The restaurant was opened in 1941 by Wang’s great-grandfather from Guangdong China. In the beginning, it only sold snacks. Later, it began serving many other Chinese dishes and became famous. However, Tuck Chan always remembers where it all started. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it makes top-quality mooncakes. From August to September, Wang changes the restaurant’s opening hours so that he and his family can spend more time making mooncakes. In the kitchen, everybody works quickly. The mooncakes are made completely by hand. In recent years, more and more bakeries have started to use factory-made bean fillings (馅). But Wang believes handmade fillings taste better. Every week, he and his family spend at least two days making fillings. For the lotus seed (莲心) filling, for example, they begin by taking lotus seeds from their pods (荚). The seeds are boiled twice, steamed for eight hours, and mixed with sugar. After the filling is ready, Wang and his family turn it into small-sized filling balls. Then, they put flour around each ball and press it into wooden molds (模具). ▲ and perfect mooncakes slide (滑动) out. After that, they bake the mooncakes. The work is hard, but Wang says it’s worth the effort. The mooncakes are soft with fillings that melt (融化) in your mouth. If you have a chance to see the mooncakes cooling on the wooden shelves, make sure to take a deep breath and enjoy the wonderful smell. The mooncakes won’t stay on the shelves for very long, anyway. 26. Tuck Chan in this passage is the name of ________. A. a restaurant B. a family C. a mooncake D. a dish 27. Why does Wang change the restaurant’s opening hours from August to September? A. To spend time with his family. B. To serve many other Chinese dishes. C. To cool the mooncakes on the shelves. D. To make mooncakes with his family. 28. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. Wang bakes the mooncakes B. Wang knocks each mold four times C. Wang serves the mooncakes D. Wang eats the mooncakes 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The mooncakes are easy to break into pieces. B. Tuck Chan always offers the top-quality dishes. C. It takes Wang a long time to make homemade fillings. D. Tuck Chan sells the mooncakes with factory-made bean fillings. 30. What is this passage mainly about? A. Wang’s handmade mooncakes. B.

Predicting rain or shine can shape people’s life and make a difference. In 650 BC, the Babylonians tried to predict the weather based on the appearance of clouds. Around 340 BC, Aristotle, a famous Greek thinker and scientist, tried to introduce the type of weather, such as rain, cloud and lightning. He believed that there was water, air and fire around the earth. It was almost 2000 years before his ideas were replaced by new ones. By 300 BC in China, the calendar divided the year into 24 festivals, gradually, each solar terms related to a type of weather. Like the Rain Water (雨水) , Frost’s Descent (霜降) and so on. That was useful for farmers to plan when to plant and harvest. People used a lot of ways to predict the weather over the centuries. You might have heard the expression “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight”, which suggests a red sky in the evening is followed by good weather. This has a basis in science. On the other hand, some thought that if sheep crowded together, it meant to rain. But there isn’t any science behind it. The science of weather prediction really took off in the 1830s with the invention of the telegraph. It sent messages over hundreds of thousands of miles. So weather maps were drawn up and the storm systems were studied. The next big step came in the 1920s with the invention of the “radiosonde”, a balloon carrying weather instruments high above the ground to collect information. Experts took the information and built a picture of the weather over the following few days. Today supercomputers are used to take data (数据) from the world and process it very fast to work out weather. For example, they once helped predict Hurricane Lee, which hit the US and Canada, would land nine days in advance (提前) . Humans’ Efforts to Work Out the Weather Weather predictions have developed from experience to ____36____ Ancient times In 650 BC Around 340 BC By 300 BC Over 2, 000 years In the ____37____ In the 1920s Today the Babylonians studied the clouds Aristotle formed the ideas about weather. In China, 24 festivals helped ____38____ to plant and harvest. People had many ways to predict the weather, like watching the sky or animals. Some based on science. Some ____39____ Telegraph marked the use of modern science in predicting the weather. Radiosonde helped get information.
