Electric Pressure Cooker: Safety and User Guide
Please read this guide carefully before using your new electric pressure cooker for the first time. The cooker is designed for home use and can cook rice, soup, meat and beans much faster than a normal pot, but it works under pressure, so following the safety rules is not a suggestion; it is a must.
Before you start, check three things. First, make sure the sealing ring inside the lid is clean and sits in the right place. Second, never fill the pot more than two-thirds full, and only half full when you are cooking food that expands, such as rice or beans. Third, look at the pressure valve to make sure it is not blocked. A blocked valve is the most common cause of accidents.
To cook, place the food and water in the pot, close the lid until it clicks, and choose the correct setting. The cooker will build up pressure and the valve will rise. Do not try to open the lid while the valve is still up, because the hot steam inside can cause serious burns. When cooking is finished, wait for the pressure to drop on its own, or use the quick-release method only as the guide describes.
After each use, wash the inner pot, the lid and the sealing ring with warm water, and dry them before putting them away. Never put the main body of the cooker into water. If the power cord is damaged, stop using the cooker and ask a professional to repair it. With a little care, your pressure cooker will save you time and energy for many years.
16.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how to use a pressure cooker safely.
B. To compare different brands of cookers.
C. To advertise a new kitchen product.
D. To describe how rice and beans are cooked.
17.How full should the pot be when cooking food that expands?
A. Completely full.
B. Only half full.
C. Two-thirds full.
D. Three-quarters full.
18.What is the most common cause of accidents according to the passage?
A. Using too little water.
B. Cooking for too long.
C. Washing the pot too often.
D. A blocked pressure valve.
19.Why should the lid not be opened while the valve is up?
A. The hot steam inside can cause serious burns.
B. The food will lose its taste.
C. The cooker will stop working.
D. The valve may become blocked.
20.What should be done if the power cord is damaged?
A. Wrap it with tape and keep using it.
B. Wash it with warm water.
C. Stop using it and ask a professional to repair it.
D. Replace it with any cord you can find.
B
Ask someone about their earliest memory, and most people will describe something that happened when they were three or four years old—a birthday cake, a fall from a bicycle, a first day at kindergarten. Almost no one, however, can recall being a baby. This strange gap, which scientists call "infantile amnesia", has puzzled researchers for more than a century, and it raises a deeper question: are those early experiences simply gone, or are they stored somewhere that we can no longer reach?
The first explanation was that babies simply cannot form memories. But this turns out to be wrong. Very young children clearly remember things over short periods—a face, a game, a familiar room—and can even remember events for several weeks. The memory system of a baby is not empty; it is simply different. Some researchers believe the problem is not in storing the memory, but in the fact that babies have not yet learned to use language, which we rely on to organize and keep our memories in order.
There is also a physical explanation. The hippocampus, a small structure deep inside the brain that is essential for forming lasting memories, is still developing in the first years of life. New brain cells are being produced so quickly that old connections are constantly being reorganized, and this rapid growth may overwrite the early traces before they can become permanent. In other words, the brain of a baby is too busy building itself to keep a careful record.
Whatever the exact cause, infantile amnesia tells us something important about memory: it is not a perfect recording of the past, but an active process that changes as we grow. The earliest years may be lost to us in detail, yet they are not wasted. They shape the brain, the feelings and the habits that make us who we are, even if we can never point to a single memory and say, "That was the day it all began."
Interestingly, culture may play a part too. Researchers have noticed that the age of our earliest memory is not the same everywhere. In societies where people talk often and in detail about the past, children tend to report earlier memories than children in places where the past is rarely discussed. This suggests that the stories our families tell help us build the very memories we later believe are our own.
21.What does "infantile amnesia" refer to?
A. The ability of babies to remember faces.
B. The rapid growth of the brain in early years.
C. The fact that people cannot recall being babies.
D. The use of language to organize memories.
22.What did people first believe about babies and memory?
A. Babies simply cannot form memories.
B. Babies remember everything perfectly.
C. Babies only remember sad events.
D. Babies forget things on purpose.
23.How may the hippocampus explain infantile amnesia?
A. It stops working after birth.
B. Its rapid development may overwrite early memories.
C. It stores only memories of language.
D. It is larger in babies than in adults.
24.What does the underlined word "overwrite" in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Protect something carefully.
B. Make something clearer.
C. Replace something that was there before.
D. Count something very quickly.
25.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Babies should be taught to remember more.
