What cmes int yur mind when yu think f British fd? Prbably fish and chips r a Sunday dinner f meat and tw vegetables. But is British fd really s uninteresting? Even thugh Britain has a reputatin fr less-than-impressive cuisine, it is prducing mre tp class chefs wh appear frequently n ur televisin screens and whse recipe bks frequently tp the best seller lists.
It’s thanks t these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britns are turning away frm meat-and-tw-veg and ready-made meals and becming mre adventurus in their cking habits. It is recently reprted that the number f thse sticking t a traditinal diet is slwly declining and arund half f Britain’s cnsumers wuld like t change r imprve their cking in sme way. There has been a rise in the number f students applying fr fd curses at UK universities and clleges. It seems that TV prgrammes have helped change what peple think abut cking.
Accrding t a new study frm market analysts, 1 in 5 Britns say that watching ckery prgrammes n TV has encuraged them t try different fd. Almst ne third say they nw use a wider variety f ingredients (配料) than they used t, and just under 1 in 4 say they nw buy better quality ingredients than befre. One in fur adults say that TV chefs have made them much mre cnfident abut expanding their ckery knwledge and skills, and yung peple are als getting mre interested in cking. The UK’s bsessin (癡迷) with fd is reflected thrugh televisin scheduling. Ckery shws and dcumentaries abut fd are bradcast mre ften than befre.

30. Which is the percentage f the peple using mre diverse ingredients nw?
A. 20%.B. 24%.C. 25%.D. 33%.
31. What might the authr cntinue talking abut?

A new study suggests that smke frm wildfires can change hw cluds stre water and culd lead t less rainfall The research cmes as western parts f the United States are currently experiencing drught cnditins after several years f intense wildfire activity.
Cluds cntain a cllectin f water drplets (微滴) that frm frm vapr in the atmsphere. When these drplets cndense (凝結(jié)) nt each ther within a clud，they becme heavier and eventually fall as rain. But the water cndensatin prcess requires a slid substance fr the vapr t attach t. Different kinds f particles rising up frm the Earth’s surface can reach cluds and make this prcess pssible.
The new study fund that smke frm wildfires cntains small particles that affect the way drplets frm in cluds. The main effect was the number f water drplets frmed. The team reprted that smky cluds cntained abut five times the number f drplets as nn-smky cluds. But data als shwed that the drplets in smky cluds were much smaller, abut half the size f thse in the cluds withut wildfire smke.
It is that size difference, the researchers say, that culd reduce the amunt f rainfall. This is because small drplets are less likely t grw and eventually fall t the grund as rain. “Because f their small drplet sizes, these smky cluds are expected t reflect mre light and prduce less rain than cluds in clean air,” the study states.
The findings culd mean that active wildfire seasns in the western U. S. may in fact lead t less rain and mre drught, the researchers said. “We were surprised at hw effective these primarily rganic particles were at frming clud drplets and what large impacts they had n the micrphysics (微觀物理) f the cluds,” said Cynthia Twhy, leader f the new study.
Twhy als nted that different kinds f cluds behave differently. The current study examined changes in small cumulus cluds. Other kinds that sit much higher in the atmsphere can cause heavy strms, she said. Twhy added, “I am hping these results will lead t detailed reginal mdeling studies that will help us understand the actual impact f smke n cluds and climate.”
32. Why did the researchers cnduct the study?
A. They aren’t sure hw water drplets frm frm vapr.
B. There is a great climate change in America.
C. The US has serius drught after wildfires.
D. They wnder hw smky cluds appear.
33. What is a characteristic f smky cluds?
A They tend t reflect mre light.
B. They ften have lwer temperatures than thers.
C. They cntain mre drplets which are larger in size.
D. They have fewer particles fr the vapr t attach t.
34. What culd smky cluds lead t accrding t the text?
A. Less rainfall.
B. Much cler weather.
C. Fewer windy days.
D. Mre strms.
35. What is the main idea f the text?
A. There are many reasns fr the US drught.
B. Wildfire smke can make cluds prduce less rain.
C. Organic particles play an imprtant rle in frming cluds.
D. Humans have t face the serius cnsequences f wildfires.

We eat in ur cars, at ur desks, n the g, and in frnt f the TV. We eat take-ut, packaged and prepared meals. Why? Because it fits ur nt-enugh-time-in-the-day lifestyles. 36 Well, I’m certainly nt the first ne t think it r say it, but we all need t slw dwn.
Cnsumer trends arund the glbe shw that ver the past three decades peple are purchasing mre prepared fds at grceries and eating ut mre than ever befre. It’s predicted that we’ll spend mre at restaurants in the cming years. 37 Hwever, we’re getting less healthy.
While debates can be seen in different media ver the fd industry’s cntributin t ur grwing waistlines and ur health prblems, the bttm line is this： 38 We can chse t eat a fast-fd lunch n the g.

39 Studies have shwn meaningful links between family meals and kids’ mental and physical well-being.

Remember that the fd yu eat has a mre significant effect n yur health, weight and well-being than almst any ther activities yu d. 40 Every meal made at hme --- even just nce r twice a week --- is a step clser t a healthier bdy and a slwer eating style.
A. Our fd matches ur lives.
B. We’re cnsuming an increasing number f calries.

D. Lunch is the biggest calrie intake when it cmes t eating ut.
E. Purchase fd lcally and skip as many packaged items as yu can.
F. What we eat, where we eat and hw we eat are all under ur cntrl.
G. We can devte an hur f the day t enjying a meal with ur families.

Hwever, withut warning, my strength was running ut. My lungs fught t take in enugh air, and my feet transfrmed int cement bricks. Neck and neck with ne f my greatest rivals, I culd see the finish line. I had begun the final sprint int glry when my knees buckled and my legs gave way. Nthing I culd d wuld make them hld my weight. They were as weak as jelly. Even thugh I knew my dreams f victry had been destryed, I had t finish the race. With all f the strength left in me, I gt n my hands and knees and crawled, inch by inch, acrss the finish line. Shame pulsed thrugh my veins as Dad squatted dwn and pulled me int his arms.
