21、Why Do Movie Theaters Serve Popcorn?

The savory smell. The crunchy bite. The buttery finish. Americans will recognize the smell and flavor of their favorite moviegoing snack anywhere. Why is it that we feast our taste buds on these crisp kernels while our eyes focus on the big screen?

【1】The main reason is the snack’s price, convenience, and timing. Popcorn was cheap for sellers and for customers, and making it didn’t require special equipment.

【2】That is how popcorn got introduced to the silver screen.

Popcorn does not refer to the popped kernel alone. 【3】It was originally grown in Central America and became popular in the U.S. in the mid-1800s. Compared with other snacks at the time, it was super easy to make, and it got easier in 1885 when the mobile steam-powered popcorn maker was invented. In the late 19th century a large number of independent popcorn suppliers became widely available. 【4】

Since popcorn was cheap to make, it was also cheap to buy, which increased the popularity of this treat during the Great Depression. The Depression increased consumer spending on cheaper luxury items such as popcorn and movies, and the two industries teamed up. 【5】By the mid-1940s, however, movie theaters began to have their own concession stands in the lobby. The introduction of the popcorn-driven concession stand to movie theaters kept the movie theater industry running smoothly, and popcorn has been a basic movie-watching food ever since.

A．A few aspects made popcorn the typical movie snack.

B．They were like the great-great-grandfathers of food trucks.

C．Therefore, movie theaters attracted more and more customers.

D．The secret of popcorn’s pleasant taste lies in the special material.

E．It’s also the name for the specific type of corn that is used to make the snack.

F．Theaters would allow a popcorn salesman to sell right outside for a daily fee.

G．Popcorn also got popular at a time when theaters badly needed an economic increase.

22、   Pastime is a bi-monthly magazine for curious young minds. Many of the topics we write about won’t be covered in the classroom. All the articles are written in a lively style, and each one is paired with drawings by some of the country’s most talented artists.

◆ History focuses on archaeological (考古的) sites around the world where archaeologists work to unearth important finds.

◆ World includes stories about daily life, folk tales, history and traditions of the people and places.

◆ Sport includes nutrition tips, information about up-and-coming young athletes, and sports events.

◆ Art stimulates a child’s cultural life, from film to theatre through to writing and music.

On top of all that, Pastime is packed with items to stimulate a youngster’s imagination, including pages of puzzles and a step-by-step guide to creating their own impressive-looking drawings.

In every issue, we review the latest books top authors write for youngsters. There are also short works of fiction written especially for Pastime by some of our best writers.

We know that children at this age are dealing with many emotions and sometimes difficult feelings, so we have a personal advice page to reply to questions dealing with personal and moral problems.

Unlike many of today’s throwaway comics, Pastime is written and designed to be kept and treasured. We know children love going online—but we also know how much they enjoy holding a printed magazine in their hands and the excitement they get when each new issue drops through the letterbox personally addressed to them.

23、   Barry Farmer didn't have the easiest childhood, but it was an experience that made him who he is today—a foster father（养父）.

“When I was very little, I was going from home to home, living with friends of my parents. ” Farmer said. He then lived with his aunt, followed by a foster home.

When Farmer was four years old, something happened that would change his life forever： He moved in with his grandmother. At his grandmother's house, he had neighborhood friends, a good school and a sense of community. That stability was beneficial to Farmer,

“I lost my parents but I gained a whole village of support. That inspired me to become a foster parent, too," Farmer said.

When he was just 20 years old, he saw an advertisement about how to become a foster parent, "A year after getting licensed, I got my first case," he said. Farmer said social workers were not willing to assign（分配）him cases since he was not old enough, but he finally got his first child.

About a month after that child moved out, Farmer received another case. Farmer decided to take in 8-year-old Jaxon, “He was supposed to be with me temporarily," Farmer said. However, when Jaxon moved out, he was placed with a family who was supposed to adopt him but he didn't like it, "He missed me and I missed him because I wasn't really prepared for him to go,” Farmer said, "That's when I made a decision to keep him. ”

Foster care itself is so unpredictable. You don't know what to expect once you sign up," Farmer said, “There's no easy way to foster. It's an emotional（情感上的）journey. And you have to put your own personal feelings aside to make sure you're doing what's best for the children. But at last, both you and your foster children can benefit a lot. ”

【1】Why did Barry Farmer want to be a foster father at first?

C.He loved this kind of life as a foster father.

D.He was inspired by his childhood experience.

【2】What made social workers unwilling to offer Barry Farmer foster cases?

A.His bad behavior. B.His young age.

C.His lack of licenses. D.His poor living condition,

【3】What can we learn about Barry Farmer and Jaxon when they lived together temporarily?

A.They got on badly with each other. B.They missed their own families a lot.

C.They possibly built a close connection. D.They got well prepared for departure.

【4】What does Barry Farmer think of foster care?

A.It is hard but rewarding. B.It is harmful to children.

C.It is an emotionless journey, D.It is easy and predictable.

24、A four-year-old boy discovers that compassion (同情) for the 1ess fortunate can produce amazing results. Our hero’ s origin story started this past February. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, went to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter that provides housing, food, and other services for homeless men. As they drove by the redbrick building, they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?”

That day, Austin used his allowance to buy each man a Burger King sandwich and handed the food out himself. Seeing what their presence meant to the men at the ministry, Austin and TJ returned the next week. Austin again dipped into his piggy bank to buy sandwiches, which he banded out along with his new catchphrase, “Don’t forget to show love?”

After he returned every week for five weeks, word of Austin’s acts of kindness spread through social media and national news outlets. Burger King jumped aboard, agreeing to donate $1,000 a month for an entire year toward the cause. Soon, churches and shelters across the country began inviting Austin to come distribute food in other poverty-prone areas. Whereas before Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time, now, thanks to corporate and community support, they can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.

Austin’s passion has now become his family’s calling. His mother Audrey established the Show Love Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president, and TJ left his job to oversee public relations for the foundation full time. He’s in talks with the city of Birmingham to secure the redbrick building where it all started—Firehouse Ministries is moving- -as the site of their own shelter, which will offer medical and mental care as preventive steps against homelessness.

As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day.”
