One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, Id drunk the entire container! My mom

17、called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high.

18、, I cant eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物).

23、essimistic. D. Positive.B The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus across the country have caused public discussion about the precision (準(zhǔn)確) of the translations. Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing En

24、glish translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreign visitors to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners knowledge of Chinese cuisine (烹飪). But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu transla

25、tions have not lived up to public expectations. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dishs ingredients, the article notes. For example, one English name of a C

26、hinese dish appears as “Stir-fried mutton slices with Chinese onion or green scallion (蔥爆羊肉)”.Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, the author says it fails to describe the dishs rich cultural meaning and charm.

27、y behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only, but they cannot resist (忍住) the delicious dish. So, they jump over their temple walls to get a taste of the dish.

31、ys to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.So comes the idea

32、of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (過路費)? Why dont we use them for collecting energy?The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads

33、 work?
