School Lunch
Ryan moved silently through the lunch line. The cook put a cheeseburger (奶酪汉堡)
and an applesauce cup on his tray. He grabbed a bottle of milk from the cooler at the end
of the line and found a seat in the cafeteria (食堂). Ryan saw that his friend Tyler ha
brought lunch from home.
"What did you bring today, Tyler?" he asked.
Tyler pulled his meal out of its brown paper sack. "I've got a ham sandwich, chips,
two cupcakes, and a can of soda."
Ryan's mouth started to water. "Uh, Tyler," he said. "If you don't want one of those
cupcakes, I'll take it. They sure look good. "
Tyler handed Ryan his cupcake. "Sure," he said. "I won't eat all this."
Lunch Requirements
Is Ryan eating a healthy meal if he eats the school lunch? School lunch supporters
say "Yes." Recent studies show that a government-approved school lunch has more
variety and is more nutritious (有营养的) than most lunches brought from home. It's also
lower in fat.
The National School Lunch Act requires that school lunches go along with the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans developed by the government. Meals must contain a
variety of foods with plenty of grains and at least one fruit or vegetable each day. Foods
must not contain too much sugar or salt.
A hot lunch can contain up to 30% fat, but not more than 10% of its calories (卡路里)
should come from saturated (饱和的) fat. In an average week, you should get one-third of
the daily Recommended Dietary Allowances for protein, iron, calcium (钙), and vitamins
A and C from your school lunch.
Dare to Compare
Let's compare Ryan's and Tyler's meals to sec which is healthier. Ryan's hot lunch
(without the cupcake from his friend) has 577 calories, 25 grams of total fat. and 12 grams
of saturated fat. He had one serving of fruit, 26 grams of protein, and 483 milligrams of
calcium. Ryan ate more total fat (39%) and saturated fat (19%) than the dietary guidelines
recommend. However, schools can still meet the guidelines by having the numbers
average out over a week of lunches.
Tyler's lunch from home (this includes both cupcakes) had 1 014 calories. 45 grams
(40%) of total fat, and 10 grams (9%) of saturated fat. He ate 21 grams of protein and 155
milligrams of calcium, but no fruits or vegetables. Tyler's meal met the saturated fat
guidelines, but had too much total fat.
Tyler ate more calories and total fat than Ryan did. Ryan ate more protein, calcium,
and fruit than Tyler did. Which meal would you say is the healthier choice?
À la Carte Options
Federal standards and most school districts forbid selling food in the cafeteria that
competes with the school lunch. Many programs do, however, offer à la carte choices for
students who don't want the hot meal. Foods sold à la carte separate from the main meal
and are priced individually. These foods do not have to meet the same nutritional
standards as the foods on the hot lunch menu. Neither do the foods sold at a snack-bar or
those foods available elsewhere in the school.
A study in one Texas school district compared the lunches of fourth graders who did
not have food choices with those of fifth graders who could choose either a standard
lunch or select from a snack-bar. The fourth graders ate 25% more fruits and vegetables
than the fifth graders.
Food sold as fund-raisers can also have an impact on school lunch. The money
raised is important to provide needed funds for many after-class activities. But the meal's
overall nutritional quality usually goes down. Many of these foods are high in fat, sugar,
or both, and often come in extralarge portions. Fundraisers rarely sell fruits and
vegetables.
Choosing Wisely
School food-service programs are trying to please students, and still offer quality,
nutritious meals at low cost. That task isn't easy. One school district in New York
decided to do something about it. A student advisory board kept the food-service
director up-to-date on what the kids wanted. They also worked with school snack-bars to
sell smaller servings of chips and candy.
You can make healthy meal choices at school even when not-so-healthy choices are
available. You can be sure to get a nutritious meal when you pick foods from the Food
Guide Pyramid. For example, always drink milk or a calcium-rich juice for lunch. Even
chocolate milk is more nutritious than soda or a sports drink. Stay away from snack
foods offered à la carte. They may fill you up now, but the ones that contain a lot of fat
and sugar will slow you down later. Always eat the fruits and vegetables offered at the
meal. They help give you the energy and vitamins you need to get you through the rest
of your school day.
Some people like to make fun of school lunches, but good nutrition is no laughing
matter. Your school's hot lunch is based on the Food Guide Pyramid, so it's full of
nutrition. Give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.
It's a Team Effort
Team Nutrition is a program that gets schools excited about healthy eating. Schools
across the nation pick a team leader who develops fun nutrition activities. The leader
works with students, teachers, parents, food-service workers, and people from the
community. Activities can range from running a school health fair to planting a garden.
At the Jordan Community School in Chicago, Illinois, one group of fifth graders
showed off their "pizza (比萨饼) garden" in a big, colorful poster showing vegetarian
pizzas. The students and foodservice staff planted and took care of the vegetables that
they would later use as ingredients on their pizzas. The group started growing the plants
in the school’s cafeteria. Then they moved them outdoors to the students' demonstration
garden.
This is just one way to get everyone involved in making school lunch healthy and
fun. Team up with your own group and see how creative you can get.

