When I first visited China， Mum encouraged me9（try） different kinds of food and I did. I loved everything.

My friends and I were hanging out in Chinatown on a Saturday morning and followed a group of locals. We walked into a dim sum restaurant and found the host stand. No menu needed， we had been famished. I felt like I could eat a horse. Before being seated， I was nearly bowled over by carts （推車） a few times. We were taken to a big round table and were served with hot tea at once.

One of the carts that nearly hit me was pulled up beside us， and a Cantonese lady moved to the different round bamboo steamer baskets （蒸籠）. We looked wide-eyed and waited for her to tell us more about each dish， but that moment never came. She didnt speak English， and none of us knew Cantonese.

So we ended up with a few recognizable treats： steamed pork buns， egg custard tarts， shumai （a type of traditional Chinese dumpling） and turnip cakes. To the left， someone tasted steamed dumplings， and to the right， someones face was scrunching up （皺成一團） after tasting chicken feet. When I say I fell in love with shumai， please know that I fell hard. I had to order some more because the dumplings were too good to get lost in the crowd of bites.

While the small plates made me half-wish Id gotten twice the food， the feeling was so wonderful. Something about sharing dishes while sharing stories and laughs really made friends feel closer， and the meal being more enjoyable meant eating to the sounds of happiness rather than in terrible silence. Experiencing the whole tradition of tea and mouth-watering dishes really made me understand a culture that sees food as a means of bonding （聯(lián)系）. While the restaurant was exciting， we left feeling calmer and closer.

1. What does the underlined word “famished” in Paragraph 1 mean？

A. Very hungry. B. Really bored. C. Quite lucky. D. Greatly surprised.

2. When the cart was put before them， the author and his friends expected the lady to.

A. offer hot tea to them B. help them order dishes

C. apologize to them D. teach them some Cantonese

3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3？

A. He liked eating shumai very much. B. He couldnt find the way to his table.

C. He thought chicken feet were terrible. D. He chose dishes according to his friends tastes.

4. What did the author think of his experience at the dim sum restaurant？

A. It fell far short of his expectations. B. It let him realize the importance of sharing food.

C. It was so different that he was not used to it. D. It helped him have a new understanding of food.

Between school， homework， sports， your after-school job， and hanging out with friends， it may feel like theres no time for healthy eating. And when you have time， you may simply eat snacks like potato chips. 1 In fact， if you have a busy schedule， its even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going.

2 For example， you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet. Knowing how much food your body needs to satisfy this hunger is important. A few walnuts （核桃） are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework. 3

Healthy snacking is important to you. During teenage years， the body needs more nutrients （營養(yǎng)物） to grow. Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs.? ? ?4 Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda. Thats because eating these foods may help you stop feeling hungry for a moment， but they are bad for your health in the long term.

Choosing healthy snacks means shopping wisely. 5 We may find “all natural” on the side of a package but it doesnt necessarily mean its nutritious. For example， “all natural” juice drinks can be filled with sugar， which means theyll make you fat easily and give you little nutrition.

A. Its natural to feel hungry at certain times.

B. Healthy snacking doesnt have to be boring.

C. But you need to pay attention to what you eat.

D. If youre really feeling hungry， pay attention to it.

E. But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack.

F. But a whole bag only makes you put on weight easily.

G. Be careful of the health information on food packages.

Thats the key from The Personalized Diet，1new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran Elinav. The authors say its time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets dont work， and for nutrition （營養(yǎng)）， its about doing what works best for your body， not2（catch） the latest diet fashion. “For years， we have been trying to search3that silver-bullet diet and weve been4（lucky） failing，” Segal said. “And thats because the5（good） diet for each person really has to be adapted to that individual.”

They conducted a personalized nutrition project at Weizmann，6hundreds of volunteers agreed7（have） their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant （參與者） in the study， a woman8（name） Ruti， said she was surprised that it was tomatoes—not ice cream or candies—that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled， “I have now reduced my intake of tomatoes and Im feeling much more energetic， which still9（surprise） me.

A

Organic （有機的） food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food， but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However， there are people who think it is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals， such as pesticides （殺蟲劑）. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There werent enough organic ingredients， such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today， many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious （有營養(yǎng)的）？ This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria （病毒）， such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money？ This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However， organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

1. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers？

A. Price. B. Safety. C. Freshness. D. Variety.

2. What is the doctors suggestion？

A. Growing your own food. B. Limiting the use of pesticides.

C. Making sure the food is clean. D. Buying large companies products.

3. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food？

A. It tastes better. B. It is easier to grow. C. It contains more fat. D. It is more nutritious.

4. Where does the text probably come from？

A. A recipe book. B. A chemistry paper. C. A medical report. D. A health magazine.

Experts are warning about the risks of extremely picky eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss. Eye doctors in Bristol cared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency （缺乏）. Dr Denize Atan， who treated him at the hospital， said， “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham， and not really any fruit and vegetables.”

The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency， but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later， he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss.

He was not overweight or underweight， but he had lost minerals from his bones. In terms of his sight loss， he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight，” said Dr Denize Atan. “That means he cant drive and would find it really arduous to read， watch TV or recognize faces.”

Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating， and turn to experts for help. “Its best not to be anxious about picky eating， and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal. Its much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet，” she said， adding that too many certain vitamins， including vitamin A， can be harmful， “so you dont want to overdo it.”

5. What can we learn from Dr Denize Atans words in Paragraph 1？

A. The diet of the boy is unbalanced.

B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.

C. Picky eating is common among teenagers.

D. The cause of the boys problem is being investigated.

6. Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14？

A. To improve his diet. B. To get help to lose weight.

C. To be treated for his discomfort. D. To slow down his sight loss.

7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A. Important. B. Useful. C. Necessary. D. Difficult.

8. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？

A. Reasons why the boy is ill. B. Advice for parents worried about picky eating.

C. Suggestions for the boys family. D. Ways of taking in enough vitamins and minerals.
