Teenagers won’t spend a day without any meal. Some kids like eating round the table and they seldom smoke to lose weight.Researcher Barbara Fiese said, “It is true that teenagers don’t want to be around their parents very much, and they are just too busy for regular（定期的）meals with the family”.Parents may not be able to get the family together around the table seven days a week. However, it will be helpful to their children’s health in some ways if they can have three family meals a week.Teenagers who share three meals with the family eat healthier foods and have better eating habits. Teenagers can also use family meals as a time to talk with their parents.29.Why don’t teenagers have meals with the family?A. They have to have meals at school every day.B. They are too busy and don’t have time for meals.C. They don’t want to be with the family very much.D.

It’s important to eat well every day.B. Teenagers should not smoke to lose weight.C. Teenagers who eat with their parents are healthier.D. Teenagers without regular meal will often get ill.CThe United States is one of the greatest fruit-growing countries in the world. Fine red apples come from Washington and New York. Golden oranges come from Southern California and Florida. Fruit grows in all parts of America. The kind of fruit that is grown depends on the weather in each place.Orange trees cannot be grown where temperatures (温度) drop below freezing. Southern California and Florida are far from each other, but their weather is much the same. They do not often have cold weather.In Washington, apple trees are planted near the Atlantic Ocean. In New York, they grow near the Great Lakes. Apple trees are often planted near water. Water temperature changes more slowly than land temperature. Near water, temperature does not drop (下降) so fast. There is less chance of frost（霜冻）in late spring or early autumn. Frost can kill apples.Another famous fruit in America is cranberry. It grows in some parts of the USA, mostly in northern parts. It has pink flowers and people can use the fruit to make juice. It is also ingredients (配料) for turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. People can use its fruit in other ways, for example, people can make it into medicine and it’s very good for people’s health.America has many kinds of weather. It also has many kinds of soil. Because of this, they grow and eat more fruit than any other country in the world.32.How many kinds of fruits are talked about in the article?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five33. What the underline phrase “depends on” mean in Chinese?A. 取决于...B. 按照...行动C. 对...做出反应D. 对...有影响34.

Why Americans grow more fruitsDChristmas was always an amazing time in my home when I was growing up. My parents were not rich, but they were always generous when it came to giving us presents. Every year, they held a Christmas Eve party and gave all the kids in the neighborhood presents as well. One year when I was eight years old, I hoped that I would get a bike for Christmas. One day, I told my parents about it. On the Christmas morning, all the kids got present after present. When we got to the end of presents, I was disappointed（失望的）. There was no bike for me, I cried, “Is that all?” After I said it, I knew I made a big mistake. After all, my parents worked so hard. How could I complain（抱怨）I did not get a bike? My father said nothing and wentoutside. He came back with a bike. In fact（事实上）, they planned to give it to me after the end of the other presents. At that time, I felt even worse than before. How could I ever enjoy it after that?My parents told me to think about how I felt when I got the bike. They told me to remember that feeling. I thought I would never repeat that mistake again.In the four years after that, when all the presents were given, my mother would us me what I wanted to say to everyone. It became a family joke. I would always say, “Is that all?” But what it really meant was “Thank you so much”.
