Is a Tomato a Fruit or a Vegetable?
A) consists of B) simple C) produce D) as well as E) difficult
There’s no doubt that tomatoes have many different uses. They can be used in a summer
salad or to make a tasty sauce. But is the tomato a fruit? Or are we eating a vegetable?
Farmers, cooks and lawyers all have different answers to this question. But it may seem
36 to us. Eat it for lunch? Vegetable. Eat it for dessert? Fruit! But it’s not that easy. There
are legal definitions（法律界定） for what are considered fruits and vegetables, 37
scientific ones.
To answer the question “Is a tomato a fruit?”, let’s look at the definition of fruit. According to the Oxford English
Dictionary, fruit is“the part of a plant that 38 one or more seeds and flesh (果肉) can be eaten as food and usually
tastes sweet.”Like other true fruits，tomatoes form from small yellow flowers on the vine (藤蔓) and naturally contain
many seeds. These seeds can later be used to 39 more tomato plants.
A) equally B) decision C) In conclusion D) claimed E) suggestion
Does that mean that pumpkins, peppers and cucumbers are fruits? Yes, scientifically speaking, they are all
fruits. Then, what is a vegetable? Simply put, if you just eat the stems or leaves or roots or flowers of a plant，that
makes it a vegetable. 40 , carrots, potatoes and broccoli (西兰花) are all vegetables．
While tomatoes are scientifically fruits，they’re legally classed as vegetables．In 1893，the U.S Congress (美国
国会) passed a law. It put a 10-percent tax on whole vegetables. So, to avoid paying the fee, sellers 41 that
tomatoes were fruit. The Supreme Court (美国最高法院) then made a 42 for the case. It stated that tomatoes
were vegetables instead of fruit. The reason was that cooks prepared them and people ate them like vegetables. This
means, legally speaking, tomatoes are vegetables.
When it comes down to the exact definition, it doesn’t really matter. After all, both fruits and vegetables are 43
helpful and necessary for our bodies. Whether you like tomatoes in a salad or prefer tomato soup, eating this
fruit/vegetable will do you good.

Today’s Motion
Students Should Not Be Graded on Their Handwriting
58% Say Yes
I am for the motion. “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” It is a suitable saying for this statement. A kid may not have
good handwriting, but he or she could still be very very smart. For example, many great scientists’ handwriting is
horrible, but they have risen to the top of their fields. Plus, even some doctors have bad handwriting, but we don’t care so
much about it.

Remember the future. In the future, many jobs won’t be available because of the rise of robots and technology. In the
past, you would write a letter and send it. That was like 50 years ago. Now, we have emails. Everything will be
automated (自动化) soon. So is there even a point to having a debate on handwriting? NO, it really won’t matter at all!

42% Say No
Handwriting should decide students’ grades. This is because if your handwriting is bad, the teacher may not
understand what you have written even though your answer is correct. Therefore, I strongly disagree with this motion.
It’s worth nothing that handwriting doesn’t have to be very beautiful, but it can reflect (反映) a student’s attitude towards
his or her studies.

Handwriting is important. It may not play a big part in this modern world, but it’s still very important to many
people. In many jobs---more than most people think---having good, clear handwriting is necessary. If early on in schoolyou get graded on your handwriting, then you can improve on it and get a better job in the future. Also, it’s been
scientifically shown that children with good handwriting are able to spell and remember things better than children with
bad handwriting.

