    Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known
for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing  drinks for dozens of  friends.
Just for fun, he  and some friends  decided to  tape a show named Campus  Cuisine  about his  cooking.
Lieberman was a real college student  showing his  classmates how to do things  like make  drinks out of
dining-hall fruit. That  helped the  show become  very popular among  the students. They would stop
Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with
which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
    Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He
says  Lieberman's  charisma is key. "Food TV isn't  about food  anymore," says Flay. " "It' s about your
personality(個性) and finding a way to keep people's eyeballs on your show."
    But Lieberman isn't putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show,
Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company  (航空公司)
was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its
flights. Lieberman got the job.
1. We can learn from the text that Lieberman's family _______.
A. have relatives in Europe
B. love cooking at home
C. often hold parties
D. own a restaurant
2. The Food Network got to know Lieberman _______.
A. at one of his parties
B. from his teachers
C. through his taped show
D. on a television program
3. What does the word "charisma" underlined in the text refer to?
A. A natural ability to attract others.
B. A way to show one's achievement.
C. Lieberman's after-class interest.
D. Lieberman's fine cooking skill.
4. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?
A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.
B. He was famous for his shows on the Food TV.
C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.
D. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.
5. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?

sweets himself. He told the father to bring his son back after a month.  
     During the month, the great man tried to give up eating sweets. At last he did it. When the boy and his
father returned after a month, the great man had a talk with the boy. From then on, the boy didn't ask for
sweets anymore.
     The boy's father felt surprised, "Why didn't you ask my son to give up sweets when we came to you
a month ago?" The man answered, "How could I ask a boy to give up sweets when I loved sweets
myself? In the last month I gave up eating sweets. "
     A person's example is always stronger than words. We should not ask others to do what we can't do
ourselves.

     When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look
like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but
he was a very kind person.
     When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a
large field and wanted to make it a forest.
     The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never
watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled
them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and
weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker
trees early on.
     He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees
that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth
by themselves. Deep roots were very important.
     So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak and, instead of watering
it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he
did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
     Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I
walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about
twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted some trees a
few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years
of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
     Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈禱)
that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a
cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that
reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, they
could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.
1. What does the underlined word "shallow" in the fourth paragraph probably
mean?
A. Near to the surface of the earth.
B. Short.
C. Thin.
D. Weak.
2. The writer's trees shake a lot whenever a cold wind blows because ______.
A. he has never beaten his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
B. he didn't often water his trees
C. his trees are younger than Dr. Gibbs'
D. he has done too many things for his trees
3. The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that his sons will ______.
A. not catch a cold in the rain easily
B. be strong enough in the cold wind in winter
C. be better at planting trees
D. be stronger in their lives
4. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Watering Trees
B. Growing Roots
C. How to Be a Father
D. How to Plant Trees

     Although it's foolish to smoke, fifty million people in the United States still do that. Most of them
want to give up smoking, but smoking is a habit that is not easy to break. Luckily, thirty-five million
Americans have stopped it.
     Frank used to (過去常常) smoke a lot. He started to smoke when he was 16. Many of his friends
were doing it, and it made him feel like a grown-up. His parents told him that he was making a mistake,

began to worry. Frank called the doctor. The doctor told him that Helen should drive him to the hospital
right away. They examined his heart, took a chest X-ray, and kept him in the hospital overnight (一整夜).
      The next day his doctor read the X-ray report. He told Frank that he was okay, and that he could
be back to work after a few days' rest. But he advised him to stop smoking. Frank and Helen were very
happy. They were afraid that they were going to get bad news.
