Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought s
8、ome kind of germ (细菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didnt eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them
9、with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part tha

15、ifficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy
16、welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually
17、the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.

22、ospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant69. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendships

25、t you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. Attitudes are important. Whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. If youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musician
26、s, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