The __50__ suggest that genes play a key role in autism risk. But they also hint that
other environmental factors __51__ by siblings, like influences in the womb (子宫), may
be important as well.
On the __52__ of the findings, the researchers recommend that doctors closely
__53__ younger siblings of autistic children to pick up any early signs of the disorder,

Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Libraries are my world. I've been a patron (老主顾) all my life, and for the past nine
years I've worked at multiple libraries and archives in and around Detroit. The library as
an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I
have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a
community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope.
In the spring of 2007 1 got a library internship (实习生的位置) at the Southfield Public
Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we
experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax
season. Yet patrons weren't looking for Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference or tax return
forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business.
I interpreted people's interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing
their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to
reality, and they were looking for Plan B.
Things worsened in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague
Michigan. Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we
restocked every hour. Each night the library closed, the display was bare. While we
normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months.
Then there's the tightening credit market. People see the writing on the wall and
they want to get educated. They can't afford a financial adviser, but checking books out is
free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Think and Grow Rich,
and Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan.
The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work long hours and don't get
to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful
to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we
haven't lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope.

collection?

B) They find economics helpful in tiding over the crisis.
C) They consider it a trend to start their own business.
D) They are concerned about the worsening economy.
60. Why were there no more job resources on display by the end of the day?

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
More than three dozen billionaires, including well-known philanthropist (慈善家)
David Rockefeller, have promised at least half of their fortunes to charity, joining a
programme that Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett started in June to encourage
other wealthy people to give.
The pledge is currently worth about $ 150 billion, but the programme predicts it will
eventually be worth $ 600 billion.
"During even the Depression's worst years, my parents gave money - about 8% of
their annual income of $ 2200," said Lorry Lokey, one of the donors, on the website of the
programme, the Giving Pledge, "I remember saying to my mother that we can't afford
that. But she said we have to share with others."
The pledge has been a matter of some debate in philanthropic and non-profit circles,
with some experts dismissing it as mere publicity and others predicting that it would
produce a flood of new money to support non-profit groups.
Buffett said the real value of the pledge was found in the example it set and in the
sentiments (情感) expressed in the letters posted on the website.
Buffett and Gates will hold several dinners later this year to recruit more billionaires,
and members of the Giving Pledge will meet annually to discuss their philanthropy.
The pair are due to meet some wealthiest people in China next month and India in
March.
"We hope this catches fire in some other countries," Buffett said, "If they want to take
what we think is a good idea and run with it, we will be cheering."
Buffett said the number of people who had agreed to sign on was at the high end of
his expectations. He said some people who declined to sign the pledge were planning to
give away most of their wealth but did not want to draw attention to those plans.
Energy tycoon (大亨) Pickens, who is worth about $ 1 billion, said in his Giving
Pledge letter: "I've long stated that I enjoy making money, and I enjoy giving it away. I'm
not a big fan of inherited wealth. It generally does more harm than good."

B) They have made plans for disposing of their wealth.

M: I don't know what to do with Timmy. This morning I found orange juice spilled all over the kitchen floor.
W: Don't be so hard on him. He's only four.
Q: What does the woman mean?
12.
W: Excuse me, sir. I would like to know about the fitness training program in your club.
M: I'll have you speak with the director in charge of new accounts.
Q: What is the woman interested in?
13.
W: It's really cold in this apartment. Can we turn up the heat a little bit?
M: Sorry. I've run out of money and can hardly pay the fuel bill. Maybe you'd better put on a sweater.
Q: What does the man mean?
14.
M: I'm sorry, Miss. But you have to come with me to the security office. The video cameras in our shop have recorded everything you did.
W: No. No. I... I didn't do anything. I'll call the police if you dare insult me.
Q: What does the man think the woman was doing?

Conversation One
M: What should I do about Mr. Romero? Remember? He said it was important and couldn't wait. I think he may want you for that new movie he's directing.
W: That's absolutely correct. Now, we have to fit him in somewhere. Mm, what does Monday morning look like?
M: That doesn't look so good. You have a make-up session starting at 6:00. Then filming starts at 8:00 and that's going to take the whole morning.
W: Well, what's after that?
M: You have lunch with your agent to discuss the awards ceremony and you ought to meet him at one o'clock at the restaurant.
W: Oh, terrific. Listen, I cannot miss that. But I still have to make time for Mr. Romero.
M: Well, now, don't forget you've got a three-o'clock appointment with your fashion designer.
W: That's right. You know he's showing the latest fashions from Japan? You know that loose-fitting look? Those clothes are on show in this year.
M: At 4:30, you have an appointment with your hairdresser. Then at 7:00, you have dinner with a journalist. Now remember, be nice to that guy.
W: Do I have to? That won't be easy and it's likely to run late. How does Tuesday look?
M: Well, you have to spend the whole morning at the photographer's. They are taking photos to publicize your new movie.
W: What about the afternoon? Am I free then?
M: Let me see...Yes, you are free after3:30.

