Time is very important in our lives. It organizes(规划) our everyday moments. However, time never had any
importance in my life until I received a watch from my father. The watch organized my life and made me more
responsible(有责任感的).
,
I received this gift on a cloudy day. On that day I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to meet my uncle
and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was staying with my friends. Later on that day,
around 11:00 a.m., I remembered my uncle, but at that time he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s
house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. on the same day. Seeing my father's angry face, I felt sorry at that
moment. After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me
this watch.
Then he said, “Lisa, did you have fun with your friends today?”
I answered, “Yes, father, and I'm sorry about not picking up Uncle Harry.”
,
He said “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions.”
I was ashamed and said, “Father, I'll never do it again.I promise.”
He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder (提醒) for you.”
He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
The watch taught me to respect time and never be late. That’s why it is important to me.

Do you have a headache? Eat some bird brains for dinner, and your headache will go away. Is your hair
turning gray? Eat black rice every day. And you won't have gray hair.
Eat bird brains and black rice? "Some people ask. "How strange!" But for many Chinese people, bird brains
and black rice are not strange things to eat, they are good things to eat. They are good medicines, too.
Many Chinese believe that food can be medicine. Food that is medicine is called medicinal food. The Chinese
have eaten medicinal food and spices(调味料)for hundreds of years. Ginger(姜), for example, is a common spice in
Chinese cooking now. Ginger gives food a nice favor(味道). The Chinese began to use ginger many years ago. At
that time, they used ginger not because it tasted good. They used it because it was medicinal Ginger, they thought,
was good for the digestion (消化). It also helped people who had colds.
Not everyone approves of the medicinal food. Some people think that food and spices are not medicines.
They want to buy their medicine in drug stores, not in supermarkets. Other people want to try medicinal food. They
say, "Maybe medicinal food can't help me, but it can't hurt me, either.”
People can try medicinal food at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, California .The restaurant serves only
medicinal food. Queen's Secret", for example, is one dish at the restaurant. Meat from a chicken with black skin is
in the dish. It is for women who want to look young.
Alan Lau is the owner of the restaurant,, He says, "Some people try medicinal food only once and then say, 'It
didn't work. But think about this: When your doctor prescribes (开药方) medicine. you take the medicine for five
days, or for ten days, or maybe for weeks. It's the same with medicinal food. You have to eat the food many times
before it begins to help. "Mr. Lau believes that medicinal food works, he eats medicinally every day.
27. Why did the Chinese use ginger many years ago?
A. Because it had a good taste
B. Because it was good for health
C. Because it made people feel cold
D. Because it gave food a different flavor.
28. The words “approves of” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “___________”.
A. agrees to B. cares about C. hears of D. gives up
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

The way we spend our time can be divided into three "bottles". These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the
Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle.
Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing
housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things that we
do for others, we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to
activities, cooking family meals, and washing clothes for family members, Those bottles are very important if we
don't fill them each day.
However, we often forget to fill the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle that we fill with
activities that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all
the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know it. it is time for bed. We all have days like
that.
This is why each day we have to make an effort(努力) to fill our Happiness Bottle. Most days, I fill mine by
going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the
pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for
charity(慈善) It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle
was filled to top.
The challenge(挑战)for each of us is to not let the day go by without filling our Happiness Bottle. That takes
some planning. Many of us probably need to pencil happiness activities into our schedule(日程表) Or, we will fill
our schedule with those Necessary and Voluntary Tasks.
This week. Think about how your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your
life? Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time? At the end of the day. Hopefully we've done
all we can to make sure that our Happiness Bottle is filled.
30. Which activity belongs to(属于) a Necessary Task according to the passage?
A. Having fun with your good friend
B. Preparing a big dinner for your family.
C. Going to work although it is raining heavily.
D. Sending your son to a piano lesson on Sunday.
31. People can fill the Happiness Bottle by________.
A. planning our schedule without any Voluntary TasksB. spending time on activities that make us happy
C. using up all the time to find happiness.
D. doing more things for other people
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People often fill the Happiness Bottle at bedtime.
B. People are happy to fill the Voluntary Tasks Bottle each day
C. It is necessary for people to plan happiness activities on the schedule.
D. It is OK if we don't fill the Necessary Tasks or Voluntary Tasks Bottle.
33. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To describe what the Happiness Bottle is like
B. To introduce ways to fill the Harness bottle
C. To share the experience of filling the Happiness Bottle
D. To tell people to spend time filling the Happiness Bottle
四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
When it comes to eating, we have strong habits. But most of the habits are not good for us. Let's read the
following rules. They can help you eat well and stay healthy.
Eat all kinds of foods. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy. but many of us
only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition we need by eating different kinds of foods.
,
There are five main types of healthy foods they are fruit, vegetables, whole grains(谷物), protein(蛋白质)
and low-fat dairy products(奶制品)
Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Adults should drink 2-3 liters of
water per day, while children should drink 12 liters. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium lo grow strong bones,
and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older,
you should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. Sugar just adds calories(卡路里), not important
nutrition .
Listen to your body, when you are eating. Notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably
full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often. it can make you unhealthy
and fat. When you eat, you should eat slowly. If you eat too quickly, you may "clean your plate" instead of paying
attention to whether your stomach feels full.
Be smart about your dinner. A good time for a healthy evening meal is between 17: 00 and 20: 00. Food
provides us with energy, and at night your body simply doesn't need any, It's best to avoid late night snacks because
they fill you with unnecessary calories and can disrupt(扰乱)your sleep.34. How can people get the nutrition?
