plan for the whole project. Then they asked, “How much will it cost?” Manuel said they needed a lot of money.

“Nobody will lend us so much money to build a farm,” they thought. But the manager of the bank trusted them and their dream.

A few months later, La manuel, the biggest farm in the world, was opened.

3.In order to(为了) make Sarah’s dream come true(实现),

Manuel _________.

4.The underlined word “trust” means ________.

5. From this passage, we can learn that ________.

Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中风).

New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t reach more than the daily level.

The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.

A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.

I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.

1.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.

A．white people                          B．black people

C．untreated diseases                      D．high blood pressure and diabetes

2.What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?

A．Black people take in too much salt.

B．Black people’s meals are very special.

C．Processed foods have too much salt in them.

D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.

3.What would the writer probably suggest black people do?

A．Order no salad in a restaurant.             B．Take in no salt for several days.

C．Stop cooking their favorite meals.           D．Eat less takeaways.

4.The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to _______.

A．thank those who came to his home for his research

B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier

C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home

D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is

5.What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Watch the salt                          B．Take care, black people

C．Say no to takeaways                     D．Say no to high blood pressure

A

Several years ago，a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker，another owned one of the largest companies in the world，and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

The reporter was talking to them about being important. “How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.

The banker thought for a few moments and then said， “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important. ”

The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.

The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country，and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. ”

The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”

“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. ”

“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.

“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， ‘It’s for you. ‘ ”
