　　I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate“Yes! ”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.

　　But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stepped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.

　　Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter!

　　Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

　　Drink your milk.It’s good for you！” You’ve probably heard that many times，and it’s true.Milk contains calcium，which is a necessary nutrient for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong.The U．S.government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program，saying that students should drink one cup of fat­free or low­fat milk at each meal.

　　Last Thursday，however，a group of doctors asked the government to remove milk from the lunch program.The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says，“Milk is high in sugar，high in fat and high in animal protein，all of which have negative effects on health.” “One of the only reasons people talk about dairy，or promote it，is that it is going to help build strong bones，” says Dr.Neal Barnard，president of the PCRM.There are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans，broccoli，cereals and tofu.Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient.

　　Of course，calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth，but your genes，how much vitamin D you take in and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day all play a part.

　　Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important.Keri Gans，a dietitian，says，“I think it’s irresponsible to take away this beverage that children enjoy，especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day，and remove it from the lunch line.”

　　The U．S.government is studying the request of the PCRM，but a decision may be a long way off.Meanwhile，Marion Nestle，a professor at New York University，puts it best：“Milk has nutrients.Other foods have the same nutrients.It’s just a food.Like other foods，too much might be a problem.”

　　1．Why does the US government ask students to drink one cup of milk at lunch time?

　　A．They have been told many times.

　　B．They have taken the PCRM’s advice.

　　C．Fat­free or low­fat milk is less expensive.

　　D．Milk helps build students’ strong bones.

　　2．The underlined word “beverage” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “

　　”．

　　A．gene

　　B．idea

　　C．milk

　　D．lunch

　　3．What can we learn from Marion Nestle’s words?

　　A．Milk has more nutrients than other foods.

　　B．Milk is just a kind of common food.

　　C．Other foods also contain much calcium.

　　D．Too much nutrient lies in other foods.

　　4．What does the above text mainly talk about?

　　阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。

　　Towards the end of Middle English,a sudden change in pronunciation started,with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter.From the 16th century the British had contact with people from around the world.This means that many new words and phrases entered the language.The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print.Books became cheaper and more people learned to read.Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect of London became the standard.In 1604,the first English dictionary was published.

　　The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ.Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors:firstly,the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words;secondly,the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface,and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.

　　From around 1600,the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America resulted in the creation of American English.Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America.In some ways,American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English.Some expressions that the British call “ Americanisms” are in fact original(原先的)British expressions that were preserved(保存)in the colonies but were lost in Britain.Spanish also had an influence on American English,with words like canyon,ranch,stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English.French words and West African words also influenced American English.
