    Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
    Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience. It's a "theater" cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.
    Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening's entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many Westerners would be unhappy by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we often have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.
    A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
    For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it's like a dinner party where my taste buds (味蕾) and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
4. What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China?
A. It has a history of over 1,000 years.
B. It serves people with many kinds of foods.
C. It is a fun social experience.
D. It keeps people very warm in winter.
5. How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?
A. More than four hours. B. Over one hour.
C. All the evening. D. About three hours.
6. We can conclude from the article that British people generally ______.
A. enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants
B. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
C. don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes
D. don't like sharing food with others in restaurants
7. What is the author's attitude to hot pot?
A. Enjoyable. B. Tired. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
C
    Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.
    The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of ﹩8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed.
    The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.
    Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and the job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.
    A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
    The big question is: if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.
    "These findings show that the teenagers' happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork."
8. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study in paragraph 2?
A. Money can make people become happier.
B. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
9. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that ______.
A. they are easy to communicate with others
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
D. they feel better about their life
10. The underlined word "gloomy" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. proud B. upset C. happy D. wealthy
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The secret of being wealthier B. The source of happiness
C. How to achieve your goal D. The way to educate kids
D
Baseball was always where my heart lay.However,my father did not care for baseball.Two sports he enjoyed were golfing and fishing,neither of which I considered a real sport.He didn't talk much and he wasn't good at expressing himself.Frankly,I wasn't sure he cared about me.In a way,my father was like a familiar stranger I saw every day.
One day,watching the play on television made me want a glove of my own.To my surprise,my father said he wanted one,too.We bought two gloves,and that evening,he suggested we go out to the courtyard and throw the ball around.I'd already practiced catching and throwing at school,but I could tell this was the first time for my father,because every time he caught the ball,it landed directly in his palm.If you've ever caught a ball with a baseball glove,you know how much this hurts.
But my father caught ball after ball this way.Slap!Slap!He winced （龇牙咧嘴）.After about five minutes,I told him I'd had enough.It wasn't out of mercy,but for my own self-interest.Neighborhood kids were watching and would no doubt laugh at me later for having an old man who didn't know how to properly catch a baseball.When my father took the glove off,his palm was red and swollen.
Dad,who passed away 11 years ago,never told me he loved me.But that sound of the baseball landing in his hand over and over again- it spoke its own tender language,though at the time,all I felt was shame.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______
A. The author's father don't like baseball.
B. The author's father didn't regard golfing as a real sport.
C. The author's father didn't care about the author.
D. Baseball is the favorite game of the author's father.
13. Why did the father want a glove？ ______
A. He wanted to make the author happy.
B. He was impressed by the play on television.
C. He wanted to show his improvement in baseball.
D. He was interested in baseball.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 3？ ______
A. The father didn't hurt when catching the ball.
B. The father didn't understand his child at all.
C. The author shouted at his father when playing.
D. The author didn't realize his father's love at first.
15. What could be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. A Crying Shame for Baseball. B. A Loving Father and His Son.
C. The Sound of Love. D. Love That Comes Late.
