閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選擇最佳選項(xiàng)。

Food is a major part of every culture． After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when．

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread． Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal． In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p．m． But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p．m． Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p．m．

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat．

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously． Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals． Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee． They eat lunch at around 1:00 p．m． and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p．m．

The French consider eating a social activity． Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of． The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same．

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast． Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables． Between 6:00 p．m． and 8:00 p．m．, people enjoy a smaller meal with their families．

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推車)． But they always finish eating before walking away．

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ． Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast． Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast． For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers． Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns． American restaurant servings tend to be huge． But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common．

Forgetful Nick

After school on Friday, when Nick got home, he saw Grandpa’s car! Nick smiled and walked quickly up the front sidewalk.

He reached the door and said hello to Grandpa. Then Mom called from the kitchen. “Put away your schoolbag first.”

Nick’s smile vanished(消失). “Oh, no,” he said, “I forgot to bring my schoolbag home.”

Mom was angry. “Nick, you forgot your schoolbag again! You need to be more careful!”

Grandpa turned to Nick and winked(眨眼), “I’m afraid you inherited(遺傳) your forgetfulness from me, Nick. Your grandma used to call me ‘Forgetful Jones’.”

“But Grandpa, how did you stop forgetting? How can I stop forgetting?” Nick asked.

“Well,” said Grandpa, “I know a few tricks(竅門(mén)). I use them to help me remember important things. For example, it’s important to turn off my car lights when I park the car. So every time I get in the car, I put my notebook in my lap(大腿).”

“I saw it!” said Nick. “I always wondered why you did that!”

“Now you know my secret,” said Grandpa, “It’s a simple little trick, but it works. Why don’t we put our heads together and come up with a schoolbag-remembering trick?”

閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

It was three o’clock. A man was walking down a street in the north of England. He was wearing a dark suit and carrying a suitcase. His name was Terry and lived away from home for twenty years. In fact, he was in prison (監(jiān)獄) abroad.

Terry was feeling totally depressed because everything in his hometown changed. The park where he used to play was now a car park. The house where he was born disappeared and in its place, ironically (具有諷刺意味地), was a bank. Terry wanted to have a cup of coffee in the old small restaurant where he used to go with his friend after school, but it became a fast food restaurant. He entered it, sat down, and asked for a cup of coffee. Then he felt sadder when he thought of what he saw.

While paying for the coffee, he found an old ticket in his wallet. It was for a pair of shoes he took to be repaired the day before killing someone 20 years ago. The shoe repairer was an old man then, so Terry was sure that he must be dead. But when he turned to the corner of the street, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The shop was still there! And it was the same shoe repairer! He looked about a hundred years old. Terry was so happy! Terry told him that he had lived in Australia for the past twenty years and that he forgot to pick up the shoes before he left England. The shoe repairer disappeared into the back of the shop. After ten minutes he came back.

“Yes!” said Terry, excitedly.

Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read or write, most of them in developing countries. Two-thirds are women and girls.

John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign（運(yùn)動(dòng)）, has opened 1,650 schools and 15,000 libraries in some of the world’s poorest communities（社區(qū)）. He said that from the beginning, Room to Read’s goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries.

In 1998, on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village. The experience changed Wood’s life.

“This headmaster had 450 students at the school, but he didn’t have any books,” Wood said.” He had a library that was empty.”

Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village year later with some of his friends with 3,000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme can be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa.

Wood believes the key to the program’s success is local support .While Room to Read gives away money and provides books, communities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is proud to say the literacy at her school has improved. Room to Read’s biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy programmes. One way of Room to Read’s success is that it will achieve Wood’s goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015, five years earlier than it is planned.

1.The purpose of the Room to Read campaign is to __________.

A. ask parents to read together with their children

B. help poor children to learn to read and write

C. tell more people the importance of reading

D. help 10 million children to go to college

2.When John Wood travelled in Nepal in 1998, he __________.

A. visited many local schools

B. sent many books to local children

C. started the Room to Read campaign

D. met a man who changed his life

3.The underlined part “the literacy” in the last paragraph refers to（指的是）__________.

A. the teaching conditions

B. the teaching quality

C. students’ ability to read and write

D. the money teachers earn every month

4.John Wood is a person that is ____________.

A. helpful and generous B. honest and brave

C. careless but active D. strict but friendly
