I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever Im watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesnt like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Years Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, plete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I dont think its right to criticize ones choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. Its not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think its a delicacy, and its connected to their culture. I think its a wonderful tradition. 5. What did the writer bee aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B.

One kind of food doesnt necessarily suit everyone. B. Eating habits e from a certain culture. C. It is good to form healthy eating habits. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life. CThere is an old saying：“Dont judge a book by its cover.” It means that you shouldnt build your first impression of someone on his or her looks alone. But according to a new study，the famous saying might not be correct after all. A group of US scientists have found that the first impression we have of someone else is actually right most of the time.In the study, scientists asked participants to look at a photograph of a person and make a quick judgment about him or her. A month later, the participant and the person in the photo were introduced, and scientists were shocked to find that their judgments often match those that they had made originally.Its true that simply looking at someone wont provide you with as much information. But, according to scientists，when making a first impression, people rely more on their instincts(直觉) than on logic. “They focus on how that person makes them feel，” Paul Eastwick of the University of Texas told LiveScience. “It is very hard to get a sense of this information when simply viewing a profile(简介)As soon as one sees another person, an impression is formed and what we see can sometimes dominate what we know.”Of course, no one can be right about everything and your instincts can go wrong sometimes. But even if it is proven to be wrong, once people form an opinion about someone, they have a hard time getting over that opinion later on.The findings help explain why people always tidy themselves up before meeting guests or doing job interviews.“Their face constantly reminds us of that first impression，” said Rule. People may learn more about another person over time once they get close to each other, but first impressions remain very important and seem difficult to forget.9. What did the US scientists of the University of Texas find out in their recent study?A. Its unwise to judge a book by its cover.B. Its better to judge by logic than by instincts.C. First impressions are right most of the time.D. Profiles provide more information than you have imagined.10.The underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“ _”A. determine Bchange C. cover Dacquire11. We can conclude from the article that_.A. first impressions never go wrongB. its difficult to change a first impressionC. it takes a long time to form a first impressionD. first impressions are easy to change after people know each other betterDKitchen waste refers to deserted or uneaten refuse produced by household kitchens.It is heavy in weight and can not easily be disposed(处理)of like other garbage due to dampness. Separating kitchen waste from other waste can help to reduce organic matter in landfills,reducing smell and waste liquid and protecting disposal equipment.It is therefore necessary to perform garbage classification when disposing of kitchen waste. There are special garbage trucks to process kitchen waste.Labeled “Kitchen Waste”,the beds of the trucks are covered in a hermetic(密封的) metal topper to contain the smell of the rotting organic waste.There are two sizes of the trucksthe smaller ones are designed to move through narrow streets,especially in the old-fashioned hutong,the larger ones are for wider streets. Every day,they stop at the residential(居住的) munities in Xicheng district,pick up their kitchen waste and carry it to the kitchen waste transfer buildings nearby.And Fengrongyuan residential munity is one of them.It has 10 residential buildings and 606 families.In the afternoon,two garbage trucks arrive at the munity to collect its kitchen waste.The munity now has 31 sets of garbage cans.Every set has three cans in different colors,green for kitchen waste,blue for recyclable waste and grey for other garbage. Yang Kun,an official of Financial Street office,said that if residents in the munity can respect the waste regulations and make it a standard practice in their daily life,they could be rewarded for their efforts. After the two trucks are loaded with kitchen waste at Fengrongyuan,they will leave for the Xibianmen garbage storage building,where they are weighed before driving to an area to unload.The building has six big boxes to contain the kitchen waste. To save resources and promote the disposal of household waste,the first step is garbage classification as conducted by residents. 12. What can be learned about kitchen waste from Paragraph 1?A. It is too damp and heavy to easily dispose of. B. It can be as easily disposed of as other garbage. C. It helps to reduce organic matter in landfills. D. It is necessary for garbage classification. 13. What is needed to prevent the organic waste letting out smell?A. Trucks with a hermetic metal topper. B. Trucks labeled “Kitchen Waste”. C. Wider streets for garbage trucks. D. Waste transfer buildings nearby. 14. Where is the kitchen waste weighed before being unloaded?A. Old-fashioned hutong. B. Xicheng district. C.
