Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day.

Some of the most basic challenges, - however, -are not having clean water and toiletries (卫生用品)-a big problem for homeless teens. That encouraged a young researcher to invent a multi-purpose product to help these teens.I was born into a life of volunteering, said 13-year-old Leia Gluckman. And thats true. Her mom is a president of an organization providing help for homeless teens. Leia and her brother have volunteered there for years. When she was a young girl, Leia helped serve food where teens were eating. Now shes a teenager herself, and shes managing the toiletry and clothing work there.From her work at the center, Leia noticed that teens asked for some toiletries more than others. What they needed most often were toothpaste, body powder (粉)and shampoo(洗发水).Leia wondered whether she could create a product to serve all three purposes.It would need to take away dirt and oil from skin and hair. It would need to clean teeth. Also, it would need to kill bacteria (病菌)without being harmful to people. She wanted her ingredients (产品成分)to be natural, to be able to break down easily and to taste and smell pleasant. Moreover, this product had to be lowcost and have a long shelf life.Leia started by going to stores and looking at the ingredient lists for toiletries. Then she tried eight different ways. She tested each way to see how well it worked.Not all of them worked well. But she finally decided on three. Each includes salt and baking powder. Salt helps clean teeth and skin; baking powder helps take in bad smells. She also has some other recipes which include some special materials that give her products different tastes and smells, which would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences.It wasnt easy, but Leia came up with some model products. She presented them at the finals of Broadcom MASTERS science competition.Leia wants to develop her products further. Could it possibly be used to drive away mosquitoes (蚊子)? she wonders.Science offers a way to go about solving problems and helping people, says Leia. And she thinks her products could benefit a great number of people, not just the homeless. Anyone in an area with little or no chance to get clean water could find her products useful, maybe refugees (难民) and soldiers who are sent to places without running water.（1）What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A . Leia has lived a life of volunteering for years.B . Leia and her brother helped their mom for years.C . Leia was born in a great family of volunteering.D . Leias mom set up an organization for homeless teens.（2）Leias products meet homeless peoples needs mostly because . A . they are cheap and naturalB . they can offer personal choicesC . they are used to drive away mosquitoesD . they can serve three purposes with little water（3）According to the passage, we know that . A . Leia invented the product in order to win the MASTERS competitionB . Leias invention came from her will to create and to help othersC . The family influence played a decisive role in Leias inventionD . Leia believed that science could help solve problems easily5. （3分）阅读理解 Our culture is the system we use to build our identity. All living creatures are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? Its the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines for doing things. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis.Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community （社会）groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are automatically expected of all members of that society. Often, cultures can be identified（识别）by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes a society forms around people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do.Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions（情感）connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result. People are learning better ways to communicate with each other. The more we learn, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures.（1）Which of the following is not true? A . Every society has its own culture.B . Everyone with an identity card has his own culture.C . Animals have their cultures.D . Culture and traditions are connected.（2）Which of the following has nothing to do with culture according to the passage? A . A religion that a certain people practiceB .

Modern societies have written down all the rules for behavior.B . Plants themselves have no culture.C . Disagreement between two societies always leads to war.D . Strong emotions that connect us to our society should be got rid of.（4）We can infer from the passage that .
