20.At the age of sixteen,I joined a volunteer group with my dad.I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia.On the night we arrived,we discovered that"our family"was living in a trailer(活動(dòng)房車(chē)) that was in poor conditions.A crew had been wolfing on it for two weeks,but every time they finished one problem,another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to bridle a new house-something unusual but necessary under these circumstances.The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms,a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week,while we ate lunch together,I asked the family's three boys,Josh,Eric and Ryan,"What do you want for your new room?"Expecting toys and other gadgets that children suavity ask for,we were astonished when Josh responded,"I just want a bed."
The boys had never slept in a bed!They were accustomed to plastic mats.That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift.On Thursday night,a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming,we told the family about the surprise.We could hardly contain ourselves.It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon,as we fitted the frames of the beds together,Eric ran into the house to watch us.Too dirty to enter his room,he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows,Eric asked,"What is that?"
"A pillow,"he replied.
"What do you do with it?"Eric continued to ask
"When you go to sleep,you put your head on it,"I answered softly.Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow.
"Oh…that's soft,"he said,hugging it tightly.
    Now,when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent,my dad gently asks,"Do you have a pillow?"
    We know exactly what he means.

15.To some,it's a dream job---eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them.But for some food critics,their eyes aren't the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
 Karen Fernau,a food writer for The Arisona Republic,said when she first started her job-she began to gain weight."I always looked forward to lunch before this job,then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day."she says.Nine years later,keeping her weight steady and her health intact (完好無(wú)損的)is a daily battle.If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal,she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day.Now she is always keeping track of what's in the food she eats and she says most people don't even look at or consider it.At one tasting task alone,she says,upward of l,000 calories is often added to her day.That's about half of the recommended total  calories  per day for the average adult.
But even though she's thought of a special eating method,F(xiàn)ernau says sticking to it is a daily battle.And food editors,writers and critics across the country couldn't agree more."When I'm at home or not eating for work,it's healthy food to the extreme,"says Phil Vettel,who's been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years.
Vettle,who eats dinner at four restaurants each week,says unlike most professions,he has no ight to choose."If I'm going out to eat,I can't choose the healthiest thing on the menu,I have to eat when they're bringing me."While Vettel exercises when he can,Joe Yonan,a food editor at The Washington Post,has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago.Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week,on top of his body training three to five times a week.
Still,it's a struggle that many Americans might envy.After all,it's one thing to get your calories from lobster(龍蝦) tails or a delicate(精致的) chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.
50.What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?D
A.The food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurant.
B.The food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feast.
C.There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from.                          
D.The food critics eat delicious food,which also tends to result in gaining weight.
51.What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?A
A.They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on them.
B.They only work for local magazines and newspapers.
C.Once they become food critics,they tend to stay in the job.
D.Their excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job.
52.What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?C
A.Not eating anything except for the free meals.
B.Writing down everything they put into their mouth.
C.Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions.
D.Choosing only the healthy food on  the menu.
53.What can we infer from the last paragraph?C
A.No matter whether the food is expensive or not,the gaining of calories  is the same.
B.The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful.  
C.Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food.
D.Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully.
54.What's the main idea of the passage?D
A.A job offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be.
B.Dishes in the restaurant usually contain too many calories.
C.Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight.
D.Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight.
