It seems school children all over the world are not satisfied with 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 dining halls, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, and vegetables.
The United States
A common menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried(油炸的)potatoes or roast chicken, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide food with protein(蛋白質(zhì)),vitamin A, vitamin C, ironand calories.
Australia
Meat piesand 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.
Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled (標(biāo)簽) foods includingchocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however are served every day.
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 illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(營養(yǎng)).

As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack. In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually(隨便地) in Eastern Europe, so you don’t need to bring along your smartest clothing.
Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don’t exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do often don’t last very long.
Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills($1and $5) to use in hard–currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard–currency stores never seem to have the right change.
Electric Current Adapter(轉(zhuǎn)換器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug.
Language Tools: One of Europe’s biggest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go — you won’t find them once you are in Eastern Europe.
Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 – 9399, or toll free 800/874 – 9925) outside California.
Traveler’s Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler’s checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.
【小題1】How many tips are mentioned in the passage?

A．6B．7 C．8D．9
【小題2】Which of the following things may be the biggest challenge in Eastern Europe?
A．Appliances.B．Money.C．Language.D．Clothes.
【小題3】Which of the following statements is NOT a fact according to the passage?
A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.
B. Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.
C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C.
D. Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.
【小題4】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To tell you it’s not easy to stay in Eastern Europe.
B．To give you some advice on what you should pack when you’re in Eastern Europe.
C．To tell you something about the life in Eastern Europe.
D．To show you the life in Eastern Europe is different from that in your country.
【小題5】What do the underlined words “change” and “check” probably mean according to the given dictionary entries(詞條)?
change
1. [V] to become different 改變；變化
2. [V] to exchange money into the money of another country 兌換
3. [U] the money that you get back when you have paid for sth giving more money than the amount it costs 找給的零錢；找頭
check
1. [V] to examine sth to see if it is correct, safe or acceptable 檢查；審查
2. [C] an act of making sure that sth is safe, correct or in good condition by examining it 檢查；查看
3. [C] a printed form that you can write on and sign as a way of paying for sth instead of using money 支票
A．1; 3B．3; 3 C．2; 3D．2; 2

You might have noticed that the cost of food has gone up.In fact the price of wheat and rice has nearly doubled in the past few years.It’s thought that right now，850 million people—that’s more than 10 times the population of the UK—are short of food because it’s too expensive or there’s not enough of it.
The price of basic food such as wheat and corn has stayed the same for quite a long time，about 30 years.But as the world’s population is getting bigger，there’s more pressure to feed more people，plus there’s less land and water to go round.
Another reason is climate（氣候）change.Droughts and floods make it hard to grow crops like rice and grain.The price of oil has gone up and that makes it more expensive for farmers to run their tractors and to transport the food they make.And lots of fields are being used to grow crops to make other things that can’t be eaten—which is bad news for hungry people.
The main losers are poor people who live in cities in poor countries，who are facing higher prices for food.Some people are doing well out of the food crisis（危機(jī)） though.Farmers in rich countries like the US，Canada and Australia are getting record prices for their harvests.
World leaders are meeting in the Italian capital Rome to talk about the problem of rising food prices.Some countries are helping out with the cost of foods and international aid agencies have called for more money for food production in poor countries.
【小題1】The price of food goes up because all of the following EXCEPT _____.

A．there are more and more people in the world.
B．American farmers are getting richer and richer.
C．many farm lands are used to make other things rather than food.
D．climate change makes it harder to grow food.
【小題2】Who lose the most because of the food crisis?
A．Farmers in rich countries.
B．Farmers in developed countries.
C．Poor people in cities in poor countries.
D．Poor people in cities in developed countries.
【小題3】What does the food crisis mean to farmers in Canada?
A．They can get a lot of money from the government.
B．They have to save a lot of money.
C．They can make more money from the high price.
D．They are losing a lot of money.
【小題4】What is the best title for this passage?
A．Why is the Price of Food Going Up？
B．How Many People are Short of Food?
C．What Can We Learn from the Food Crisis?
D．Who Can Benefit（受益） from the Food Crisis?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成文后任務(wù)。注意：每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞。
Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Title: Relationship Between Age and   【小題1】          

The elements of the survey
