VI. Reading
(A)
Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some reason, we cannot obtain it. It has been known to man for at least 3 ,000 years, but has come into common use only in modern times. Until quite recently it was considered as a medicine and as a luxury for the very rich only.
Sugar is, then, very important to our civilization. But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. This common form of sugar is derived from two plants: the sugarcane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows under ground). But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties, each coming from a different source.
About 90% of the sugar is produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed more than in the past.
There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated energy foods. Thus sugarcane and sugar beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000, while the figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land growing wheat, beans and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar.
1. The heading of Paragraph 1 may be_______.
A. What Sugar Is
B. Sugar through the Ages
C. The Advantages of Sugar
D. Present and Future Uses of Sugar
2. The third paragraph emphasizes______.
A. about 90% of sugar used as food
B. only 10% used in industry
C. sugar used for making plastic
D. future uses of sugar
3. Sugar has been used widely_______.
A. for 3,000 years B. in modern times
C. quite recently D. for 300 years
4. How many common forms of sugar are exemplified in this passage?
A. One. B. Two C. One hundred. D. Several hundred.
5. The main reason why we should increase the production of sugar is that______.
A. it tastes sweet
B. we can save plenty of land
C. we can get more food
D. it's one of the most highly concentrated energy foods

Directions: Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
A.Determine what will make tomorrow special.
B.Regardless of what else has happened in a day,ending it with thanks is a rewarding approach.
C.Finish the task as far as possible before you leave.
D.Keeping your inbox empty makes you more effective.
E.In fact, a whole unproductive day can end with just 15 hyper-productive minutes.
F.Nothing else throughout your day could possibly be so bad.
There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction for a job well done. 52 Here are five ways to help you do just that:
Empty your inbox.
__53__ You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life. If you want an empty inbox,it means everything is in a particular spot:either in the trash,or sent to someone else.
54
If you leave a tiring and undesirable task until the next day,you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of fear. On the other hand,try to complete the task before you leave the office,and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory.
Do something nice for someone else.
The key here is intentionality. Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life—a partner,friend,family member,customer,etc. You will feel better when doing a good deed to others.
