It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have canteens，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not burgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，pickles and vegetables．
The United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary
allowances(定量)of protein(蛋白質)，vitamin A．vitamin C，iron，calcium，and calories(卡路里)．
Australia
Meat pies，sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．

In some schools．students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．
South Africa
Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at 1：30 pm and students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sandwiches．
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(營養(yǎng))．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes.

Penguins are lovely animals. Most people like them. But now as many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins are in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins has decreased by ( 減少了) 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in the Antarctic Continent (南極大陸) ,New Zealand, Australia and South America. Many live near cold waters (水域). But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins  cannot fly, but  they are fine swimmers. The shape of their body helps them to survive. Penguins eat fish and krill  (磷蝦). They have short wings that help them to dive up to 900 feet to catch larger fish. They can swim 10-15 kilometers an hour which lets them protect themselves. They also have lots of body oil that helps in keeping them dry in the water.
The warming of the earth is the reason for the decrease in the number of penguins. The hotter and hotter air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperature has decreased the fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce. And many adult penguins die of hunger.
Too much fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks (泄漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous things in ocean waters are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including sharks, seals and sea lions.
小題1:Penguins can do the following except________.
A．divingB．flyingC．swimmingD．catching fish
小題2:Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decrease in the number penguins?
A．The warming of the earth.B．Too much fishing.
C．Natural disasters.D．Poisonous things in ocean waters.
小題3:What does the underlined word "reproduce" mean?
A．繁殖B．滅絕C．遷徙D．覓食
小題4: What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Fish and krill have decreased.
B．Ocean waters are polluted.
C．Sharks and seals are the enemies of pen­guins.
D．The decrease in the number of penguins.

One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day: breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches. And tea was served(供應) to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.
Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange(倫敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.
小題1:Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she ______.
A．enjoyed chatting with her friends at home
B．loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups
C．wanted to share nice food with her friends
D．found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals
小題2:What does “social occasions” mean in Chinese?
A．集體婚禮B．社交活動C．社區(qū)表演D．公共場合
小題3: If someone says to you “Will you come for coffee,” you ______.
A．will be offered coffee only
B．a(chǎn)re asked what you would like to drink
C．will be asked to have a chat with him or her
D．you are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party
小題4: From the last paragraph we can see______
A．a(chǎn) new business was started in coffeehouses.
B．coffeehouses are still used by businessmen and bankers.
C．businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses just for coffee.
D．most people wouldn’t like to go to coffeehouses because of the noise.
小題5: Which is the best title of the article?
A．British and Chinese cultures.B．The beginning of Tea and Coffee.
C．Coffeehouse and Business.D．English tea and coffee culture.

Text messaging, or simply “texting”, which allows people to send and receive messages on  mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.
小題1: How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題2: What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find?
A．Texting is a good way of communication.
B．6,000 people were killed and injured.
C．Texters are easier to have an accident.
D．Many people text to greet families and friends.
小題3: The underlined word restricting probably means _________.
A．not tellingB．not allowingC．enjoyingD．making
小題4: This passage is written to tell us that __________.
A．we should do less texting
B．texting has many advantages
C．texting is better than phone calling
D．we should do texting properly
