It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club．It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand over your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want．That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs．

Fundraising is a great way to help children learn social skills．It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask him for his money．They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school．If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride（不特別費力地）, and that is a learning lesson as well．

Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising．Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned into the school．However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson．Dealing with more Fundraising helps improve their schools．It is the children’s school．They have to learn there and grow there．Why not let them help in making it a better place?

Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child．The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips, or for the music club to go to see a Broadway play．The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money．Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed．

In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways．

The underlined word “inevitable” in the first paragraph means “_______”．

    A．unlikely    B．improper     C．unavoidable       D．unrealistic

One of the important indications that children are grown up is that __________．

A．children learn to care for others    

B．children can deal with money     

C．children like to make up     

D．children make a date with friends of the other sex

The author thinks that fundraising _______．

 A．a(chǎn)dds to the family’s burden               

    B．wastes the learning time

    C．builds up the children’s bodies

D．helps to develop the children’s character

Since 1950, the amount of information about the nutrition of food has increased by nearly 900 percent. Besides this fact, obesity has risen by 214 percent and nearly two out of every three adults in America are overweight or obese. Being overweight is not only an appearance problem, and it also increases the risk of various diseases including diabetes, sleep disorder and cancer.

With so much nutritional knowledge easy to find, we cannot simply ignore our present obesity epidemic(流行病). We know that fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin. Though we are overweight, many of us choose junk food over healthy food out of habits. One explanation for our strong desire for junk food is that we learn to connect junk food with positive feelings when we are young, and changing this attitude requires a huge amount of confidence and determination. Fortunately, new research published in May 2012 has shown a simple and accessible way to make healthier food choices- the one that doesn’t rely on great determination.

The research was based on two separate studies and it was carried out by T. Bettina Cornwell of the University of Oregon and Anna R. McAlister of Michigan State University. In the first study, 60 adults between the ages of 19 and 23 were questioned about the role of food and drinks. The survey tells us that adults prefer sweetened drinks with high-calorie, salty foods, to sweetened drinks with vegetables.

In the second study, 75 children between the ages of 3 and 5 were gathered for some experiments including drinks served with vegetables. The preschooler experiments were carried out under different situations and on different days. The researchers found that the children chose to take more green vegetables when they were served with water instead of a sweetened drink.

According to Cornwell, children learn to connect high calorie, sugary drinks such as cola, with high fat foods such as French fries, from a very early age. McAlister adds that early taste development appears to play an important role in food choices later in life. Meals served at home and meals offered at restaurants, set the stage for this idea and for the preference to choose junk food over healthy food, when beginning to take sweetened drinks.

“Our taste preferences are heavily influenced by regularly eating particular food and drinking particular drink,” states Cornwell. “If the drink on the table goes against both adults and children eating their vegetables, then perhaps it is time to change that drink… and to serve water with all meals. Restaurants could easily use water as free drink for children’s meals and charge extra money for other drinks.” Both McAlister and Cornwell are confident that serving water with meals could effectively reduce the nation’s obesity rates, diabetes rates and ever rising healthcare costs.

1.What may cause the risk of diseases according to the text?

A．Over nutrition.     B．Obesity.           C．Unbalance diets.    D．Junk food.

2.What makes many of us choose junk food according to the author?

A．Positive feelings about food.               B．High calorie of junk food.

3.The underlined word “accessible” in Paragraph 2 means”_________”.

A．quick             B．useful            C．easy to change     D．easy to get

4.From Paragraph5, we know that __________.

A．children may like sugary and high-calorie drinks even from an early age

B．early preference for food and drink may influence food choices later in life

C．easy preference for drinks should not be allowed in most of the restaurants

D．restaurants should provide the same food and drink as those at home

5.Which would be the best title for this text?

A．Stop children drinking sugary drinks

B．Drink water to eat more healthy

C．Change eating habits to lose weight

D．Eat healthy food at home

Dye (染料) can bring a little color to life. Most clothing is colored with dyes. Modern, manufactured dyes can be costly. Natural dyes from plant and animal products have been used since ancient times. So this week, we describe a natural way to dye wool.

There are several methods to put dye onto material. The vat method, for example, can be used to dye wool with onionskins. For this example, use one hundred grams of natural wool. The wool must be clean. Leave it overnight in water and liquid soap. Then wash it with clean water that is a little warm. Gently squeeze out the extra water.

A solution called a mordant (媒染) is used in the dying process. A mordant helps fix the dye to the material. Traditionally, mordants were found in nature. Wool ash is one example. But chemical mordants such as alum are popular today. Alum is sold in many stores. It is often mixed with cream of tartar, a fine powder commonly used in cooking.

Mix eight grams of alum with seven grams of cream of tartar in a small amount of hot water. Add the solution to a metal pan of cool water. Next, add the wool and place the mixture over heat. Slowly bring the liquid to eighty-two degrees Celsius. Heat the mixture for forty-five minutes. After it cools, remove the wool and wash it.

To prepare the dye solution, cover thirty grams of onionskins with water. Use only the dry, brown outer skins. Boil the liquid until the onionskins lose their color, about forty-five minutes. Remove the skins after the dye cools.

Now it is time to dye the wool. Place the wool into the dye and heat the mixture. Bring it to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to eighty-two degrees. Now heat the dye for about forty-five minutes or until the wool is the desired color. Keep in mind that wet wool looks darker than it is.

Once the dye cools, remove the wool and wash it. Now the wool is orange or yellow. Or at least it should be.

57. According to the passage, mordants are ________.

A. dyes used in the dying process

B. materials which will be put dye to

C. wood ashes used in the dying process

D. not dyes but play an important role in the dying process

58. Which of the following statements about “natural dyes” is true?

A. They might be cheaper than chemical dyes.

B. They are more expensive than chemical dyes.

C. They have been used for only recent years.

D. They are all made from animal products.

59. As for the vat method, which of the following statements is NOT necessarily needed?

A. Ash.                B. Water.           C. Mordant.              D. Temperature.

60. Choose the proper order of dying wool:

a. boil the liquid with onionskins.

b. add mordants to a metal pan of cool water.

c. wash the wool with clean water.

d. put the wool into the liquid and heat it

e. heat the mixture and then wash it.

A. c, b, e, a, d        B. e, b, c, d, a     C. b, e, a, d, c              D. a, b, e, c, d

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年吉林省高一上學期期末考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

It all starts with a tree．In fact, it starts with several trees．Since the first modern guitars were made in northern Spain over 150 years ago, crafts persons have known the wood to be used is important in making a guitar.

Every guitar is made of several different kinds of wood．Each piece is carefully chosen and then cut to fit the part of the guitar for which it is designed．The most important part of a guitar is the soundboard--the piece of wood with a large hole that lies under the strings(弦,線)．Guitar makers are careful to make the soundboard just the right shape and thickness．Then they fix stripes（長條）of wood across the inside in a special pattern, which helps strengthen the soundboard and improves the tone of the guitar.

Wood for the curvy (彎曲的) sides of the guitar must be soaked (浸濕) in water and bent over a hot iron pipe．When all the pieces of the guitar are ready, they are carefully stuck together with glue．Special woodworking tools are used to shape and smooth the neck of the guitar．The craftsperson must make sure that the neck is perfectly centered over the soundboard.

Then it is time to use varnish(亮光漆)．This brings out the beauty of the wood．Varnish also improves the sound of the guitar but too much varnish makes the guitar sound flat and dull.

Finally guitar strings are attached and tightened to make just the right musical tones．Then it’s time to play a song．(273 words)

1.The best title for this passage may be _____.
