you imagine that several hundred years ago, tomatoes were seen as toxic food in europe?what made europeans believe this was john gerards publication of herbal in 1597. gerard wrote: “the leaves and stalks of the tomato plant are toxic.” undoubtedly, gerards opinion was based on a misunderstanding of tomatoes. but his opinion was widely spread in britain and north america for over two hundred years.in the late 1700s, a lot of europeans held more fears for tomatoes. a nick name for the fruit was “poison apple” because it was believed that aristocrats(贵族) got sick and died after eating them. but the actual reason was the pewter plates they used. since tomatoes are high in acidity, when placed on the plates, the lead(铅) in the plates would dissolve(溶解). this caused many deaths. unluckily, no one knew this at that time. so the innocent tomatoes were picked as the killer.today, more than one and a half billion tons of tomatoes are produced every year around the world. tomatoes are cooked in various ways. this healthy and tasty food finally wins its innocence(清白) back.28which of the following can be the best title for this passage?a. europeans fears for tomatoesb. history of tomato plantingc. why do people eat so many tomatoesd. how did the tomato prove its value29what does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 1 mean?a. delicious b. nutritious(有营养的)c. poisonous d. safe30whats the key point for the death of the aristocrats mentioned in the passage?a. tomatoes. b. the pewter plate.c. serious illness. d. chemical reaction.dstage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety, or fear which may occur in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience. it is most commonly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. it has numerous forms: heart beating fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth etc. in fact, most of the fear occurs before you step on stage. once youre up there, it usually goes away. thus, it is a phenomenon that you must learn to control. try to think of stage fright in a positive way. it heightens your energy, adds color to your cheeks. with these good side effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive. many of the top performers in the world get stage fright so you are in good company. stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disappear permanently. you must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly. remember “nobody” ever died from stage fright. but, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. if that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole time, try out some of the strategies(策略) as follows to help get yourself under control. realize that you may never overcome stage fright, but you can learn to control it, and use it to your advantage. strategies are as follows when the program begins:1) if legs are trembling, lean on table or shift legs or move.2) dont hold notes. the audience can see them shake. use three-by-five cards instead.3) use eye contact. look at the friendliest faces in the audience. remember nervousness doesnt show one-tenth as much as it feels. before each presentation, make a short list of the items that you think will make you feel better. dont be afraid to experiment with different combinations. you never know which ones will work best until you try. use these steps to control stage fright so it doesnt control you. once you are used to stage fright, you
