Freedom by Jonathan Franzen is one of the most repeatedly praised books on this years list of favorites. It tells about the ups and downs of the Berglund family over many years. Mr. Franzen fills the book with sharp observations about American politics, culture and society.Jennifer Egans book A Visit from the Goon Squad takes place in 13 chapters over 40 years. The story moves back and forth in time, from different viewpoints. One main character is former rock musician Bennie Salazar who works for a record company. The other main character is a troubled young woman named Sasha who works for Bennie. The reader learns about their pasts and those of their friends.The main character in The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is a failing English Language newspaper published in Rome, Italy. Each chapter of the book tells about a reporter or editor working for this paper. Their stories are filled with intelligence and great personality.Two of the most popular nonfiction books of 2010 were about rock and roll stars. Just Kids is by rock singer Patti Smith. It tells about her friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 1970s before they became famous. Life is the autobiography of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

A Visit from the Goon Squad.BMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grownups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less takeaway food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.45. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A. Those who often watch television. B. Those who often take exercise.C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school.46. The word “steering” underlined in the last sentence most probably means _. A. forcing B. driving C. guidingD. moving47. The main purpose of the text is to _. A. tell a story B. provide facts C. compare opinions D. give advice48. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How many children get overweight. B. What is healthy eating.C. Why children get overweight. D. How to prevent children from getting overweight.C来源:Z,xx,k.ComFamous as “the king of chefs(厨师) and the chef of kings”, Auguste Escoffier helped raise the position of cooking from a laborers task to an artists job. Escoffier was born on October 28, 1846, in the small village of VilleneuveLoubet, near Nice, France. Among the key figures in the boys life was his father, who worked primarily as a blacksmith(铁匠). His grandmother, an enthusiastic cook, was perhaps more responsible than anyone for introducing the boy to an appreciation of the delights of cooking.Young Escoffier attended the local school until age 12, upon which time his father thought it necessary that the boy learnt a trade. In school he had shown a talent for drawing, yet he was told to regard this art only as a hobby, and to find his career in a more practical profession. Thus his father took him to Nice in 1859, where he would work as an apprentice(学徒)in his uncles restaurant, the respectable Le Restaurant Francais.At Le Restaurant Francais, Escoffier was not treated as the close relative of the boss. Rather, he experienced a classically demanding apprenticeship. For this strictness of training he would later, in his memoirs(回忆录), express gratefulness. During this time Escoffier also attended night school, and had to deal with his studies as well as the demands of a promising career.When Escoffier was 19 and had taken on yet more responsibilities in his uncles restaurant, a customer recognized his skills and offered him work in Paris. This was the owner of Le Petit Moulin Rouge, one of the finest restaurants in Paris, where Escoffier was to become a souschef, ranking below the head chef. After three years in this position, he rose to the level of head chef, wearing the respected chefs hat.49. It was his _ who first influenced Escoffier to be interested in cooking.A. father B. mother C. grandmother D. uncle50. We can infer that as a schoolboy, Escoffier might hope to be _. A. an artist B. a businessman C. a chef D. a blacksmith51. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become a chef in France. B. The early life of a famous French chef.C. What an apprentice is required to do. D. The influence of Auguste Escoffier.DI had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal(谷类), eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean(吝啬的) mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace(丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, Im now trying to bring up my three children. Im filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.52.
