　　As a kid，I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf.I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake.Times have changed.Cage-free？Organic？Brown？White？Omega-3s？Help！Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should choose：

　　●Brown or white？In fact，color is simply a sign of the breed of hen.Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern.

　　●Extra Omega-3s？Omega-3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed (亚麻籽)，which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E．The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase.My opinion？Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure dose of Omega-3s.Let eggs be eggs.

　　●Does your egg need exercise？Free-range eggs are from hens raised without the confines of a cage，though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors.Organic eggs are from hens whose feed must meet organic standards.These hens must be raised humanely，and they must be given time to stay outdoors.Hey，happier hens do lay tastier eggs.

　　●Does local make a difference？Nothing is better than local eggs.They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect shape and they may or may not be certified (证明) organic；however，they have one quality I prize：I know exactly where my food came from and how it came to be！In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what the hens were fed.

　　1．What does the author think of Omega-3 eggs?

　　A．They are a good choice for people to purchase.

　　B．They contain fewer Omega-3s than fresh fish.

　　C．They have the highest content of pure Omega-3s.

　　D．They are not the best source of Omega-3s.

　　解析：选D。由第三段最后两句话可知，要想补充Omega-3脂肪酸，吃一片新鲜鱼就可以了，不必挑选含有这种成分的鸡蛋。即D项正确。

　　2．The underlined part “Free-range”probably means“__________”．

　　A．wild

　　B．organic

　　C．special

　　D．Omega-3-free

　　解析：选A。根据第四段第二句话中的from hens raised without the confines of a cage可知，free-range eggs是指放养在野外(wild)的鸡生的蛋，因此选A。

　　3．According to the passage，which of the following has nothing to do with an egg’s quality?

　　A．The egg’s color.

　　B．The hen’s exercise.

　　C．The hen’s living conditions.

　　D．The hen’s food.

　　解析：选A。由第二段可知，鸡蛋的颜色不影响鸡蛋的质量，鸡蛋不同的颜色只是因为鸡的品种不同。

　　4．This passage is most probably taken from a book named __________.

　　A．Shopping Skills

　　B．Eggs and Cooking

　　C．Raising Hens

　　D．Healthy Diet

　　解析：选D。文章讲述的是有关健康饮食方面的事情，因此选D项合理。

　　B

　　Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or sleep restfully.It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time.A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then，next morning，feel that he hardly sleep all night.Normally，worry about not getting enough sleep is the

　　worst aspect of most insomnia.If insomnia is recurrent，however，it is important to find its causes and try to correct them，with the help of a doctor if necessary.

　　Any of a large number of simple factors may take it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep.His matters may be too soft or too hard.If there are too many blankets on a hot night，he may be too warm；if the bedclothes are too light he may feel cold during the night.If it is not dark enough，or too noisy，this may cause difficulty in sleeping.Eating shortly before going to bed also be responsible for insomnia.Stimulating drinks，such as tea or coffee，can also keep people awake.

　　Inability to fall asleep is sometimes a symptom of emotional or mental disorders.Insomnia may also be caused by pain and，very rarely，it can be a symptom of a physical disease.

　　The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct.The sufferer should check the mattress，bedclothes and bedroom temperature，and make any necessary changes.An eye mask keeps out the night and earplugs shut out sound.He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime，perhaps by reading a book，watching TV，or taking a warm bath.If he wakes during the night he should try turning on the light and reading for a while.Taking warm milk and a biscuit or two may be helpful.Above all，he should try not to worry about sleeplessness.When someone is tired enough he nearly always falls asleep.

　　If necessary，a doctor may prescribe tranquillizers or sleeping pills.Take only the dosage he prescribes；any more is dangerous.

　　A．a rare problem

　　B．a sign of illness

　　6．Which of the following statements is NOT the cause of insomnia?

　　A．Too many blankets on a hot night.

　　B．Drinking juice.

　　C．Emotional or mental disorders.

　　D．Physical pain.

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。文章第二段和第三段分析了失眠的原因，其中之一是喝了提神的饮品(茶、咖啡等)，但没有提及喝果汁影响睡眠。其他三项在文中均有提及。

　　7．Insomnia needn’t be taken seriously because ________.

　　A．people can catch on sleep during the day

　　B．many people sleep far too much

　　C．it can easily be cured by doctors

　　D．it is cured naturally by tiredness

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。依据文章倒数第二段的“Above all，he...asleep.”可知，当一个人特别疲惫时就能睡着，所以不需要担心。
