• 2．That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was，walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre．With opening night only a week ago，I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．
      As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold．I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets．
      About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk．
      Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found．
     Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me．When a voice called from the inside， "Alisa Camacho？" I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye． "Is this what you're looking for？" he asked，holding up a small square shape．
      It was nearly 3 A．M．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn't get much sleep that night，but I had gotten my wallet back．I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other．
  
  （1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work？

  
  A．Cold and sick
  B．Fortunate and helpful
  C．Satisfied and cheerful
  D．Disappointed and helpless
  （2）On her way home the writer

  ．
  A．lost her wallet unknowingly
  B．was stopped by a garbage truck driver
  C．was robbed of her wallet by an armed man
  D．found some homeless people following her
  （3）In the fifth paragraph，why did the writer say she was dreaming？

  
  A．Someone offered to take her back home．
  B．A red-haired man came to see her．
  C．She heard someone call her name
  D．Her wallet was found in a garbage truck．
  （4）From the text，we can infer that the writer

  ．
  A．would stop working at night
  B．would stay on in San Francisco
  C．would make friends with cleaners
  D．would give up her job at the bank．

• 3．Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world．Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish？But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West，and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-- the ancient custom of "tonic food"．
     Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness．For instance，it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil （麻油） hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth．It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles，reduce pain，improve circulation，stimulate sweating，and warm the body．Some foods，such as goat meat and spinach，are seen as "hot"，while others，such as Chinese cabbage and radishes，are seen as "cold"．One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot" or "cold" food．However，how much "hot" or "cold" food one should eat depends on the time of the year，how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with，and the individual's health．
     The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry．Chinese herbal medicines，such as wolfberry （枸杞），can be found on many a restaurant menu，either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish．These herbs attract customers，such as overworked office staff，in need of a modest pick-me-up．
     So，whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup，or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup，you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for．
  
  （1）What is the present situation of tonic food？

  
  A．It is catching less attention．
  B．It is enjoyed by many young people．
  C．It is well-known worldwide．
  D．It is becoming increasingly popular．
  （2）What is believed to benefit new mothers？

  
  A．Chinese cabbage．
  B．Fruit tea．
  C．Sesame oil hot pot．
  D．Fish soup．
  （3）Which of the following best explains "catering" underlined in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．Medicine
  B．Restaurant．
  C．Manufacture．
  D．Agriculture．
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
  B．The Popularity of Tonic Food
  C．An Introduction of Chinese Tonic Food
  D．Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food

• 4．Strangers Under the Same Roof Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument？Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded？Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything？You are not alone．Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents．
     Teenagers' physical changes may result in such family tensions．You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends，shooting up in height or getting left far behind．You might worry about your changing voice，weight problems or spots（粉刺）．When it all gets too much，your parents are often the first targets of your anger．
     It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too．You enter a strange middle ground --- no longer a small child but not quite an adult．You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents' love and support．You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own．Unfortunately，your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy． "Why can't they just let me go？" you may wonder．On the other hand，when you are struggling to control your feelings，you wish they could be more caring and patient---sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride．It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult．All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship．
     Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family you can take action to improve the situation．The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication．When you disagree with your parents，take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view．Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain．After you have thought it through，explain your actions and feelings calmly，listen carefully，and address their concerns．Through this kind of healthy discussion，you will lean when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control．
     Just remember that it is completely a common thing to struggle with the stress that parent child tensions create，and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship．The good news is that this stormy period will not last．Everything will turn out all right in the end，and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood．
  
  （1）The first paragraph is mainly introducing

  ．
  A．the importance of close family relationships
  B．the quarrels between teenagers and their parents
  C．the wall of trust between parents and their teenagers
  D．the common conversations between parents and children
  （2）What mainly causes the teenagers family tensions according to the author？

  
  A．Their parents' attitude towards them．
  B．Parents' strict control over their teenagers．
  C．Parents' expectation on their children's development．
  D．Teenagers' physical changes and their mental needs．
  （3）What would the author agree according to the passage？

  
  A．Parents should let go of the control over their teenagers．
  B．Teenagers should always follow their parents' points of view．
  C．Parents and teenagers should always keep open conversations．
  D．Teenagers should not depend on their parents' love and support．
  （4）The author thinks the stress that family tensions cause is

  ．
  A．normal
  B．terrible
  C．avoidable
  D．natural