Conversation Two
M: I'm phoning up about this job you advertise in this paper. This...er...young sales manager?
W: Oh, yes.
M: I'd like to apply for it. Would you send me an application form?
W: No. You simply send in a written application, a letter.
M: Can you tell me a bit more about the job?
W: Well, we are really looking for someone who isn't too concerned about working fairly long hours.
M: What do you mean by “long hours”?
W: This is a job which does, as the advertisement says, have travel possibilities, and very often, one would be away at weekends, for instance.
M: Oh, I thought you meant working in the evenings and working overtime.
W: Well, it could also mean working in the evenings. But for a managerial post, I'm afraid we don't pay overtime. Mm...that's for other grades.
M: Oh. What kind of money are you paying then?
W: Well, this is to be negotiated. Oh, it depends partly on your experience and education. Perhaps you can tell me briefly what that is?
M: I've just left school and got A level in geography.
W: Oh, I see.
M: And it's the travel that appeals to me. That's why I'm inquiring about the job.
W: Yes, I see. What sort of salary were you thinking in terms of?
M: Starting off, I thought it would be something like ￡500 a week?
W: Well, send in a written application and then we'll consider your case along with all the other applicants.
M: Alright. Many thanks. Goodbye.
W: Bye.

Passage 1
A typical large supermarket offers around17 000 to 20 000 items for sale and it wants to make sure that its customers see as many of them as possible. That's why you'll only find essential goods like bread, vegetables and meat in completely different parts of the store. Products with a high profit margin are always placed on shelves within easy reach of the customer, while lower margin items like sugar or flower are on the top or bottom shelves. Many people make shopping lists before they visit supermarkets. But even so, around 60% of all supermarket purchases are the result of decisions that are taken in the store. For this reason, supermarkets try to attract their customers by placing certain kinds of products next to each other. In the UK, beer will often be found next to items for babies because research shows that fathers of babies buy them on their way home from work and will buy beer at the same time. Research has also shown that this kind of impulse buy happens more frequently when no sales assistants are nearby. Supermarkets have made selling such a fine art that their customers often lose all sense of time. When interviewed, customers normally guess they've only spent half an hour in the supermarket even when they have been there for over 45 minutes. But that shouldn't be too surprising. Any witty profitable supermarket knows that it should keep its clocks well hidden.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Why are essential goods displayed in totally different parts of the supermarket?
27. Where are goods with a high profit margin usually found?
28. What does the speaker say about supermarket goers?
29. What shouldn't be too surprising according to the speaker?
Passage 2
When Matty Sallin was working on a degree in arts and technology at university, he got an interesting assignment in electronics class: create something for the household. He decided to create an alarm clock. “Everybody has to use an alarm clock of some kind every day, and it's extremely unpleasant!” he says. He asked different people what they'd like to wake up to instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said, “the smell of bacon.” So Sallin invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon rather than sound to wake someone up. He explains, “There's no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses light bulbs instead of a flame for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm.” “What you do is put in a couple of frozen strips the night before,” says Sallin. Bacon is preserved, so there is no danger of its spoiling overnight. “If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs,” he says. “Then the bulbs turnoff and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig. So instead of an alarm, you smell yourself awake,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”

Passage 3
Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon and have identified three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, for example, a divorce or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not last for more than a year. Unlike the second type, the third kind of loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many of them think there is little or nothing they can do about it. Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, for example, friends, family members, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that the number of social contacts we have is not the only reason for loneliness. It is more important how many social contacts we think or expect we should have. In other words, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What does the speaker say about situational loneliness?
34. What problem will people have if they experience habitual loneliness?
35. Why do some people suffer loneliness according to psychologists?

There was a time when any personal information that was gathered about us was typed on a piece of paper and locked away in a file cabinet. It could remain there for years and, often forgotten, never reach the outside world. Things have done a complete about-face since then. Responsible for the change has been the astonishingly swift development in recent years of the computer. Today, any data that is collected about us in one place or another—and for one reason or another—can be stored in a computer bank. It can then be easily passed to other computer banks. They are owned by individuals and by private businesses and corporations, lending institutions, direct mailing and telemarketing firms, credit bureaus, credit card companies, and government agencies at the local, state, and federal level. A growing number of Americans are seeing the accumulation and distribution of computerized data as a frightening invasion of their privacy. Surveys show that the number of worried Americans has been steadily growing over the years as the computer becomes increasingly efficient, easier to operate, and less costly to purchase and maintain. In 1970, a national survey showed that 37 percent of the people questioned felt their privacy was being invaded. Seven years later, 47percent expressed the same worry. A recent survey by a credit bureau revealed that the number of alarmed citizens had soared up to 76 percent.
