Here are four top choices for the community to have a try. Hilltop Pub&Grill Hilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “high-quality North Atlantic fish, with a light beer batter (面糊)” . The Final Score Bar&Grill The Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter choices set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available. Point After Pub&Grill Point After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,” explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark. Two Harps Pub This Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it. It really made sense to open up an Irish bar.” The growing pub advises guests to try a cold beer with their Friday fried fish. 1 ．What makes Hilltop Pub&Grill popular with customers?

Every time there was a drill, we could pack a few bags and drive to Houston, where we had relatives, and staved for a few days before returning home. But when Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans, things no longer operated like a fire drill. The schools were closed. My family set out to find me a new school. We were fortunate to find a top school in Houston that generously offered me scholarships to complete the year. It was a private international school, with students from over seventy countries and a dozen languages being spoken as you walked through the hallway. It was a place with a totally different cultural atmosphere. I was uncertain about the transition before entering the new school. I was granted the good future, however, to enter this new school environment at the beginning of the school team's soccer season. And at an international school, the soccer team was the most important team around. The day I stepped into my new school, soccer gave me a team. I did not need to speak the same language as my teammates to pass them the ball. I did not need to share the same nationality as my teammates in order to celebrate a goal with them. I made some of my closest friends on that team. I loved soccer and had dreams of becoming a professional, making a living from playing in one of the top leagues in Europe. I often dreamed of the places this game would take me, but I could have never expected that it would serve as the cornerstone of the bridge between different languages and cultures in the new school. 4 ．What do we know from the first paragraph？ A ．School fires often happened in New Orleans.

Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory garbage-sorting in new efforts to better protect the environment. Under the new regulation, residents are required to classify household waste into four categories: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua. Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced rewards to encourage residents to sort their garbage. According to Xinhua, residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the points they accumulate for daily necessities such as soap. Garbage sorting practices have reached over 70 percent of housing estates in 18 cities, including Shanghai, Xiamen and Hangzhou, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Shanghai first enacted a mandatory garbage-sorting regulation in July 2019 and has had a 90 percent compliance (服从) rate among its housing estates. According to a report by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage-sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage-sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the report noted. According to Xinhua, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. Also, some previous garbage regulations didn’t include fines for people who failed to obey them. “It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily, “Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and littering. ” 8 ．What can we learn about the new regulation in Beijing? A ．It hasn’t been put into use yet. B ．Residents can sort the garbage as they like. C ．People can get money if they classify their domestic waste correctly. D ．Those who can’t sort the garbage as the new rule requires shall be fined. 9 ．What’s the problem in garbage sorting in China? A ．Most people are unaware of its importance in protecting environment. B ．Some people don’t want to take the trouble to sort the garbage. C ．Only residents in big cities can sort the trash correctly. D ．The government doesn’t have enough money to support garbage sorting. 10 ．What can we infer from Liu Jianguo’s words? A ．It’s difficult to carry out garbage sorting in China. B ．Some laws in garbage-sorting are needed. C ．People in developed countries can better sort the garbage. D ．We should learn from Japan. 11 ．What’s the best title of the passage? A ．Garbage sorting, a new start in China C ．Argument on garbage sorting B．New regulations in Beijing D ．How to sort domestic garbage D According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake.
