COME AND EAT HERE (1)

Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant 1 (feel) very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of 2 (barbecue )mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to 3 full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could 4 happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be 5 (good)," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang 6 (hurry) by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed 7 to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant 8 he always did.

Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.

9 (tire)of all that fat? Want to lose weight?

Come insid e Yong Hui’s slimm ing restaurant.

Only slimming foods served here.

Make yourself thin again!

Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name

is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There 10 few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables 11 (serve) in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!

At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant serve d far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too littl e. Even though her customers might get thin after 12 (eat) Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:

Want to feel fit and 13 ( energy) ?

Come and eat here! Discounts today!

Our food gives you energy all day!

The 14 (compete) between the two restaurants was on!

COME AND EAT HERE(2)

A week 15 (late), Wang Peng' s restaurant was nearly full and he felt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his living after all and not have to close his restaurant. He did not look forward to 16 (be) in debt because his restaurant was no longer popular. He smiled as he welcomed some customers warmly at the door but the smile left his face when he saw Yong Hui walking in. She did not look happy but glared 17 him. " May I ask 18 you were doing in my restaurant the other day? I thought you were a new customer and now I know that you only came to spy on me and my menu," she shouted. “Pleas e excuse me," he calmly explained," I wanted to know 19 all my customers had gone last week. I followed one of 20 and found them in your restaurant. I don' t want to upset you, but I found your menu 21 limited that I stopped worrying and started advertising the benefits of my food. Why don' t you sit down and try a meal?"

Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying dumplings and breast of chicken cooked with garlic. When they were served the ice cream,Yong Hui began to look ill. "I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food,"she said,"I miss my vegetables and fruit. "Wang Peng was enjoying 22 second plate of dumplings so he sighed. " Yes," he added," and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. Don't you get tired quickly?" "Well, I do have to rest a lot," admitted Yong Hui. "But

don't you think it would be better if you were a bit thinn er? I’m sure you ' d feel much healthier. "

They began to talk about menus and 23 (balan ce )diets. " According to my research, neither your restaurant 24 mine offers a balanced diet," explained Wang Peng. “I don' t offer enough fibre and you don' t offer enough body-building and energy-giving food. Perhaps we ought to combine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with food full of energy and fibre. " So that is 25 they did. They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than frying them. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way they cut 26 the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became- 27 a success that before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight. After some time the two found that their business cooperation had turned into a personal one. Finally they got 28 ( marry ) and lived happily ever after!

HOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTH

No one knows exactly 1 the earth began, as it happened so long ago. However, according to a widely 2 (accept) theory, the universe began with a "Big Bang" that threw matter 3 all directions.After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and 4 bodies.

For several billion years after the "Big Bang", the earth was still just a cloud of dust. 5 it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became 6 violent that 7 was not clear whether the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time to produce carbon, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases, 8 were to make the earth's atmosphere. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.

Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the 9 (develop) of life. What many scientists believe is that the continued 10 (prese nt) of water allowed the earth 11 (dissolve) harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.

Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas 12 oxygen, 13 encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were 14 （follow）in time by land animals. Some were insects. Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well 15 in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared 16 the first time. They produced young gener ally by 17 (lay ) eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. 18 they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth 19 young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.

Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now 20 hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are 21 looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat 22 escaping from the earth into space. As a result 23 this, many scientists

believe the earth may become 24 hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend 25 whether this problem can be solved.

A VISIT TO THE MOON

Last month I was 1 (luck) enough to have a chance to make a trip into space with my friend Li Yanping , 2 astronomer. We visited the moon in our spaceship!

Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and 3 the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the rocket rose into the air, we were 4 (push) back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth's gravity. It was 5 hard that we could not say anything to each other. 6 (Gradual) the weight lessened and I was able to talk to him. "Why is the spaceship 7 falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground." I asked. "We are too far from the earth now to feel its pull," he explained, "so we feel as if there is no gravity at all. When we get closer to the moon, we shall feel its gravity 8 (pull) us, but it will not be 9 strong a pull as the earth's." I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin 10 watch) the earth become smaller and the moon larger.

