The kids see well-known people _2_ potato chips, candy and other processed food, and they want to _3_ their heroes. How do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye, the sailor, who ate spinach and not French fries. Now I dont expect my children to eat healthy food because I like brown rive(糙米), beans, and fresh vegetables. Im glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really cant be too upset _4_ the kids because most _5_ arent careful about what they eat. _6_ night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers _7_ chemicals so that they looked better. _8_ the meat, they had sugar-filled cookies and cake, and, of course, chips. I dont want the world to change _9_ me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably dont get my essential proteins. I feel better than _10_ and I am sure that its because I am a vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, and natural food.( )1.

Hawaii has been a magical name to people who like to travel _2_ many years. People on _3_ sides of the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) , in Japan and in America, dream of _4_these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops so_5_ that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow(落日余辉) that lights the sky in the quiet water. People often have a quiet, enjoyable time walking along the water. This scenery is not very different from the exciting beauty that greeted the first tourists to these islands centuries ago. They came in canoes not much_6_than small boats. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees (棕榈树) , but there were no grand hotels like _7_ we see today. The first people came to Hawaii nearly_8_ years ago, but skyscraper(摩天大楼) hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now aeroplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo _9_ San Francisco. _10_people come from, they really want to see the earliest beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains which are almost hidden by the tall hotels. ( )1. A. many B. much C. any ( )2. A. by B. with C. for ( )3. A. both B. each C. either ( )4.
