"I miss you.Let's meet up soon?" These are the words which appear in my inbox and outbox almost every week.I miss my friends.and they miss me.But many of them are dotted(散布于)around the country.I can't see them as much as I'd like.
   I have friends living in Telford,Wolverhampton and Birmingham.Some friends have moved abroad.I've also got some wonderful pals in London,where I live now.
   But,unlike many of my peers.I don't have one big group I can meet in one place at a time.It means a large part of my life is spent visiting my friends separately.And if I don't do it right,it can be bloody exhausting.
   Don't get me wrong.I will always make time for these visits and I never regret them.They are my friends and worth every penny and effort.But life is busy- you have friends,family,a job,a partner,and pets.Each requires their own time slots(時(shí)間檔)and individual levels of attention.So I'd be a big liar if I didn't admit I've striven to get the balance right over the years.To avoid what I call "long-distance friendship burnout",I try to arrange one weekend a month to meet a friend.When it comes to playing guest or host,it's nice to take turns.
   I've had weekends in the past where I've tried to arrange many friend visits in one trip.But that's exhausting.And I didn't feel present enough for my friends as I was thinking about what time I had to leave to see the next person,so now it's all about one friend at a time.
   Obviously it means seeing them less often,but at the same time I get to spend more time with them when I do.
   Long-distance friendships can be tough.But they are also beautiful and 100% worth all the trouble.

       I am Pablo.I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver,so I talk with people all day.They understand me,but I know I make a lot of mistakes.No one corrects me.My vocabulary is strong.Grammar is my problem.I'm trying to change little by little.For example,I don't use the past tense (時(shí)態(tài)).I always say,"I drive him to the office this morning" instead of "I drove him to the office this morning".
       My name is Maria Luisa.I'm teaching myself English,and I'm good at grammar.However,it's really difficult to find ways to practice English.I live in an area where everyone speaks my language.My neighbours and friends speak Spanish.I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the post office.

  • 2.Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world.Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish?But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West,and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East - the ancient custom of tonic food.
       Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness.For instance,it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth.It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles,reduce pain,improve circulation,stimulate sweating,and warm the body.Some foods,such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜),are seen as "hot",while others,such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小蘿卜),are seen as "cold".One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot" or "cold" food.However,how much "hot" or "cold" food one should eat depends on the time of the year,how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with,and the individual's health.
       The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry.Chinese herbal medicines,such as the wolfberry (枸杞子),can be found on many a restaurant menu,either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish.These herbs attract customers,such as overworked office staff,in need of a modest pick-me-up.
       So,whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup,or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup,you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.

    (1)What is the present situation of tonic food?

    A.It is catching less attention.
    B.It is enjoyed by many young people.
    C.It is well known worldwide.
    D.It is becoming increasingly popular.
    (2)What is believed to benefit new mothers?

    A.Chinese cabbage.
    B.Fruit tea.
    C.Sesame oil hotpot.
    D.Pig brain soup.
    (3)Which of the following best explains "catering" underlined in Paragraph 3?

    A.Medicine.
    B.Restaurant.
    C.Education.
    D.Fashion.
    (4)What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A.The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
    B.The Popularity of Tonic Food
    C.An Introduction to Chinese Tonic Food
    D.Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
