Norcombe Hill.

driver climbed 9 to go back and 10 something that had fallen off.

and she looked 13 to see if the driver was coming back. There was no sign of him. She unwrapped(解开)the
parcel and took out the 14 it contained. The sun shone on her 15 face and hair. 16 it was December, she
looked almost summery, sitting there in her bright red jacket with the 17 green plants around her. She looked

Jack in the Box in Carlsbad and ate a hamburger. She got sick, was rushed to a hospital and never came home.
Lauren was the first to die in a multi-state E. coli outbreak that killed three other children and sickened 700
people.
Like many people, Austin had never heard of E. coli before. At first bewildered, and then angry, Austin
soon became the face of food-safety reform in California and beyond. She co-founded a nonprofit group, Safe
Tables Our Priority (STOP), and pushed successfully for legislation (立法) requiring E. coli to be a reportable
illness, so outbreaks could be followed and stopped sooner.
Nervous initially to be in the spotlight, she learned not to fear politicians for the beef and fast-food industries. She was in the Oval Office when President Clinton signed the most sweeping changes to federal food-inspection law in the 1990s. She was in Sacramento when a state measure named after her daughter passed, indicating
minimum cooking temperatures in restaurants.
Austin, 64, is not sure she has much choice. Every time she thinks she"s handed off the baton (指挥棒) to
others, though, something brings her back. A phone call from a parent who has lost a child to a food-borne
illness. A news story about another outbreak. An event at La Costa Heights Elementary School, where
redheaded Lauren was in first grade and where a memorial garden was planted in her honor.
Fixing food safety meant putting her career as a fashion designer on hold and flying 10 times to Washington DC to testify. It meant going to Sacramento to speak a half-dozen times. She"s not fond of the legislative
process. Asked what she"s proudest of in making her way through all that, she said,"That I didn"t give up." | | 1. What does the underlined word "E. coli" in Paragraph 1 refer to? | A. A fast-food restaurant.
B. A special person.
C. A reportable illness.
D. A state of America. | | 2. The third paragraph is mainly about ______. | A. the great changes in food inspection
B. Austin"s efforts to achieve food safety
C. the standards and practices of safe food
D. the federal plan to monitor food production | | 3. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that _______. | A. food safety problems are very serious
B. Roni Austin was forced to do the job
C. more people are concerned about food safety
D. Roni Austin donated to a memorial garden | | 4. Which of the following is true of Roni Austin? | A. She regretted for what she had done.
B. She used to be a fashion teacher.
C. She founded the organization STOP on her own.
D. She is the representative of food-safety reform. | | 5. What can be the best title for the text? | A. Mother"s Way of Making Food Safe.
B. Painful Reminders, Constant Efforts.
C. Mother"s Pride in Public Services.
D. Handling Sorry, Celebrating Life. | | 完形填空。 | My father woke me up early one summer morning announcing, "Get up. You"re going with me to cut
