Instagram is containing so many photos of food—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. 'The Picture House' is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's 'Food for Life' campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.
4. Instagram probably is ____.
A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of "Food for Life"
C. a new marketing project D. a program used to share photos
5. What's the author's attitude to this new trend?
A. Opposed. B. Interested. C. Confused. D. Unconcerned.
6. The Picture House' encourages sharing photos of its food to ____.
A. attract more customers B. raise the price of frozen food
C. create a new social media trend D. reward the regular customers
7. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. No Need to Pay. B. The Pop-up Diner.
C. Pay by Picture. D. Food for Life.

C
  Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage（村舍） in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it；many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked（渗漏）, making the whole house terrible.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not stand missing any of my uncle's exciting stories.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
"It sounds as if the roof has fallen in！"cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right onto the pillow（枕头）on my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either！
8. Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage？
A. Because the roof of the cottage had fallen.
B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.
C. Because he was used to living abroad.
D. Because the rooms were too small to live in.
9. When the author and his brother opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because___________.
A.it was completely dark inside
B. there was too much dust in the air
C. something strange stopped them
D. it was a mess inside
10. The author felt glad that he had stayed up late because ___________.
A. he did not miss the exciting stories
B. he spent more time with his uncle
C. he had a lucky escape
D. he saw a strange sight
11. Which of the following can best describe the writer's uncle？
A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.
B. Humorous and good at making jokes.
C. Dependable and generous with money.
D. Thoughtful and sensitive to danger.

D
Just like humans, birds too rely on sound to communicate. However, they do not have a "language" in the true sense of the word and instead produce a variety of sounds to convey different emotions.
     Often, birds recognize their mates (or young) by sound rather than sight. Hungry young birds use begging calls to let their mothers know it is feeding time. Alarm calls, flight calls and warning calls are other sounds made frequently by adults.
    A new study shows that songbirds rehearse (排演) their songs even in their sleep. The activity in the brain of the birds when asleep is similar to the brain activity when the birds were awake and singing. The team used tiny recording devices to measure the activity of individual brain cells in four songbirds both when they were singing and when they were asleep.
     Apparently the bird stores a song after hearing it, and then rehearses it later in its sleep. Scientists now believe the birds "dream of songs and tunes" to help them master the fine art of singing and that sleep plays a key role in the learning process!
     Many songbirds learn to sing listening to adult birds of the same species. However, if separated from the adults, the young birds develop sounds which are hard to understand instead of normal song patterns. Researchers carried out an experiment in which a male bullfinch (灰雀) was raised by a female canary(金丝雀). The bullfinch soon learned the canary's song and when it was later mated to a female bullfinch, Mr.Bullfinch taught his children the canary's songs.
     Last year, a British survey of London's songbirds showed that the city's birds are losing their tunes. Birds could hardly hear one another, over the traffic noise；as a result, instead of copying the sweet notes of the adults, young birds were copying the sounds they heard most often, namely car horns and beeping cellphones!
12. According to the passage, birds recognize their mates by ________.
A. using their own words B. listening to their sounds
C. looking at their appearances D. singing the same songs
13. What kind of calls might a young bird make most often according to the passage?
A. Flight calls.   B. Alarm calls.
C. Begging calls.  D. Warning calls.
14. The story of Mr.Bullfinch suggests that ________.
A. young birds learn to sing from whom they live together with
B. birds only learn how to sing from the same adult species
C. it's not easy for adult birds to teach young birds songs
D. a canary's song is more beautiful than a bullfinch's
15. From the last paragraph we know that ________.
A. traffic noise makes young birds become deaf
B. birds in the city can sing as sweetly as those in the wild
C. birds in the city recognize their mates mainly by sight
D. noise pollution causes much trouble for birds in the city

If you feel depressed, it’s best to do something about it—depression doesn’t just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counselor, here are four things you can do to feel better.
Exercise. Take a 15-to-30-minute walk every day — or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active.   _ 16 __. Once you get in the exercise habit, it won’t take long to notice a difference in your mood.

If depression has affected your eating, you’ll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food.   _17 __ So eat plenty of fruits arid vegetables and get regular meals （even if you don’t feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going）.
Identify troubles. Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression. When you know what’s got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend.  ___18___. If there’s no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.
  19  _. Depression affects a person’s thoughts, making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths, gifts, or blessings. Most of all, don’t forget to be patient with yourself. _  20 __
