Most people agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.
OpenTable app
OpenTable app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurant available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations(保留，预定), which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.
Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app
Wine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses? Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app can help. It provides information about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to pair with each. Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app is free.
HappyCow app
Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world.
LocalEats app
Restaurant chains, like McDonalds, can be found almost anywhere a person might travel. But sometimes travelers want to eat like locals. The LocalEats app is designed for that. It can help you find local restaurants in major cities in the US and in other countries. It costs about a dollar.
Where Chefs Eat app
“Where Chefs Eat” is a 975-page book. Most people would not want to carry that around. But there is a much lighter app version of the same name for just $15. Six hundred chefs provide information on 3,000 restaurants around the world on the Where Chefs Eat app.

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.
4. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that .
A. the time is too short for doctors B. the patients are often too nervous
C. the damage is extremely hard to fix D. the blood-cooling machine might break down
5. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain .
A. can last as long as 30 minutes B. can keep the brain’s blood warm
C. can keep the patient’s brain healthy D. can help monkeys do different jobs
6. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?
a. send the cooled blood back to the brain
b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down
d. operate on the brain
A. a, b, c, d B. c, a, b, d C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a
7. What mainly makes the brain operation possible?
A. Taking the blood out of the brain. B. Trying the operation on monkeys first.
C. Having the blood go through a machine. D. Lowering the brain’s temperature.
C
If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex in public instead of in secret.
Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. You can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
8. We should keep in touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT .
A. with a good state of mind B. in real friendship
C. in public D. in secret
9. If you are a shy person, you can .
A. find friends with the same interest and hobby
B. only have a few friends of the same sex
C. not make friends with the other sex
D. not fall in love with other students easily
10. What does the underlined sentence probably mean?
A. Don’t get into the habit of early love. B. Don’t be addicted to early love.
C. Don’t be trapped in early love. D. Don’t be confused by early love.
11. The main idea of the passage is to .
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C. tell students how to make friends
D. teach boys how to talk with girls

D
Twelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.
Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.
For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.
Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.
With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.
My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.
12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.
B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.
C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.
D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.
13. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?
A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.
B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.
C. Because he went there to help the poor.
D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.
14. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .
A. had lived with his relatives happily B. had won his degree in a university
C. had been struggling financially D. had lost hope of facing the future
15. From his experience, the author learns that .
A. people can learn a lesson from difficulties
B. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar city
C. people should not give up even in trouble
D. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。
Just now, I entered the website “Topic for Today”. I feel 41 (interest) in the report on middle school students’ using cell-phones on campus. In fact, more students now come to school with cell-phones. My schoolmates have different opinions. Some think it is 42 (convenience) to get in touch with others with the cell-phone, and it also makes you feel safe 43 (especial) in time of trouble. Besides, 44 is nice to enjoy various functions of different cell-phones.
Others think differently. First, the cell-phone is not a must in school, as there 45 (be)
some IC phones there, 46 (make) it easy to call others. Second, many students often play e-games and send e-messages with their cell-phones, even in class, which will surely have bad
47 (effect) on their study. What’s more, a great dea
