Why do I have trouble telling foods apart when I have a cold?
Try this simple experiment：Hold your nose. Place a piece of raw carrot in your mouth and chew. Then, as you are still chewing, let go of your nose. Do you taste the difference?
The sense of taste and the sense of smell work together as you eat The taste buds (味蕾）on your tongue have 4 nerve receptors(神经感受元）in them. They can respond to only four different tastes—sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All the other hundreds of tastes come from how foods smell to you.
Foods give off invisible (无形的)fumes (烟，气）that breathe into your nasal,
passages (鼻道）. The olfactory (嗅觉的）or smelling nerves (嗅感神经) react to these fumes and you become aware of (意识到）the specific smell of these foods.
When you have a cold, however, your nasal passages are clogged (阻塞,填满）with mucus (黏液).Your sense of smell is cut off，just as it is when you hold your nose.
When you can’t smell the foods you eat, it becomes hard to tell them apart.

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and TV, telephone and so on. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has also brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution.
Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city.
The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力）of others.
Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌踏的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力地).
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams，he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察）how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your judgement is likely to be.
( )1. The best title for the passage is “_______”.
A. Judging Intelligence
B. Choosing a Book

( )3. The young man mentioned in the passage ______.
A. was stupid
B. was a good student
C. was a talented writer
D. was successful with girls
( )4. According to the passage, true knowledge of a person’s intelligence comes from _____.
A. the testimony of his teachers
B. the grades he gets in school
C. how he behaves in different situations
D. his outward appearance
( )5. The passage suggests that in judging a person’s intelligence we should _______.
A. use caution (小心）
B. be creative
C. rely on intuition (直觉）
D. give him an IQ test
（十）
Four students are discussing about which city is modern in America.
Sandy: I’d have to say probably Portland，Oregon. Maybe Miami is a contender (竞争者).
