閱讀理解（共45分）第一節(jié)閱讀短文，選擇正確答案（每題3分，共30分）

• 1．What's delicious，healthy to eat and comes in various colors？Eggplant!And no，it has nothing to do with chickens!This strangely named vegetable is，however，as versatile as an egg.It can be steamed fried or baked.It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and other vegetables.
     Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5^th century B.C.Its popularity soon spread to China and then throughout Asia.Finally，during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe.At that time，eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today.Instead，it was like a white egg.Due to this egg---like appearance，eggplant got its name.In its early days，the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a "mad apple".This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one's health.People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity（精神錯(cuò)亂）and cancer.
     Fortunately，today people know that eggplant doesn't cause insanity or cancer.In fact，eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer.In addition，the brain and the heart benefit from this supper vegetable.Since it is high in fiber，eggplant can also improve digestion.
     Italy，Turkey，Egypt，China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today.Depending on its location，eggplant may be purple，green，orange or yellow---white.And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber.Dish diversities range from simple to complex，with all of them being delicious.
     Today，thousands of people are gathering in Loomis，Calif，for the 23^rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival.The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes.There is plenty more to do and see，though.Recipe contests，arts and crafts，performers，races and children's activities all "egg---cite" festival---goers.Most people at the festival would agree---eggplant is an "egg---cellent" vegetable!

• 2．All schoolchildren should have "happiness" lessons up to the age of 18 to fight growing levels of depression，according to a senior government adviser.
     "Pupils should study subjects such as how to manage feelings，attitudes to work and money，channeling negative emotions and even how to take a critical view of the media，" said Lord Richard Layard，a Labor peer and professor of economics at the London School of Economics.
     The proposal comes only days after the Government said that lessons in manners ---including respect for the elderly and how to say "please" and "thank you" --- should be taught in secondary schools to combat bad behaviors.
     Lord Layard，the director of the wellbeing program at the LSE's Center for Economic Performance，said： "Learning hard things takes a large amount of practice.To play the violin well takes 10，000 hours of practice.How can we expect people to learn to be happy without large amounts of practice and repetition？"
     It is believed that at least two percent of British children under 12 now struggle with significant depression.Among teenagers，the figure rises to five percent.A UNICEF study involving 21 developed countries showed that British children were the least satisfied with their lives，while the World Health Organization predicts that childhood psychiatric（精神的）disorders will rise by 50 percent by 2020.
     In a speech at Cambridge University，Lord Layard said that the Government's lessons in manners did not go far enough. "We need a devotion to producing a major specialism in this area，with a serious teacher training program，" he said.
     However，happiness lessons have been criticized by academics.Frank Furedi，a sociology professor at Kent University and author of Therapy Culture，said： "In pushing emotional literacy（素養(yǎng)），what some teachers are really doing is abandoning teaching.They are giving up and talking about emotions instead，so that children value all this activity more than maths，English or science.What is amazing about this is that time and time again，research says that it does not work."
  
  （1）What does Lord Layard think of the Government's lessons in manners？

  
  A．They can hardly meet the special demands of education.
  B．They are quite enough to the special the present problem.
  C．They only focused on a major specialism.
  D．They will probably end in failure.
  （2）What do we know about British children from the passage？

  
  A．They suffer depression at an earlier age.
  B．They are the least happy among the 21 developed countries.
  C．They are the easiest to suffer childhood psychiatric disorders.
  D．Their standard of living is the lowest among the 21 developed countries.
  （3）We can conclude from the passage that

  .
  A．the British Government hasn't fully realized the problems with British students
  B．Lord Layard thinks little of the Government's lessons in manners
  C．British students are not well---behaved enough.
  D．lessons in manners have brought about positive changes in British students
  （4）Which of the following method does Lord Layard use to show learning to be happy takes practice？

  
  A．Analysis.
  B．Description.
  C．Argument.
  D．Comparison.
  （5）Frank Furedi believes that

  .
  A．happiness lessons should be taught to children
  B．happiness lessons are just a waste of time
  C．formal teaching can go side by side with happiness lessons
  D．formal teaching should not give away to happiness lessons
