Thats true. One thing I still cannot adjust to is the food and drink.Almost every American person loves sodas, especially those full of ice cubes (方块). I remember the first day I came to my host family. When I asked them for a glass of hot water, they all looked at me and thought I was crazy!At my school theres no water dispenser (饮水机) but theres one in each classroom in China. All the American students drink water from taps (水龙头) outside the restrooms that are specially designed for drinking. The water is cold and the school doesnt have hot water.The most popular food here is hamburgers and French chips, which are junk food in China. Most students who eat at school prefer those to salads. They also eat lots of pizzas and hot dogs. As a result, you can always see some really fat people in school.Luckily, my host mom is really a great cook. She always makes food from different countries and eats a balanced meal every day. So I have a lot of fruit and vegetables. At my host familys home, they usually eat biscuits.These old-fashioned biscuits are low in fat and flavored with buttermilk, butter, and a bit of honey. Oh here comes the most interesting thing: the word “biscuit” in China actually means “cracker (薄脆饼干)” here. Real biscuits are a kind of soft cake.I was also amazed by the rich kinds of food in American supermarkets and their reasonable prices. For example, one brand of yogurt has 20 kinds of flavors! Youre sure to find one that you like. And most of the food provides you “light”, “original” or “no sugar” options to choose from. 21. The underlined phrase “adjust to” is closest in meaning to _.A. add up to B. get used toC. deal with D. choose from22. What surprised the author about drinking water in the US?A. People drink from any tap they find. B. People prefer to drink sodas.C. People do not drink hot water. D. People drink from water dispensers.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Biscuits are exactly the same thing in the US and China.B. Salads and hot dogs are the most popular food in America.C. Its easier to put on weight in the US than in other countries.D.The author thinks many Americans do not eat healthily.24. What is the main idea of the article?A. To introduce food differences between America and China.B. To show how badly Americans need to change their diet.C. To tell about the American foods that she likes and dislikes.D. To show how much fun she has with her host family.BWant to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. Its possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive（积极的） feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the studys chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohens interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day. After the two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days. The result showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.25. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. People talked about their feelings every day. B. People were kept alone for six days.C. People were made to feel unhappy. D. People were given colds by doctors. 26. What did the study find?A. People who felt happy never got ill. B. Peoples feelings didnt influence their health.C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.27. This passage is a/an_.A. advertisement B. newspaper report C. story D. scientists diary28. What is the best title for this passage?A. Cause of colds found B. Smiles can fight coldsC. The danger of colds D. How people get sickCOctober 21 was a very dark day in Texas. Not only did Hurricane（飓风） Hanna destroy homes, it caused the largest business damage in Texass history. The worst thing is Hannas destructive force nearly wiped out(摧毁) most power poles and power lines. According to Center Point Energy, Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers. Currently, more than 4,000 of them are still in the dark. Crews have worked 16-hour shifts(更换) to restore power to residents. Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal. Schools, restaurants, retail(零售) stores and gas stations are open. Smiles are back. But harder-hit places, including Galveston, will take much longer to recover. Hundreds of people are still missing, and coastal towns are a mess. Some ruins from storm have drifted(漂流) south to other beaches in Texas. Several public schools in Galveston are closed due to water damage. Parents are registering（登记） kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13. Many school supplies were destroyed. Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston, Texas. This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying. Believe it or not, Paula Reed and her family consider this hurricane a blessing. When Paula was a girl, she was an orphan（孤儿）, but was taken in by her stepmum, Antonia Flores. Reed lost contact with Flores and had been trying desperately to locate her for the past few years. Before the hurricane, Reed and her family moved away from Galveston to a San Antonio shelter.