Why do kids need braces?
Do you have braces (牙箍) ? If not, you probably know someone who does. Even if you don’t have braces right
now, you might need them one day.
Braces are a way of improving how teeth look and how they work. The metal wires
work by putting pressure on the teeth, to slowly move them in the right direction. The
rubber bands help to adjust the alignment (排列) of your teeth. Working together, the
wires and rubber bands straighten your teeth and 65 .
Different kids have different feelings about braces. Some can’t wait to get them
because they know that they’ll improve their smile. Others 66 how braces will
change how they look. Many are afraid of being uncomfortable.
It’s Okay to have these worries, but kids who get braces often find they have no reason to worry. Braces are just tools
that dentists use to 67 the alignment of your teeth. Not all teeth grow straight, and this is 68 . But braces
can help straighten or move teeth so that they can do their jobs as well as possible.
Years ago, braces were made of thick metal that was very easy to notice. Today, they look much better. Sometimes,
you can get braces that go on the back of your teeth. 69 these developments, braces aren’t as noticeable today as
they once were.
Most kids have to wear braces for only a couple of years or so. After the braces are taken off, they may have to wear a
retainer (保持器) for a while. This makes sure the teeth don’t go back to where they had been before. With the help of a
retainer, their teeth will fit into their new 70 . Finally, they will be able to throw the retainer away and smile about
it!
65. A) move them up B) line them up C) mess them up D) hold them up66. A) talk about B) think about C) worry about D) complain about
67. A) correct B) check C) cancel D) connect
68. A) natural B) strange C) unusual D) ugly

The Value of Timekeeping
Are you often late for things? Do you wish you could be more on time? Lots of people
find it difficult to be on time. As the new school year starts, it’s good to brush up on
timekeeping skills.
Being punctual means being able to arrive somewhere, complete a task or meet
someone at an agreed time. Examples i 71 getting to your classroom before the lesson
begins, handing in your homework on time and arriving at a friend’s house when you say
you’ll be there.
Being late can feel stressful, not only for yourself but for the people around you. It also makes it easy to f 72
something important. “When I’m late, I feel disorganized and panicky (恐慌的).” says a student called Freddie. “But
when I’m on time, I’m more r 73 because I don’t have to run around looking for things.”
Being on time also makes you feel more prepared. Finishing a project early gives you e 74
time to make improvements. Packing your bags the night before a match or performance allows you to feel calmer and
more focused the next day. By being punctual, you’re telling yourself that your time matters, and you’re showing other
people that you’re reliable and you r 75 time, too.
Grace Pacie is an author who writes about lateness. She believes there are lots of reasons why people aren’t punctual.
Some aren’t good at measuring time; others dislike being early and waiting around. Pacie believes you can learn to be
more punctual by arranging to meet a friend on the way to school b 76 this will make you get out of the door
earlier. Or, if you don’t like waiting around, try arriving early but fill your time with something interesting like listening
to music or reading a book. It’s not always easy to change timekeeping h 77 .Taking small steps towards
becoming more punctual can help you feel calmer and more organized.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12分)
Here to Help
Dear Jordan,
I learned from the internet that you are a young activist (活动家). What you did was so inspiring! Now I want to
go out and do something to make a change in my community and become an activist myself! So I wonder: What does it
take to be an activist? How did you start? Can I become one?
Yours,
Carolina
Dear Carolina,
Anyone can become an activist if there’s an issue they feel strongly about. I started speaking up about disabilities
because I know what it was like to have one and to be treated differently because of it. When I was little, I wondered
why toy figures didn’t look like me. So at the age of ten, I wrote to ask a big company to do something about this
problem. I spoke about it on the news, and I even did a TED Talk about it. After more than a year of using my voice, I
got to work with a design team on a Barbie doll that uses a prosthetic leg (假肢). That experience showed me that the
more I spoke up, the more changes I might be able to make.
Sometimes, being an activist means stepping up and speaking up in a more public way than you normally would.Taking risks is a big part of being an activist.
Your age doesn’t matter. I know so many kids who are fighting for change. Mari Copeny, 13, is making sure people
have safe drinking water. Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson are both teenagers. Haven is raising awareness of
climate change, and Taylor is making sure that girls around the world are involved in STEAM education.
If you really care about an issue, learn as much as you can about it and find creative ways to speak up. Maybe it’s
writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Maybe it’s creating a club at your school or in your neighborhood. You
can work with other kids to unite your voices so as to be able to make a change.
You don’t have to do something as big as creating a new toy or speaking in front of a crowd. If you help even one
person learn and change, you’ve made a big difference!
Yours,
Jordan Reeves
