It always made our bellies (肚子) full, our hearts happy and the house smell delicious. I sat down while Dad made me a plate. It felt so good having a meal like we used to (过去常常) when I was a boy. We talked about those old times, and my warmhearted aunt laughed over the memories, both good and bad. I didn’t feel cold any more. Dad and Nana have been gone for years now. I still miss them. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we could. Maybe it is because no matter how hard I try, I can never get it quite right.

Eating is necessary, and our bodies need energy, and dining with friends or loved ones is a wonderful experience. However, some of us often find oneself reserving a table for one in a restaurant. But is dining alone really that bad? Maybe not. We all have foods we like and dislike. Maybe it’s a piece of smelly cheese or fish. We sometimes hold back on things that may cause others to cover the noses. When dining alone, we can eat whatever we like, with the added good that we might eat more healthily. Often, if you want a salad and your partner wants some less healthy food, you end up ordering the same. And if you don’t get the same, you might end up with “food envy (忌妒)” as someone enjoys a pizza while you’re left holding the vegetables. Have you ever spent too long discussing with people which restaurant to eat in or when to meet? If dining alone, you can make the choice depending on your own desires and take your food in at exactly the time you’re hungry! And why does it have to be a restaurant? You could eat in a park, garden or even your bed—the point is, the choice is yours! That lonely time also means it’s a time to turn off. According to the psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter, staying alone can relax your brain and help you concentrate more. 1．Why is Moliere referred to in Paragraph One? A．To lead in the main topic. B．To attract the readers' interest. C．To show his wonderful writing. D．To describe the famous writer's opinion. 2．Your partner wants some less healthy food. You are likely to ______. A．eat more healthily B．cover your nose with hands C．take the same order D．end up with unhappiness 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph Three? A．Dining alone can save time and relax ourselves. B．Debating where to eat is a waste of time. C．Staying alone can improve our concentration. D．Making your own choice is important. 4．How does the author possibly feel about eating alone? A．Unwise. B．Popular. C．Boring. D．Acceptable. （11） Here is a recipe.

Potatoes are nutritious (有营养的). They are rich in vitamin C． A potato’s vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories—they have just 75 percent of the amount of calories that wheat and corn have. Also, potatoes are easy to grow. People can grow them in almost every part of China.

Eating is necessary, and our bodies need energy, and dining with friends or loved ones is a wonderful experience. However, some of us often find oneself reserving a table for one in a restaurant. But is dining alone really that bad? Maybe not. We all have foods we like and dislike. Maybe it’s a piece of smelly cheese or fish. We sometimes hold back on things that may cause others to cover the noses. When dining alone, we can eat whatever we like, with the added good that we might eat more healthily. Often, if you want a salad and your partner wants some less healthy food, you end up ordering the same. And if you don’t get the same, you might end up with “food envy (忌妒)” as someone enjoys a pizza while you’re left holding the vegetables. Have you ever spent too long discussing with people which restaurant to eat in or when to meet? If dining alone, you can make the choice depending on your own desires and take your food in at exactly the time you’re hungry! And why does it have to be a restaurant? You could eat in a park, garden or even your bed—the point is, the choice is yours! That lonely time also means it’s a time to turn off. According to the psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter, staying alone can relax your brain and help you concentrate more. 1．Why is Moliere referred to in Paragraph One? A．To lead in the main topic. B．To attract the readers' interest. C．To show his wonderful writing. D．To describe the famous writer's opinion. 2．Your partner wants some less healthy food. You are likely to ______. A．eat more healthily B．cover your nose with hands C．take the same order D．end up with unhappiness 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph Three? A．Dining alone can save time and relax ourselves. B．Debating where to eat is a waste of time. C．Staying alone can improve our concentration. D．Making your own choice is important. 4．How does the author possibly feel about eating alone? A．Unwise.
