Once, while reading a magazine, Andrew 9 found that the person who sold the most cookies would win a free trip for two people around the world. She decided to give it a try. To make her dream come true, Andrew went from door to door every day after school and repeated, “Hi, I have a dream. I want a trip around the world for my mum and me by selling cookies.” Then she asked, “Would you like to buy one or two boxes of cookies?” Andrew kept asking for a whole year, whether it was raining or snowing heavily. Her hard work brought good results. She sold 42,000 boxes of cookies that year and she won the trip. Andrew is as ordinary as other people.

Now scientists may be able to explain why children love sweets so much. Professor Susan Smith from the University of Washington and her team carried out a study. They found that the children in the study who loved the sweetest drinks were the ones who were growing the fastest. In the test, the researchers gave more than 140 teenagers six drinks to taste. Each of the drinks had a different amount of sugar in it. The researchers asked the teenagers to say how much they liked the taste of the drink. Then the researchers looked at them. They found the teenagers who liked the sweeter drinks had higher levels of a certain chemical. The chemical helps them grow. Sugar may help you grow better. However, it may also cause toothache and weight problems. So don’t eat too much! 24. favourite 25. fastest 26. 140 27. each 28. taste 29. chemical 30. weight Part 1 Listening (每小题1分，共30分) I. A. 1.
