24、 We cannot remember clearly since when we have started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click (咔哒). Later, we post the photos onto microblog or WeChat, waiting to be liked. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar (熟悉的) to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?
A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not that good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less satisfying. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It turned out that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the internet, one will involuntarily (不自觉地) check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems like your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.
So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me. It will be a wonderful time.
【1】What happens a lot at the dinner table nowadays ?
A.People talk about their microblogs or WeChat.
B.People learn from each other how to cook dishes.
C.People take photos of dishes and post them before eating.
D.People like taking photos with friends or families.
【2】What does the recent study tell us about taking photos of food ?
A.It makes people stay long. B.It makes food less delicious
C.It makes people want to leave. D.It makes people enjoy the food
【3】What does the fourth paragraph talk about ?
A.The reasons for checking your mobiles.
B.The ways of posting the photos onto the internet.
C.The tips of making others like your photos on the microblog.
D.Other bad influences of taking photos before meals.
【4】What does the writer think of taking photos of food ?
A.Funny B.Helpful C.Necessary D.Unacceptable
【5】What can we learn from the passage ?
A.Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home.
B.Forget the photos and enjoy the life with people around us.
C.Take photos of delicious food and share them with others
D.Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life.

27、The game of Go (围棋) was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture. It is not only a competitive event of the mind, but also a board game of entertainment.
Created in China more than four thousand years ago, Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1,000 years ago and has become a favorite activity of many people there. Today, Go still serves as an important way of cultural exchange among people in many Eastern and Western countries. Players in these countries take part in many international games every year.
The game of Go has many meanings for real life. It symbolizes (象征着) a square world of round pieces in black and white. There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total. While the board is fixed, the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways, just as life in the real world may take many turns. The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might find proper solutions to problems in life.
Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence (共存). In a game of Go, the players do not wipe out each other’s pieces. Instead, they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space. However, in chess and Chinese chess, the players try to wipe out as many of the other side’s pieces as possible. The one who forces the other side’s commander (主帅) into a dead corner then wins the game. Therefore, Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical (哲学的) meanings.
