• 1．Have you ever been really hungry，but there wasn't much to eat in your kitchen？Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good？You aren't alone.Some of our favorite foods were created by accident.Here's a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn't created them by mistake.
     POTATO CHIPS
     One of the world's favorite snacks is the result of a complajye.ait.In 1853，a man was eating dinner at Moon's Lake House in Saratoga Springs，New York.He ordered fried potatoes，a popular side dish.But when they came out of the kitchen，he didn't think they were crispy enough.He sent them back to the kitchen，where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin，put lots of salt on them，and fried them.Not only did the diner love them，but everyone else did，too.They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.
     TOFU
     Tofu，or bean curd，is made by curdling （使凝结） fresh soya milk，pressing it into a solid block，and then cooling it.Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2，000 years ago，when a cook added seaweed to soya milk，which made it curdle.This is the same process that is used for making cheese.Like cheese，tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.
     CHEESE PUFFS
     Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs？The company that invented them wasn't even trying to make food for people.It was trying to make animal feed.In the 1930s，the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small，flaked pieces of grain.One day，an employee，Edward Wilson，watched workers pouring cornmeal （谷粉） into the flaking machine，wetting it to keep it from clogging （堵塞）.Because the machine was very hot，the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air.Wilson took some of the ribbons home，added oil and flavoring to them，and voila!Cheese puffs!
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？

  
  A．Seaweed is also used for making cheese.
  B．Chef George Crum didn't like to criticize others' cooking.
  C．Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air.
  D．Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China .
  （2）What do the three foods have in common？

  
  A．They are the results of complaints.
  B．They were not created on purpose.
  C．They weren't originally made for people.
  D．They are all popular throughout the world.
  （3）What's the purpose of the text？

  
  A．To compare the features of some foods.

• 2．Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office.I'd watch as he put his personal items away：his watch，wallet，comb and car keys.They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
     Dad's comb was jade green.I heard he bought it when he married Mum.Every night，he would smile，hand me the comb and say， "Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it，OK？"
     I was more than happy to do it.At age five，this kind of task brought me such joy.I would excitedly turn the tap on，and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could.Satisfied that I'd done a good job，I would proudly return the comb to Dad.He would smile at me，and place the comb on top of his wallet.
     About two years later，Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business.I started primary school.That was when things started to change.Dad's business wasn't doing so well，and our stable life started getting shaky.He didn't come home as much as he used to.And when he did come home，it was always late and I'd already be in bed.I started to get mad.Why didn't he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job？Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble？Over the years，I stopped waiting for him to come home，and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
     Now 28，I've graduated from college and got a job.Dad's business has also started to get back on track.Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.
     Two days before my birthday last year，Dad came home early.On that evening，I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual.When I turned to leave，he asked me to clean his comb.I looked at him for a while，then took the comb and headed to the sink.
     It was a new comb.This one was brown.I hadn't noticed that he'd changed it.After cleaning it，I passed it back to Dad.He looked at it and smiled.But this time，I noticed something different.My dad had aged.He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled，yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.

• 3．The prevalence of melanoma（黑素瘤）has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century.While some of the increase may be due to better detection，researchers also believe it's because we're spending more time outdoors in the sun，vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds.That rise is concerning，since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.
     Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot，sunny days，but when fall arrives，we tend to drop those habits.Experts warn that's a mistake.Though there's less need for sun protection after summer ends，exposure to UV rays still adds up.
     What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world.That's because the further away you are from the equator，the more UV rays weaken in the winter. "In southern England or Canada，the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day，" says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. "People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months."
     But no matter where you are，even during colder，lower risk months，it's a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. "It's important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow，" says Victoria Mar，director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne，Australia.
     Finally，you should monitor your moles（痣）. "Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment，" says Djye.aifey.If it's caught before it spreads to other parts of the body，the patient will have 99% of chance to survive for five years.If it's caught late，that can drop to 25%.Warning signs are a mole that's changing size，shape or colour，or one that's asymmetrical-sometimes referred to as "ugly duckling" moles.If you have concerns，talk to your doctor.
  
  （1）What's the main cause of the rise of melanoma？

  
  A．The climate change.
  B．Better detection.
  C．More exposure to the sun.
  D．The increase of skin cancer.
  （2）What's a mistake according to experts？

  
  A．Applying sunscreen in summer.
  B．Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.
  C．Using sunscreen during lower risk months.
  D．Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.
  （3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Prevention is better than cure.
  B．Health is better than wealth.
  C．A disease known is half cured.
  D．When the sun comes in，the doctor comes out.
  （4）What is the best title of the text？

  
  A．Detect Melanoma.
  B．Beware Winter Rays.
  C．Monitor Your Moles.
  D．Spend Less Time Outdoors.
