Most nations have at least one type of food that people from other countries think is unusual or unethical（不道德的）to eat. In France, people eat horse meat and frog legs. In South Korea and parts of China, restaurants serve dog meat. And in Australia, it’s common to cook kangaroo meat on the barbecue and use emu（鸸鹋）eggs to make pancakes.

The kangaroo and emu are native to Australia. Both animals are important to the national image of Australia and appear on the Australian coat of arms. They’re also central figures in the history of the indigenous（土生土长的）Australian Aboriginals（土著人）. However, Aboriginal tribes still hunt these animals for their meat, fur and fat.

Today, Australian people continue to eat these animals. One of the reasons people eat kangaroo meat is that it’s high in protein and low in fat, so eating kangaroo is a good option for anyone on a diet. It’s also cheaper to eat kangaroo meat than other red meats. Because of this, a lot of university students choose to buy kangaroo meat. BBC News also reported that Australian scientists believe that eating kangaroo meat is good for the environment--kangaroos have different digestive systems than cows and sheep, meaning they produce less methane（甲烷），the second biggest contributor to global warming.

While emu meat is high in iron and vitamin C, most people don’t think it tastes good. For this reason, they prefer emu eggs. One egg is large enough to make seven omelettes（煎蛋）. And while it’s illegal to collect emu eggs from the wild, they can be bought from emu farms. Rather than cracking the beautiful dark shell, it’s better to drain it by putting a small hole at each end and blowing. Afterwards, you can even carve a design into the eggshell.

13. The author mentioned the meat-eating customs of different countries at the beginning of the article to __________.

A. present different cultures’ meat-eating preferences

B. introduce the consumption of kangaroo meat and emu eggs in Australia C. suggest that people try to understand other countries’ diets D. compare different eating habits among different countries 14. According to the article, the kangaroo __________.

A. is not considered precious in Australia

B. contains large amounts of iron and vitamins in its meat C. faces extinction due to hunting by Aboriginal tribes D. is considered healthy and environmentally friendly to eat 15. Which of the following statements is TRUE about emu eggs?

A. Emu eggs taste terrible but are nutritious. B. The shells of emu eggs are not difficult to break. C. Emu egg shells can be used to create art.

D. It’s common for Australians to collect emu eggs from the wild.

Cold blesses us all

It's November, the time of year when people often get blessed more. This is not because God likes cold weather, nor because others are feeling generous with Thanksgiving just around the corner. 16

Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses people get in autumn and winter as the weather gets colder. They are all caused by viruses, but colds are generally milder—you'll feel annoyed but not as if you want to die.

Teenagers catch average six to ten colds a year, according to statistics from the Ministry of Health, while adults average two to four. More than 200 viruses cause cold symptoms. 17 You can be contagious（传染的）one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming

sick.

The signature symptom of a cold is a runny nose. The flu will make you burn with fever, ache all over, feel extremely tired and cough intensely. The flu can sometimes lead to more serious diseases, such as pneumonia.

18 A doctor can test you to see whether you have the flu in the first few days of the illness. But some treatments for both are pretty much the same:

● 19 Many doctors consider water a weapon against the common cold. It helps your blood drive off viruses and flood them out.

● Keep warm. You might be cold one minute and hot the next, and wearing several layers is very important.

● Wash your hands frequently. You don't want to make it worse by spreading the flu to everyone else. Also, avoid sharing cups and eating utensils(餐具) with other people.

20 But if your flu symptoms get worse, go to a hospital or clinic right away. A. Most people who catch the flu get better without having to see their doctor. B. Sometimes, it's hard to tell a cold from the flu based on symptoms alone. C. Drink lots of water.

D. Taking medicine on time is a good way to prevent the illness.

E. \F. Get lots of sleep and take it easy.

G. You can pass on the flu before you even know you have it.
