Who is Ronald McDonald? The question might be hard for some grown-ups to answer, but not hard for American school children. Even many children in other countries know the name. in the USA, almost 96 percent of children could identify Ronald McDonald —— only Santa Claus has a higher rating.McDonald’s is a most successful American corporation today. And we owe it all to Ray A. Kroc. In the 1940s Kroc became the exclusive salesman for a new invention, a milkshake (奶昔) machine. Once a small hamburger restaurant owned by two brothers named McDonald attracted his attention. They bought eight of his machines. Kroc thought that a chain of similar restaurants would use many such machines, so he began his hamburger restaurants under a royalty (特许权) arrangement with the two brothers. As McDonald’s restaurants began appearing across the country, Kroc soon realized that his future would be in the restaurant and not the machine business. He bought out the McDonald brothers at last. “I needed the McDonald name…” he said, “What are you going to do with a name like Kroc?”Since then McDonald’s has established outlets all over the world, from New York to Paris to Tokyo. Operating under a strict set of rules the units provide high-quality service and good food for the whole family. By connecting his operations to consumer needs and, at the same time, making McDonald’s a household word, Ray A. Kroc succeeded as a businessman. Millions who left his units would say, “Nobody can do it like McDonald’s can.”

When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question, “Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators (电梯), and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.
The Vienna survey may help to explain .
A、the complaints of people in apartment houses
B、the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s death
C、the longevity of people like Mrs.Groeger
D、the image of cities in general
2、The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some .
A、benefits of walking
B、problems of city living
C、comments made by city people
D、occasions for walking in city life
3、To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful .
A、to walk up the stairs
B、to take the elevator
C、to ride in a car
D、to find an alternative to walking
4、People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because .
A、they don’t live near business
B、they don’t need the exercise
C、they never have parking problems
D、they can’t afford to take the bus
5、A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that .
A、air pollution is not serious
B、walking is a healthful exercise
C、country people should move to the city
D、anyone can live to be 107

There are many reasons for the tidal action which is a very complicated phenomenon involving many factors all of which must be considered to predict tide in any one place at any one time. The alternate rise and fall of the surface of the seas and the ocean is mainly caused by the attractive force of the moon alone. When the attractions are great, the tide is high, and conversely when the attraction is minimal, the tide is low. Between the high tide and the low tide is a period of a little over six hours, being called during its rise a flood tide, and during its fall an ebb tide. The sun also exerts its effect on the tide, being a little less than half as much as the moon, although its mass is so much greater. When the moon and the sun are horizontal, the highest high tide occurs and when they are vertical the lowest low tide takes place. The wind also plays an important part in the modification of the normal rise and fall of the tide. Thus these factors affect each other either detracting or adding to the attraction forces to add or subtract from the height of the tide. But the tides still move inexorable (坚决不变) on, rising twice a day, getting a little later each day and posing a problem of correctly predicting their heights and lows.
According to this article, it is clear that the force of the moon .
A、is not as important as that of the wind
B、causes the alternate rise and fall of the surface
C、is less than half as much as the sun
D、does not influence the rise and fall of the surface
2、It can be concluded from this article that the sun’s effect on the tide is .
A、half that of the moon
B、more than that of the moon
C、more than twice that of the moon
D、more than half that of the moon
3、Which of the following factors will not affect the time of the tide?
A、The position of the sun and the moon.
B、The mass of the moon.
C、The wind.
D、All of the above mentioned
4、If the first high tide takes place at 1:00 a.m., the next high tide will probably take place at .
A、7:20a.m.
B、8:00a.m.
C、1:45 p.m.
D、high noon
5、The principal idea of this article is .
A、The attraction of the sum and the moon
B、The sum, the moon and the wind
C、The changing tide
D、The factors affecting the tide

Dr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron lizard (蜥蜴) in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw.After he had recovered from his injury, he caught a squirrel and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creatures from the woods near his school. In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology. By 1966 he had received his Bachelor (学士) of Science degree and two years later at Drysdale University he received his Doctor of Science degree. It was while he was doing field research for his doctoral studies in South America in 1967 that he discovered and named the Kamron lizard. This animal was different from others of its kind in that it had only four toes on its front feet. In other respects, it was similar to others of the same family. It could change its color and go for long periods without food.
Of the four statements, which one best indicates the author’s idea?
A、Dr. Gates is a scientist who can always attract the public attention to his research.
B、Dr. Gates is a very famous scientist, though he wanted to be a sportsman at first.
C、Dr. Gates is a scientist who always carries a notebook with him wherever he goes.
2、In the first paragraph of the passage, the phrase “in practice” means “________”.
A、while playing baseball
B、while studying animals
C、while making up his mind
D、while doing some practical work
3、In the second paragraph, the word “creatures” can best be replaced by “ _________”.
A、people
B、things
C、animals
D、living things
4、It was ________ that Dr. Gates discovered the Kamron lizard.
A、after he had graduated from Drysdale University
B、during the time when he was studying for the doctor’s degree
C、after he had received his highest degree

Halloween is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.” More recently, this practice has even developed into a significant international activity. Instead of or along with candies, children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”. Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul – why didn’t I realize that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends – or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But a “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
