Cecilia Chiang，whose San Francisco restaurant，the Mandarin，introduced American
diners in the 1960s to the richness and variety of authentic Chinese cuisine，died on
Wednesday at her home in San Francisco.
Ms.Chiang was not a chef，nor was she a likely candidate to run a restaurant.She was
born near Shanghai in 1920 as the seventh daughter in a wealthy family.After her
parents died，Cecilia managed the businesses’ finances while still in her teens.
Ms.Chiang came to the United States from China to flee the Japanese during World
War Ⅱ，traveling nearly 700 miles on foot.Once in San Francisco，she met twoChinese acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant.Ms.Chiang agreed to put up
large funds.But when the two women quit，Ms.Chiang found to her horror that the
funds were not refundable (可退还的)．She took a deep breath and decided to open the
restaurant herself.“I began to think that if I could create a restaurant with Western－
style service and the dishes that I was most familiar with—the delicious food of China
—maybe my little restaurant would succeed，”she wrote in her book.
The Mandarin，which was opened in 1962 as a 65－seat restaurant，introduced
customers to mainly Sichuan ， Shanghai and Canton dishes.The early days were
difficult.But little by little ， Chinese diners ， and a few Americans ， came
regularly.Overnight the tables were filled and the restaurant became a huge success.
Ms.Chiang continued to work as a restaurant consultant into her 90s.“I think I
changed what average people know about Chinese food，”Ms.Chiang wrote.“They

For many years，school children in the US have been taken on “field trips” to cultural
institutions such as museums of art.Educators arrange them in the belief that schools
exist not only to teach economically useful skills，but also to produce civilized young
people who appreciate art and culture.While there are parents who will take their
children to cultural places in their free time，there are plenty of other children who will
never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it.So you could say that taking
school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their
cultural heritage.
However，the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing，with the number
of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the
country.The most obvious reason is the issue of finance.Because there are increasing
demands on their funds，after all，computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap，schools
are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they
have.Faced with this dilemma，field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are
seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally，the nature of these field days is also changing.Schools increasingly use
trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an
opportunity for cultural learning.This__shift could have a basis in generational
differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school.A recent
survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were
significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning
experience than younger teachers，who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s
development.Research led by Jay Greene at University of Arkansas found that students
who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the
ability to think critically about art.They also displayed stronger historical interest and
were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.The researchers warn that ifschools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations，valuable opportunities
to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost.
8．What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions?
A．To teach students useful skills in economics.
B．To make every student exposed to art and culture.
C．To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.
D．To encourage parents to take their children there.
9．Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?
A．The drop in school funds.
B．Students’ demand for fun.
C．The dilemma of school finance.
D．Teachers’ generational differences.
10．What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The switch from old generations to young generations.
B．The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C．The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.
D．The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.
11．What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene?
A．Students are rewarded with more cultural awareness.
B．Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences.
C．Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.
D．Field trips guarantee better future academic performance.

When making choices，people assume that they pick what they like.However，research
suggests that we like something strictly because we have chosen it.In other words，we
dislike things we don’t choose.And this phenomenon has existed since we were babies.
In an experiment，US researchers brought several 10－to 20－month－old babies into
a lab and gave them two same bright and colorful soft blocks to play with.They set
each block far apart，so the babies had to crawl (爬) to one or the other—a randomchoice.After the baby chose one of the toys，the researchers took it away and came
back with a new option.The babies could then pick either the toy they didn’t play with
before，or a brand new toy.
It turned out that the babies reliably chose to play with the new toy rather than the one
they had not chosen.
In follow－up experiments，when researchers instead helped choose which toy the
baby would play with ， the phenomenon disappeared.“As if they were
saying，‘Hmm，I didn’t choose that object last time，because I guess I didn’t like it
very much.’，”said Lisa Feigenson，co－author of the study.
This is a very important phenomenon in life，Feigenson noted.Adults will less like the
thing they didn’t choose，even if they had no real preference in the first place.It looks
like babies do just the same.
It shows that the act of making choices changes how we feel about our options.The
random choices might become our preferences.“They are really not choosing based
on what they prefer，”said Alex Silver，co－author of the study.
These new findings explain why adults build unconscious preference when they make
choices between the same things.Justifying ( 证 明 有 道 理 ) choices is somehow
fundamental to the human experience.“I chose this，so I must like it.I didn’t choose
this other thing ， so it can not be so good.Adults make these inferences
unconsciously，”Feigenson said.
Such a tendency makes sense to us as we live in a consumer culture and must make so
many choices every day，between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans.
Next，researchers will look at whether too many choices could be a problem for babies
as they certainly are for adults.
12．What is the purpose of the experiments?
A．To test whether people choose what they like.
B．To see why babies prefer new toys to old ones.
C．To explain how babies and adults make choices differently.
D．To study if too many choices could create problems for people.
13．What can be learned from the experiments?A．Babies prefer bright and colorful toys.
B．Babies’ preference largely affects their choices.
C．Babies prefer adults to help them make choices.
D．Babies’ previous random choices affect their preference.
14．Why are the new findings important in life?
A．They entirely change our attitude to our choices.
B．They help us make wise decisions in a consumer culture.
C．They promote the relationship between adults and babies.
D．They help us understand our unconscious preference for choices.
15．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Babies like what they choose
B．Random choices matter
C．Too many choices puzzle the adults
D．Preference affects the choice

Scientists don’t know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain.__1__
In the experiment，the 47 participants may have looked a little strange.Each of them
had two Samsung cell phones tied to his or her head—one on each ear.__2__ The
phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes，but the participants couldn’t
hear it because the sound was off.After 50 minutes with two phone attached to their
heads，the participants were given PET scans.The PET scan is a way to take a three－
dimensional picture of how the inside of the bodyworks.
The PET scan showed that the left side of each participant’s brain hadn’t changed from
the way it was before the experiment.__3__These right－side brain cells were using
almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking.This suggests that
brain cells there were active even without the person hearing or talking anything.This
activity，the scientists say，was probably touched off by radiation (辐射) from the
phone.
__4__They release different amounts of radiation depending on whether a person istalking or listening，the type of phone，the number of people using phones nearby，and
the distance to the nearest cell phones tower.All of these changes make it difficult to
collect evidence about any health risks of cell phones，since exposure to radiation can
vary.
So for those who don’t want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for
the brain，there are ways to talk more safely.__5__
A．The phone on the left ear was off.
B．So an experiment was done to attempt to find it out.
C．People should avoid having a long conversation by using cell phones.
D．cell phones do not always give out the same amount of energy.
E．You can have short conversations，use a speakerphone to keep the phone away from
your head.
F．The right side of the brain，however，had used more glucose，which provided fuel to
brain cells.
G．From the PET scan the differences between the two sides of the brain were
observed.
