　　Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day．English speakers are always making up new words, and we are often able to know where most come from．

　　Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from．Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called“hamburgers”, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)?About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe．They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg．They didn't speak good English, but they ate good food．When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what they were．The Germans didn't understand the question and answered,“We come from Hamburg．”O(jiān)ne of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea．He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef in them and started selling them．Such bread came to be called“hamburgers”．Today,“Hamburgers”are sold in many countries around the world．

　　Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting．Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too．This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary．

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從每題所給的(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)四個選項中選出最佳答案。

Most children with healthy appetites(食欲) are ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother refuses some vegetables in the child's hearing, he may copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthy should be got out of from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small part and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he may eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal, or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room. On no condition(任何情況下都不) must a child be coaxed(哄騙) or made to eat.

1．A child with a healthy appetite will eat ________ if it is not badly cooked.

[　　]

A．only a little of the food

2．________ can make a child like eating more.

[　　]

A．Offering as much as possible

B．Playing with toys

C．The way a meal is well cooked and served

D．The way parents eat

3．Which of the following is a good action before a child during meal times?

[　　]

A．To discuss the food a parent dislikes.

B．To ask a child what food he likes or dislikes.

C．Never to discuss likes or dislikes of food.
