My interest in cooking started when I was 11， partly thanks to my mother． She didn't really like cooking and when she did cook， I didn't like her food． Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this， so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find．

    During a year， I had produced most of its recipes（食谱）and was ready for a bigger challenge（挑战）． I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family． To my joy， my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen． I did much cooking to test my dishes in it and my skill improved quickly． Later， my mom and I set up a dinner club that organized monthly events inside my home． Now as a teen chef （主厨）， I have also cooked in top﹣class restaurants around the country． I am not doing it for the money， but because I love cooking．

    Now I know that when you stop caring whether you'll be famous or do well， your dream will come to you．

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter？ Are you different because you are the first， second， or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine？

    A study found that first﹣borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order， perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters， which improves their own skills． In 2007， an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ，33% are middle children， and 23% are last﹣borns． First﹣borns are more likely （可能的）to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay．

    If first﹣borns are more successful， last﹣borns are generally more agreeable． They are also more likely to be funny， possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table． Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families， and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four． According to a 2007 Time magazine article， "The power of Birth Order，" last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen．

    Then there are the middle children； we have not ignored（忽视） them! Many middle children are short of one﹣on﹣one time with their parents． They often feel short﹣changed： the oldest gets more rights， and the youngest is "spoiled（宠坏的） "．Though they may be ignored， middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults．

    Many factors（因素）make us who we are， but if the research is correct， birth order may be one of the most important factors．

（1）Who is most likely to be a CEO？　　

A． A first﹣born．

B． A second﹣born．

C． A third﹣born．

D． A last﹣born．

（2）What can we learn about Jim Carrey？　　

A． He was likely to be given low pay．

B． He was likely to be agreeable．

C． He was a first﹣born．

D． He was a middle child．

（3）What does the underlined word "short﹣changed" in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese？　　

A．受亏待的

B．受控制的

C．受宠爱的

D．受欢迎的

（4）We can learn from the research that birth order　　．

A． has no influence on IQ

B． matters a lot at the dinner table

C． may decide who we are

D． is a factor in making us powerful

Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day， but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas．

    Mother's Day originated（起源） in America during the early 20th century． The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted．

    Why did a foreign festival become popular in China？ In fact， Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial（孝顺的）devotion to parents． There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China． For example， the story of "Taste Liquid（液体的） Medicine for Mother" tells us the filial virtue（美德） of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty． His mother had been sick for three years． He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night． He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it． Also， mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems， like "Song of the Parting Son" by Meng Jiao， a poet of the Tang dynasty． Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks． Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion．

    On special days， people often use roses or forget﹣me﹣nots to express love． Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world， but few know that China has its own for mothers﹣﹣﹣the tiger lily．

    Love for mothers can have different ways of expression． What matters most is love， not the festival itself． What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children．

（1）When did Mothers Day spread to China？　　

A． In the 1920s．

B． In the 1980s．

C． In the Western Han dynasty．

D． In the Tang dynasty．

（2）What is the poem of "Song of the Parting Son" mainly about？　　

A． The filial virtue of Emperor Wen．

B． Caring for the old．

C． Traditional Chinese medicine．

D． A mother's love for her son．

（3）Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of　　．

A． its wide spread in many countries

B． our ancient stories of respecting parents

C． our traditional cultural values

D． its simple way of expressing love

（4）What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother？　　

（5）What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be　　．

A． a big dinner

B． a celebration party

C． greetings of the festival

D． expensive presents

We should not use more water than we actually need． If we do， we will not have enough water in the future． （1）　　It is not a difficult question to answer． If we remove more fresh water than nature replaces， we have taken too much．

    Many cities run campaigns（运动）to get people to stop wasting water． They show them ways they can cut back on water use． （2）　　What's more， they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use． For example， they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water． （3）　

    Another threat（威胁）to our water supply is pollution． When our sources of fresh water get polluted， we can no longer use this water． This also endangers（危及） the animals that depend on the water．

    （4）　　We can save lots of water by not letting taps（水龙头） run while we brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands． By collecting cold water when were taking warm showers， we can also save water． （5）　　In this way， we can make full use of water．

A． However， just how much is too much？

B． There are several things we can do to save water．

C． Finally， they make laws to control the use of water．

D． We don't have to let the cold water run until it gets warm．

E． They also increase water bills for people who use too much．
