• 1．Europe's Best Upcoming Food Festivals Matstreif （Oslo，Norway），July 11-12
     With a wide variety of dishes available at wallet-sparing prices，this event sees more than 200 food stalls open for business in Oslo's City Hall Square.
     Bold foodies should try "rakfisk"-rotten fish.If that sounds a bit much，there's always "svele"，a kind of pancake that originates from western Norway.
     Loch Lomond Food and Drink Festival （Loch Lomond，Scotland），August 4-6
     The 10th annual edition of this festival offers one of the best showcases for Scottish produce.On the menu are local specialties and venison （鹿肉） from the surrounding national park.
     For those who like a competitive edge with their lunch，there's even a "haggis" eating contest that pits eight hungry visitors against each other to see who can eat a pound of the local food quickest.
     Stutt garter Weindorf （Stuttgart，Germany），August 21-25
     This food festival celebrates wine on the land of beer.
     German wine is obviously underrated.Stuttgart's annual Weindorf sees 28 open air restaurants serving more than 500 wines from Baden and Wurttemberg，with reds，whites，roses and sparkling versions all available.Fresh pretzels and chocolates will also be available to help mop up the alcohol.
     Cheese 2015 （Bra，Italy），August 27-September 2
     The name is a bit of a giveaway here.This bi-annual event sees Italy's best cheese makers gather on the small town of Bra.
     It's free to visit，although plenty of euros are needed to pay for samples and try out some of the courses on offer.Whatever they are hunting for，cheese lovers will be well taken care of.They just need to make sure there''s time for post-cheese snooze before the next round of cheese tasting.

• 2．Lauren Price has come a long way from a taxi driver to an Olympic champion.She pursued her Olympic dream all the way to winning the middleweight gold medal at the Tokyo Games.
     "When I look back now，I have to pinch （掐） myself at times，because I still think it's mad that I won the Olympics，" Price told the media.
     Raised by her grandparents，she was always encouraged to play sports. "They've always backed me.If it wasn't for them，I wouldn't have achieved anything，" Price said.Her grandma used to say to her， "Reach for the moon and if you fall short，you'll land on the stars."
     She began with football.But Price was also a high standard kickboxer and was then talent-scouted by a taekwondo coach before she switched to boxing.
     "For me the big turning point was as a child being inspired by Kelly Holmes.I remember watching her on TV and I was like， "Oh My God，I want to go to the Olympics，" Price recalled. "I had that dream over the years.I just worked hard.I believe if you put the effort in，you'll get to where you want to be."
     When Price was breaking into the Welsh boxing team，funding was extremely limited.So she worked as a driver fora taxi company when she was still a teenager. "I was training Monday to Thursday and then I was taxi driving Friday and Saturday nights.I'd start work at five pm and I'd finish at four in the morning，picking up all the drunken passengers，" she remembered.That was a different kind of education. "It's quite funny now when I look back，" Price smiled.
     Ultimately，she excelled as a boxer.Price won every major gold medal going，despite the difficulties of competing against bigger opponents outside of her weight class.

• 3．In about 23 years，it may finally be time to look up.A recently discovered asteroid （小行星） has a chance of hitting the earth on Valentine's Day in 2046.It was discovered on Feb.26 at an observatory in San Pedro de Atacama，Chile.
     While the thought of an asteroid hitting the earth may sound concerning，National Aeronautics and Space Administration （NASA） says people shouldn't be worried.
     The asteroid has an estimated diameter of 160 feet，which is about the same size as an Olympic swimming pool or the width of a football field.
     "We've been tracking a new asteroid named 2023 DW that has a very small chance of impacting the earth.Often when new objects are discovered，it takes several weeks' data to reduce the uncertainties and adequately predict their orbits years into the future， "NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office （PDCO） said.
     The asteroid is ranked on the Torino Scale as level 1 threat.The scale is a tool to categorize potential earth impacts，with zero being no threat and 10 being something that can cause a global disaster.One on the Torino Scale means 2023 DW is in the normal，or green zone.
     "Current calculations show the chance of collision （碰撞） is extremely unlikely with no need for public concern，" NASA says of the green zone. "New telescopic observations will very likely lead to re-assignment to Level 0."
     Although 2023 DW doesn't pose a great risk to the earth，NASA has been continuing to work to defend our planet from any asteroid that could cause disaster.
     In September，2022，NASA crashed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft，or DART，into an asteroid to see if it could change the trajectory of the space rock.NASA later confirmed the mission was a success，and is continuing to research how effective the method is，should a massive asteroid be headed our way.
  
  （1）What does NASA's PDCO say about 2023 DW？

  
  A．It is too close to the earth.
  B．It must be destroyed in space.
  C．Its orbit is still uncertain now.
  D．Its orbit should be changed.
  （2）How is 2023 DW ranked on the Torino Scale？

  
  A．As Level zero threat.
  B．As Level ten threat.
  C．In the normal zone.
  D．In the threatening zone.
  （3）What does the underlined word "trajectory" mean in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Size.
  B．Weight.
  C．Angle.
  D．Path.
  （4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．An Asteroid Was Discovered at an Observatory in Chile
  B．An Asteroid Is Coming Our Way，Unlikely to Hit Us
  C．A Space Rock Has Just Passed the Earth
  D．A Spacecraft Has Been Crashed Recently

     When I was fifteen，I lived with my family in a small town.My father's profession was such that the whole family had to shift frequently from one place to another.My mother was a housewife and my sister was an artist.Due to my father's transfer（調(diào)動(dòng)） after every 3-4 years，my school life was terrible.I had to start a new life in new schools and make new friends.Because of this，I always felt lonely.
     One Friday afternoon，I went with my friend Rocky to his home.As soon as the door opened，a pet dog jumped on Rocky and started licking his face.I asked Rocky， "Why is your pet doing this？" Rocky replied， "My doggy loves me so much.This is the way he shows his love.Animals can't speak，but they too have feelings." His reply was so touching that it made me think about keeping a pet dog.
     After going back home，I shared the whole incident with my mother and sister and expressed my desire.My mother said， "It's up to you，but if you keep a dog，it will be entirely your responsibility to look after it. " My sister thought it wonderful to have a pet dog in the house，and she supported me.Now the real task for me was my father.We were pure vegetarians，and my father knew that animals needed non-vegetarian food for proper nutrition and growth.Therefore，my father was strictly against having a pet.
     That evening when my father came back home，I asked him for a pet dog.After listening to my request，he said a clear no.Several days later，while I was walking in a park near my house，I saw a homeless puppy who was in pain because of an injured ear.He looked weak and sad.Out of pity，I decided to take the little dog home.
