Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

29. We can infer from the text that humans and animals ______.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food

B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways

D. eat entirely different food

30. Certain animals change their choice of food when ______.

A. the season changes    B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places  D. they are attracted by different smells

31. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. French and British food is good

B. food is chosen for a good reason

C. some people have few choices of food

D. some people care little about healthy diet

D

The most common problem that worries all of us today is the fear of insecurity. Life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.

There are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of success. Not being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.

The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yourself. Self belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow your self-belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.

In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.

32. According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?

A. The low abilities.    B. The lack of security.

C. The loss of self-confidence.  D. The severe competition in life.

33. What does the underlined phrase “gives a wide berth to” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Introduces something to.   B. Holds a birthday party for.

C. Makes friends with.    D. Keeps away from.

34. What is the function of the first paragraph ?

A. To explain the meaning of self-confidence.

B. To explain why self-confidence is important.

C. To show the main topic – to be self-confident.

D. To show the reasons that affect one’s self-confidence.

35. In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.

A. should not forget his failures  B. should follow others’ advice

C. should not lose heart    D. should believe life

Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other.   36  . It is reported that American parents today spend about 40 percent less time with their children than parents did a generation ago. To keep your family time creative and enjoyable, below is a list of helpful family time tips.

1. Eat together & listen to each other

Most children today don’t know the meaning of a family dinnertime. Yet the communication and unity built during this time is necessary to a healthy family life. Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives.   37  .

2. Read often

It’s important for parents to read to their children. The latest research shows that reading to your children develops an interest in knowledge and contributes to language development. It also increases their concentration on things and helps them become more curious.   38  . After reading, ask questions about what the books are about.

3. Start a hobby or project

Choose a fun activity that your children are interested in. Activities like cooking, fishing or biking can be their great hobbies.   39  . Once a child learns a new skill, let him or her take the lead under your direction.

4. Plan a family outing

40  . Jump into the family car and go for a drive. Prepare a picnic lunch and visit a local park. Take time to play or ride a bike. A slow and relaxing walk in the woods will help parents communicate with their children better. Also, a visit to the zoo or museum will inspire enthusiasm in a child and lead to long discussions.

A. It is very important for children to exercise.

I love camping. It is my favoritest way to spend the summer vacation. Last year, my

family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had

never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the

food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed

fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t

cost many to camp, and what I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.
