举一反三

MSG(monosodium glutamate) is a food additive(食品添加剂),which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original(原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions(反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat(心跳).It was also reported that MSG excited a person’s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders(神经紊乱).In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”,“hydrolyzed protein”and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.
小题1: Monosodium Glutamate is _______
A.a foodB.an additiveC.a factoryD.a country
小题2:MSG is often used in ______.
A.frozen meatsB.cupsC.clothesD.book covers
小题3:The examples in the second paragraph tell us ________.

C.mice like eating the food including MSGD.MSG is not safe sometimes
小题4:If you see “natural flavorings”,“hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you will know ­­­­­­­_____________.
A.you must eat the food in a hidden way
B.the food label must be hidden
C.MSG is probably added to the food
D.you must report the food to your parents
小题5:The underlined word “substance” in the article means __________.

In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls(管理)traffic on the city’s 235 miles of seven expressways. Now one—a controller—can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights. The system uses electric sensors(感应器) that are built into each expressway, every half a mile. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow or red lights on a map in the control room. A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic—cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
“See that red light near Austin Avenue?”the controller asked a visitor.“That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again.“A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,”the controller explained.“They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking the traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressway for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the county there are 2.6.
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”.Systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.“Chicago has taken the lead,”said New York City’s traffic director and he added,“Chicago’s a good example.”

How do you like to go to school like this one in Oxford, England? There are no real classes. The students go from one group to another when they want to. You may find students of fourteen, sixteen or twenty - one years old all in the same group. They work at their own studies. Nobody tells them what they should do or what they shouldn’t do.
The day I visited, school began at nine. Some students were listening to their own lessons. Others were watching TV on physics. A group was working in the library. I didn’t see anybody just sit doing nothing. Everybody was studying.
At lunch time I could see students working, too. They were talking about their lessons while they were eating. When you think of those students, you can be sure it is one of the best schools in the world.

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!”says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote (投票)each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school money, and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
小题1:What"s special about the school?
A.There is nobody but students there.
B.All the students are of the same age.
C.There are no classes for the students.
D.There are no rules in the school.
小题2:What do the students do in the school?
A.They learn everything there from the staff members.
B.They grow up there without learning anything.
C.They spend all the time with their parents.
D.They do whatever they are interested in.
小题3:The school seems to believe that children________.
A.learn best when they are doing what they want
B.are too young to learn anything by themselves
C.can look after themselves without any help
D.can"t go to college without any hard work
小题4:The last paragraph wants to tell us that_         .
A.the writer doesn"t like the idea of the school
B.the school is quite successful in its work
C.most of the parents don"t believe in the school
D.younger students learn better there than older ones
小题5:The underlined word career in the last paragraph most probably means_.
A. family   B. money    C. lifestyle   d. job
