14、 Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors (皇帝) of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1,420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers (大臣).
In Mandarin (普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred (神圣的) that the common people could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a common family for three generations (三代人).
Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream which has come true. And I was excited to go on the trip and see the things that I had always wanted to see.
1．How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A．About 600 years. B．More than 600 years.
C．1,420 years. D．Over 10,000 years.
2．We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol for _______ of the emperor.
A．power B．beauty C．interest D．health
3．What’s the Chinese meaning of the word “banquet” in Paragraph 4?
A．performance B．competition C．exhibition D．dinner party

16、Do you like to eat sushi(寿司)? Many people are afraid to eat it, because they think the bacteria(细菌) in it might make them sick. However, a new study shows that sea bacteria are good for people. The study finds that a special enzyme(酶) from sea bacteria is helpful to humans. It helps people to get more energy from food.
To people’s surprise, the enzyme is present only in the Japanese. The Japanese traditionally like to eat food rich in seaweed(海藻). And the seaweed is rich in this kind of enzyme.
However, the enzyme isn’t present in all the Japanese. During the study, just 5 out of 14 Japanese had the enzyme. All the Americans studied didn’t have the enzyme.
“The number is small,” said researcher Mirjam Czjzek. “But we can say that this enzyme is present only in the Japanese and not in the North Americans.”
Then some people think that maybe other people are able to get the enzyme if they eat a lot of seaweed. The study suggests that they collect uncooked seaweed to make their sushi.
Restaurant sushi is often cooked, which will destroy the enzyme. So, if you want to get that enzyme, you can travel to Japan to have a taste of the real sushi.
1．Sea bacteria are _______ for people.
A．helpful B．harmful C．important D．necessary
2．Why do the Japanese have the special enzyme?
A．Because they eat a lot of seaweed.
B．Because they were born with such an enzyme.
C．Because they get more energy from food.
D．Because they like to eat food full of bacteria.
3．Which of the following is FALSE?
A．The Japanese have a diet rich in seaweed.
B．All the Japanese studied have the special enzyme.
C．All the North Americans studied don’t have the enzyme.
D．The enzyme helps people to get more energy.
4．According to the study, about _______ of Japanese have the enzyme.
A．5% B．14% C．35% D．60%
5．Which of the following food has the enzyme?
A．Restaurant sushi. B．Restaurant seaweed.
C．Uncooked seaweed. D．Seaweed soup

17、When I was 14 years old, I used to babysit (做临时保姆) for the lady next door. Every two weeks she would pay me $80. I always looked forward to getting paid so I could go to the shopping centre with my friends on Saturday and spend the money on my favourite things.
One Friday evening I heard my mom on the phone with our neighbor and I heard her say a fewtimes, “Oh, that is terrible.” After my mom hung up, I asked what was wrong. She said that the neighbor had no food in her house and that she didn’t know what she was going to feed her daughter with. Her husband had spent their money on beer and got angry because his wife asked for money to buy groceries (食品杂货). He began to pull dishes out of the cupboards (壁橱) and threw them at the wall. So, the lady didn’t have any groceries or dishes.
I had an idea. I asked my mom to drive me to McDonald’s.I bought the lady and her daughter dinner with the babysitting money she had given me. After I had taken them dinner, I asked my mom to take me to the store and I bought the lady dishes and groceries with the rest of the money. When I knocked on the front door, the lady gave me a big hug and told me how grateful she was that I helped her. When Saturday came around, I didn’t have any money to go to the shopping centre with my friends, but I didn’t care, because I felt great that I was able to help this family.
Later, we moved away from the area. I saw our neighbor three times and she always told me how much she thanked me for caring her and her daughter.
