At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the dining hall can get a coupon(优惠券) when they return their tray(餐盘). They can exchange coupons for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
“It’s been a big surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in the university of Shanghai. “It makes us try our best to finish the food!”
But some food in the dining hall is so poorly prepared that students are reluctant to finish it all. Some schools have paid some attention to it.
“The dishes in our canteen are all right, generally speaking. We’ve tried our best to make it tasty. But of course it’s difficult to make all the students love it.” said Wang.
Other universities also pay attention to the size of food. At Nanjing University, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from.
“I like to try different dishes at each meal. So I had to throw away a lot of food because the bowls were too big. But now the dining hall offers small sizes. It’s great because I can try different dishes at half price and don’t waste so much food,” said Fan Peng, a student from Nanjing University.
But what if you really can’t finish all your food? Some universities also provide a take-away service. If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the leftovers home. Even if you feed the cat, it’s not wasted.
So you see, if we call on students not to waste food, schools should also improve the service and meal quality.
小题1:How can the students at East China University of Science and Technology get a coupon?
A.They eat up all the food and wash the tray.
B.They return the tray in the dining hall.
C.They finish all the food and return the tray.
D.They wash the tray and return it.
小题2:In some universities, if you can’t finish all your food, you can __________________.
A.leave the food on the table and go awayB.share it with your friends
C.give the food back to the dining hallD.take it away with a box
小题3:The underlined word “reluctant” in this passage means ___________ in Chinese.
A.开心的B.饥饿的C.不情愿的D.不可能的
小题4: In order to reduce the waste, universities do a lot of things except _____________.
A.trying to make the food as delicious as possible.
B.offering different sizes of the food.
C.exchanging trays for coupons and gifts.
D.raising the price of the food.
小题5:Where can we read this passage?

On the bus, on the subway, every head is lowered to a cell phone, iPad, or other digital device. But does this mean more and more people are getting into reading the digital way?
According to the National Reading Survey, before the 17th World Reading Day on April 23, only 1.2 percent of Chinese people said they read a lot. But 38.6 percent said they read on digital devices like cell phone and e-books. This is a 17.7 percent increase from 2010.
Many experts are talking about a trend toward fragmented reading ––reading many short messages or items on a digital device like a cell phone instead of one long text in a book.
Zhao jianmin, a professor at Shanghai University, said fragmented reading was part of modern life. “The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book,” he said. “So making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend”
Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can enjoy large amounts of information, knowledge and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading.
However, some experts fear the trend of digital reading will lead people to read in a simple way. Xu Guosheng, at a Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, says fragmented reading makes it harder for people to think more about what they read. He also warned fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts because they know they can always just search for answers online.
“Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but don’t let it take all your time,” suggested Tian Zhilng, an editor. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way, and we should read for knowledge, for practical use and for pleasure. He suggested people choose easy books first, then move onto more difficult ones.
小题1:How many disadvantages of fragmented reading have been mentioned?
A.1B.2 C.3 D.4
小题2: How does Tian Zhiling think about people should read?
A.They should spend more time reading on digital device.
B.They should spend days reading whole novels at a time.
C.They should read both on digital devices and quality books.
D.They should read a fun way instead of a traditional way.
小题3:The underlined word “pace” means _________ in Chinese.
A.行走B.步骤C.节奏D.步测
小题4:What can we learn from the article?
A.Chinese people read in a simple way these days.
B.Students should read more to get high marks.
C.Reading on a digital device is harmful to health.
D.People’s reading habits are changing.
小题5:What is the main idea of the article?
A.The results of a national reading survey.
B.An explanation of a new trend in reading.
C.The advice on how to read the digital way.
D.A call to return to traditional deep reading.

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m in Rheinburg, Germany, visiting the Extra Future Store. The “store of the future” is attracting a lot of attention these days– but not for it’s prices. Instead, people are coming from all over to experience a new way to shop.
The experience is less like shopping in a supermarket and more like playing some kind of high–tech game. It starts as I enter the store and choose a shopping cart(购物车). First, I swipe my store ID card through a computer on the cart. The computer’s screen comes on, a map of the store shows, and the journey begins.
As I shop, antennas(天线) around the store send information about different specials to the computer on my cart. Attracted by one of the ads, I choose a box of cheese. I hold up the box to the computer. It displays the price and also suggests that a certain type of bread would be good with it. The map on my chart shows me where to find the bread. It’s like the store is helping me to shop.
How does the store make this kind of shopping experience possible? The answer is radio frequency identification chip (or RFID射频识别). Each chip has a special number. Using an RFID reader on the computer, we can get information from a chip about the product(产品). RFID will help shoppers find the things in a store more quickly– products that are just right for them. In addition, people won’t have to wait in long lines to pay. The things in your cart will be read by the computer and the money will be paid by your store ID card automatically(自动地). So you can simply walk out of the store with your shopping bags.
Sounds good, right? Maybe you will experience the new shopping soon in your city.
小题1:Why are so many people coming to the Extra Future Store?
A.They hope to buy a new kind of computers.
B.They want to play some new high– tech games.
C.They expect to experience a new way of shopping.
D.They plan to learn how to use the FRID readers.
小题2:What is the right order to shop in this store?
①Look for the things you want to buy and find them.
②Swipe your store ID card through the computer.
③Walk out of the store without waiting in lines.
④The computer shows you a map and some ads.
⑤Hold up the things to the computer to be charged.
A.②①④③⑤B.①②⑤③④C.②①⑤③④D.②④①⑤③
小题3:What are Not so necessary for this kind of new stores?
A.Carts with computers.B.RFID readers.
C.Many shop assistants.D.Good products.
小题4: Which of the following is the advantage of this new store?
A.The things in the shop are much cheaper.
B.It costs more time to find the things you need.
C.You will buy more things than you really need.
D.It’s more convenient to find the products and to pay.
