Are you a gourmand(美食主义者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcast by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.

The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

A. two B. three C. four D. five

2.Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

A. It is impolite to serve a whole fish last at a party in China.

B. There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

C. The program lasts less than one hour and only introduces traditional Chinese food.

D. We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long

3.What does the writer mean in the last paragraph?

A. The writer thinks everyone can have a good eating habit after watching the program.

B. The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself.

C. The writer thinks the program is too long.

D. The writer thinks the program has brought many kinds of delicious food to us.

Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured (受伤的) in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones.Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous.

Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on (专注于) driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones,their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.

And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.

Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive,if another driver is not careful,we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish,careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).

There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful,especially when you’re in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.

1. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.

A. phone users B. mobile phones

C. drivers D. ears

2.According to the passage,if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _______ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone.

3.According to the passage,in what order do the following activities influence driving?

Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous

A. drinking→talking on phone→texting

B. texting→talking on phone→drinking

C. talking on phone→drinking→texting

D. drinking→texting→talking on phone

4.Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?

A. It will take longer to send text messages.

B. People will want to talk on their phones more often.

C. There will be more things for people to do with their phones.

D. People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.

5.According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?

A. They should be put into prison (监狱).

B. Their cars should be taken away.

C. Their phones should be taken from them.

D. They should not be allowed to drive any longer.
