A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds （葵花子） as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking （破開） the seeds，” he said.

I had never noticed the habit， but once he mentioned it， I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report， I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds， and， to him， it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.

When we were young， the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then， we all lived close to one another， usually in a small city， and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.

I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room， a large table would already be laid out， complete with a fancy tablecloth， ready-made dumpling fillings， and dishes full of candy， fruits and sunflower seeds.

Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later， while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.

I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits， no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad， I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark， they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner， no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy （佳肴）， and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.

24. What did the author become aware of？

A. She likes to eat sunflower seeds. B. She had ever typed a report about seeds.

C. She ate various snacks while watching TV. D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.

25. The author talks about Chinese New Year to say ___ .

A. eating sunflower seeds is related to it B. family would get together for it

C. the traditions of celebrating it are disappearing D. children can eat delicious food during it

26. What does the author think of Denmark’s way of eating bread？

A. Wonderful. B. Surprising. C. Special. D. Acceptable.

27. What can we learn from the text？

A. It is good to form healthy eating habits. B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.

C. Changing your eating habits will change your life. D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.

Trekking （跋涉） 500 miles across Spain is no easy task for anyone， but for wheelchair user Justin Skeesuck， achieving the dream seemed nearly impossible. However， Skeesuck’s lifelong best friend， Patrick Gray， simply didn’t accept that idea. He said， “We’ve done everything together so far. Why don’t we have one more adventure？”

That’s exactly what he did—pushing Skeesuck across northern Spain’s Camino de Santiago. Though Skeesuck has a muscle disease similar to ALS （肌萎縮侧索硬化） and high blood pressure， he first got the idea to go on the journey after he watched a travel show about the trail. He said， “I knew immediately since my heart was just telling me， ‘You need to do this.’ ’’

Finally， the two best friends from Idaho set off to make Skeesuck’s dream of going for the journey a reality. However， neither Gray nor Skeesuck realized how physically and emotionally arduous the trip would be. Not only did they have a strict time limit—about six weeks to get from start to finish， but they also faced extremely difficult obstacles （障碍）. The pair crossed mountains， rivers and a desert. “I’ve never been that exhausted physically in my entire life，” Gray said. The pair came across countless kind people during their trip who were eager to help them finish their journey， but they refused their help with gentle words. 34 days later， the two best friends finished their journey.

Gray recorded their incredible trip in a book—appropriately titled I’ll Push You： A Journey of 500 Miles， Two Best Friends and One Wheelchair， which would be published soon. Skeesuck and Gray are also working on a children’s book that will tell the story of their adventure. They hope that the book will give kids strength when they deal with difficulties.

28. What can we learn about Patrick Gray from Paragraph 1？

A. He is a wheelchair user.

B. He had been to Spain several times before.

C. He didn’t think trekking 500 miles was an adventure.

D. He wanted to challenge what was thought impossible.

29. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A. Disappointing. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Relaxing.

30. What can we infer about the pair’s journey from Paragraph 3？

A. They set off on foot. B. They finished it ahead of time.

C. They accepted a lot of help from kind people. D. They met with much difficulty as they’d expected.

31. Why did the two friends write a children’s book on that journey？

A. To persuade kids to take a trip to Spain. B. To earn some money by selling the book.

C. To encourage kids to face difficulties bravely. D. To show kids the beautiful natural scenery of Spain.

D

As the most common and popular forms of energy are being used up quickly， the search to find new sources of energy is underway. These sources of energy must be renewable and not cause the pollution that fossil fuels do. Among them are solar energy， geothermal  energy， wind energy and tidal energy.

We can get endless solar energy from the sun. The main problem is to collect and store this energy in an economical way. We can receive energy from the sun with plates or cells. Collectors put on roofs of houses and other buildings turn solar energy into heat. With this energy we can heat up water or the air inside. Solar cells transform the sun’s light directly into electricity.

Geothermal power can be produced in places where water comes into contact with hot rock below the earth’s surface. The water that reaches these hot areas turns into steam， which then produces electricity. Geothermal heat is an important source of energy in countries or regions that lie in volcanic areas， like Iceland， Italy， New Zealand or California.

Windmills have been used for centuries to grind grain into flour between two large stones or pump （用泵輸送） water out of areas that have been flooded. Today， large wind generators turn the power of wind into electricity. Such devices， however， can only be used in places with strong and constant （恒定的） winds. At the moment， though， costs are too high to produce wind energy on a big scale.

Tidal energy comes from the movement of ocean waves. One way to use the power of waves is to seal off a bay with a dam. When water moves into and out of the bay it turns a turbine （涡轮）， which produces electricity. There are some coastal areas around the world where the difference between high and low tide is up to 10 meters or more. Great Britain， Germany and France have coastal regions where such power can be created.

32. The main problem about solar energy is how to ___ .

A. find the right place to fix plates or cells B. collect and store it economically

C. use cells to store electricity D. cut down the costs for it

33. Geothermal energy comes from ___ .

A. heat below the earth’s surface B. tides from the sea

C. the wind D. the sun

34. How can windmills be used？

a. To grind grain into flour.

b. To move a turbine by boiling water.

c. To pump water out of flooded areas.

d. To turn the power of wind into electricity.

A. a， b， c B. a， b， d C. a， c， d D. b， c， d

35. What does the text mainly tell us？

A. Tidal energy was used in our daily life centuries ago.

B. We can collect and store energy from the sun for free.

C. Some kinds of energy mentioned in the text will cause air pollution.

D. Environmentally-friendly and renewable sources of energy are badly in need.

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food， furniture， books， bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want.        36

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper.        37        One of the first kinds of money was shells.

Shells were not the only things used as money. In China， cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands， rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks （象牙）， monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.

The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center.        38

Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money.        39        Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.

But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money.        40        The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.

Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

A. They began to use paper money.
