閱讀短文，并按要求完成文后小題。

Halfway through middle school, almost everyone has developed their own learning method. Yes, a recent conversation with my deskmate gave me a new thought on how to study wisely.

She was a typical procrastinator(拖拉的人) in our teachers’ eyes. However, I wonder how she tried to make gradual progress. Once, I asked her, “How do you improve your grades even without handing in homework on time?” She answered, “Handing in homework late doesn’t mean that I don’t study. I just review and learn first, then do my homework.”

So I suddenly realized that she wasn’t procrastinating, but taking her time to think. When reviewing, she was looking for her weakness and then strengthening them.

When we learn a new thing, we remember it best. Then we gradually forget it. A few days later, we may only be able to recall only a bit of it, or even nothing at all. Reviewing helps us better learn new knowledge. It helps us turn short-term memories into long-term memories.

On normal school days, when students don’t have to prepare for big exams, they should review their work and learn from their mistakes. Once it gets close to exams, it’s always wise to start preparing for them.

Therefore, we need to know how to study wisely. Otherwise, even if we spend a lot of time studying, there won’t be any improvement.

The writer has a new thought on ____________________________________ after talking with her deskmate recently.

Food is a major（主要的）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.

1.People of Egypt usually start a day with________.

A.a drink B.a bagel C.some meat D.some vegetables

2.In which country do people consider lunch the largest meal?

A.Egypt. B.France. C.Brazil. D.The United States.

3.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Ways of life B.Eating habits.

C.Delicious food. D.Restaurant culture.
