One thing we love about soup is that it's easy to make and it only needs a few simple

ingredients. Here are four of our favorite, simple homemade soups. Enjoy!

1. Chicken Soup

Chicken soup can help fight a cold. You can prepare your soup using a whole chicken or

just thin pieces of chicken. Do either of them－although a whole chicken is likely to make your

soup more delicious. The main ingredients are：chicken, water, onions, carrots, celery(芹菜),

salt, pepper and noodles.

2. White Bean Soup

There are many types of beans to choose from. It’ s simply a matter of personal taste. Dried

beans are more traditional and cost less. However, canned beans also work. The other main

ingredients are: onions, tomatoes and carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3. French Onion Soup

When you get French onion soup in a restaurant, it might look a bit difficult to make. The

hardest part is cutting up all those onions. Get ready for a good cry! The main ingredients are:

six sweet onions, butter, water and salt.

4. Garden Vegetable Soup

In summer, you may find yourself with a lot of vegetables that need using up. Throw in

potatoes, rice or even some meat with the vegetables. The best thing about this soup is that you

can put in whatever you want. The main ingredients are: onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes and

potatoes.

Hobbs was an orphan. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard

work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures,

but he did not think he could pay off the debts.

One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs

took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came

from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man

for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures.

I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? If it were a little less money, I

would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up

the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”

“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with

this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must

bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”

“Yes I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man.

Too much TV-watching can harm children’ s ability to learn and even reduce their chances

of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of

television on children.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs

in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children

without bedroom TVs.

A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education

levels among 26-year–olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’ t

prove that TV is the cause and don't suggest that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）

may watch lots of TV.

Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with

college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during

childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education

beyond high school.

In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored

the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.

While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to

accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.

11. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.

A. have watched a lot of TV B. not be intersected in math

C. be unable to go to college D. have had computers in their bedrooms

12. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?

A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.

B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.

C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.

D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.

13. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. More time should be spent on computers.

B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.

Most travelers face the language difficulty in Italy nowadays. 16 There are a few things

that you should know before you step out of the airport.

There's no such thing as "Italian food".

In Italy each area has its own personality, its own dialect, and its own food. 17 Get to

know what's Produced locally and what's in season, and you'll be eating the freshest and best of

what that area has to offer.

18

Most Italians pay for things on a day-to-day basis with cash from their morning coffee to

dinner. Those of you who have grown used to paying for milk and bread at the grocery store

with a card find it very difficult to travel.

The waiter isn't being rude when he leaves you alone to eat.
