In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed (包装的)lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were lots of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews(炖肉) and curries (咖喱菜肴) for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”
1. How many meals do most children in the UK have at school

A. stews and curries B. burgers and pizzas C. chips and fizzy drinks D. sandwiches and coke

C. schools have begun to cook healthier food D. the government doesn’t care about school dinners

A new study shows that fat people in the United States suffer direct economic and social effects because of their size. The findings are from an 8-year study of about 100,000 people. The people who were studied were between the age of 18 and 24 when the research began.
The researchers who carried out the study say they consider the people fat if they are in the top of 5% of the measurement in which weight is linked to height. For example, fat women in the study were about 160 centimeters tall and weighed about 90 kilograms. Fat men in the study were about 175 centimeters tall and weighed 100 kilograms. The researchers say that more than 1,000,000 Americans are that big. The researchers found that fat young women were from wealthy families. The fat women also were 20% less likely to get married and they earned an average of about $6,700 a year less than other women. The study showed less severe effects on fat men. They earned an average of about $3,000 a year less than other men. Fat men also were 11% less likely to get married.
8. The passage mainly tells us __________.
A. the standards of fat people B. the number of fat Americans
C. fat people have fewer advantages D. how long is the study

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface (表面)”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our
happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace – it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside – a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”
12.The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.
A.after Mother died B.before she became a writer
C.when she was a child D.when Mother gave it to her
13.The passage shows that_________.
A.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B.Mother was too serious about her daughter in words
C.Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
D.Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words
14.What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness
A.She had never received the letter. B.For years, she often talked about the letter.
C.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. D.She read the letter again and again till she died.
15.What’s best title of the passage
A.My letter to Mother B.Mother and children C.My Mother’s Desk D.Talks between Mother and me

Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had in class about whether it is good or bad for families to have private cars.
With the development of the people’s living conditions, more and more people have their own cars. Some people think it’s good to have private cars. Firstly, it is a convenient, fast ,and comfortable means of transportation. Secondly, it shows people are becoming richer and that the country is becoming stronger .Thirdly, the fact that people buy cars make other industries develop faster. However , others have different opinions. They think cars give off waste gases, and pollute the environment heavily. Too many cars will have bad effects, leading to more accidents. Besides, parking cars is another problem. In short , people should think carefully before they buy cars.
Yours truly ,
Li Hua
