　　Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

　　And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure. The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.

　　As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew. Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

　　Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

　　Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around it didn't look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn't offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank

　　up every last drop of soup !

　　38．What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

　　A．It is popular among the neighbors.

　　B．It contains honey and vegetables.

　　C．It looks very wonderful.

　　D．It tastes quite delicious.

　?。甒hat does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．To attract.

　　B．To upset.

　　C．To air.

　　D．To shut.

　?。甒hat can we learn about Dad from the text?

　　A． He is an experienced cook.

　　B．He is a troublesome father.

　　C．He has a positive attitude to life.

　　D．He suffers a lot from his disability.

　　Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around the world. ? Experts claim that there are more flavors of coffee than there are of wine. Coffee contains caffeine, an element (成分) that raises our awareness, keeps us from falling asleep or simply gives us a kick in the morning or after lunch.

　　? ?For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee, because it may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure, insomnia (失眠) and headaches.

　　Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is brewed (沖泡) that holds the key to our health. ?43 Among other things, this is linked to the consumption of a strong brew of coffee. Experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health.

　　A new study by a Harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems. ?44 Doctors, however, warn against drinking too much coffee, as it can lead to stomach problems.

　　Coffee has many advantages, as the new study suggests. While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow-moving, coffee gives them energy. ?45 ?

　　Although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee, it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes. Reports show that people who drink coffee may develop Parkinson’s disease later in life, or maybe not at all.

　　A. There are many different types of coffee.

　　B. Scientists ask people not to drink coffee at night.

　　C. Elderly people in Greece live longer than normal.

　　D. But experts are still undecided on how healthy coffee is.

　　E. Sugar can change the different levels of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
