26、Scientists have uncovered a fast-food eatery in the ancient Roman town of Pompeii. The remains help with the understanding of foods of Pompeii’s citizens.

About 80 such fast-food eateries have been found at Pompeii. But the latest find means this is the first time such a hot-food-drink eatery – known as a thermopolium – has been completely unearthed. Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Part of the fast-food counter was dug up in 2019 during work to shore up Pompeii’s ruins.

Since then, archaeologists (考古学家) have kept digging, uncovering a multi-sided-counter, with typical wide holes on its top, not unlike these for soup containers put into modern-day salad bars. The front of the counter included works of art showing ducks and chickens. The images brightened the eatery and also likely advertised food. Another image of a dog with a rope around its neck may remind people to keep pets tied up.

Early studies confirm “how the painted works represent, at least in part, the foods and drinks effectively sold inside”, said Valeria Amoretti, an anthropologist at Pompeii. Amoretti noted small pieces of duck bones were found in a food container. Remains of goats, pigs, and fish also were found. At the bottom of a wine container were remains of ground fava beans.

Massimo Osanna added, “We know what they were eating that day.” He was talking about the day of Pompeii destruction. The food remains are examples of “what’s popular with the common folk”. He added that wealthy Romans did not eat at such street-food businesses. Successful restaurant owners know that a good location is important for business. Osanna noted that right outside the eatery was a small square with a fountain. Another thermopolium was nearby.

【1】What can we know about the fast-food eatery?

A．It was the only thermopolium at Pompeii.

B．It was dug up by accident at the beginning.

C．It once was one of the most popular eateries.

D．It was the first hot-food-drink eatery unearthed.

【2】Why were there wide holes on the countertop?

A．They helped to beautify the countertop area.

B．The volcanic eruption damaged the counter.

C．They were used to hold containers for hot food.

D．Food could be stored for a longer time with them.

【3】What did the painted images probably serve as according to Amoretti?

A．Menus.

B．Reminders.

C．Decorations.

D．Advertisements.

【4】What do Osanna’s words imply?

A．The eatery reveals the local’s dining preference.

B．Ancient Romans liked eating at eateries.

C．Street-food business was rare in ancient Rome.

D．Food of Pompeii’s citizens was similar to today’s.

27、If you’d like to learn how to bake bread, here’s a wonderful place to start. This easy white bread recipe bakes up deliciously golden brown.

Makes

● 2 loaves (16 slices each)

Ingredients

● 1 package (7g) active dry yeast

● 2-1/4 cups warm water

● 3 tablespoons sugar plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar

● 1 tablespoon salt

● 2 tablespoons canola oil

● 6-1/4 to 6-3/4 cups bread flour

Directions

● In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on surface. Stir together 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Stir oil into yeast mixture, pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.

● Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

● Punch dough down. Turn into a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

● Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped or has reached an internal temperature of 200 degrees, 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Kitchen Tips

● Be careful that your water isn’t too hot when proofing yeast.

● You can store homemade bread in a plastic bag or a bread box for maximum freshness.

28、A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa had a young family of four little girls. During the Great Depression (大萧条时期), work was hard to find, so Grandpa did whatever jobs he could. On weekends he and Grandma dug a garden to grow some of their own food.

Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food and enjoyed flowers from the garden. Grandma put up strawberry jam, tomatoes, beans, peppers, pears and peaches in canning jars. They were good to eat through the long winter.

The family grew up, and grandparents grew old. It became hard to keep up the garden, so they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.

Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was watch from his lawn chair as the vegetables grew and the roses bloomed. Summer slowly faded, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest.

It was a lonely winter for Grandma. She sat near the window, looking out at the yard and wondering if she could plant a garden in the spring. When spring came, she planted only a little garden.

One sunny day in the early summer, Grandma heard a commotion (骚动) in the front yard and looked out the window to see a frightening sight. A huge swarm of bees filled the air between two tall trees. The buzzing sound was very loud.

The bees made their way into a hole up in one of the trees. Before long, every one of those bees had disappeared into its new home. During the next few days, the bees were busy minding their own business. Grandma could always see a few bees buzzing in and out around the opening high in the tree. Before long, she decided the bees weren’t bothering anyone, so she didn’t give them another thought.

That summer, Grandma’s little garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the huge crop of vegetables and puzzle over their own gardens weren’t doing well.

One day, Grandma’s brother Frank visited from Arizona. As Grandma made Frank a delicious lunch of squash cakes and homemade applesauce, she told him the story about the swarm of bees. Frank said, “In Arizona, the farmers often hired beekeepers to set up beehives near their fields. The bees pollinated (授粉) the crops and helped them to grow.”

That was when Grandma realized that her bees had helped with her garden all summer. “So that’s why my little garden had such a big crop!” she exclaimed.

From that time on, Grandma always believed that since Grandpa couldn’t be there to help her that summer, he had sent the bees to take his place and make Grandma’s little garden grow and grow.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The garden was dug by Grandparents during the Great Depression.

B. The garden provided enough food and flowers for the family.

C. The garden was made smaller as Grandparents grew older.

D. The garden once lay in waste after Grandpa passed away.

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. Grandma was too busy to hire someone to deal with the bees.

B. Grandma felt very lonely and helpless when Grandpa passed away.

C. Frank hired beekeepers to help Grandma keep the garden growing.

D. Grandpa turned into bees to help Grandma keep up the garden.

【3】The method the author uses in the underlined sentence is _______.

A. offering analyses   B. providing explanations

C. making comparison   D. giving examples

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Grandpa’s Bees    B. Grandparents’ Garden

29、With the short amount of time you have on this planet and the vast amount of things you could be spending your time improving on, it only makes sense that you will end up being average or bad at a lot of things and that's okay.

There are some who put so much pressure on themselves to be great at everything they attempt that they find it hard to be happy. No matter how talented you may be, your talent is limited to only a few things.

People who are one of the best in the world at something are only average at most other things. Michael Jordan is a basketball legend but when it came to attempting to be great at baseball, it just didn't work out.

Choose a couple of things you really enjoy doing and focus on becoming great at those things. Maybe you'd rather be average at a bunch of things instead and that's fine too. There are plenty of people who are good enough at a ton of things and all it takes is a bit of practice.

If you want to be really great at something, however, enough where you can actually make a career out of it, it's going to take a lot of time and energy, which means you'll have less time for other things. That means you'll be average or really crappy at most things.

As long as you' re great at one or a few things, being average at everything else is okay. And how do you become great at something? Practice—lots and lots of practice.

【1】If you press yourself to be good at everything, how will you feel probably?

A．Unhappy

B．Confident.

C．Content.

D．Ashamed.

【2】Why is Michael Jordan mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To attract the readers.

B．To honor the great player.

C．To introduce another topic.

D．To support the author' s opinion

【3】What is the probable meaning of the underlined word "crappy" in paragraph 5?

A．Expert.

B．Bad

C．Angry

D．Amazed.

【4】What message does the author want to convey in the text?

A．It doesn't matter if you' re ordinary.

B．It's possible to be good at everything.

C．Hard work can make talents unlimited

D．What you are good at really matters.
