21、   One evening last summer, when I asked my 14 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “What’s a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.

I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.

As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?”

So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.

I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother — he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive — but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless.

Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.

【1】Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?

A.Because he was not well behaved.

B.Because he refused to help with dinner.

C.Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.

D.Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.

【2】In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to .

A.building up children’s confidence B.telling kids what is right and wrong

C.making children live a hard life D.preparing children for their future life

【3】What would the author like to convey in the text?

A.Useful education for boys B.Boys should be involved in housework.

C.The importance of housework D.Cooking and sewing make boys masculine.

22、Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.

Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories more during the day than their colleagues (同事) who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.

Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.

We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.

Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.

Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get ahead start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be.

B．Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruits and vegetables are equally important.

C．It is suggested that you eat your dinner at seven if you plan to go to bed at ten.

D．It is good for your health to eat fruits and vegetables at each meal every day.

23、Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51,It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.

Her name was Rosalind Franklin.” She should have been up there,” says historian（历史学家） Mary Bowden.” If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars（学者）doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors

At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.

But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.

What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”

As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson  and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that  “Franklin was only two steps away  from the solution.”

No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA . She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.

B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.

C. The process of discovering DNA.

D. The race between two teams of scientists.

【2】Watson was angry with Franklin because she   .

A. took the lead in the competition

B. kept her results from him

C. proved some of his findings wrong

D. shared her data with other scientists

【3】Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?

A. She developed pictures in dark labs.

B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.

C. Her name was forgotten after her death.

D. Her contribution was unknown to the public.

【4】What is the writer’s attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick?

A. Disapproving. B. Respectful.

C.  Admiring.    D. Doubtful.

24、When to Start Growing Seed (种子) Indoors for Your Garden

February marks the halfway point of winter in the northern part of the world. With spring arriving soon, many people are dreaming of working in their gardens on warm, sunny days. 【1】 They can do this by growing plants from seed inside their home.

It is important to know when to start growing your seed indoors. The answer depends on where you live. Gardeners use the average last cold date in their area to help them know when to begin growing seed.

【2】 If you start too soon, plants will likely grow weak and struggle to do well. If you start too late, your harvest will be put off.

While you are waiting, find and prepare your growing containers. You can use things like recycled egg containers. Each container should have a hole in the bottom for water to flow through.

Fill each container with a clean, wet, soilless seed-starting mix. Place one to four seeds in each container, depending on the seed kind and size. Water the seeds as needed to keep the mix from drying out. Cover the seed containers tightly. 【3】

When seedlings (幼苗) first appear, remove the covering and put containers by a sunny window. You can also put them under special lighting devices (设备) called grow lamps for 14 hours a day. 【4】 Ordinary ones will work.

If several seedlings come up in one container, cut the weakest at the soil line using small scissors. 【5】 If you let more than one seedling remain, the roots may become mixed together. The young plants might no survive.

A．Costly lights are not necessary.

B．Your plants will become stronger as a result.

C．Put them in a warm place without direct sunlight.

D．The aim is to keep only one strong-looking plant.

E．Some gardeners like to start the growing season early.

F．After finding your start date, it is important to respect it.

G．Leave them there for one hour and then bring them back inside.
