Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied maths and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick.

Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲学). Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was invited to China in 1985 for the first time.

Food is one of the necessities in our daily life. It serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between countrysides and cities within one country.

Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

C. is a custom unique to rural areas D. has its roots in birthday celebrations

25. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______. A. analyzing causes C. using examples

Many years ago a kind farmer bought a tank(桶) of gas for a mom with two children. He didn't accept any money but just smiled and said, \it on to someone else.\mom was my mother. After many years, I had a similar experience.

A few weeks ago as my husband and I were filling up our car with a coupon(优惠卷) for 99 cents a gallon(加仑), I got into a long line to pay. I could see that the young man before me was having some kind of problem; I quickly realized that he had misunderstood the coupon and thought it was 99 cents to fill his small truck.

Everyone was saying,\cents a gallon is so cheap-they can't give the gas away.\He was embarrassed and was just calling his wife when I got to the counter.He said to his wife, “Just come here because I don't have enough money on me.”I asked the cashier(收银员) how much his was, and she told me.

I told her I would pay for it and touched the man on the arm and told him to tell his wife it had been paid for .He nodded and turned back to the phone, then stopped and looked at me.“What?”I told him again, and I was so surprised to see everyone stop what they were doing to watch me as if I had just grown another head. When he asked how he could give the money back to me, I just said, \else in need!\

27．Why did the author help the young man pay for the gas? A. She disliked waiting for a long time. B. She had learned something from the farmer.
