These years, we like taking our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our Chopsticks（筷子）, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see how many “liked” we can get.

A recent study shows that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. According to a research, more photos you take, the less delicious the food seems to you. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?

On the other hand, after posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control（控制）himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.

So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.

26．According to the passage, what happens a lot at the dinner table these years?

A．People talk about how to cook delicious food.

B．People take photos of delicious food and post them.

C．People chat with their friends on WeChat.

D．People take photos of the friends eating with them.

27．What does the underlined word “lifting” in Para. 1 mean?

A．putting away B．raising C．putting down D．leaving

28．What does the writer mainly want to tell us by writing this passage?

A．It’s not good to play with our mobiles at a dinner table.

B．It’s difficult to make our food delicious.

C．It’s interesting to take photos of delicious food.

D．It’s healthier to eat at home than eat out.

When I walk down the street in Beijing during the summer, I often find it quite difficult to get where I’m going. Why? Because of all the umbrellas in my way.

Before I came to China, I never saw people carrying umbrellas on sunny days. But in China, women carry umbrellas when it’s not raining. “What is the purpose (目的)?” I wanted to know. I find that there are many reasons for this. Firstly, umbrellas protect people from the sun. Many Chinese cities get hot in summer. People sometimes carry umbrellas to keep cool.

But wait a second. If umbrellas can help us keep cool, why don’t I ever see men carrying them? That brings us to the second reason—umbrellas help women’s skin stay fair (白皙的). In China, people think fair skin is more beautiful than tanned (深褐色的) skin. Cosmetics (化妆品) companies even sell special creams and powder (粉) to make skin look whiter.

Women in the US, however, like tanned skin better. They think it more beautiful there. Some people will lie outdoors in the sun for hours to get a tan. But doing this too much can be dangerous, because the sun’s light is sometimes bad for your skin.

And it shows China isn’t the only place where women carry umbrellas during the summer. Women in Greece also carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. So there you have it—umbrellas aren’t just for rainy days. But I don’t think I’m going to start carrying one anytime soon.

29．The writer of the passage may come from ________.

A．England B．China C．America D．Canada

30．In the passage the writer tells us ________ reason(s) of Chinese women using umbrellas on sunny days.

A．one B．two C．three D．tour

31．From the passage we know women in Greece would like to ________

A．have fair skin B．have brown skin

C．use special creams D．use a lot of cosmetics

32．Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Umbrellas for Rainy Days B．Stay Fair on Sunny Days

C．Women and Umbrellas D．How to Have Fair Skin
