The dyed bun scandal (染色馒头丑闻) deals another blow to shoppers' confidence in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on shoppers’ reactions in Shanghai.

An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3,000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia.

Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32,000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged.

Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far.”

However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment. But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack.

Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really don't know where to buy my goods from in the future.

Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “I feel like giving up supermarkets. But I really don’t know where to do my food shopping. I can't make these things myself.” said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper.

A. they still trust major supermarkets when shopping

B. they will make food by themselves

44. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Major supermarkets removed the dyed steamed buns.

B. Dyed steamed buns brought great loss to major supermarkets.

You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．

When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a ．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．

Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got married. 

They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money. 

Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband: 

“Joe, I’ve found a pupil, a general’s daughter. She is a sweet girl. I’m to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson.” 

But Joe was not glad. 

“But how about me?” he said.” Do you think I’m going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money too.” 

“Joe, you are silly,” said Delia. “You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week.” 

“Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe. 

Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired. 

“Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough. But the general is the old man! I wish you could know him, Joe.” 

And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket. 

“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria,” he said, “and he has ordered another.” 

“I’m so glad,” said Delia. “Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. We’ll have a good supper tonight.” 

Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage. 

“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said: 

“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?” 

“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?” 

“Five o’clock, I think. The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?” 

“Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her. 

“What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth.” 

She began to cry. 

“I couldn’t get any pupils,” she said, “So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasn’t giving music lessons?” 

“It’s very simple,” said Joe. “I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work.” 

“And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?” 

“Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria.” 

And then they both laughed.

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Lying to make someone feel good

B. Lying to make friends

C. Lying to hide something

D. Lying to hide bad news 

E. The reason why people lie

F. Giving a false excuse

61．________

 It seems that everybody tells lies－well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling white lies isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a friendship. Some studies suggest that the average person lie about seven times a day. Here are some ways they do it.

62．________

People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesn’t tell his parents that he’s dating a girl because he doesn’t think they will like her. Instead, he says he’s going out with the guys.

63．________

Some people lie because they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.

64．________

Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this delicious！”

65．________

Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you don’t feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything is just fine.