B. Early memories are stored in a special place.
C. Infantile amnesia has already been fully explained.
D. Early years still shape us even though we cannot recall them.
C
Every morning before sunrise, Liu Shan pulled on his worn boots and set off into the forest, where the only paths were the ones he had walked for twenty years. His job was simple to describe but hard to do: to watch over a stretch of mountain forest, to report fires and illegal cutting, and to make sure that the creatures who lived there were left in peace. The forest was his office, and the sound of birds waking was his clock.
One spring afternoon, Liu found a young golden monkey caught in a wire trap, its leg bleeding and its eyes wide with fear. Traps like this, set by people hoping to catch wild animals for sale, were exactly what he spent his days trying to stop. He did not dare to touch the animal with bare hands, so he wrapped it in his jacket and carried it down the mountain, walking for two hours until he reached the rescue station where a vet could treat it.
The monkey recovered slowly. Liu visited it every few days, sitting quietly outside its cage so that it would grow used to his voice. When the day came to set it free, the vet warned him that the animal might not remember him, and might not look back. Liu said he did not expect thanks. What mattered, he believed, was not whether the animal remembered him, but that a life had been returned to the forest where it belonged.
Liu is now in his fifties, and the mountain has changed in his time. There are more cameras, more young rangers with phones and drones, and fewer of the old traps. But the heart of the work has not changed. It is still about walking the same paths, noticing the small signs that something is wrong, and understanding that protecting a forest means protecting every life within it, from the tallest tree to the smallest, quietest creature.
The work is not always dramatic. Most days are quiet, filled with small checks: a fence that needs mending, a fallen branch across a path, the footprints of an animal that has not been seen in a while. Liu keeps a pocket notebook in which he writes these small signs, because a forest, he has learned, speaks in whispers. A sudden silence, a missing nest, a path where the leaves have been disturbed—each one is a message for those who know how to read it.
26.What is Liu Shan's job?
A. A vet who treats wild animals.
B. A photographer who takes pictures of forests.
C. A guide who leads visitors up the mountain.
D. A forest ranger who protects the mountain.
27.What did Liu do when he found the trapped monkey?
A. He called the police and waited.
B. He wrapped it in his jacket and carried it down the mountain.
C. He released it at once without help.
D. He took a photo and left it alone.
28.Why did Liu sit quietly outside the monkey's cage?
A. To make the animal grow used to his voice.
B. To feed it every day by hand.
C. To watch the vet's work.
D. To wait for other rangers to arrive.
29.What did the vet warn Liu when the monkey was set free?
A. The monkey would follow him home.
B. The monkey would become too tame.
C. The monkey might not remember him.
D. The monkey would not survive alone.
30.What does the last paragraph mainly suggest?
A. New technology has changed the ranger's job completely.
B. The mountain has become too dangerous to protect.
C. Liu plans to retire from his work soon.
D. The heart of protecting the forest has stayed the same.
D
The noodle shop on the corner has served the same bowl of noodles for sixty years. The recipe has not changed, the wooden benches have not changed, and neither has the old man who has stood behind the counter since he was a teenager. Now, with the rent rising and the customers growing older, he faces a question his father never had to answer: should he change the shop to attract young people, or should he keep it exactly as it has always been?
Those who believe the shop should change point out that a business cannot live on memories alone. Young customers, they argue, want comfortable seats, online ordering and a menu that offers something new. A shop that refuses to change, however much we respect its tradition, may simply close one day, and then the very thing people loved will be gone. A careful update, they say, is not a betrayal; it is a way of keeping the old spirit alive in a new form.
Those who believe the shop should stay the same reply that its value lies precisely in its sameness. In a city where everything is rebuilt and rebranded, a place that has kept the same taste and the same wooden benches for sixty years is rare. Customers come not for convenience but for a feeling of continuity—the sense that some things, at least, do not change with every passing fashion. Change the shop, they warn, and you may keep the customers but lose the soul.
Perhaps the answer is not a simple either-or. A shop can keep its most important traditions—the recipe, the warm welcome, the long family history—while quietly improving the things that do not touch its heart: better lighting, a simple online menu, a ramp for older customers. Tradition is not a glass case; it is a living thing, and living things, to survive, must sometimes grow without losing what they are.
A regular customer, a man in his seventies who has eaten there since he was a child, put it simply: "I come for the taste, but I stay for the feeling." Young people, he believes, are not turning away from tradition; they simply want it served in a way that fits their lives. If the old recipe can be ordered on a phone and enjoyed in a brighter room, he said, the young will discover what their grandparents have known all along.
31.What problem does the noodle shop owner face?
A. The recipe has been lost.
B. The rent is rising and customers are growing older.
C. His father wants to sell the shop.
D. The wooden benches are broken.
32.Why do some people think the shop should change?
