Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere — the crazier, the better. 1. Bibimbap Festival In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it. Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people. 2. Waikiki Spam Jam Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork. 3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet. Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) — 15,000 eggs strong — for the townsfolk (市民). 4. Potato Days Festival This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls. 【1】What makes Bibimbap festival special? A.They take four days to celebrate it. B.The mixed rice is rich in many vegetables. C.There’s music, entertainment and magic during the festival.

It’s a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities. It’s usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception. In September,2019 Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag–--- best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series. Her success is partly because of her family. Descended（遗传） from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you want if you imagine it.” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do. “Our laws and moral codes don’t apply – she lives ... without fear of consequence,” The Sun noted. That fearlessness extends to being authentic（真实的） in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows an imperfect but real character. Just like the character Fleabag, who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing, Waller-Bridge feels her life is a mess. “It resonated（共鸣） with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality – doing their best to find balance in their lives,” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb. Variety magazine even calls her an “all-around icon”. Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which made many people see themselves in her. “People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template（样板，人设）. And, aren’t we all a bit of everything?”Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express. With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without a doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented. 【1】What is Waller-Bridge good at ? A.performing B.writing reports C.directing films D.designing 【2】From Paragraph 3 we can know ______________. A.Waller-Bridge family results in her achievements. B.Waller-Bridge’s mother gave her encouragement. C.Waller-Bridge grew up in a rich home. D.Waller-Bridge is a bad girl in nature. 【3】Who definitely interviewed Waller-Bridge according to the passage? A.The Sun B.Variety magazine C.Indian Express D.The New Daily 【4】Which is the most impressive characteristic of Waller-Bridge according to the media? A.Being brave B.Being talented C.Being hardworking D.Staying true |

Samsung has given the public a first look at its new foldable (可折叠的) smartphone. The South Korea-based technology company first announced plans to build a fully foldable phone five years ago. The phone is designed to fold open to be as big as a small tablet. It can also perform some operations of a tablet. When folded closed, the phone looks and works like a normal smartphone. Justin Denison is Samsung’s vice president of mobile product marketing. He showed the phone, which he said marked a major breakthrough in future smartphone technology. He said Samsung had to invent new materials and methods and “completely re-imagine the display.” And one of the biggest difficulties was finding a material that was flexible(灵活的), but also strong enough to support repeated folding and unfolding of the phone. Denison said the phone will permit users to keep up to three apps open at one time. With normal-size smartphones, users have to keep changing between apps.“We have been living in a world where the size of a screen could only be as large as the phone itself,” Denison said. Technology experts see the new foldable design as a way to get users to buy a new smartphone seen as a revolutionary(革命者). More people are deciding to hold onto smartphones longer because the latest phones do not offer major improvements and can be very costly. This behavior is one reason for a steady decrease in worldwide smartphone sales over the past year. Research company IDC reported smartphone sales fell by 4 percent during the 12-month period ending in September 2018. Samsung, the world’s leading seller of smartphones, suffered a 7 percent drop during the period, IDC said. It remains to be seen whether foldable phones will become popular quickly. The phones are expected to cost more than US$1,000. 【1】Which of the following descriptions is true about the foldable phone? A.It was designed by Justin Denison five years ago. B.It looks like a normal-size smartphone when folded open. C.It allows users to keep up to three apps open at one time. D.It is expected to cost at most US$1,000. 【2】What is the difficulty in making the foldable phone mentioned in the text? A.To find new methods to reduce costs. B.To display the phone to the public. C.To find skills to keep changing between apps. D.To invent new materials to make it. 【3】Why are smartphone sales declining, according to the text? A.The quality of smartphones is getting better and better. B.New smartphones don’t have major improvements and can be expensive. C.The new designs of smartphones are not popular with the public. D.The foldable phone is not for sale yet. 【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Samsung Shows Off New Foldable Phone B.Foldable Phone Has Been a Huge Success C.Samsung Announces Plans to Make Foldable Phone D.Foldable Phone Will Become Popular Quickly |

If a super-flu strikes, face masks may not protect you. Whether widespread use of masks will help or harm during a worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying. But it’s a question the public keeps asking while the government is making preparations for the next flu. “We don’t want people to wear them everywhere,” said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Our suggestion is to avoid exposure (暴露) to the flu.” When that is not possible, you should consider wearing a simple surgical mask (医用口罩) if you are in one of the three following situations. First, you’re healthy and can’t avoid going to a crowded place. Second, you’re sick and think you may have close contact with the healthy. Third, you live with someone who’s sick but still need to go out. Why aren’t masks added to this self-protection list? This is because they can help trap virus-laden droplets (小滴) flying through the air from a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only remove the larger droplets. Besides, the CDC is afraid masks may create a false sense of security. Perhaps someone who should have stayed at home would wear a badly-fitting mask and step on the subway instead. Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then touches a handle or subway pole. If you touch that spot next and then put germy (带有细菌的) hands on your nose or mouth, you’ve been exposed. It’s harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask, so your face may get pretty sweaty under a mask. You reach under to wipe that sweat, and may transfer germs caught on the outside of the mask straight to the nose. These are the problems that face masks may create for their users. 【1】The CDC suggests that people ___________. A.stay alone when they are sick B.wear face masks when going to a crowded place C.wear face masks wherever possible D.remain at home if living with someone who’s sick 【2】The underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A.making preparations for the flu B.avoiding exposure to the flu C.coming up with suggestions D.wearing face masks everywhere 【3】One of the concerns the CDC has is that ___. A.masks may make people wrongly assume they are safe B.the sick may not wear masks and go out C.the flu virus may spread via public transportation D.healthy people may not know how to protect themselves 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.The widespread use of face masks. B.The possibility of a worldwide flu outbreak. C.New discoveries from face mask research. D.The effectiveness of wearing face masks. |

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (零花钱). The amount of money parents give their children differs from family to family.【1】 Some children get a weekly allowance, while others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do that, they won’t learn that spending must be done within a budget. 【2】The aim is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger purchases, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. 【3】Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. 【4】 They can share it in the form of gifts, spend it buying things they want, or save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice(牺牲). 【5】Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. A.Many banks may help children and teenagers manage their allowances. B.Allowances give children a chance to learn what to do with money. C.Parents are usually advised not to give more money until the next allowance. D.Children are encouraged to do some part-time jobs during holidays. E.They have to cut costs and plan for the future. F.These jobs are a normal part of family life. G.Timing is another consideration. |
