The long story started four years ago. My dad knew about Barkley long before he met him. “My son, you know, Barkley has a big personality,” he told me. “He’s a top-50 player in the history of the NBA. For many years, he was the number two guy, right after Michael Jordan.” Whenever we attended dinner parties, my dad would talk about his friend Charles Barkley. The first time my dad told the story, I didn’t pretend to know who this person was. Basketball has never been my thing. I googled Charles Barkley. He seemed pretty famous and definitely not like anyone who would be friends with my dad. But, as a modern young man, I knew that people have very loose definitions of the word friend. My dad showed me their texts and photos. I began to think that either my dad was one of the luckiest basketball fans ever or this whole thing was just a joke. But I was wrong. The friendship was real. One day Barkley came to my home to visit my father. Then I know how the relationship began. “It was, like, one of the most random things,” Barkley recalled with a laugh. “I was on a business trip,” my dad said, “and was walking in the hotel lobby, and I saw Charles Barkley.” “I was in Sacramento speaking at a charity event,” Barkley said. “So I just went to say hi and take a picture with him,” my dad said. “I was just sitting at the bar,” Barkley said. “And we were the only two people there. We just sat down and started talking.” “He’s a super-nice guy.” “And before we know it, we looked at each other like, ‘Yo, man, I’m hungry. Let’s go to a restaurant, Barkley said. “It turned into a two-hour dinner. And then we actually went back to the bar and just sat there and talked about for another couple of hours.” 【1】What did the author do the first time his dad told him about his friend Barkley? A.He refused to see him. B.He made fun of his dad. C.He pretended to know him. D.He searched for his information. 【2】How did the author feel about the friendship between his dad and Barkley at first? A.Admiring. B.Doubted. C.Understanding. D.Disappointed. 【3】Why did Barkley and the author’s dad go back to the bar? A.They got along well. B.They enjoyed the coffee there. C.They didn’t like the food in the restaurant. D.They were not content with the pictures taken. |

Does anything symbolize the throwaway culture better than coffee chains? Everyone is piled high with by-products of a culture which in the past 10 years has gone from thinking that a cup of coffee is best enjoyed sitting down, in a break from a busy day, to one where if you’re not constantly rushing, you may get to work to find your desk gone. Gone are the thick white mugs, washed and reused until they broke. Instead, we’ve a vast new industry of disposables (一次性用品) for coffee on the go. Cosla Coffee alone uses more than 100 million disposable coffee cups a year. Add to that Starbucks, Caffe Nero and other coffee shops; and you get something approaching 500 million paper cups and a billion napkins, plus plastic knives, spoons and sandwich boxes to get rid of, just in the UK, every year. There are no regulations determining what materials they use or how they dispose of any of it. So they do what they like, which turns out to vary wildly. One reason may be that three different government departments are in charge of waste management. Communities Secretary is responsible for local rubbish collection, Environment Secretary for waste policy, and Energy and Climate Change Secretary the aspect of, well, dealing with climate change. When I1 asked the major chains about their recycling policies, Starbucks said, “We’re aiming to make our cups recyclable in the near future.” Its salad containers are biodegradable (可生物降解的) and its sandwich containers, being a sandwich themselves of paper and film, are only recyclable once they’re torn apart. However, you don’t see many people doing that. Costa’s cardboard cups can’t be recycled, because although the cardboard is recyclable, the ink and the glue aren’t. So it’s planning to use vegetable ink and degradable glue on its cups. 【1】Why does the author compare the old days with today in the beginning? A.To present a busy day. B.To recall the sweet past. C.To introduce the main topic. D.To show the symbol of a culture. 【2】The underlined word “mugs” in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by_______. A.bowls B.bags C.chopsticks D.cups 【3】What can we learn about recycling? A.The problem of wasting has been under control. B.There are clear rules about materials disposables use. C.The sandwich containers of Starbucks can be recyclable. D.Communities Secretary is responsible for local rubbish recycle. 【4】What can be served as the best title of the passage? A.The Culture of Westerners B.The Future of Coffee Chains C.The Change of Mankind’s Lifestyle D.The Environment Cost of Takeaway Coffee |

Catching up with e-mail while you eat lunch? Watching television? How often do you eat while doing something else like checking out a web site or watching television? Results of a recent study indicate that distracted (注意力分散的) eaters are less able to recall what they ate and more likely to snack later. As an alternative, mindful eating may help you avoid extra pounds and unnecessary snacking. Researchers had 22 volunteers eat a meal while playing computer games and 22 others eat the same meal in the same amount of time while undistracted. They told the subjects it was a test of the effect of food on memory, but actually they were testing how full people felt after a meal, how much they ate at a “taste test” 30 minutes later, and how successfully they could recall exactly what they ate. Results showed that those who ate while distracted felt significantly less full just after the meal, and they were worse at remembering what they had eaten than those who were not distracted. In addition, at the taste-test session 30 minutes later, distracted eaters consumed twice as many cookies as those who were not distracted. The senior author Jeffrey advises, “Avoiding eating in front of a computer screen might temper the tendency to snack later in the day. Memory plays an important role in the regulation of food intake,” he said, “and distractions during eating ruin that. So, after reading this article, you definitely know the easiest way to keep fit. If you want to watch your waistline, it’s wise to focus on the food before you. 【1】What do we know about the study? A.It is a two-session test. B.It lasted for 30 minutes. C.22 volunteers took part in it. D.The volunteers knew its purpose. 【2】The purpose of the test is to ________. A.prove harm of snacks B.select the most delicious snack C.advocate a healthy eating habit D.find out relation between food and memory 【3】What does the underlined phrase “temper the tendency to snack” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Tend to have snack. B.Be less likely to snack. C.Change the attitude to snacking. D.Have a good temper after snacking. 【4】What does the passage mainly talk about? A.Focusing on the food helps you keep fit. B.Eating while watching TV does harm to health. C.Memory plays an important role in losing weight. D.Undistracted eating leads to consuming more food. |

Every student prefers to get high scores in their exams. But how can you effectively improve your memory and perform well in your exam? Try the following methods. ● Try the Memory Palace. For example, if you want to memorize some English words, you might store “furniture, television.” in your living room and “fridge, cooker...” in the kitchen. 【1】 Through this way, you can memorize these words easily. ● Create your own songs. This method has been proven in several studies as a way of sending information to memory. You can use your favorite songs to recreate new songs with information you need to remember. 【2】 ● Take some deep breaths. 【3】 If you are stressed you will have a more difficult time recalling information during an exam. You should put some energy into de-stressing but “turning of” stress is easier said than done. That’s why scientists recommend practice tests to you. Practice tests are not only a scientifically supported means of improving memory recall but they stand up to stressful situations. ● 【4】 If you are feeling distracted, do some exercise. Studies show that those who have exercised for 15 minutes and then complete a memory task, complete tasks faster than those who haven’t exercised. Even a simple walk can make a difference. There are so many suggested methods for you. 【5】 If you know that studying alone works best for you, go to self-study room often when you finish your classes at school. A.Reread your notes. B.Try a mini workout. C.We know exams are stressful. D.Skip out all the practice tests on purpose. E.You need to think about the way that suits you best.
