As is said, “the best house is in America, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China.” So I took pride and pleasure to 31 “the best food” for my American family. Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I would do something in a 32 way: changing the dishes color, the meats type or the soups style. Thus, my American friends could discover the 33 of eating Chinese food. Because of my “ 34 ” job, I was often rewarded（回报）by their expressions of 35 such as “very delicious”, “excellent”, etc. But something funny happened yesterday when I cooked Sichuan style 36 for dinner. I was 37 with my work. When the whole family sat round the table, they first looked 38 at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their 39 ?” they asked, “Its terrible!” Beautiful or terrible? I cant 40 . But I do know that fish heads are delicious. The head is the 41 part of fish; in China only the important guest can have the honor of 42 it. Another 43 thing is: the American friends often said to me “Help yourself” as they 44 home fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply 45 in answer to their kindness without 46 helping myself to any of the food. 47 , I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits. Dear me!

We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. Shell talk about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I dont want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. “Why cant you be like my co-workers son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-workers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect as Ive called the unnamed co-workers son. I cant be like him. Im the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary. I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesnt mean Ill be successful. Id rather follow my dreams and create my own future.51. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? A. The writers studies. B. The writers future job. C.

Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (机敏的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.54. The main subject talked about in this passage is _.A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second language C. that language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study55. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _. A. a researcher on language learning B. a second language learner C. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner56. We may know from the scientific findings that _. A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brain D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time57. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second languageCPeople in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense, a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea. Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室). Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didnt know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldnt control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million). The facility（设施） includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwo
