1、 On my way home after school, I often see roadside vendors (路边摊贩) selling snacks. Many students and adults buy their food because they are cheap and tasty. 1. But I think these vendors and their food might be harmful to our environment and health.
2. First of all, their food isn’t safe enough. Nobody checks to make sure that their food is healthy before we eat it. These vendors also throw rubbish everywhere. Some vendors even pour out oil near the roadside, which can pollute the environment.

24、Most people will tell you that they can’t work without a cup of coffee in the morning. Research has shown that a cup of coffee does give a person slight excitement.
Legend said that Kaldi, an Ethiopian, found his goats happier while enjoying coffee plants. Curiously, he tasted the leaves and began to dance around. Whether the Legend was true or not, the discovery of coffee dates back to 800A. D. Soon Arabians were roasting coffee beans. Muslims were drinking coffee to stay awake by 1000 A.D. A merchant from Venice introduced coffee to Europe in 1615. By 1696, the Dutch started growing the coffee bush in Java. By 1723, coffee plants were introduced to the Americans. Today, coffee is the most popular drink in the world.
Caffeine is the major chemical in coffee. It blocks(阻止) adenosine, a chemical that makes you sleepy. People can get a pick-me-up or stimulation(刺激) from the drink. The stimulation does not last long. Caffeine poisoning can occur if more than 400 milligrams of caffeine is drunk in a short period, which is about four to five cups of coffee. Caffeine will also cause sleep difficulty, so it should not be drunk before bed.
Caffeine has many advantages. Studies have shown that it helps improve some skills in elderly women. Women who drank three cups of coffee daily scored higher on memory tests than women who drank one cup of coffee. According to newser.com, one cup of coffee a day protects the brain. Coffee also can help people keep away from many diseases according to webmd.com.
Large amounts of coffee can cause nervousness, worries and a fast heartbeat. However, if you mix coffee with milk, it’s fine. Caffeine can be addictive like any drug. The more you drink, the more you depend on it. For some people, just one cup of coffee a day is OK.

25、Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a department store owned by their father. After their father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register (收银机). But when he returned, the money was gone.
Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?” Gavin said that he did not. But Gary did not let it go and kept questioning. “The twenty-dollar bill can’t get up and walk away by itself! Surely you must have seen it.” There was accusation (谴责) in Gary’s voice. Tempers began to rise and resentment (愤慨) grew. “I said I didn’t see it!” Gavin replied with anger.
The quarrel separated the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility never ended.
One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, “How long have you been here?” Gary replied that he’d been there all his life. “Then you are the person I’m looking for, since I must confess (承认) something to you,” the customer said emotionally. “Twenty years ago, I was totally hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I haven’t been able to forget that. I had to come back and ask for your forgiveness.”
The stranger felt astonished (吃惊的) when seeing tears well (涌出) up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. “Would you please go to the next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?” Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more—after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and went together in front of the wall of the store.
After twenty years, the wall of resentment (怨恨) that set them apart finally came down.

26、 Mukbang, a South Korean word, means “eating broadcast(吃播)”. It is an online broadcast in which a host eats tons of food while talking with the people watching him or her. It began in South Korea in around 2010 and has spread all over the world.
Why did mukbang first appear in South Korea? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic(评论家), thinks that it’s down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans”. He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea, where social eating is such a long tradition. However, eating alone is becoming increasingly common. It seems that mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger.
Alice Stride, a spokeswoman for the Campaign to End Loneliness, says, “It might bring someone great comfort to watch mukbang.” She adds that she would be worried if younger people were watching people eat instead of eating with friends or family, but for older people it could be a comfort. “If you can’t get out, if you’re ill for example, then perhaps that will bring you a great sense of comfort. On the whole, though, we would advocate face-to-face communication. It’s something that won’t change.”
“I would always encourage people to do whatever makes them feel better as long as it is a healthy habit,” says Ben Edwards, a relationship expert. “I doubt if mukbang is a healthy way to have a meal. But I think if people feel like watching other people eat, and it gives them some sort of satisfaction, I see no harm.”
【1】What questions are answered in Paragraph 1?
①How old is mukbang?
②What does mukbang mean?
③Where did mukbang begin?
④How did mukbang get popular?
A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④
【2】According to Jeff Yang, it is difficult for South Koreans to eat alone because they_____________.
A. have the culture of eating together B. are supporters of ending loneliness
C. like joining a larger group D. usually have a big family
【3】Which of the following is probably Alice Stride’s opinion?
A. Mukbang helps lots of people feel less lonely.
B. Older people are more interested in mukbang.
C. Younger people should offer more comfort to older people.
D. Younger people should eat with their friends and family a lot.
【4】What does the underlined word “advocate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?
A. 观察 B. 提倡 C. 建立 D. 评估
【5】What does Ben Edwards think of mukbang?
A. It is difficult to do. B. It is healthy for the host.
C. It is an acceptable thing. D. It is a popular way of eating.
27、
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian painter, spent about 15 years completing the Mona Lisa. He said it was one of his favourite paintings. It was so precious(珍贵的) to him that he kept it for himself until he died in 1519.
Leonardo da Vinci never revealed who was the model of the painting. Since his death, many people have tried to find out, and some people even suggest it is a self-portrait(自画像) of Leonardo da Vinci. One thing most Mona Lisa fans agree on is that it is her mysterious smile that makes the painting so special.
Who is the real Mona Lisa? It’s a question that has puzzled historians for centuries, and now historians think they may actually be a step closer to solving the mystery or one of the world’s most famous paintings. A group of experts have opened a tomb in the Italian city of Florence in the hope of finding some DNA samples(样本) which they think may hold the clue they need. The tomb is thought to contain the family of a woman called Lisa Gherardini. Historians think Lisa is buried in the nearby convent of Saint Ursula, where records show she died in 1542. They have recovered(复原) the bodies of three women from the convent, but they have been unable to make sure which body is Lisa’s.
