单选题I grew up knowing that I was different, and I hated it. When I started school my classmates made it clear to me how I must look to others: a little girl with an ugly lip. And I was deaf in one ear. I was sure that no one outside my family could love me. Then I entered Mrs. Green's second-grade class. Mrs. Green was round and pretty. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did. And for a special reason. The time came for the annual(一年一度的) hearing test given at our school. The "whisper test" required each child to go to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, while the teacher whispered something from the desk, which the child repeated. Then the same for the other ear. The teacher usually whispered things like "The sky is blue. " or "Do you have new shoes?". My time came. I turned my bad ear toward her, blocking the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the words that God had surely put into her mouth, seven words that changed my life forever.

单选题 The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of cancer is related to the diet as well. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates (硝酸盐) and nitrites (亚硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve colour in meat, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic (致癌 的) additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin (青霉素) to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
