There are many online food shopping sites（網址）. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, MP3, magazines and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. People like to choose their food by its color. They also want to feel and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there are very good. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable（舒適的） buying it online.

Boxes of fruit and vegetables have been delivered（運送） to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned（罐裝的） foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren’t bruised（碰傷）or the ones that look nice. Buy dried and canned food online is easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.

Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world, such as Asia and Africa. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell foods, such as cakes and candies.

The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being sent from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration（冷藏）when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling a long way in summer to deliver the goods（貨物）, this is important.

2．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

    B．It introduces several types of food websites to us.

    C．It tells us how to keep food from the websites cold.

    D．It teaches us what to do after we get food online.

In American schools there is something called the Home-coming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a home-coming game. This can be the most important event（事件）of the year. Students plan the Home-coming Day for many weeks.

A few days before Home-coming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Home-coming twenty or thirty years after their graduation(畢業(yè)).

The members of school clubs build booths（攤位）and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.

During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band（樂隊）comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is the moment when the Home-coming Queen or King appears. All the students choose a most popular student the Home-coming Queen or King. It is a great honour（榮幸）to be chosen.
