More than forty years ago, a group of artists gathered to develop a television program. They planned to make a television show that would teach young children about subjects like reading and math in a fun way.

Sesame Street was first shown on TV on November 10th, 1969. It was produced by a group called The Children’s Television Workshop, and today it was called The Sesame Workshop. The show combines animation (动画), music, large puppets (布偶) and human actors to create funny and creative lessons. Some of the most famous characters on the show are Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and Bert and Ernie. Puppet maker Jim Henson created these lovely characters.

Research is an important part of what made Sesame Street special. The show’s creators studied children very carefully to understand how to best keep them having fun and learning. When the show was first introduced to children, some of its creators were not sure whether it would last one season. But forty years later, Sesame Street is the longest running children’s

If you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend. Try to get away from fast food and choose slow food.

For years, the pace(节奏)of life has increased for many people. They are too busy to cook. Luckily, there are business people who take the chance to provide a “fast” way to deal with the problem. You can go to the supermarket and buy cooked food. All you have to do is to heat it and you can enjoy your meal in 10 minutes.

Still too slow? OK, just go to a fast-food restaurant, order your meal and within 5 minutes it will be made for you.

The problem is health. Fast food has much more fat, sugar, salt, oil and calories(卡路里)and far fewer vitamins(维生素) than homemade food. And so, since people have always wanted to live longer, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organic(有机的)food.

Another reason for changes in eating habits is social. Over the centuries, mealtime has been used to visit, laugh and learn. However, today most of us are having a very different lifestyle! Some people have realized it and they are looking for ways to return to that. Goodbye, McDonald’s.

Finally, it makes you feel good to plan your meal, cook your meal and see your meal

looking like the picture in your cook book. So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a homemade meal.

14. Why do many people buy cooked food in the supermarket? A. It saves them time. B. It saves them money.

C. They think it’s delicious. D. They think it’s a fashion to eat it.

15. The writer thinks we just have to wait________ minutes at most for our meal in a fast-food restaurant.

A. three B. five C. eight D. ten 16. Fast food is low in______.

A. sugar B. salt C. vitamins D. calories 17. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Visiting friends. B. Enjoying slow food.

C. Having a different lifestyle. D. Eating in a fast-food restaurant.

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read fast.

Perhaps your teacher has told you to break some bad habits and keep some good ones of reading. Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions: ? Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently? ? Do you point to words with your finger as you read? ? Do you move your head from side to side as you read? ? Do you read one word at a time?

If you answer “yes” to one of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, you can hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between them while reading. You may know it and then stop them.

If you point to words, you can hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use while reading.

If you move your head, you can put your chin(下巴)in one hand to hold your head. If you read only one word at a time, you need to work very hard to read more words at each glance(一瞥) as your eyes move along the lines of words.

Even if you read fast now, learn to do even faster. Fast reading is to read whole groups of words at each glance and let your eyes move along the lines of words as fast as you can. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster. 18. If you answer “no” to the questions, we can tell that you______.
