一、阅读理解
There is a piece of bad news for chocolate lovers.Experts announce that the world could run out of chocolate within 40 years because it is difficult for cacao plants to live in a warmer weather condition.
Cacao trees can only grow within about 20 degrees north and south of the equator(赤道)，and they need to be planted under some special conditions such as in some warm places with abundant rainwater.
Now cacao beans are mostly provided by two African countries: Ivory Coast and Ghana.However，the rising temperature is doing harm to the cacao trees now，because there will be less water in the soil for the plants to grow with the
higher temperature.That means by 2050，cacao production areas might need to be moved thousands of feet uphill into the mountain area which is carefully protected for wildlife now.
According to a research，a Western consumer(消费者)eats an average of 286 chocolate bars a year—more if they are from Belgium.To produce these 286 bars，10 cacao trees need planting.And now more and more chocolate lovers appear in many countries，but the fact is that the production of cacao beans is becoming less.
Doug Hawkins，from London based research firm Hardman Agrubusiness，said production of cocoa is under strain(供应紧张)as farming methods have not changed for hundreds of years.Some reports say cocoa growers in the world's top
producer country，Ivory Cost，have illegally(非法的)grown cacao plants in protected forests to meet the market needs.Mr.Hawkins calls it “destruction(毁灭)by chocolate”．
The good news is scientists are now trying to change the plants' DNA to make it keep growing healthily in warmer weather.But they say it is unknown how long it will take.

A．It will be difficult to produce chocolate.
B．There might be no chocolate in 40 years.

Dear John，
It's fantastic that you will come to China and spend the Dragon Boat Festival with a Chinese family. Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional festival to honor a great poet named Quyuan. On that day, there are some dragon boat races in some places, which are really interesting to watch. Chinese people also make zongzi in different shapes with various tastes.
As for the table manners, you'd better keep quiet when eating and drinking soup. Also, it's impolite to use chopsticks to hit an empty bowl. Another thing is that you are not supposed to stick your chopsticks into the food. Anyway, your host family will go out of their way to make you feel at home.
Enjoy your stay in China.
