阅读下面短文,根据短文内容从每题所给的(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Most children with healthy appetites(食欲) are ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother refuses some vegetables in the child's hearing, he may copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthy should be got out of from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small part and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he may eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal, or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room. On no condition(任何情况下都不) must a child be coaxed(哄骗) or made to eat.

1.A child with a healthy appetite will eat ________ if it is not badly cooked.

[  ]

A.only a little of the food

B.all the food

C.some of the food

D.almost alt the food

2.________ can make a child like eating more.

[  ]

A.Offering as much as possible

B.Playing with toys

C.The way a meal is well cooked and served

D.The way parents eat

3.Which of the following is a good action before a child during meal times?

[  ]

A.To discuss the food a parent dislikes.

B.To ask a child what food he likes or dislikes.

C.Never to discuss likes or dislikes of food.

D.To talk a lot to the child.

4.If a child is allowed to leave the table at once after a meal, he will ________.

[  ]

阅读理解: 阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容, 选择最佳选项.  The idea of summer time(夏令时)started with an American named Benjamin Franklin (1706~1790). He explained how a lot of the money spent on candles(蜡烛)used for light (this was before electricity) could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier. Even though Franklin's idea had a clear meaning, most people didn't want to get up earlier than they had to. Who would It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to make the sun set(落下)late. His idea was to turn clocks forward by 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total of 80 minutes. William's idea was laughed at, at first. But when World War I started in 1914, many countries decided they had to save energy for the war, and they put Willet's idea into use. Summer time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy. However, summer time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986, but it was stopped in 1991. That was because the temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West. If the people from northwest part of China use summer time, sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them. Still, most parts of the world do have summer time, and most people look forward to the extra hour of evening light.

If you could look inside your body, you would see a magnificent machine at work---more magnificent than any machine a person could build. As you are reading these words and understanding them, your body is breathing, hearing, moving, feeling, digesting(消化) your last meal, making you hungry for the next and performing(完成) hundreds more tasks without you even noticing.
