Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the?1 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 2 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 3 far from the countries where they are 4 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.

　　The first stage in the canning?5 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 6 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 7 . The jobs are principally 8 by machine.

This makes 11 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 12 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed.?13 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.

Cans of fruit, for example, 16 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 17 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for?18 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 19 becoming too soft.

We made it!

There was an exhilarating (使人高兴的，令人振奋的) feeling in the air last night in Beijing.

When retiring President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Juan Antonio Samaranch announced that Beijing had won the 2008 Summer Olympic Games hid yesterday in Moscow, Chinese people know their dream to host modern Olympic Games had finally come true.

The victory is a source of pride not only for Beijing but for all Chinese. It was nation wide support that sustained the bid effort and led it to its final success.

Ever since Beijing’s first bid failed in 1993, it has been the business of every Chinese national to root for and encourage the city’s second attempt to host the Olympics. All of China, from the government to its citizens, has pledged all-out support for the bid.

The Olympic philosophy states: “Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethnical principles.” Beijing is ready to put its wisdom, strength and character to the ultimate test in the next seven years to fulfill this goal.

We believe the city will make the 2008 Olympic Games the most unique one ever.

We also believe the Games will leave a legacy to the country’s environment and human rights.

As He Zhenliang, a longtime IOC member from China, said in China’s bid presentation, “The Olympic flame lights up the way of progress for humanity. By voting for Beijing you will bring the Games for the first time in history to a country which has one fifth of the world’s population. The message you send today may signal the beginning of a new era of global unity.”

Maybe ten year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead. ”

Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety-belt：a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.

There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “throw clear”. Myth Number Two: Safety-belts “trap” people in ears that are burning or sinking in water.

Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).

Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

24. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare (比较) their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him. or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it. what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should our teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the ch[Id when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

29. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _______.

A. listening to ,skilled people’s advice

B. asking older people many questions

C. making mistakes and having them corrected

D. doing what other people do

30. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?

A. Give children correct answers.

B. Allow children to make mistakes.

C. Point out children’s mistakes to them.

D. Let children
