21、There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”. It means that what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet (甜的) food makes a person overweight. To avoid (避免) being fat, kids are told to keep away from sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have found something new about eating sweet food. “When we say someone is ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly. Maybe this can help us learn more about a person’s character (性格),” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find out if someone’s character has to do with their taste.”

In one of their experiments (实验), students were asked questions about their character - if, for example, they were warm-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In another experiment, the scientists found that people who liked sweet food such as candies and chocolate were more ready to help other people in need, and those who loved non-sweet food such as eggs and chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more prepared to volunteer (志愿) to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

【1】The underlined word “overweight” (in Para. 1) probably means ________.

D．nice

【2】Brian Meier’s team did the experiments to find out ________.

B．why so many people love sweet food like candies and chocolate

C．how important it is for kids to volunteer to help other people in need

D．if there is some relationship between one’s character and their taste

【3】The result of the experiments shows that ________.

A．a person with a taste for sweet food is more helpful

B．one’s character has nothing to do with their taste

C．it’s important for people to have a good eating habit

D．children should eat lots of sweet food to keep healthy

【4】How is the passage organized? (Paragraph)

A．P1P2P3-P4

23、The American writer, Earnest Hemingway, is one of the most famous writers. The Old Man and the Sea is the last great writing in his lifetime. The book first came out in 1952, and then Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in literature (文学) because of it two years later.

Readers who like the book speak highly about it. “Well, this story really catches me and lets me fall in love with it from the very first words.” But people who don’t enjoy it think it’s a time-wasting book. They say something like, “This is the worst book ever!”

At first, Hemingway was planning to write the story into 1000 pages at least, but finally he decided to shorten it down into a book of fewer than 200 pages. He wanted the readers to have more imagination (想象力).

The book tells a story about Santiago, an old Cuban (古巴) fisherman. The old man doesn’t catch any fish for 84 days. On the 85th day, just as he wishes, there comes up a very giant fish—twice as long as his boat. It’s the biggest Marlin fish he’s ever seen. He fights against the fish for days and nights on the sea with little food and water. However, the boat is followed by a school of sharks. Santiago doesn’t give up and uses the tools at hand to fight with the sharks one by one. But sadly, the fish is eaten up by the sharks at last. He doesn’t bring back a fish but only some fish bones (骨头).

Does it mean that the old man is really a loser? I don’t think so. I believe everyone can learn something from him. You may think he is a great man. And maybe you will learn how to focus or how to face the truth. Everyone has dreams. If you find it difficult to make them come true, will you stop? No. You have to go on, just as what the old man does. So, no matter what difficulties you meet, keep trying like Santiago.

【1】When did Hemingway win the Nobel Prize in literature?

A．In 1950.

B．In 1952.

C．In 1954.

【2】How many pages does The Old Man and the Sea have according to the passage?

C．More than 100.

【3】What is true according to the passage?

A．Earnest Hemingway is an American fisherman.

B．The boat is twice as long as the very big Marlin fish.

C．The man doesn’t have much food and water on the sea.

【4】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．What we can learn from Santiago.

B．Why it is important to have dreams.

C．How to solve the difficulties we meet.

【5】In which part of the newspaper can we find this passage?

A．Science.
