題目列表(包括答案和解析)
My interest in Chinese food started many years ago, when I had my first job. I was a young reporter for the Daily Journal in San Francisco. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown. I usually managed to arrange my time so that I could go there at least two or three times a week for a good meal.
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. And since then, it just tastes better and better to me. The first thing I noticed was the fresh tastes of the meat and vegetable. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
About 5000 years ago, China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor management of its forest. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to learn how to use it better.
In order to use less wood in cooking, they started to cut their meat and vegetable into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in the manner kept its fresh flavor(風(fēng)味)--- and its this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking.
I often wonder if the Chinese appreciated their solution to that ancient energy problem as much as I do now --- whenever I eat Chinese food.

As I was finishing seventh grade, my school decided to make some changes because of financial
(財(cái)政)problems. The school would make the classes bigger，so there could be fewer teachers. We
needed to write down the names of all my close friends.
I found out that none of my close friends were in any of my new classes. Also, my new classmates
were quite different from my old ones. I thought they weren’t as smart as my old classmates. They also
weren’t in the school activities I was in. I couldn’t find common interests with them .
As the year went on, I began to feel lonely and envy people in other groups. Why could they be with
all their friends? As I found out, they didn'
t 
have many friends at first. They had made new friends in their
new classes. They seemed pretty happy with their new friends.
I decided it was time for me to make new friends. I noticed that the people with many friends were
very active. They often talked to others first, while I was too scared to talk to others and hoped other
people would talk to me first.
Once I realized that, I found that making friends is very easy if you can accept people for who they
are, respect them, and talk to them. Now I feel a lot happier because I have more friends.
