The answer was a big, fat NO!The USDA found that most American schools served lunches with too much fat and salt. They also found that most of the fruits and vegetables in the lunches came from cans (罐头). Canned fruits and vegetables are not as good as fresh ones.The USDA gives schools food and money to make lunches. But schools make up their own menus. Some make healthy lunches. Most do not. Now the USDA wants all schools to serve more healthy lunches. They want schools to follow the USDA’s guidelines for balanced (均衡) meals.Mike Sanders, in charge of the USDA in 2008, said the USDA should teach school workershow to make healthier lunches. ―A good school lunch is just as important as a good textbook,‖Sanders said. He said that children also need to learn about healthy foods.The USDA is working on a new program—Fresh Start. It will give schools more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh Start will also help schools change their lunches to make them healthier. To find the best way to change lunches, the USDA held meetings with parents, school leaders, doctors, and cooks.Children already eat healthy lunches at Chief Joseph School in North Saratoga, Oregon. They have whole-wheat bread with low–fat cheese, and low-fat milk.42, What did the USDA find about lunches in most American schools in 2008?A. They were mostly fruits and vegetables.B. They contained too much fat and salt.C. Most American students prefer canned food to fresh ones.D. Most of them were healthy.43, What are schools required to do to make the lunches healthy?A. Provide balanced meals.B. Make up new guidelines.C. Design their own menus.D. Cook with more vegetables.44, What was Mike Sanders?A. An office secretary.B. A school headmasterC. The head of the USDA.D. The director of Fresh Start.45, What is the goal of the Fresh Start program?A. Selling fresh fruits and vegetables.B. Employing good cooks for schools.C. Helping improve the school lunches.D. Finding a better way to talk with parents.语篇填空（每题1.5分，合计15分）In the late afternoon, we found it was so cold 46 our water bottles froze. 47 , the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.

It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fis herman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gu lps.“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish cos ts only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish h ead. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for br ain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at t he fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman l aughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”21. The boy ate up the raw fish head only in two gulps, becau se he __________.A. enjoy itB. wanted to taste itC. took it as a good medicineD. was a foolish boy22. “Not in my head” means “__________.”A. The fish head was not in the boy’s headB. The boy felt nothing came into his headC. It’s difficult to give an answer right awayD. The boy didn’t feel that he was cleverer23. The boy paid three pounds. He should have had ________ __.A. a whole fishB. a fish head and one pound backC. a whole fish and one pound backD. a whole fish, a fish head and one pound backBRecently a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the e xercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of ev ery penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend th eir money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you arevery good friends. But you’ll know him only when you ask t o lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before. Or it can s uddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person ma y say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is important to us, we consider those who pos sess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed so me millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have disco vered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me s o much respect.
