happiness. my good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. then suddenly i found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. i shook my head as i came to a red traffic light. as i pulled to a stop i noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. they were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. they looked rough and dangerous, but as i got closer i noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. i rolled down my window as one approached my car. “we are the brothers of the wheel”, he said. “we are collecting money for a christmas toy drive for needy children”. as i pulled a dollar out of my wallet i looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. they shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. i dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as i drove off. my good mood had returned. my faith in mankind had been improved. and i had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance. our society often judges books by their covers, but god reads what is written in our hearts and souls. perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.9the writers good mood ended when _.a. he heard news between songsb. he had to

bananas. but did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? how strange! are these people from “another earth”? no. they are just chinese people like you and me. abc means american-born chinese. an abc is a chinese, but was born in the united states. sometimes, people call an abc a “banana person”. a banana is yellow outside and white inside. so, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside-thinking like a westerner and yellow outside-looking like a chinese. do you know why? usually, abcs know little about china or the chinese language. some of them dont speak chinese. also, they are not interested in chinese politics. but if abcs cannot speak chinese, can we still call them chinese people? yes, of course. they are chinese. they are overseas chinese. these people may be citizens of another country like the us, canada or singapore. but they have chinese blood. their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from china. they all have black eyes and black hair. but they are not chinese citizens. they are not people of the peoples republic of china. for example, we all know the famous scientist c. n. yang. he got the nobel prize for physics in 1957. chinese people love him. but he is an american citizen.12“abc” in this text stands for “_”.a. three english letters b. a kind of bananac. chinese born in america d. americans born in

time. 16 money is a topic ill save for another day. so today i want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. think ahead. the moments when i think cooking is a pain are when im already hungry and theres nothing ready to eat. so think ahead of the coming week. when will you have time to cook? do you have the right materials already? 172. make your time worth it. when you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. are you making one loaf of bread? 18 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. so save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 19 this may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. it gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. the more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.hopefully that gives a good start. 20 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!a. try new things.b. ability is easily improved.c. make three or four instead.d. understand your food better.e. cooking is a burden for many people.f. let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.g. a little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.2 完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） elaine was a saleswoman，who drove all over the city five days a week. when all the
