Nowadays, many young people are busy with their work, and they don’t have time to shop every day. They often buy enough food for at least a week. But eating food not kept correctly could make you sick. The fridge may be a perfect choice for keeping food safe and fresh, but it’s not a magic box to keep all kinds of food. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly in your fridge.

The temperature in the fresh-keeping area can be different in different shelves. Generally speaking, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So use these different temperatures to keep your food on the right shelf. Try to put ready-to-eat food like hamburgers, pizza or cream cakes on top shelves. The middle shelves are the most suitable for dairy products (乳制品) such as cheese, butter and yogurt. Bottom shelves are the coldest

part of the fridge, making them perfect for keeping raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻室) for keeping these things, so of course make use of that if you have one.

Keeping food in the fridge does not kill bacteria (细菌) but it can stop the bacteria from growing fast. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃ and 60℃. This is the Temperature Danger Zone. If you want to get the most out of your food, the temperature in the fresh-keeping area needs to be between 0℃ and 5℃. The freezer temperature should be below-18℃.

Everyone should pay attention to food safety. Hope these tips can help you keep your food fresh as long as possible.

B．Different shelves in a fridge have different temperatures.

C．The fridge is a magic box to keep all kinds of food.

On my first job as a sports editor for a small newspaper, I never got a letter from my readers, so I felt strange when an envelope was put on my desk one morning. When I opened it, I read: “A nice piece of writing on the Tigers. Well done! Go on!” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was not confident at that time, his words couldn’t have been more encouraging. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing encouraging words to others. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”

Over the years, I’ve tried to copy the example of Don Wolfe and other friends who care enough to write encouraging words, because I think they are doing something important. We all need a boost from time to time, and a few lines of praise may turn around a day, even a life.

Why, then, are there so few note writers like Don Wolfe? My guess is that many are afraid they’ll be misunderstood or sound strange. Also, writing takes time; it’s far easier to make a phone call. The disadvantage with phone calls, of course, is that they don’t last long. A note is a matter of record, and the note can be read more than once and valued.

What does it need to write notes that life spirits and warm hearts? Only a willingness to express our appreciation （欣赏）. Be ready to give your praise. Your words may not only make a difference to others, but they can make a difference to yourself. As Don Wolfe said, making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too.

11．What can we know about the writer from Paragraph 1?

A．He was an excellent sports editor.    B．He was good at encouraging others.

C．He never got a mail from Don Wolfe.   D．He didn’t receive a letter from his readers before.

12．The underlined word “boost” probably means _________.

A．line B．encouragement C．note D．friend

13．What does the writer think of Don Wolfe?

A．Confident. B．Cold. C．Caring. D．Cheerful.

14．What’s the advantage of writing a note according to paragraph 3?

A．It takes time. B．It is very easy to do that.

C．It can improve understanding. D．It may last long and be valued.

15．What’s the best title of the text?

A．The Power of Notes B．The Power of Examples

C．The Secrets of Note Writing D．The Way to Express Appreciation

If you feel stressed at school, what can you do to make yourself happier? Some may eat their favorite food or listen to some music. Others may go for a walk or get some exercise. A new study found another great way to lower students’ stress—playing with dogs.

Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. The children were divided into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They watched the trained dogs perform and even played with them. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things.

During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). Cortisol is a stress hormone (激素). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs.

According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way, which is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer.

16．Why is the first paragraph written?

A．To lead in the topic (主题). B．To give us a surprise.

C．To shock the readers. D．To show the latest research results.

17．What made the testing results of the three groups different?

A．The time. B．The age. C．The activity. D．The place.

18．Which one shows the relationship between students’ stress(x) and cortisol levels(y)?

A． B． 

C． D．

19．What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指的是)?

A．Trainers. B．Dogs. C．Scientists. D．Students.

20．What may the scientists study next?

A．More useful ways to lower stress. B．New skills of keeping pets at home.

C．The amount of time to play with a dog. D．The most suitable kind of dog to play with.
