It was raining . I went into a café and asked for a cup of coffee.         I was waiting for my drink , I realized there were other people in the place , but I sensed         . I saw their bodies , but I couldn’t feel their souls(灵魂) because their souls belonged to the          .
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer , I saw a thin , small man           in front of it . “I’m Steve ,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “ I           talk with you . I’m busy ,” he said. He was chatting online and , at the same time , he was playing a computer game – a war game. I was        .
        didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek（电脑迷）,         not a word came out of          mouth . I touched his shoulder , but no reaction .I was unhappy . I put my hand in front of the monitor , and he started to shout, “Leave me alone!”
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me . I         and nobody showed any interest .

More and more young people in the US volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money . Here are some of their stories.

	Alice Hamilton, 17 I’m going to help the forest Center build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific . I will spend the whole summer living in a tent and breathing the fresh mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars . It will be a nice sport , and I will be able to do something good at the same time!
	Jason Moore , 18 This summer , I’ll volunteer with Special House Program. They build good , low-cost houses and sell them to the poor . They’ll teach me what to do , so I am going to help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.
	Trish Anderson , 16 I’m going to teach children choose and read books that they like . I want to be a teacher . Every day , I’m going to help children choose and read books that they like . I want to be a teacher , and I love children and reading , so this is going to be a great experience for me .

Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together . One day a family went to spend the day in the forest , and the son left his socks there . After the family left , a bear came by , found the socks , and decided to try them on. They fit so well , and he liked them so much that he wouldn’t take them off.
All the animals talked about the bear’s new look . Soon , in that forest, there began appearing squirrels (松鼠) in shirts , rabbits in shoes , and even rats wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head , telling animals , “This can’t be good .   △  !” But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion .
However , it wasn’t long the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees , stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn’t go into his hole without taking off his hat first . Even the bear , because of his socks , slipped (滑倒) from the river rock and almost killed himself.
When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they are going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor’s advice stopped having accidents . And the animals realized that they didn’t need clothes at all . Starting to wear them had been very dangerous , and they had only done it to make others admire them , and to get attention.

Which sentence can be put into      ?

The underlined sentence “it wasn’t long the first results of fashion-fever came.” probably means that “        .”

The story is written to tell us           .

What is “American” food ? To many people , American food means hamburgers, hot dogs , and fried chicken . However , are those the only kinds of food in the U.S.?
Except for Thanksgiving turkey , it’s hard to find a typical “American” food . The United States is a land of immigrants（移民) . When people move to America , they bring their cooking styles with them . So Americans eat food from many different countries. That’s why you can find almost all kinds of ethnic (异国风味的) food in America, such as Italian pizza , Mexican tacos (墨西哥饼) and Chinese fried rolls. But they don’t taste quite like the real taste of the food .
As a large country-style cooking, take a trip to New England and try seafood dishes , and travel through the Midwest for baked food.
Now Americans live at a fast speed and often have some fast food. One of the most common quick American meals is sandwiches . Some Americans also choose to eat unhealthy food, but others prefer “all natural” eating habits. They refuse to eat any food with additives(添加剂).
American culture is a good example of the saying : “You are what you eat.” The different kinds of food show the different kinds of personal taste . Anyway , it’s all American.

Which food is mentioned in the passage ？
①Hamburgers
② pan cakes
③ turkey
④ Chinese fried rolls
⑤ Italian noodles

The saying “You are what you eat” means           .

People can find almost kinds of ethnic food in America because          .

From the passage , we know that           .

Sit down with your children and talk with them in some ways they would like to earn money . You’ll be surprised and glad at the effort they will begin making.
Help your children chart their financial course in life, teach them basic money management skills, and their future will be brighter .
