While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge(稀饭), eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.‎ My mother preferred to know where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed ＂sick＂ in order to miss school.‎ The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at night the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all kinds of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do.‎ My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her child received higher education. None of us have ever been taken away by the police or divorced. So she forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me ＂mean＂. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.‎ ‎24.

From the text we learn that the author ______________.‎ A. dislikes her mother B. is very grateful to her mother C. is polite to her mother D. is tired of her mother C In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. ＂Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food — I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?＂‎ ‎ Well, Carlin pretty much has it right — there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries — like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes — is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.‎ Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence — an experimental psychologist from Oxford University — points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching — green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.‎ But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes — while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?‎ ‎28. George Carlin’s words are placed at the beginning of the passage to ______________.‎ A. show the author’s opinion B. tell a famous person C. introduce a TV show D. lead in the topic ‎29. Which of the following statements of blue is true?‎ A. Blue is not a very popular color for foods. ‎ B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.‎ C. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural. ‎ D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.‎ ‎30. Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ______________.‎ A. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods ‎ B. our taste experience can be influenced by color C. people prefer red-colored foods to green foods ‎ D. before eating, people watch food for a long time ‎31. The underlined words ＂is dyed＂ in para. 4 are closest in meaning to ＂______________＂.‎ A. is eaten up B. has grown up C. is changed in color D. is harmful to D Argentina lies in the South America.

People have different opinions on this. ‎ Some students agree. Firstly, the Internet can help them make various friends. Secondly, they can express their feelings and thoughts freely. Besides, chatting on line is also helpful for our language study.‎ ‎ However, other students have the opposite view. They think making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. In addition, some students get cheated on line.‎ ‎ In my opinion, students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us. / From my point of view, making online friends is not a bad thing if we’re careful enough. Anyway, Internet widens our eyes and enriches our knowledge. However, we shouldn’t spend too much time on it and sometimes be careful with the people we chat with. Only in this way can making online friends be valuable to us. ‎ 听力材料 Text 1‎ M: The bus is always late.‎ W: I know. I’ve been waiting for it for half an hour.