When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately. "Come on,"

I said. "If you are right, my mass will be 11 (little ) than on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able to move more freely.

I might even grow taller 12 I stay here long enough. I shall certainly weigh less!" I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship. But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and 13 (fall ) over. "Oh dear," I cried, "walking 14 need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed." After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy 15 .

16 (Leave) the moon's gravity was not as painful as leaving the earth's. But returning to the earth was very 17 (frighten). We watched, amazed as fire broke 18 on the outside of the spaceship as the earth's gravity increased. Again we were pushed hard into our seats as we came back to land. "That was very exhausting but very exciting too," I said. "Now I know much more 19 gravity! Do you think we could visit some stars next time?" "Of course," he smiled, " 20 star would you like to go to?"

A TRIP ON "THE TRUE NORTH"

Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada 1 （visit）their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train west to east across Canada. The thought 2 they could cross the whole continent was exciting.

Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take 3 and their baggage to catch "The True North", the cross-Canada train. 4 the way to the station, he 5 (chat)about their trip. "You're going to see some great scenery. 6 (go)eastward, you'll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less 7 five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you're in Canada's warmest part. People say it is Canada's most beautiful city, 8 (surround) by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Skiing in the Rocky Mountains and sailing in the harbour make Vancouver one of Canada's most popular cities to live 9 . Its population is increasing rapidly. The north coast of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are 10 (extreme) tall, some 11 (measure) over 90 metres."

That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settled down in their seats. Earlier that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they

managed to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous 12 the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift 13 riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes.

After two 14 (day) travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and Canada's population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such 15 empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact 16 ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes. Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any 17 country in the world. In fact, it has one-third of the world's total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.

That night as they slept, the train rushed across the top of Lake Superior, through the great forests and southward towards Toronto.

“THE TURE NORTH”FROM TORON TO TO MONTREAL The next morning the bushes and maple trees outside their

windows were red, gold and orange, and there was frost on the ground, 18 (confirm )that fall had arrived in Canada.

Around noon they arrived in Toronto, the biggest and most wealthy city in Canada. They were not leaving 19 Montreal until later, so they went on a tour of the city. They went up the tall CN Tower and looked across the lake. 20 the distance, they could see the misty cloud that rose from the great Niagara Falls, which is on the south side of the lake. The water flows into the Niagara River and over the falls on its way to the sea.

They saw the 21 (cover) stadium, home of several famous basketball teams. As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said, "Lin Fei, one of my mother's old schoolmates, lives here. I should phone her from a telephone booth."

They met Lin Fei around dusk in downtown Chinatown, one of the three in Toronto. Over dinner at a restaurant 22 (call) The Pink Pearl, the cousins chatted with Lin Fei, 23 had moved to Canada many years earlier. "We can get good Cantonese food here," Lin Fei told them, "because most of the Chinese people here come from South China, especially Hong Kong. It's too bad you can't go as far as Ottawa, Canada's capital. It's approximately four hundred kilometres northeast of Toronto, so it would take too long."

The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal at dawn the

next morning. At the station, people everywhere were speaking French. There were signs and ads in French, but some of them had English words 24 smaller letters. "We don't leave until this evening," said Liu Qian. "Let's go downtown. Old Montreal is close to the water." They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and 25 (visit) artists in their workplaces beside the water. As they sat in a buffet restaurant looking over the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them.

"Hello, my name is Henri. I'm a student at the university nearby," he said, "and I was wondering 26 you are from." The girls told him they were on a train trip across Canada and that they had only one day in Montreal. "That's too bad," he said. "Montreal is a city 27 wonderful restaurants and clubs. Most of us speak 28 English and French, but the city has French culture and traditions. We love good coffee, good bread and good music."

That night as the train was speeding along the St Lawrence River toward the Gulf of St Lawrence and down to the 29 (dista nce)east coast, the cousins dreamed of French restaurants and red maple 30 (leaf).
