Many people who have lived in big cities and small towns think that people walk faster in the
cities. They always seem to be 1 . A group of scientists decided to find out if city
people really do walk faster.
The scientists found out that city walkers move at almost 2 the rate of walkers in
small towns.
Why do people in the cities walk faster? Maybe it’s because they are more nervous. Maybe
it’s because they have more 3 to go. What do you think is the 4 ?

A. poisonous B. almost C. health D. rule E. sick

Do you know that one part of a plant may be eaten while another part of the same plant may
make you 1 or even kill you? This is true.
People can eat cherries, but the twig(细枝)of the cherry tree is 2 . Peaches are good
for people, but the leaves are risky to eat. So are the leaves and stems of tomato and potato plants.
Perhaps the most dangerous is rhubarb(大黄). While the stalk(茎)is tasty and good for the 3 ,
the leaves have even killed people.
The best 4 to follow is this: Unless you know it is safe, never eat any plant.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案):
We often forget that people in other countries eat different things from us．In some
countries．for example，rice is a staple food．In others，such as Britain and America，bread made
from wheat is the most important food．In many African countries a kind of corn called maize is
the most important food．

sour pork，shark’s fin soup are very common．In Thailand and India people eat any different
curries．They like their food hot and spicy．In England，a favorite dish is roast beef. The Italians
eat pasta，which is a kind of noodle made from wheat．French food is very famous everywhere．It
is often very rich．
In recent years fast food—sometimes called ‘junk food’—has become very popular all over
the world. It was invented in the USA，and the first fast food was the hamburger．Interestingly，
a hamburger does not actually contain ham．It’s made from ground beef There are restaurants and
takeout places selling hamburgers in most cities of the world．
The most international food，however，is Chinese．There probably isn’t a city anywhere that
does not have at least one Chinese restaurant．This is because there are so many different dishes
from so many different parts of China that there is something for everyone，whatever their favorite
kind of food．

It snowed again. My seventh Christmas was round the corner(即将来临的). I dreamed of
getting the present from Father Christmas until my elder sister dropped the bomb（炸弹）. “There
is no Father Christmas.”
I ran to my grandmother’s house, for she always told the truth. Grandmother was at home. I
told her everything. “No Father Christmas?” she was a little 1 . “Don’t believe it. Put on
your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go? Where，Grandma?”I asked.
“Kerby’s Store.”
We walked through its doors. Grandma handed me the dollars and said, “Take the 2