A. Tradition has no value at all.
B. Young people dislike eating noodles.
C. The shop should be sold to a company.
D. A business cannot live on memories alone.
33.What do those who oppose change believe?
A. The shop should be rebuilt completely.
B. The value of the shop lies in its sameness.
C. Online ordering will save the shop.
D. Old customers no longer matter.
34.What does the underlined word "continuity" in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. A sense that things continue without changing.
B. A feeling of excitement about new things.
C. A plan to rebuild an old building.
D. A way of serving food quickly.
35.What is the writer's suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. The shop should close before it is too late.
B. Change everything to attract young people.
C. Keep important traditions while improving small things.
D. Never change anything about the shop.

Electric Pressure Cooker: Safety and User Guide
Please read this guide carefully before using your new electric pressure cooker for the first time. The cooker is designed for home use and can cook rice, soup, meat and beans much faster than a normal pot, but it works under pressure, so following the safety rules is not a suggestion; it is a must.
Before you start, check three things. First, make sure the sealing ring inside the lid is clean and sits in the right place. Second, never fill the pot more than two-thirds full, and only half full when you are cooking food that expands, such as rice or beans. Third, look at the pressure valve to make sure it is not blocked. A blocked valve is the most common cause of accidents.
To cook, place the food and water in the pot, close the lid until it clicks, and choose the correct setting. The cooker will build up pressure and the valve will rise.

Ask someone about their earliest memory, and most people will describe something that happened when they were three or four years old—a birthday cake, a fall from a bicycle, a first day at kindergarten. Almost no one, however, can recall being a baby. This strange gap, which scientists call "infantile amnesia", has puzzled researchers for more than a century, and it raises a deeper question: are those early experiences simply gone, or are they stored somewhere that we can no longer reach?
The first explanation was that babies simply cannot form memories. But this turns out to be wrong. Very young children clearly remember things over short periods—a face, a game, a familiar room—and can even remember events for several weeks. The memory system of a baby is not empty; it is simply different. Some researchers believe the problem is not in storing the memory, but in the fact that babies have not yet learned to use language, which we rely on to organize and keep our memories in order.
There is also a physical explanation. The hippocampus, a small structure deep inside the brain that is essential for forming lasting memories, is still developing in the first years of life. New brain cells are being produced so quickly that old connections are constantly being reorganized, and this rapid growth may overwrite the early traces before they can become permanent. In other words, the brain of a baby is too busy building itself to keep a careful record.
Whatever the exact cause, infantile amnesia tells us something important about memory: it is not a perfect recording of the past, but an active process that changes as we grow. The earliest years may be lost to us in detail, yet they are not wasted. They shape the brain, the feelings and the habits that make us who we are, even if we can never point to a single memory and say, "That was the day it all began."
Interestingly, culture may play a part too. Researchers have noticed that the age of our earliest memory is not the same everywhere. In societies where people talk often and in detail about the past, children tend to report earlier memories than children in places where the past is rarely discussed. This suggests that the stories our families tell help us build the very memories we later believe are our own.
21.What does "infantile amnesia" refer to?
A. The ability of babies to remember faces.
B. The rapid growth of the brain in early years.
C. The fact that people cannot recall being babies.
D. The use of language to organize memories.
22.What did people first believe about babies and memory?
A. Babies simply cannot form memories.
B. Babies remember everything perfectly.
C. Babies only remember sad events.
D. Babies forget things on purpose.
23.How may the hippocampus explain infantile amnesia?
A. It stops working after birth.
B. Its rapid development may overwrite early memories.
C. It stores only memories of language.
D. It is larger in babies than in adults.
24.What does the underlined word "overwrite" in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Protect something carefully.
B. Make something clearer.
C. Replace something that was there before.
D. Count something very quickly.
25.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Babies should be taught to remember more.
B. Early memories are stored in a special place.
C. Infantile amnesia has already been fully explained.
D. Early years still shape us even though we cannot recall them.

C
Every morning before sunrise, Liu Shan pulled on his worn boots and set off into the forest, where the only paths were the ones he had walked for twenty years. His job was simple to describe but hard to do: to watch over a stretch of mountain forest, to report fires and illegal cutting, and to make sure that the creatures who lived there were left in peace. The forest was his office, and the sound of birds waking was his clock.
One spring afternoon, Liu found a young golden monkey caught in a wire trap, its leg bleeding and its eyes wide with fear. Traps like this, set by people hoping to catch wild animals for sale, were exactly what he spent his days trying to stop. He did not dare to touch the animal with bare hands, so he wrapped it in his jacket and carried it down the mountain, walking for two hours until he reached the rescue station where a vet could treat it.
