Dave Murbach needs 11 months. Almost every day of every year, Murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattans Rockefeller Center each Christmas season. “Im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. Its like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” And if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “Every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says. This years tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2. The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments. The search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense enough not to see through. Thats not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.” Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “Its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. Thats what I hope it sets off.” But Murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.21. Which is the correct order of the events in the passage? a. Murbachs thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree. b. 2.5 million people watch the Christmas tree. c. The tree is flown to New York. d. It was lighted on December 2. e. The tree is chopped up. f. Murbach searches for the tree. A. a, b, c, d, e, f B. c, d, b, f, e, a C. c, d, e, b, a, f D. a, f, c, d, b, e22. Why does Murbach take his job seriously?A. Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice. B. Because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.C. Because he enjoys showing off. D. Because he wishes to attract peoples attention to himself.23. According to Murbach s standard of trees, the best tree must _. A. be evergreen B. have lots of space between their branchesC. be tall enough not to see through D. be equally balanced BBook clubs help to create a reading-friendly environment and encourage people to continually develop and strengthen their skills.

We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes its an ingredient(配料) in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices(香料) like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh！” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly because a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.28Who discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao?AThe workers in the chocolate factory.BThe Spaniards.CThe people in England.DThe owner of a chocolate factory.29According to the passage which of the following statements is true?ANobody had the idea of adding sugar until the sixteenth century.BThe word “chocolate” comes from a Mexican word.CThe beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them.DWorkers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste.30The Spaniards think that cacao was a medicine because _.Ait was strong and bitterBit was good for digestionCit cured mans diseasesDit was a kind of drink for good health31Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?aChocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.bA factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.cThe Spaniards started drinking cacao.dIt was found that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.eA factory mixed milk and chocolate together.Aabcde BcdebaCcdabe DcdbeaDService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains.
