A★★☆☆☆For many Koreans, kimchi is a food that they cannot live without! Kimchi is notistory. Experts believe that people beganjust tasty food. It’s also a part of Korean hmaking kimchi around the seventh century. The farming communities created kimchito provide vegetables all year round. At that time, however, kimchi was just a salted vegetable. It was not until five centuries later that people started adding tasty seeds and other plants. And it was not until the eighteenth century that people began adding the hot red pepper. This gave kimchi the red colour that it often has today. The nineteenth century saw the introduction of the Chinese cabbage to Korea. Koreans then started to use this vegetable to make kimchi.

ASince my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job， I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I’d got a permanent one.I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say “Where are you going？" I rushed out of the house in search of it. I was wildly excited， and as nervous as if I were going on the stage。

Finding the place quite easily, I tore up three flights of stairs, and swung breathlessly through a door which said“Enter without knocking, if you please.”The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me, and I sat down on the edge of a chair. The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me。

Then she questioned me in a low voice. I answered softly and started to feel helpless。

Unit3 单元测试卷（名师）Book 8 Unit 3 单元测试题一、阅读理解ADo you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I'm just a kid”, you might be! Don't worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor－Benjamin Franklin－got his start when he was only 12.At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. Finally, his creation led to what we know is called flippers!So, you don't have to be adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.So, what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model－called a prototype(原型) of your idea.Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea, so that it is protected and can't be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper(尿布)”, a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder. 1．By saying “But I'm just a kid”，you probably mean you ．A．are too young to achieve anythingB．can do anything though you are youngC．are old enough to become an inventorD．have to learn knowledge from other people2. Kids are most likely to be inventors probably because they ．A．would like to make friends with othersB．usually work hard at their lessons at schoolC．like playing all kinds of toys at homeD．think about things in quite different ways3．Who invented something that helps the blind to read?A．Jeannie Low.B．Benjamin Franklin.C．Chelsea Lanmon. D．Louis Braille.4. Which of the following can be the main idea of this passage?A．Kids have curiosity and imagination.B．There are some world-famous inventors.C．Kids are exactly like adults in a way.D．It is possible for kids to be inventors.BA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested onhumans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.5.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later6.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It's been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount.D. It's used in sleeping drugs.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health8.How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.二、语法填空When I called 1. my mother, she told me snakes came near the house now and then.
