   At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal routine, I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of test and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!

Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle（软骨）” and “red burned lion head”. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” were “addicted” to diced（切成丁的）chicken with green pepper. Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.

I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried a heavy bowl full of broth（肉汤）and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence—“crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show?

【小题1】How does the writer find the English language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?
A. Confusing but amusing.
B. Easy to understand.
C. Boring and annoying.
D. Accurate and helpful.
【小题2】The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A. taste B. look
C. step D. risk
【小题3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The writer’s favorite Chinese dishes.
B. The fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurants.
C. A comparison between Western food and Chinese food.
D. The correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English.
【小题4】The passage is developed mainly in the form of ______.
A. examples and statements
B. comparisons and conclusions
C. causes and effects
D. time and description

   You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.

But at least, if you're in France, someone may be playing the piano for you. But it won't be performed by a paid musician, or even a street entertainer playing for coins. It will just be a random passer-by, jamming (即兴演奏) for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, S. N. C. F. , has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France. They are free for anyone to play, and travelers from all walks of life have taken to doing just that.

Gares & Connexions, the S. N. C. F. division that manages its stations, rents the instruments from producer, Yamaha, which maintains them and tunes them every month or two. The first one was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.

The music, mixed with the sounds of shouting passengers, screaming trains and rolling suitcases, gives French stations a special soundscape. The amateur (业余的) musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies. In 2014, Gares & Connexions and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play, asking participants to submit (提交) videos of themselves using one of the pianos. It drew nearly 900 entries.

Isn't the railroad company taking a big chance? Obviously not. "None of the instruments has been vandalized to this day, or even merely damaged," said Claire Foumon, a spokeswoman for Gares & Connexions. "They are shared and respected by all. " So if you miss a train in Paris one day, perhaps someone will be playing a favorite piece that will ease your pain. Or perhaps you'll sit down and play your annoyance away yourself.

【小题1】Why did Gares & Connexions fix pianos in railway stations?

A．To advertise Yamaha's products.

B．To make stations more attractive.

C．To let travelers have a relaxing trip.

D．To help street artists make a living.

【小题2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A．The contest has proved a hit.

B．The pianos are very popular.

C．Railway stations are crowded.

D．Everyone can be an amateur musician.

【小题3】What does the underlined word "vandalized" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Selected carefully.

B．Checked regularly.

C．Reserved in advance.

D．Destroyed on purpose.

【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Miss a train yet catch a tune

B．A good place to ease your pain

C．The role of pianos in French life

D．An amazing train with a piano bar

语法填空

Unlike some other European languages, English is a little tricky (棘手的) when it comes to writing. How a word 【小题1】 (pronounce ) and how it is actually spelt can be very different 【小题2】(thing).

Take two simple verbs like "have" and "save", Shouldn't they be pronounced the same? Why do "sir", "her" and "fur" all rhyme, but "fork" and "work" don't?

Imagine, then, a situation 【小题3】 two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have【小题4】

(complete) different meanings. Welcome to the world of homonyms (同形/同音异义词) . Take the word "fair" for example — it can be a kind of festival or an adjective to describe the colour of your hair.

So how do you know which 【小题5】 ( mean) someone is referring to? — You don't, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to "give 【小题6】 (he) a hand", they don't want you to remove what is 【小题7】 the end of your arm.

Sometimes even the context doesn't help much — the result can be 【小题8】 (amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:

I used to be a banker, 【小题9】 I lost interest.

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to be sent to hospital. When his grandmother phoned 【小题10】 (ask) how he was, the nurse said, "No change yet. "

"Waiter, will the bread be long?" "No, sir. It's round."

Four Ways to Make Your Shoes Feel Better

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, the vast majority of people experience foot pain at some point in their lives. The reason for most foot pain is that shoes fit poorly or force the feet into unnatural shapes. 【小题1】 Aside from carefully selecting the right shoes, there are some easy measures you can take to keep your feet from being painful.

1. Stretching Your Shoes

If your feet are rubbing against your shoes this could indicate that you need more width, length or both. However, sometimes going to the next larger size is not a choice, as the next size may be too large. 【小题2】.

2. Using Shoe Inserts (插入物)

Both doctors and those in the shoe repair industry often recommend inserts to increase shoe comfort. 【小题3】.

Determining the best insert for your shoes depends on what hurts.

3. 【小题4】

The way you lace (由带子系紧) your shoes can make a world of difference in their comfort. Lacing them too tightly or incorrectly can make your feet hurt. Cramped toes, rubbing on the top of the foot, and pressure on the big toe can likely be relieved if you lace your shoes different.

4. Wearing Socks

【小题5】.They are usually made of cotton or nylon. Not only do they add an extra layer of cushion to your shoes but they also keep your feet from sweating. This prevents moisture (水汽) from forming in the shoe. Moisture in your shoes can cause blisters and calluses on your feet.

A．Adjusting Shoelaces

B．Buying Shoes Without Shoelaces

C．There are a lot of shoe inserts to choose from

D．In fact, ill-fitting shoes are a top cause of foot pain

E．Socks are of great help to add more comfort to your shoes

F．Therefore, you need to know the size your feet are fit for

G．In this case stretching the shoes may be a good solution
