Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6X their normal price。 This is after the country‘s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage。 Storms and floods and its main potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3 decades。 Local media reports suggest Calbee and its main rival Koike-ya are halting almost 50 products。
“We don‘t know when we’ll be able to restart”， a company spokesman said。 Snack lovers are panic buying and many supermarket shelves are bare。 Japanese laws limit the amount of imported potatoes that can be used in Japanese made products。 youdaokaoshen Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports。 It still only allows potatoes from selected US states。 This is only at certain times and on condition that they are processed at factories based near Japanese ports。

Question 5：What problem is Japan facing?
Question 6：Why does Japan limit the import of potatoes?

Conversation 1
M： Mr.Brown‘s lectures are so boring.
W： Yes， he is not a very exciting speaker.But the subject is interesting.
M： During every one of his lectures， I try to listen I really try.But after about 10 minutes my mind begins to wander and I lose concentration.But I see that you seem to be OK.How do you stay focused through the entire hour?

M： Do you review your notes afterwards then?

M： You draw in class and that helps me pay attention?
W： Yes， honestly it works for me.I just draw little lines and nonsense really.It was also in that article I read.It can keep the mind active， prevent getting bored and help to concentrate.Again the point is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving.If I‘m at home and I need to study what I do is read out loud.It has a similar effect to writing by hand.It helps memorize information in a physical way.

M: Ann, where is this?
W: These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. We went there about ten years ago for our honeymoon.
M: Was it romantic?

W: Yes, it's a very famous tourist destination so there are thousands of visitors every day.

W: Yes, very crowded in many cities. It was sometimes so crowded that it was difficult to walk along the streets, especially through busy markets. And there are so many cars. Traffic was terrible, but the people are friendly, the culture is amazing and we had a great time.
M: What about the food?
W: Indian food is great. There are lots of different dishes to try and every region has its own special food.

Passage 2
A Savannah cat is a crossbreed between a domestic cat and a medium-sized wild African cat called the Serval。 The unusual cross became popular among breeders at the end of the 1990s。 And in 2001， the International Cat Association accepted it as a new registered breed。 The savannahs are tall and slim and can weigh up to nine point one kilograms， making them one of the largest breeds of cats that people can own。 They have a spotted code similar to that of many types of wild cats and their ears are very large。 They are also commonly compared to dogs in their loyalty and can be trained to walk on a lead and to fetch， and often noted characteristic of the Savannah is its jumping ability。 They are known to jump on top of doors and high cabinets。 Some can leap about2.5 metres high from a standing position。 youdaokaoshen Cats are typically known for being very inquisitive and so are the Savannahs。 They often learn how to open doors and cupboards。 Many Savannah cats do not fear water and will play with or even dive into water。 Some owners even shower with their Savannah Cats， presenting a water bowl to Savannah may also prove a challenge， as some will promptly begin to bat all the water out of the bowl until it is empty using their front paws。

Question 20。 What is characteristic of Savannah cats?
Question 21 What do some people do with their Savannah cats?
Passage 3
When children start school for the very 1st time parents often feel a sense of excitement coupled with a touch of sadness at the end of an era。 This is the start of a new adventure for children playing and interacting with new friends sharing， taking turns and settling into a new routine。
But of course， this is not the start of your child‘s education which in fact began at birth。 Back then， u would have been your child’s most influential teachers。 During this time at home， ur child would have learnt more than at any other period in their life。 During your child‘s first year in school much time will be spent in learning to read and they need to know that this is fun and worthwhile。 youdaokaoshen Ur child will naturally copy u so it is important that u are seen reading and enjoying books newspapers and magazines rather than just absorbed in screens。 Ultimately an excellent education should be a close partnership between parents and teachers。 A child’s year splits fairly neatly into thirds： a 3rd at school， a 3rd asleep and a third awake at home or on holiday。
Irrespective of the quality of a school a child‘s home life is of key importance。 It is the determining factor of their academic success。 Ur child may have started on a new journey but ur work is far from finished。
Question 22 How do parents feel when their children start going to school?
Question 23 What does the passage say about children‘s education?
Question 24 What should parents do for the success of their children‘s education?
Question 25。 What does the passage say is the key factor of loinbo’s academic success?
