Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
One morning more than thirty years ago,I entered the Track Kitchen,a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast.I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly,unshaven man,who looked somewhat disheveled.He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone.I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things.We never introduced ourselves.I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat.So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee,I asked,“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee.We talked more,and he accepted another cup of coffee.Finally,I rose to leave,wished him well,and headed for the exit.At the door I met one of my friends.He asked,“How did you get to know Mr.Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with.He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it.I was buying,offering a free breakfast,and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life.Now I try to treat everyone with respect,no matter who I think they are,and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

Cooking programmes and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviours,according to a recent review.And,although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programmes,the findings suggest that such programmes might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.
This research comes at a time when childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly.More than one-third of adolescents (青少年) in the United States were obese in 2012,according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).This trend has been caused,at least in part,by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s,according to background information in the study.
Cooking education programmes,such as Food Explorers,teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them.They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day.A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group,and the kids make something based on the lesson,such as fruit or vegetable salad.Depending on the programme,kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents,the review explained.
The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programmes.Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old,according to the review.The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient programme to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime.The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions.This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods,which helps them build healthy habits.
The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(参与)their children's eating habits.Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home.Children are more comfortable at home,which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.
[语篇解读] 作者主要介绍给孩子进行烹饪教育能帮助孩子养成良好的饮食习惯。
5.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habits.
B.Eating out frequently causes obesity.
C.Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012.
D.Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This trend has been caused,at least in part,by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s...”可知美国青少年肥胖的人数越来越多的主要原因是人们在家吃饭的次数减少,而在外面就餐的次数增多,故选B。
