In those times, we didn't have the communications or airplanes or many kinds of transport that we do now. So the master went to India 16 . He had never been to India before. And when he 17 , he saw a lot of fruit. In India they had plenty of 18 to sell, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much 19 the water situation(情况). So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was 20 in the shop, not expensive at all. So he went up and asked, " 21 a kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two Rupees." Two Rupees in India is 22 , just like waste paper. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But 23 he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became 24 . As he coughed and was nearly out of breath, he jumped up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're 25 , man. Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People put just 26 into food for taste. You can't just eat them like that; they're not fruit!" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I 27 money for them, and now I'll eat them. It's my money!" Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We invest(投资) money, time or effort in a relationship, business or job. And even though it's been a long hard time, and we know there's no more 28 that things will change in the future，we still continue just because we've invested money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and 29 so much but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid. So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's 30 than continuing to lose. ( ) 16. A. by car B. by taxi C. by plane D. on foot ( ) 17. A. got there B. arrived here C. reached here D. got home ( ) 18.

D Why are first ladies so important in the United States? They are unpaid and have no official work? There are several reasons, but the most important reason is they are role models for other women in the United States. Jacqueline Kennedy was the best first lady in the US.

Now, some of us students like buying a lot of snacks. They eat a lot even if they were not hungry. If they don’t like the food, or they can’t eat up the food, they will throw it away. It is really a bad thing. We have wasted lot of food. And at the same time, it is bad for the students’ health. So boys and girls, let’s change our habit. When we have dinners in restaurants, don’t order too much food. And try to eat up all the food we ordered. If we can’t eat up all of them, just pack them and bring them back home to eat. Please give up the snacks between meals. Encourage your classmates and parents to join us. If you find somebody is throwing away food, just stop them. Come on, dear friends. Let’s start with ourselves.
