Do termites（白蚁）sound delicious? If you were living in Mexico or Thailand or Kenya, the idea of eating insects（昆虫）might not seem strange and unusual to you at all.For thousands of years, insect-eating, has been common practice among many of the world’s people.According to insect-eaters around the world, insects are tasty.―When they are cooked, I find termites really delicious,‖ Arnold Van Huis of Wageningen University in the Netherlands said.Van Huis is an insect scientist.He also studies insect-eating.He has traveled the world to learn how different groups of people collect insects and prepare them as food.Insect fans say insects are not only tasty, they are also nutritious（有营养的）.Many are full of protein, vitamins and minerals.Van Huis is working with other scientists to encourage insect-eating.According to the United Nations, the world’s population is now almost 7 billion.It is expected to reach 9 billion before 2050.By that time, the need for meat is expected to double.Raising animals such as cows and sheep requires large areas of farmland, and feeding the animals can be expensive.―We have to find other choicesof meat,‖ Van Huis says.―One good choice is eating insects.‖

Raising insects, which are able to live in crowded quarters, requires le land, says Van Huis.Insects are also cheaper to feed, since they can eat food scraps, such as potato skin.Not only can insects eat our scraps, but also they require much le food and water than cows or sheep.―A cow wastes most of its energy just keeping warm,‖ Brian Fisher, an insect scientist in the U.S.says.But since insects are cold-blooded, they use more of what they eat to grow.For insect-eating to become the mainstream, Fisher says people must have a chance to sample delicious, ready-to-eat insects.If you want a try, it is poible to order insect dishes at a few restaurants.53.What do you know from the first paragraph?

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community（社区）.As a result, all students must complete sixty hours of service learning, or they can not finish the education in high school.Service learning is a school subject that also helps the community.Examples of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching a student.During a service experience, students must keep a diary and then write a report about what they have learned.Supporters state that there are many benefits of service learning.Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think beyond their own interests and realized the needs of others.Students are also able to learn real-life skills that include responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team.Finally, students can think about poible careers（职业）through service learning.For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school claroom a few afternoons each month.While there are many benefits, people who disagree with service learning point out problems with the new requirement.First, they hold their opinion that the main reason students go to school is to learn key subjects and skills.Because service learning takes too much time, students spend le time studying the key subjects.Second, they believe that forcing students to work without pay goes against the law.By requiring service, the school takes away a person’s freedom to choose.In my opinion, service learning is a great way to contribute to the community, learn new skills, and think about different careers.However, I don’t believe you should force people to help others —the wish to help must come from the heart.I think the best way is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of self-study or sixty hours of service.Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to deal

Text meaging, or ―texting‖, which allows people to send and receive meages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.The advantages(优势)of texting are obvious(明显的).Texting helps to save money.If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending meages can be cheaper than phone calling.Texting helps to save time.Even if you want to send a meage to 100 people, you can do it one second.Texting helps you to ―talk‖ to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone.Texting can also help you to ―talk‖ to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone.These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it.They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of meages each day, and even text while driving or walking.However, texting has its disadvantages.Junk meages may come into your mobile phone box now and then.When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more meages.You may mi some important information.What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous.It can cause injuries(伤害)and even death.It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year.In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011.Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others.When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them.About 32 countries have paed laws restricting(限制)the use of mobile phones while driving.Texting is a wonderful way of communication.However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.54.How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the paage?

All the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure.The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.I’m very interested in people and finding out about them.Some of the most amazing people I’ve met could only be found in a writer’s imagination(想象), then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination.I’ve found in books new friends and new worlds.Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work.Your own imagination works along with the writer’s or even goes beyond his.Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city.Although they are separate(分开的), in some way they are connected with each other.The same ideas, or related(相关的)ones, appear in different places;the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解决方法)according to different writings at different times.Books influence each other.They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families.Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be.If you concentrate on(专注于)books somebody tells you ―ought‖ to read, you probably won’ t have fun.But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t suffer during the proce.57.Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?
