阅读理解Pressure Cooker(压力锅) Safety When you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense(常识) rules: 1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use. 2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe(排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode. 3. Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker. Too little time will lead to undercooked food. 4. If you are new to pressure cooking, follow the cooking instructions carefully. Heat and time can either result in a great meal or a ruined one. 5. Never try to force a pressure cooker cover open. Allow the cooker to cool or run it under cool water before trying to open the cover. 6. Clean the cooker thoroughly after each use. Mild detergent(洗涤剂) and hot water work the best. Do not use stove ash or sand for they may damage the cooker. The gasket(密封圈) is best cleaned in warm soapy water and then dried. Store the gasket in the bottom of the pot.

阅读理解There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this. One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton(棉), silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton. The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs. World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim(帽檐)up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.

阅读理解Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled "Good Morning to All". When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister''s expertise in the area of Kindergarten Education, "Good Morning to All" was sure to be a success. The sisters published the song in a collection entitled "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University''s Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters'' permission. To add insult to injury, he added a second verse, the familiar "Happy Birthday to You". Mr. Coleman''s addition of the second verse popularized the song and, eventually, the sisters'' original first verse disappeared. "Happy Birthday to You", the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters'' original title, "Good Morning to All" After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, sprang into action and took Mr. Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody. Because the family legally owns the song, it is entitled to royalties from it, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes.

阅读理解Dolphins (海豚) live their whole lives in water. But they are mammals (哺乳动物) that live in water. That''s why a dolphin comes to the top of the water so often. A dolphin''s nose isn''t easy to see. It''s just a tiny hole on top of the dolphin''s head. This hole is called a blowhole. A dolphin comes up every half minute or so to breathe. It opens its blowhole and takes in air. Then it closes its blowhole tight and dives into the water again. But a dolphin can stay under the water for six or seven minutes if it has to. It holds its breath. A dolphin hears with two ears. It hears all sorts of small noises under water. It hears small stones rolling. It can hear sounds fish and other dolphins make. A dolphin''s ears may be extra small, but its mouth is extra big. It has to be big. It holds almost one hundred teeth. These teeth are all the same shape and size. They are used for catching food, but not for chewing (咀嚼) it. A dolphin opens its big mouth. It seizes (抓住) a fish firmly between its two rows of teeth. Then it swallows (吞下) the whole fish. A dolphin swims very fast. It is said that a dolphin swims faster than anything else in the water. So engineers are studying its skin and shape. They are learning ways to make boats go faster through the water. It is well known that dolphins are very smart. Some scientists say they are smarter than dogs. Others say they are smarter than apes (类人猿).

阅读理解The following is an advertisement. After reading it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 56 through No. 60) that followed. They should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. For more than a century and a half, Patek Philippe has been known as the finest watch in the world. The reason is very simple. It is made differently. It''s made using skills and techniques that others have lost or forgotten. It is made with attention to detail very few people would notice. It is made we have to admit, with a total disregard for time. If a particular Patek Philippe movement requires four years of continuous work to bring to absolute perfection, we will take four years. The result will be a watch that is unlikely any other. A watch that conveys quality from first glance and first touch. A watch with a distinction: generation after generation it has been worn, loved and collected by those who are very difficult to please; those who will only accept the best. For the day that you take delivery of your Patek Philippe, you will have acquired the best. Your Patek Philippe, you will have acquired the best. A watch that was made to be treasured.

阅读理解You want to get healthy. You know you need to exercise more. But you are not ready to do intense physical activities. Don''t worry! The best thing for most of us may be to just go for a walk. Yes, walk. At a reasonably vigorous clip (five to six kilometers per hour) for half an hour or so, maybe five or six times a week. You may not feel the benefits all at once, but the evidence suggests that over the long term, a regular walking routine can do you good. Walking, in fact, may be the perfect exercise. For starters, it''s one of the safest things you can do with your body. It''s much easier on the knees than running and doesn''t trigger side effects. Regular physical activity is probably as close to a magic bullet as we will come in modern medicine. If everyone were to walk briskly for 30 minutes every day, we could cut the incidence of many chronic diseases by 30 to 40 per cent. Walking is also a great way to lose body fat, so even if you don''t lose any weight, your body will have a healthier composition. Most people find they have to walk at least an hour a day to shed kilo.

阅读理解As working women continue to receive better and better wages, house-wives still work at home without receiving paychecks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her services? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, it was found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family composed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife''s household work. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husband to pay wives according to government guidelines (方针) for least amounts of wages. Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by Dr. Johnson, a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes (社会保障金) ,with their employers (that is ,their husbands) offering part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, "If you work in a store you can qualify for Social Security, but if you stay at home and raise a family, you can''t qualify for it."
