It is not clear who first fried potatoes in hot oil. However, it is widely agreed that French fries(炸薯条) were prepared as early as the 1700s in Europe. Most people believe that it was the Belgians (比利时人), instead of the French, who invented “French ”fries. They think that French fries got this name from the cooking word “to french ” --- to cut green beans into long thin strips (条).

When Thomas Jefferson traveled to France, he enjoyed the deep-fried potatoes very much and brought them home with him. Ever since he served French fries to his guests at a Whitehouse dinner in 1802, the dish has become very popular in America.

In the summer of 1853, an American Indian called George Crum worked as a cook at Moon Lake Lodge, a hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was good at making French fries. One evening, a dinner guest found Crum ’s French fries too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. Crum then cut and

http://www.77cn.com.cn 中国校长网

中国校长网资源频道 http://zy http://www.77cn.com.cn these, too, were met with disapproval. angry. So he decided to play a trick on the guest. He finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork. To his surprise, the guest loved the browned, paper-thin chips. The browned chips, then called Saratoga Chips, became one of the most popular dishes of the hotel. Soon they were being sold, first in local restaurants, then throughout New England.

A. the early 1700s

B. the early1800s

C. the early 1900s

D. the summer of 1853

About 45 percent of Americans don ’t get enough sleep, according to a recent survey. However, the benefits of getting enough sleep far outweigh the thrill of watching TV for one more hour or surfing the web. Getting a better night ’s sleep will help you lose or keep your weight more effectively. Try these simple steps to improve your quality of sleep.

Take time to relax

So many of us go-go-go until it ’s time for bed, but it ’s important to take time to slow down and relax before sleeping. Do relaxing things, such as listening to soothing (抚慰的) music or deep breathing. Avoid stimulating (刺激的) activities such as writing e-mails, talking on the phone and watching TV. Some guidelines (指导方针): no e-mail after 8 p.m. and no TV or phone calls after 9 p.m..

Darker is better

Your body regulates your sleep cycle in response to the presence and absence of light, so dim the lights as evening approaches. Try getting ready for bed by candlelight. When you ’re ready to sleep, make sure your room is as dark as possible.

Put your thoughts to bed

We all need time to process our day, but bed is not the place to do it if you want to sleep well. Take 10 to 15 minutes to record your thoughts in a journal. This effective technique will capture what ’s in your mind so you don ’t lie awake. Tell yourself you ’re putting your thoughts to bed so that you can go to bed.

No sugar or alcohol before bed

These may wake you up. If you need a snack before bed, make it protein.

Try to get more sleep

Dogs have an understanding of fair play and become angry if they feel that another dog is getting a better deal, a new study has found.

The study looked at how dogs react when a companion is rewarded for the same trick in an unequal way. Friederike Range, a famous researcher, and her colleagues did a series of experiments with dogs who knew how to respond to the command “give the paw ”. The dogs were normally happy to repeatedly give the paw, whether they got a reward or not.

But that changed if they saw that another dog was being rewarded with a piece of food, while they received nothing. The dogs hesitated significantly longer when obeying the command to give the paw. Eventually, the unrewarded dogs stopped cooperating.

Researchers always assumed that only humans pay close attention to unfairness. That changed in 2003 when Frans De Waal, a professor of psychology, and a colleague named Sarah Brosnan did a survey on monkeys. Monkeys had to hand a small rock to researchers to get a piece of cucumber(黄瓜) in return. However, the monkeys would suddenly become angry when receiving the piece of cucumber if they saw another monkey receive a more delicious reward, such as a grape, for doing the same job. The monkey that got the cucumber would eventually throw away the food and the rock, and would later just stop performing.

In that experiment, the monkeys considered the fairness of two different types of payment, but when Range and her colleagues did a similar study with their trained dogs, testing to see if dogs would become upset if they only got bread when other dogs received sausage, they found that dogs did not make that kind of subtle (细微的) distinction. As long as the dogs got some kind of food payment, even if it wasn ’t the most delicious kind, they would play along.

63. The dogs refused to give their paws when they _____________________.

A. were given too much reward

B. realized they received less food

C. found another dog was given nothing

D. felt they were being treated unequally

http://www.77cn.com.cn 中国校长网

中国校长网资源频道 http://zy http://www.77cn.com.cn “that ” A. the dogs obeyed the command happily

B. the dogs waited for a reward

C. the dogs hesitated to give the paw

D. the dogs stopped cooperating

65. The monkeys would become angry if they found _____________________.

A. they were being given the same type of food

B. another monkey did much less work

C. another monkey was offered tastier food

D. other monkeys threw food and rocks

66. Range finds that, compared with monkeys, dogs __________________.

A. enjoy playing interesting games with humans

B. prefer to do the same jobs as humans

C. pay little attention to the type of reward received

D. aren ’t sensitive to the stimulation (刺激) of food

D

Workplaces all over the UK are preparing for Christmas and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will this Christmas be a cause of happiness and celebration, or of disappointment and embarrassment?

At this time of year, colleges show their appreciation of each other by doing a “Secret Santa ”. Secret Santa involves people who work together buying gifts for each other without saying who they are from.

Co-workers all write their names on pieces of paper, then organize a lottery in which each worker picks a colleague ’s name at random. He then has to buy a present for that colleague, usually on a small budget of five or ten pounds.

Since the givers are unknown, the quality of presents can vary greatly. In an Internet survey of Secret Santa presents, the gifts that people received range from tickets to the opera to an air freshener for a car.

Another common workplace tradition is the office Christmas party, at which workmates put on their best clothes and enjoy lots of free wine.

Most parties go without a hitch , but sometimes the alcohol cause party-goers to behave in a way that they later regret.

The BBC invited people to share their most embarrassing Christmas office party stories, and received hundreds of funny ones. For example, a man split his trousers while dancing; a drunken lady spent the whole night with the edge of her dress folded into her pants, and later looked at photos that proved it at work.

But the funniest story must be that of Stuart Vanies, who got so drunk that he put his boss ’s head into the toilet. Unsurprisingly, he was fired the very next day.

67. How many Christmas traditions are mentioned?

A. One.

B. Two.

C. Three.

D. Four.

68. We learn from this article that for Christmas ____________________.

A. few people buy presents for their colleagues in Britain

B. British workers write their names on the presents they give their colleagues

C. people usually give their colleagues presents of high quality

D. British workers buy their presents based on an agreed budget

http://www.77cn.com.cn 中国校长网

中国校长网资源频道 http://zy http://www.77cn.com.cn “without a hitch ”A. quite smoothly B. without a result

C. with some difficulty

D. quite unexpectedly

70. The examples in the last two paragraphs are to ______________________.

A. show that most British people enjoy drinking wine

B. advise readers not to drink wine at parties

C. prove that funny things often happen at office Christmas parties

D. criticize the bad habits of the British

Dear Peter,

I’m writing to express my thanks to you. You are both my teacher and my friend. My English has improved greatly thanks to your creative help. At one time, I was too shy to speak English, especially in front of others. It was your encouragement that helped me overcome my difficulties and enabled me to express myself clearly. Now I’ve become more outgoing, and of course speak English much more fluently.

I’m also grateful for the summer camp at which I got to know you. I learned a lot about American culture there, and will always remember the days we spent together. I hope we can be friends forever.

Best wishes to you, and have a nice trip.

Yours truly

Li Hua
