When you cough or sneeze(打噴嚏), please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I noticed adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(細(xì)菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit.” That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said—just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put advice to use more often.
小題1:The writer of this article must be _________.
A．a(chǎn) reporterB．a(chǎn) teacherC．a(chǎn) doctorD．a(chǎn)n officer
小題2:What does the underlined word “this” mean?
A．Don’t cough or sneeze in front of people.
B．Don’t stand beside someone who coughs or sneezes.
C．Many people cough or sneeze on the underground train.
D．Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and say sorry.
小題3:After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to _________.
A．say “God bless you” immediately
B．wash their hands as soon as possible
C．go to see a doctor as soon as possible
D．go home and have a good rest
小題4:According to the article, the writer would like the kids _________.
A．to be polite to adultsB．to be in better health
C．to have good mannersD．to do well in exams

My interest in Chinese food started many years ago, when I had my first job. I was a young reporter for the Daily Journal in San Francisco. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown. I usually managed to arrange my time so that I could go there at least two or three times a week for a good meal.
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. And since then, it just tastes better and better to me. The first thing I noticed was the fresh tastes of the meat and vegetable. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
About 5000 years ago, China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor management of its forest. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to learn how to use it better.
In order to use less wood in cooking, they started to cut their meat and vegetable into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in the manner kept its fresh flavor(風(fēng)味)--- and its this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking.
I often wonder if the Chinese appreciated their solution to that ancient energy problem as much as I do now --- whenever I eat Chinese food.
小題1:This passage is mainly about ___________.
A．why Chinese food tastes fresh
B．what Chinese food tastes like
C．how Chinese food is cooked
D．what makes Chinese food special
小題2:The author got to know Chinese food _______________.
A．when he worked as a reporter in China
B．from a news story in the Daily Journal
C．a(chǎn)fter he got a taste of it in the Chinatown
D．before he got his first job in San Francisco
小題3:The author thought the Chinese cut meat and vegetable into small pieces in order to _____________.
A．keeping its fresh flavor
B．saving their hard –to-get wood
C．producing a different kind of food
D．a(chǎn)ttracting westerners to their food
小題4:The word “ fuel” in the 4th paragraph most probably means ____________.
A．fresh flavorB．meat and vegetable
C．hot oilD．firewood
小題5:According to the passage, the special freshness of Chinese food is the result of _______________.
A．the wood used to make the cooking fire
B．the fast speed at which it is cooked
C．the high quality of Chinese meat and vegetable
D．the well –developed art of Chinese cooking
