“Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that Mrs. Archer has taught us. It is a simple rule,
but it’s not a rule everybody chooses to follow.
This morning, I had an experience with a “rule breaker” during an English exam. I felt somebody was
watching me a little too closely. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat right behind me. My eyes caught
his and he said in a low voice. “I hope you studied for this test!” I gave him a smile, not sure whether he was joking
or not, and returned to my test. This time I leaned (倾身) a little more closely towards my paper, “I can’t see!”
James said.
“What am I going to do?” I thought to myself. Cheating (欺骗) went against my beliefs. I curled my arm
around my answers.
“He’s your friend, and what are friends for?”
“You know it’s wrong.”
I tapped (轻敲，轻拍) the top of my desk, hoping for an easy way out of this matter. No easy answer came. I
just knew I had to do what I felt was right, even if it made James mad. So I guarded my paper so that he couldn’t
see my answers.
When the exam ended, I stood there for a moment, searching for the right words to say to James. “Sorry,
James, but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating,” I said slowly and softly. “But
maybe I could help you study before the next test.” “OK, Brian,” he smiled. “It might not be easy, but I’ll give it a
try.”
I felt happy that my friendship with James hadn’t been destroyed (破坏). Mrs. Archer would be proud.
11．Who taught the rule “Keep your eyes on your own paper”?
A．James. B．Brian. C．Mrs. Archer. D．A boy on the left.
12．Where did the writer sit during an English exam?A．He sat behind James. B．He sat next to James.
C．He sat in front of James. D．He sat across from James.
13．Which three actions had the same purpose?
① I gave him a smile.
②I tapped the top of my desk.
③ I curled my arm around my answers.
④I leaned a little more closely towards my paper.
⑤ I guarded my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers.
A．①②③ B．②③④ C．②③⑤ D．③④⑤
14．Who said the two underlined sentences and in what way?
A．Brian, silently in his mind. B．James, in a low voice.
C．Mrs. Archer, slowly and softly. D．Brian and James, to each other.
15．Why did the writer think Mrs. Archer would be proud?
A．Because he and James helped each other in the exam.
B．Because both he and James did very well in the exam.
C．Because he didn’t let James copy his answers in the exam.
D．Because he followed the rule and kept friendship with James.

If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it，how can you tell whether it's still eatable? The easiest
way is to check the use－by date printed on the cover.If that date has already passed，you're likely to throw the
candy away.But is that really necessary? According to a report，tons of food is wasted each year，largely because
people don't fully understand what use－by dates actually mean and they think the food is not safe to eat.
Use－by dates were introduced in 1975 because customers wanted more information about the things that
they were eating.When they first showed up，use－by dates only showed freshness because producers wanted their
products to be tasted in their best conditions.
However，most customers mistakenly believed that use－by dates showed how safe the food was.But the
truth is that these dates aren't related to the danger of food poisoning(中毒)．Eggs，for example，can still be
eaten three to five weeks after being bought，even though the use－by date is much earlier.When their use－by
dates pass，cookies may lose their delicious taste，but they are not harmful.
“It's an unclear subject，the difference between food quality and food safety，” said Jena Roberts from a
US food testing company.Even workers in the food factory are not sure about it.This is why the use－by dates mustbe printed on the covers of products.“We hope it can help customers understand the information so that they won't
waste a lot of food.”
But this won't be a mistake that is easy to correct，because people have believed it for so long.As a result，
food factory officials are now thinking about turning the use－by date into a date which can show when food is
most likely to be thrown away.
16.What can we know from the first paragraph?
A．Every year most factories produce too much food for people.
B．People throw away food because they think it is unsafe to eat.
C．It's necessary for people to throw away tons of food every year.
D．The use－by dates are wrongly printed，so people throw away food.
17.Most customers thought use－by dates meant ________ when they were first printed.
A．food freshness B．food producers
C．food safety D．food nutrition
18.Which of the following information can describe the use－by date?
A．SN66015972306795500
B．806725A166949
C．BETTER IF USED BY Apr.11th，2022
D．Energy：549 KJ 7% Protein：1.4 g 2% Fat：7.4 g 12%
19.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Food factory officials are planning to change use－by dates.
B．Most people care more about food freshness than food safety.
C．Eggs cannot be eaten three to five weeks after people buy them.
D．Workers in the food factory know clearly about food quality and food safety.
20.What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Different kinds of food.
B．Food freshness and quality.
C．How to choose healthy food.
D．The use－by date and food safety.
