1．We love food and drink.We love to celebrate the good stuff and criticize the bad.This is our take on the top three food cultures and destinations：It's time to find out once and for all，which cuisine is king as you plan where you'll travel next：
No.3 France
You can spend an entire two-week vacation exploring combinations of wines and cheeses around the country.
Yum
Escargot --- credit the French for turning garden-dwelling pests into a delicacy.Massive respect for making them taste amazing too.
Baguette --- the first and last thing that you'll want to eat in France The first bite is superb；the last will be full of longing.
Dumb
Foie gras --- it tastes like 10，000 ducks roasted in butter then reduced to a velvet pudding.
No.2 China
The people who greet each other with "Have you eaten yet？" are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world.The Chinese almost cook and sell anything，and they also make it taste great.
Yum
Sweet and sour pork --- a guilty pleasure that has taken on different forms.
Dim sum --- a grand tradition from Hong Kong 10.New York.The best to start a day as breakfast.
Dumb
Shark's fin soup --- calling for Chinese restaurants to ban the dish has been a goal of green campaigners in recent years.
No.1 Italy
Italian food has enslaved taste-buds around the globe for centuries，with its tomato sauces，and those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts.
Yum
Pizza --- simple yet satisfying dish.Staple diet of bachelors and college students.
Coffee --- cappuccino is for breakfast？Forget it.We want it all day and all night.
Dumb
Buffalo mozzarella --- those balls of water buffalo milk.The flavor's so subtle you have to imagine it.

2．That was how the adventures began.It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of，and it was full of unexpected places.The first few doors they tried led only into spare bedrooms，as everyone had expected that they would；but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures；and after that was a room all hung with green，with a harp in one corner；and then a kind of little upstairs hall and a door that led out on to a balcony.And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe，the sort that has a looking-glass in the door.
"Nothing there!" Everybody rushed out but Lucy stayed because she thought it would be worthwhile trying the door of the wardrobe，even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked.To her surprise，it opened quite easily，and two mothballs dropped out.
Looking into the inside，she saw several coats hanging up --- mostly long fur coats.There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur.She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them，leaving the door open，of course，because she knew，that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe…She took a step further in --- then two or three steps，always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers.But she could not feel it.
"This must be a simply vast wardrobe!" thought Lucy，going still further in.Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet. "Is that more mothball？" she thought，stooping down to feel it with her hand.But instead of feeling the hard，smooth wood，she felt something soft and powdery and extremely cold. "This is very queer，" she said，and went on a step or two further.
…And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her；…A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.

3．Stories are shared in many ways.They are described in books and magazines.They are read around the campfire at night.They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths.But what else？
To revive literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction，Short Edition，a French publisher of short-form literature，has set up more than 30 story dispensers（分發(fā)機(jī)） in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants，universities and government offices.
Francis Ford Coppola，the film director and winemaker，liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco.Last month，public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up，too.There is one on the campus at Penn State.A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach，F(xiàn)la.And Short Edition plans to announce more，including at the Los Angeles International Airport.
"Everything old is new again，" said Andrew Nurkin，director of the Free Library of Philadelphia，which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. "We want people to be easily exposed to literature.We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity."
Here's how a dispenser works.It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute，three minutes or five minutes.When a button is pushed，a short story is printed.
The stories are free.They are chosen from a computer category of more than.100，000 original submissions by writers whose works have，been evaluated by Short Edition's judges，and transmitted over a mobile network.Offerings can be tailored to specific interests，like children's fiction or romance.Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.
Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. "The idea is to make people happy，" said Kristan Leroy，director of Short Edition. "There is too much unhappiness today."

9．Most young kids are very self-centered most of the time.It's like their brain meters are stuck on "selfish." This certainly described me，until I met my dear grandmother.
My father had been born in Japan，and he had many old，old photographs of the palatial （宮殿般的） estate that had belonged to his family through many generations.He told me stories of gorgeous rooms full of golden furniture and silk wall papers.He also described magnificent gardens，full of the sweet scents of exotic flowers and the gentle thin stream of graceful fountains.
From all these，I figured my grandmother must be rich.I had never met her before she came from Japan，but at eight，I reasoned that if I were nice to her，she would take me back to Japan to live in luxury.It was a good plan，I thought，and I vowed to spend time with my grandmother so she would grow to love me and want me to accompany her upon her return.
We went to pick her up at the airport. "There she is!" my father called.I expected to see some royal kimono-clad （穿著和服的） creature like I'd seen in pictures.Instead，I saw a tiny woman with silver hair，wearing an ordinary blue suit.She did not look wealthy to me.Still，I vowed to be attentive，to make myself indispensable to her during her stay.
To get closer to her，I flattered her into telling me stories about old Japan.She enjoyed making needlecraft with delicate designs，and as she worked，she wove tales of Japanese legends and history as delicate and beautiful as the designs she created.I listened，fascinated.Her words were a mix of the two languages，so I didn't completely understand everything at first.Interestingly，however，as her English improved，so did my understanding of Japanese.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Para 1：
No one spoke of her going back，and I was like an ant on a hot griddle.
Para 2：
My dreams of a luxurious life had been broken.
