I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said,” Need a jack(千斤顶).”‎ As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.‎ I tried to put $‎20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.‎ After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粉蒸肉)for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20!I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked like great concentration said in English,” Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.‎ This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.‎ Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.‎ ‎( )1.From the passage we can know that 　　　. ‎ ‎ A. the Mexican man couldn’t speak English ‎ B. the author’s jeep broke down on the road ‎ C. the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit ‎ D.$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family ‎( )2.The author hand the money quietly to the man’s wife because 　　　. ‎ ‎ A. the Mexican man had refused to accept it ‎ B. the Mexican man’s wife needn’t wash her hands ‎ C. the author thought the Mexican man’s wife was a bit greedy ‎ D. the author thought the wife wanted to use the money to buy peaches ‎( )3.The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that 　　　. ‎ ‎ A. it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly ‎ B. it was quite easy to help the author repair the jeep ‎ C. it was possible that everyone might get into trouble ‎ D. the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help ‎( )4.What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A.

The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.‎ B People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories (卡路里) per meal，and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill (药片), because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals (间隔) each day.‎ Low calorie Diets Do Not Work The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism (新陈代谢) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust (调整) itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.‎ Lowfat Diets Do Not Work Many people in today's society are buying mostly lowfat or nonfat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this lowfat lifestyle.‎ Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.‎ ‎( )5.What is the main reason why people are overweight?‎ A．They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.‎ B．They eat food with lots of calories.‎ C．They don't take any weight loss pills.‎ D．They burn many calories every day.‎ ‎( )6.The article is written in order to ________.‎ A．tell readers not to buy low -fat or nonfat food B．tell readers how to lose weight C．tell readers about an important scientific discovery D．call on people to lose weight and stay healthy ‎( )7.To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.‎ a．do exercise every day b．eat meals at the right time c．eat fruits and vegetables d．eat lowfat or sweet food e．eat the proper foods at each meal A．a，b，c，d B．a，b，d，e C．a，c，d，e D．a，b，c，e ‎ C What should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and ‎ again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can’t make their own choices.‎ Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults. When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy. By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school. Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”. Now the child is up to almost all his / her decisions. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his / her parents. ‎ ‎ Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work?‎ ‎ Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices, and then slowly make bigger and more important choices. ‎ ‎8. The first paragraph is written to tell the readers that Chinese kids ______.‎ ‎ A. don’t know what to do B. always have many questions ‎ C. believe in their teachers and parents D. depend on adults too much ‎9. At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself?‎ ‎ A. Ten. B. Twelve. C. Thirteen. D. Sixteen.‎ ‎10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. American kids are more independent than Chinese kids.‎ ‎ B. American kids will more easily adapt themselves to society.‎ ‎ C. American parents don’t care for their children.‎ ‎ D. A sixteen American youngster can drive his / her own car.‎ ‎11. In the writer’s eyes, ______.‎ ‎ A. dependence on adults is shameful in ‎China ‎ B. independence from adults is worth encouraging ‎ C. kids have no ability to make a real choice D. making decisions is rather easy ‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ In China, tea is a traditional drink, which is not only good for your health but can also enrich your mind. The following are some information of teahouses.‎ ‎ Guozijian Yicheng Teahouse Run by two beautiful girls who play the seven-stringed guqin, this place is elegant and classic.

Another concern is that the time spent in waiting is so long that we have less time to have a rest. Meanwhile, some students think that the taste of the food is awful, which leads to a lot of waste.

I sincerely hope you can adopt my suggestions. Thank you!‎
