I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量，品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. Thats where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there cant be moved at all.21 .

Why cant the writer forget Edison?ABecause he regards it as his hometown.BBecause his parents got new jobs there.CBecause there are many Asians there.DBecause it is in the state of New Jersey.Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(汤). On his sign he used the word restaurant to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help restore(恢复)your health in French the word restore is “restaurer” so he called the soups restaurants. Soon, people started buying Boulangers soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word restaurant to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More restaurants opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often. Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.25 .

He sat down, hung his head forward, looking at the food in front of him. Frowning, he began peeling the soggy milk-soaked bread (浸透牛奶的) from his sandwich. “This is the worst thing Ive ever done!” he said, “Its not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest. Its only two weeks away and I dont know what Im doing! Everybody will laugh at me. Theres no way to avoid it!” “Dont be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “Youre going to be great, Youre very capable. You have the skills to do just about anything.”Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Lets brainstorm a list of things you could do. Well divide the list into categories or groups. Lets start with music. You play the piano, right?”“I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny. “What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.Danny shook his head no. “Lets move on to another category.” “What about performing magic tricks?” asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.“I dont know how to play magic tricks!” Danny almost shouted. “Elena, how did I get myself into this huge mess?” “Stop being so” Elena paused, “Thats it, DRAMATIC!” Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.”Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!”Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.”30 .

Its not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient(方便的).We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even dont realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you.Since you know you have such a bad habit, its best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why youre so willing to perform that act.Find out how bad habits have spoiled(损坏，糟蹋) things around you.