The monkey recovered slowly. Liu visited it every few days, sitting quietly outside its cage so that it would grow used to his voice. When the day came to set it free, the vet warned him that the animal might not remember him, and might not look back. Liu said he did not expect thanks. What mattered, he believed, was not whether the animal remembered him, but that a life had been returned to the forest where it belonged.
Liu is now in his fifties, and the mountain has changed in his time. There are more cameras, more young rangers with phones and drones, and fewer of the old traps. But the heart of the work has not changed. It is still about walking the same paths, noticing the small signs that something is wrong, and understanding that protecting a forest means protecting every life within it, from the tallest tree to the smallest, quietest creature.
The work is not always dramatic. Most days are quiet, filled with small checks: a fence that needs mending, a fallen branch across a path, the footprints of an animal that has not been seen in a while. Liu keeps a pocket notebook in which he writes these small signs, because a forest, he has learned, speaks in whispers. A sudden silence, a missing nest, a path where the leaves have been disturbed—each one is a message for those who know how to read it.
26.What is Liu Shan's job?
A. A vet who treats wild animals.
B. A photographer who takes pictures of forests.
C. A guide who leads visitors up the mountain.
D. A forest ranger who protects the mountain.
27.What did Liu do when he found the trapped monkey?
A. He called the police and waited.
B. He wrapped it in his jacket and carried it down the mountain.
C. He released it at once without help.
D. He took a photo and left it alone.
28.Why did Liu sit quietly outside the monkey's cage?
A. To make the animal grow used to his voice.
B. To feed it every day by hand.
C. To watch the vet's work.
D. To wait for other rangers to arrive.
29.What did the vet warn Liu when the monkey was set free?
A. The monkey would follow him home.
B. The monkey would become too tame.
C. The monkey might not remember him.
D. The monkey would not survive alone.
30.What does the last paragraph mainly suggest?
A. New technology has changed the ranger's job completely.
B. The mountain has become too dangerous to protect.
C. Liu plans to retire from his work soon.
D. The heart of protecting the forest has stayed the same.

D
The noodle shop on the corner has served the same bowl of noodles for sixty years. The recipe has not changed, the wooden benches have not changed, and neither has the old man who has stood behind the counter since he was a teenager. Now, with the rent rising and the customers growing older, he faces a question his father never had to answer: should he change the shop to attract young people, or should he keep it exactly as it has always been?
Those who believe the shop should change point out that a business cannot live on memories alone. Young customers, they argue, want comfortable seats, online ordering and a menu that offers something new. A shop that refuses to change, however much we respect its tradition, may simply close one day, and then the very thing people loved will be gone. A careful update, they say, is not a betrayal; it is a way of keeping the old spirit alive in a new form.
Those who believe the shop should stay the same reply that its value lies precisely in its sameness. In a city where everything is rebuilt and rebranded, a place that has kept the same taste and the same wooden benches for sixty years is rare. Customers come not for convenience but for a feeling of continuity—the sense that some things, at least, do not change with every passing fashion. Change the shop, they warn, and you may keep the customers but lose the soul.
Perhaps the answer is not a simple either-or. A shop can keep its most important traditions—the recipe, the warm welcome, the long family history—while quietly improving the things that do not touch its heart: better lighting, a simple online menu, a ramp for older customers. Tradition is not a glass case; it is a living thing, and living things, to survive, must sometimes grow without losing what they are.
A regular customer, a man in his seventies who has eaten there since he was a child, put it simply: "I come for the taste, but I stay for the feeling." Young people, he believes, are not turning away from tradition; they simply want it served in a way that fits their lives. If the old recipe can be ordered on a phone and enjoyed in a brighter room, he said, the young will discover what their grandparents have known all along.
31.What problem does the noodle shop owner face?
A. The recipe has been lost.
B. The rent is rising and customers are growing older.
C. His father wants to sell the shop.
D. The wooden benches are broken.
32.Why do some people think the shop should change?
A. Tradition has no value at all.
B. Young people dislike eating noodles.
C. The shop should be sold to a company.
D. A business cannot live on memories alone.
33.What do those who oppose change believe?
A. The shop should be rebuilt completely.
B. The value of the shop lies in its sameness.
C. Online ordering will save the shop.
D. Old customers no longer matter.
34.What does the underlined word "continuity" in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. A sense that things continue without changing.
B. A feeling of excitement about new things.
C. A plan to rebuild an old building.
D. A way of serving food quickly.
35.What is the writer's suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. The shop should close before it is too late.
B. Change everything to attract young people.
C. Keep important traditions while improving small things.
D. Never change anything about the shop.
