I was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question—What is a good person?

At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students—a young man of about 30—described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.

So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student’s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of your toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up one toy, and his father said to him, “No, no－give him your favorite toy.”

And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.”

And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.

What do you think happened?

After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face lighted up. “Daddy,” he said, “can I do that again?”

I think I have got the answer to the question.

1.From the passage, we can learn that in Mexico ________.

A. begging is looked down upon

B. begging is considered as a normal part of life

C. visitors all over the world treat beggars kindly

D. few people are living a poor life

2.The sentence “Daddy, can I do that again?” showed that the boy ________.

A. got pleasure by helping the little beggar

B. wanted to please his father

C. began to like the little beggar

D. wanted to be the little beggar’s friend

3.According to the writer, “being a good person” means ________.

A. having the courage to correct his/her mistakes

B. being friendly to beggars

C. being ready to give

D. being able to teach children to tell right from wrong

Is It Worth Buying Organic Food?

Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (商標(biāo)). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.

The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. "We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. "So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."

For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.

While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both

organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.

Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.

1.The new research questions whether organic food __________.

A. should replace traditional food

B. has been overpriced by farmers

C. is grown with less harmful chemicals

D. is really more nutritious and healthier

2.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.

A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease

B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods

C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe

D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food

3. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?

A. Organic chicken and pork.

B. Organic milk and chicken.

C. Traditional chicken and pork.

D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.

4.What is the author's attitude toward organic food?

A. Sceptical. B. Neutral. C. Unconcerned. D. Approving.

Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn’t be made without talking to others first. There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advices and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked. For another, friends may stop you make big mistakes.

When consulting others about important decisions, you should keep two things of mind. The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respect enough to trust their judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In word, making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.

Last weekend, I went to the nursing house with some volunteer to visit the elderly. On arriving at there, we found some old people seating in the yard, expecting us. We went forward to greet them. Some of us chat with them happily, but others read newspapers for them. The scene looked so nicely. At 10100, we put on performances, like singing and dancing. Then they played games together! How great fun it was!

I had great day in the nursing house that day. As the elderly needs our love and care, I decide to visit them every month.
