It's easy to tell when most foods have gone bad: They'll let you know with a different smell or look. But what about eggs There's not much you can tell by simply looking at or smelling one. Here are a few ways to check if your eggs are still safe to eat.
You can do a float test to see if your eggs are bad. After enough time has passed, the egg will have enough air inside to make it float. Fill a bowl with water. Make sure that the bowl should be big enough to fully flood the egg. Gently place your egg inside and see if it goes down or floats. If it floats, it's old and you may want to throw it away. But the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service says an old egg may be perfectly safe to use. Break the egg into a bowl to see if it has changed smell and appearance before deciding to use or throw it. If the egg goes down and stands up, then it's not very fresh but still safe to eat. If it goes down and falls to its side, then the egg is the freshest.
You can also perform a shake test to see if your eggs are bad. Hold an egg by your ear and shake it. If you hear nothing, your egg is OK. If you hear something moving around inside, it means the egg is no longer firm but rather old and watery. However, FSIS does not allow this test for freshness. Your best bet is the float test or, even easier, breaking the egg.
You can break the eggs to see if they have gone bad. A fresh egg should have a bright yellow or orange yolk that is more rounded than flat. If the colour of the yolk or white has changed, the egg is no good. If your eggs look good but smell bad, do not eat them.

A. B. C. D.
2. If an egg is firm, it is usually ______.
A. old B. watery C. smelly D. fresh
3. The easiest way of testing whether eggs have gone bad is to ______.

4. What would the text talk about next
A. What if we eat bad eggs.
B. Where to buy fresh eggs.
C. How to cook meals with eggs.
D. Why we need to eat an egg every day.

Benjamin sat on the porch(门廊) of the old family house, thinking about his father. After Ethan passed away, Benjamin was the only person in the house. They once lived happily together in the house. But one night, Ethan and Benjamin had a fight. Benjamin walked out of the room angrily. He said no more to his father that night. For days, neither man talked to the other when they came back from work, and they did not even eat together any more. Days became months, and the heavy silence between the two men continued. They still lived under the same roof(屋檐), but they did not talk, or even look at each other.
Eight more years passed, still they had nothing to say to each other. Ethan was getting very old. One night, Benjamin looked at his father for the first time in weeks. Father looked tired and lonely in his armchair. He said to himself, “We are together, even though we do not talk. I am lucky to have someone here with me. Without Father, this could be a cold and lonely house. Thanks for being here with me.” Another winter came, Father lying sick in bed. Benjamin drove him to the hospital. After waiting in the hall for hours, Benjamin went in and saw the old man asleep.
“He might die soon,” said the doctor. “You should talk to him now. It will be your last chance.”
Suddenly the old man opened his eyes and looked at his son. He smiled weakly at Benjamin, and Benjamin smiled back. Then Ethan opened his mouth, trying to talk. Benjamin quickly put his hand over his father's mouth. The old man did not try to talk anymore. His eyes closed again and passed away in peace.
The doctor said, “He wanted to say something before he died. Why did you stop him ” Benjamin answered, “It was my father who first made the decision that we should not talk. I did not want to hear him say he was sorry. I did not want him to ever think he was wrong.”
When he entered the old quiet house that night, everything seemed strange. He said to himself, “This will be a lonely house now.”

三、阅读表达
China is quickly becoming the fashion capital. Thanks to social media and young customers, China prefers to develop its own style, Chinese style. And there have been some achievements for the past few years. There is even a name for it: China-Chic.
Maybe you have heard of it by chance. China-Chic is the result of young people's interests in Chinese culture and things. It's reported that 68 percent of young Chinese, especially those between the ages of 20-25, say they prefer products made in China to those made abroad. They are now prouder of “Chinese style”.
A 25-year-old vlogger(视频博主) named Cai Qian spent 15 days making a golden mask, which is really similar to the ancient mask found at Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan. His video has drawn over 11 million viewers. And later, he recreated another thing from the same 3,000-year-old site. This made him get over 7 million viewers again.
One of the reasons why this is happening is the development of e-commerce(电子商务) and social media, which gives sellers a direct chance to communicate with their customers. Now people can learn about the Chinese styles and buy something which they are interested in easily.
So, what is China-Chic, really Well, it's bright and colourful. We will see more red and gold in China than in the fashion capitals of London, Paris and New York. And of course, there is the love of beauty which is deeply included in Chinese culture. I think China-Chic will become more and more popular around the world.
What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to
__________________________________________________________________________
2. Which group plays an important role in the development of China-Chic
__________________________________________________________________________
3. How many viewers have Cai Qian's two videos got in total

4. Why has the 25-year-old vlogger drawn so many viewers
