        Food festivals around the world

    Stilton Cheese Rolling

    May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include these rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.

    Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth

    Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!

    La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight

    On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight—starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.

    The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!

    Melbourne Food and Wine Festival

    Australia's cultural capital has hosted this 20 years, a showcase of the continent's culinary(烹调用的) mastery through cooking demonstrations, special tours and food tastings throughout the city. Meet celebrity chefs and artisan food crafters, go to gals dinners and discover Down Under's most fantastic flavors

        In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.

    In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.

        How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.

        In our study, higher-companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.

        Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.

    1. (1) What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
      A . Get an advantage. B . Increase the speed. C . Reach the limit. D . Set a goal.
    2. (2) The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
      A . spending more time and performing worse B . spending more time and performing better C . spending less time and performing worse D . spending less time and performing better
    3. (3) What can we learn from the text?
      A . How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is. B . How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces. C . Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes. D . Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
    4. (4) According to the author, what is the key to deciding strategic speed?
      A . Pausing at key moments. B . The size of company. C . The boss. D . The quality of the products.
    5. (5) Which could be the best title for the text?
      A . Improve quality? Serve better. B . Deliver value? Plough ahead. C . Reduce time? Move faster. D . Need speed? Slow down.

        My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas, little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here, her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.

        One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.

        I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then.

        That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.

    1. (1) Nanny's family immigrated to America mainly because _____.
      A . they suffered starvation in their homeland B . they wanted to start a rich life in the new land C . they tried to get away from the terrible climate D . their country was in war and they needed peace
    2. (2) The boy complained to Nanny that the food _____.
      A . wasn't cooked the way his mom did B . was served a bit later than usual C . was prepared in a special way D . was just to his parents' taste
    3. (3) When seeing Nanny crying in the living room, the author felt _____.
      A . surprised B . ashamed C . shocked D . annoyed
    4. (4) The author mainly wants to tell us that _____.
      A . forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for it B . hardships can make children more indifferent C . grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildren D . family ties can sometimes be misused
    5. (5) What kind of person is Nanny in author's eyes?
      A . Joyous and jealous. B . Hardworking and careful. C . Strong-willed and wise. D . Kind and sensitive.

        Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?

        In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones. That's because technological progress is extremely rapid. It's only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.

        It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It's not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator's job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.

        It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't—or shouldn't—involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it's about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.

    Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.

        Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.

    1. (1) What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
      A . Ready. B . Approaching. C . Helpful. D . Advanced.
    2. (2) Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?
      A . Their data is not adequate enough. B . The real meaning of words can vary. C . Their accuracy needs big improvement. D . A soul hasn't been breathed in them.
    3. (3) What view does the author hold about translation?
      A . Proper translation can be tough for humans. B . Slight distinctions matter little in translation. C . Some machines will interpret our world properly. D . Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
    4. (4) What is the best title for the text?
      A . An Expert's P It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't﹣or recise Prediction B . The Complexity of Translation C . Who Will Be a Better Translator D . Will Language Barrier Actually Fall
    5. (5) What is the author's attitude to the modern technology?
      A . Unclear. B . Objective. C . Optimistic. D . Negative.

        Some years ago industries had more freedom than they now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

        Of course, sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

        Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S, for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

    1. (1) What had bad effects on the health of the workers?(No more than 6 words)
    2. (2) In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers?(No more than 20 words)
    3. (3) Please explain the underlined phrase “took little notice of” in the first paragraph in English.(No more than 5 words)
    4. (4) What is the passage mainly about?(No more than 15 words)
    5. (5) Do you think working or living place is safer and cleaner than before? Please give one or two examples.(No more than 20 words)
