One day Robin went with his family to eat in a restaurant. They were sitting at a table and waiting for their meal. Suddenly, everyone around them started to cover their noses. Some of them even left their tables and went away.
When Robin’s family turned around to see what had caused this, they saw two homeless boys. The boys looked dirty and smelled bad. But both boys were smiling and had beautiful blue eyes. They were looking for someone kind. One of the boys went to the counter and he counted the coins he had. The other boy looked sick and he stood quietly.
The young lady at the counter asked the boy what they wanted. He said, “We only want a cup of coffee. “ That was all they could afford. They wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up. It was really cold outside. But to sit inside the restaurant, they had to buy something.
When Robin’s mother saw this, she wanted to help the boys. She ordered some more food. Then she went to the two boy’s table. She put the food on the table. The boys looked up at her and said, “Thank you. “ When Robin saw what his mother did, he understood what the unconditional(无条件的 ) love was. His mother treated those boys kindly.

Asia has long tradition of tea- drinking. And China is no exception.
However, lately more and more Chinese people are turning to a different drink. Coffee has become an increasingly popular choice of Chinese people living abroad and in the country's huge cities. It is also a popular crop among those living in the mountains of southern Yunnan Province.  
In big cities such as Beijing, coffee shops seem to be on nearly every major street corner. These shops are not just selling drinks from Starbucks, the world-famous coffee company. Coffee businesses from South Korea, Taiwan, HongKong and Britain are also operating in China.
Tea-drinking is steeped in the culture and traditions of many countries, like China and Japan. But is that changing? Are young people from Asia now choosing a cup of coffee instead of tea?
BeiBei Su is from China. She has been living in the United States for the past eight years. Before that, she lived in Italy for two years. Ms. Su says she likes tea better than coffee. But she adds that may not be true among the young generation in China. Many young Chinese people drink coffee socially --when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea. She used to only drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both and for different reasons.
Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her co-workers like to sit in a cafe and talk over a cup of coffee. Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington, D.C. She says that after moving to the U.S. Her tastes changed. We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee.
With more people drinking coffee, many see an economic（经济的）opportunity for Chinese -grown beans. China-grown coffee could be a money- maker even if most of the coffee on sale in China is imported.

25. What does the author mainly introduce?
A. Chinese people have long tradition of tea-drinking.
B. More and more Chinese are choosing coffee to drink
C. People in big cities like drinking coffee better than tea.
D. More Asian people are turning to different drinks.
26. The underlined word “convert in paragraph6 means _________.
A. A person who has changed to drink coffee.
B. A person who has changed to drink tea.
C. A person who has changed to grow tea.
D. A person who has changed to grow coffee.
27. Why does YangLin drink coffee?
A. Because she lives in the U.S. Now. B. Because she can talk with friends.
C. Because she has drunk tea so long. D. Because her tastes has changed.
28. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _____
A. less and less coffee will be imported in China in the future.
B. the China-grown coffee beans will be sold to the world soon.
C. the need of coffee will offer more chances to make money.
D. Chinese economy will depend on coffee beans in the future.

Parents whose children think the latest Nike or Adidas shoes may be better than buying old-fashioned plimsolls (橡胶底帆布鞋) because they encourage a healthier style of running, researchers said.
Big companies, like Nike and Adidas, make millions of dollars from selling highly-cushioned shoes（厚增高的运动鞋) both as fashion and sports shoes. The researchers warn that wearing such shoes from an early age can make it difficult to run in a healthy way. Once we have grown used to running in this kind of shoes, it is very difficult to change our technique, even if we remove our shoes, it can raise the risk of injury.
Children should be encouraged to wear shoes with thin soles such as plimsolls from a young age to help them develop a natural “barefoot” running style, experts said.
Dr Mick Wilknson, who did the research, told the British Science Festival in Newcastle, “If I would advise someone on what to give their child, I would say don’t go and buy them expensive Adidas or Nike, just get them a pair of flexible, flat shoes. Give them basic foot-ware, nothing fancy, nothing particularly cushioned.”
Running in flat shoes, barefoot, encourages the runner to use the front of their foot which is a better technique for running, especially long distances as the human was designed to do.
Around the world, and in particular in the US, running barefoot is becoming more and more popular with many long distance runners training without shoes.
Dr Mick Wilknson believes that training and running barefoot or in flat running shoes can help reduce injuries to runners, he said: “Injury rates in running have not changed since the 1970s, despite claims of improvements in running shoes. That has led some to conclude that barefoot running is better.”

29. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Nike and Adidas are producing low-quality trainers.
B. It is improper to wear hi-tech Trainers at an early age.
C. It is unnecessary to buy hi-tech Trainers at an early age.
D. Hi-tech Trainers are too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
30. Why are people advised to wear plimsolls?
A. They have a new fashion B. They have better quality.
C. They are healthier. D. They are cheaper.
31. What can we infer according to Dr Mick Wilknson?
A. Shoes industry is gradually declining(下降).
B. Barefoot running is more popular with people.
C. Plain plimsolls will be replaced by barefoot running.
D. People mustn’t run without shoes for a long distance.
32. Who is the passage written mainly for?
A. The boss of shoes shop B. The runner of long distance
C. The boss of producing shoes D. The parents of young children
D
If you are tired of common hotel rooms, maybe it’s time to climb into a tree. A new generation of tree houses are appearing across the world, and designer Roderick Romero says he knows why and he said “They're magical. I’ve never seen someone climb into a tree house and not smile.”
Edisto River Canadys, S. C.
Before you can stay in one of the wilderness tree houses, you first have to canoe down the Edisto River. The paddle-in homes offer a cooking gear and comfortable sleeping bed. “It’s a really good place to get back to nature,” Romero says. The lofts have gas stoves and are lit by lanterns. The website:
Treehotel
Romero was astonished when he first saw the buildings at this hotel 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden. “It blew my mind. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.” he says. The hotel rooms draws heavily on spare Scandinavian design. “Architecturally this is one of the coolest ideas for a tree house.’’ The website: treehotel.se
Hideaway Cafe
While most treehouses are found in the woods, this coffee shop and inn turns the idea on its head with a location in downtown Tokyo. The building itself stands on stilts with a tree growing through the center of it. The cafe was the first treehouse designed by Kobayashi Takashi, who has since created more than 120 homes. “He’s one of my heroes.” Romero says, “In the treehouse community, he’s who we talk about the most.” The website: treehouse.jp/ hideaway/.
Tongabezi
One of the world’s most stylish treehouses perches in a tree alongside the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls. The large pine deck holds a bed and Turkish carpets. Guests can go on safati, or simply stay in their perch and watch for hippos playing in the river. The website: .
