When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food.

I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes left. A few days later, grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge. boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the mornings she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn't really taste like bacon!

I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week's meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was wrong.

However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast (盛宴).

Each moment that you don't live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.

9. The writer's grandma used the leftover potatoes to______________.

A. mix with noodles         B. boil some vegetables

C. fry bacon                D. throw away

20. Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer's mum taste like bacon?

A. Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes.

B. Because she put potatoes into the containers

C. Because she was good at cooking.

D. Because she poured the bacon oil into potatoes.

21. According to the passage, how did the writer save food in her way?

A. By shopping ahead of time

B. By throwing it into the litter bin

C. By following her mother's shopping list.

D. By planning the next week's food.

22. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. It is never too old to learn.

B. Eat to live, but not live to eat.

C. Neither food nor life should be wasted.

D. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

C

Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you. Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It's a pleasure to meet you, the first-known visitor from outer space to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zademol?

Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not "Ms."

Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you've been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?

Bertha: It's not the worst planet I've ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The family I'm staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They're not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They're so rude.

Me: Oh, um.. wow. That's just.

Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with presidents on other planets. And they all admired me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean really, they should be grateful that I chose them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and treat me.

Me: Well, what you're saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to pitch in (投入) a little to be a good guest?

Bertha: It's strange to me that you're not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you'd agree with me. Everyone on Zadermol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.

Me: You know what, Bertha? I'm starting to see why you're so unhappy here on Earth. You're just a boastful alien.

23. Who is hosting the interview?

A. Aziza Bellamy            B. Bertha

C. A visitor from outer space. D. A president.

24. From the passage, we know that Aziza is ______________.

A. proud of Bertha

B. interested in Zademol

C. dissatisfied with Bertha

D. scared of Bertha's words

25. What might Aziza write in his diary about the interview?

A. Talking to Bertha was great fun. I now know much about Zademol.

B. We should try to improve our earth as Bertha's hometown is much better.

C. The interview was interesting. But I dislike the family Bertha is staying with

D. It was an unusual interview, and an unexpected experience as well.

26. We can infer from the passage that______________.

A. Bertha is never going back to the earth again.

B. The host family will like Bertha's stories later on.

C. There have been many aliens visiting the earth before Bertha.

Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.

It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help, "I'm being attacked!" When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄)！ The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.

More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can't hear these sounds out plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Com and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.

Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the "wood wide web". The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other, It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a "firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.

Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.

27. What will plants do when they are attacked by insects?

A. They will kill the insects by themselves.

B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects

C.They will send out signals to ask for help.

D. They will produce chemicals as a warming or a call for help.

28. How are the wood wide web linked by fungi?

A. By making noises with their roots.

B. By sharing food and information with each other

C. By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.

D. By spreading chemicals to each other.

29. What is the writer's purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To give people hope for further studies.

B. To praise scientists for their great achievements

C. To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.

D. To inspire people to communicate with plants.

30. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. The Study about the Plant Warning System

B. The Secret Language of Plants

C. The Plants that Give Warnings

D. Why Scientists Do Research about Plants

How to avoid careless mistakes?

Careless mistakes can make you feel worse than big mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, and that's okay. However, there are some ways to get yourself back on track (轨道) after you make mistakes.

31.______________

Don't worry. We are humans and we all make mistakes sometimes. Avoid putting yourself down when you make mistakes. A mistake is more like the brain shuts down, notices the inactive feedback you give yourself as threat, and then avoids thinking about it completely.

33.______________

It's amazing how fast lack of sleep can make people forgetful and cause them to feel stressed, which can lead to careless mistakes. Get enough sleep and you'll keep a clear mind all day.

34.______________

When you make a mistake, you should face it bravely. Don't make excuses that are useless. What you should do is to review your mistakes and learn from them. As the saying goes, " A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. "

35.______________

Don't let a mistake get you down. There's no need to be a perfectionist. Don't beat yourself up. Everyone makes mistakes. It's how you deal with mistakes that is important. Simply think about how you can solve the problem and move on. You will do better next time!
