A

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

　　Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

　　The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

　　Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

　　The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child — talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. The experience of the only child being with mother.

B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

C. The happy life of two families. D. The basic needs of children.

12. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______.

A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly

13. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.

C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

14. The author seems to believe that ______.

A. having brothers and sisters is fun B. it’s tiring to look after three children

C. every child needs parents’ full attention D. parents should watch others’ children

B

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality（个性）and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”

But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, and Lieberman got the job.

A. have relatives in Europe B. love cooking at home C. often hold parties D. own a restaurant16. The Food Network got to know Lieberman ______.

A. at one of his parties? B. from his teachers? C. through his taped show??????????? D. on a television program

17. What does the underlined word “charisma” in the 2nd paragraph refer to?A. A natural ability to attract others.? B. A way to show one’s achievement.C. Lieberman’s after-class interest.? D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.

How to look good in a photo?

What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken? Whether it’s work or fun, the most important thing is lighting. If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too. Know where the light is. You don’t want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you.

The key thing is no shadow. If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o’clock shadow has passed. Also don’t let pictures in the magazines stress you out — all the pictures are taken by great photographers. And all the faces have had pimples（粉刺）taken out by computers.

Tip your head and learn what angles (角度) work with your face; everyone is different. So you have to learn what suits you. You can practice in Photo Booth as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face. Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera. No one can look bad if they smile.

For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.

For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle. And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.

Keep shoulders back.

Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.

Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter（快门）is clicked for full eyes.

Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days.

19. If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______.

A. below you B. above you C. directly at you D. right behind you

20. According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______.

A. light B. shadow C. angles D. photographers

21. What advice does the author give on taking photos?

A. Raise your legs as high as possible. B. Keep your eyes down.

C. Position your shoulders straight. D. Put a penny between lips.

It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing (挤) past someone in a narrow aisle (通道), people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things.

After all, squeezing past others sometimes can’t be avoided and the bus driver is merely doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people.

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers stressed several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impressi
