More than 10 years ago,it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple.The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and,more often than not,hard with an unpleasant taste within.Then in 1966,the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.

The weather. It's always a talking-point in Britain. Why is that? Is it something strange about British people? Well it's nice to think that a lot of British people are eccentric（古怪）, I mean, the place is famous for it. But really, it's the weather that's the point of note. The UK has some of the most interesting weather in the world.
"Britain does not have a CLIMATE. It just has WEATHER"
In hot countries most of the indoor places that need to be comfortable are air-conditioned, and in cold countries most of the places that need to be comfortable are properly heated. The UK is the exception, since the weather is often interesting and no one really takes heat and cold seriously. So although the weather can be very cold, very hot, very wet, or just wildly confused, it always takes people by surprise.
When it gets to winter and there is actually some SNOW, it always takes the people by surprise. It is frontpage news, and even a few inches of snow brings the country to a standstill. But then, what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely. And who could possibly have predicted it?! IT MELTS! Flooding! What a surprise!
Then in the summer, it gets very hot. If it had been Thailand or Australia, there'd be no problem. It is supposed to be hot, so, there is air conditioning. But in the UK, just total confusion at the sudden hot weather. Shock, health problems, and despite the fact that the country is considered to be where it always rains, summertime brings drought! But do people have cisterns（水箱） and reserve water tanks? Wouldn't it make sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought? Of course it would, but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state, which then means that in emergency people are stuck! Why is the British weather so strange? It is something to do with the combination of an almost Arctic latitude（纬度） combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.
Helpful people in the know on geographical meteorology（气象学） have commented that the general situation with the UK weather is even more complex, as many different things contribute to the changeable weather. As well as the North Atlantic drift, there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Stream, the Polar Maritime air from the North, the Arctic Maritime, the Polar Continental, and the Tropical Continental. There's also fast flowing air in Jet Streams. Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley Cells and in Ferrel Cells. Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zones, and from land or sea, a changeable hot/cold wet/dry weather is found.
1.What is the British attitude toward heat and cold?
A. Serious. B. Indifferent.
C. Positive. D. Careful.
2.How do the British feel when they see snow in winter?
A. Excited. B. Frightened.
C. Amazed. D. Disappointed.
3.What happens when the British meet a drought in summer?
A. They have got well-prepared. B. They get water from the river.
C. They always help each other. D. They maybe fall into trouble.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why weather interests the British. B. Englishmen's attitude to weather.
C. Weather in the United Kingdom. D. What affects the weather in the UK.

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mum, I can’t peel(削皮) potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mum never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod(杆) to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mum about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, mum looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung(横杠) I reached.
I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mum came into my room. “Mum,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked(偷看) out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.

A. Mum believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C. Mum was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.
D. What the child had said brought Mum great attraction and curiosity.

A. they felt sorry for what they had done before
B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt

Tired of traditional running? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead. That’s what Shaun McCarty and other Australians are doing — running on all fours. 1.
McCarthy, who comes from Melbourne, Australia, said he’s the one behind the term “crunning.” “It’s not crawling, it’s not running.” he said. “Crunning is a better workout than running. It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does. 2.”
McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running.
3. Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses.
But McCarthy is not worried. Many Melbourne residents have been seen running around on all fours. 4.In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favourite activity for many years. According to some people there, the exercise is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty.
5. Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask!
A. Ready to give crunning a try?
B. As it turns out, they are not the only ones.
C. Crunning seems more difficult than traditional running.
D. It really exercises your legs and shoulders at the same time.
E. It’s part of the Internet’s latest fitness activities: “Crunning.”
F. However, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans.
G. He warns, however, that he can’t say whether crunning is potentially harmful.
