General speaking, American food is rather bland（清淡的） and spiced. Salads are much liked and are served all the year round. Many American people are trying to keep down their weight and so they are “calorie（卡）” or “ weight watchers” meals. In markets one can find “ No Cal” drinks (means without calories) such as ginger ale（麦酒） or cola. “Diet（饮食）” foods without sugar or salt are also at hand in food stores.
Waiters in American restaurants tend to believe that everyone drinks coffee. If a waiter suddenly asks “Now or later?” What he means is “ Do you want coffee with your meal or later?” Many Americans drink coffee or tea with their meals. When dining out in the US, we can ask for tea, milk, coke, beer and so on, if we prefer these to coffee. American restaurants cannot serve beer, wine, or liquor（酒类） unless they are licensed to do so.
The main course in American meals is usually meat, chicken, or fish, but seldom is more than one of these served at the same meal ( except that seafood can be used as an appetizer(开胃菜) ). Most Americans eat quickly during the day—that is, breakfast and lunch—unless it is social,
business, or family occasion（场合）. The evening meal, however, is usually leisurely(悠闲的) and a family time.
Racing through daytime meals is a part of the “American pace” of life, for working time is considered precious(宝贵的). There is also another reason, that others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so they can be served and get back to work within the allotted time. Each one hurries to make room for the next person.
28．According to the passage, American restaurants___________.
A. can’t sell alcoholic（酒精的） drink
B. can serve diet foods C. usually offer spiced（调料） foods
D. usually refused to serve other drinks except coffee
29. The underlined word “allotted” probably means_______.
A. asking B. allowed C. given D. working
30. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A. Americans usually eat very fast because they consider time to be precious.
B. Americans eat fast in restaurants partly because they have to give room for others.
C. Lunchtime for many Americans is rather short.
D. Americans can enjoy free coffee but not drinks.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. American food is popular. B. American food tradition.
C. Americans’ way of eating. D. Americans’ life.

We don’t have rush hours any more,” said Charles M. Mclean, who run the nation’s busiest road. “We have rush periods, and they keep getting longer and longer.”
Mclean was describing Chicago’s 235 miles of expressway(高速公路), but the same might be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of the American city life—and about the heavy traffic that often blocks them. In Chicago ,a computerized system(系统) that controls(控制) traffic on the city’s seven expressways has been developed. Now one man a —controller—can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights.
The system uses electronic sensors( 传感器)that are built into each expressway, half a mile apart. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room.
A green light means traffic is moving 45 miles an hour, yellow means 30 to 45 miles an hour and red means heavy traffic –cars standing still or moving less than 30 miles an hour.
“See that red light near Austin Avenue?” The controller asked a visitor,” That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”
At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again.” A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,” the controller explained.” They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”
The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road.
The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18%.There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressways for each 100 million miles traveled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6.
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing ”, and systems like
Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.” Chicago has taken the lead.” says New York City’s traffic director.
32. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Computerized Traffic Control System
B. Rush Period Getting Longer
C. The Nation’s Busiest Road
D. Sensors on Expressways
33. How does the controller follow Chicago traffic?
A. By learning how to use a computer.
B. By waiting for the red light to turn to green.
C. By watching the sensors into the expressways.
D. By looking at a set of lights on the map in the control room.
34. Which color shows that the traffic moves the fastest?
A. Red B. Yellow C. Green D. Black
35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There were more accidents on Chicago’s expressways before the system is in use.
B. When there is an accident or a stopped car, a truck will be sent to clear the road.
C. Houston has used the system before Chicago.
D. It is easy for Charles M. Mclean to follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic.

Scroll ball
Congratulations on selecting our wireless mighty mouse. The mouse is of high quality. Only the scroll ball is visible at first glance, but it is actually a four-button mouse. At both sides, there are a couple of force-sensing buttons which can be programmed according to your needs.
Setting up the Wireless Mighty Mouse
Put the batteries in the mouse first. Then pair the mouse and the computer. Setting up the mighty mouse is simple. You just need to install (安装) the software and turn the mouse on for it to get detected by the computer.
Using the Wireless Mighty Mouse
The mighty mouse has laser (激光) tracking technology, so you can use it on most surfaces. Another new invention is the 360-degree scroll wheel. It is a multi-directional scroll wheel that allows you to scroll in all directions. The left and right buttons require just enough touch pressure to accept the input. Once you have set it up to your comfort, it functions smoothly without any problems. You can use either the left or the right button to click, double-click, and drag items. Either button can also be used to display an item’s short-cut menu. You can assign a function to the side buttons and the scroll ball, which also function as a button.
Cleaning Your Mouse and Scroll Ball
Use a cloth that’s been lightly moistened (湿) with water to clean. Don’t get moisture in any openings. If your mouse stops scrolling or if scrolling becomes rough, clean the mouse scroll ball. Turn the ball while cleaning for complete coverage.

While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit (电路装置) for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.”
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (编码). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I
exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.
39. According to the passage, the writer was interested in ______.
A. developing traffic systems B. doing challenging projects
C. winning great prizes D. writing different codes
40. The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at first because ______.
A. he had no clear idea about his program
B. he was too shy to express himself
C. he wanted to be understood easily
D. he preferred this kind of question
41. We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program ______.
A. would benefit people a lot
B. was done together with others
C. was difficult and needed patience
D. cost much money and energy
42. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Do It Yourself B. No Pains, No Gains
C. Learning with Interest D. Practice Makes Perfect

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was lazy.______43_______. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with (忍受 ) her as long as I could. _______44__________ I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked,” Are the things she said true or not? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. ______45_____. I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
________46________. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure（珍惜 ）all your life!
A. To my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
A. Many years have passed.
B. At last, I became very angry.
C. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student.

Steven Cleaver has some outdoor activity ideas for families. The activities will drive your family’s sadness away. Steven is the Executive Director（执行理事）of Horizons for Youth, an organization in Massachusetts that has worked on children’s environmental education for more than 60 years.
We asked Steven to share some outdoor activities that families can do together. Here’s what he told us.
Going to a nature center---In State Audubon societies, there are usually smaller nature centers. Naturalists are ready to answer kids’ questions so parents don’t need to worry about teaching the subject matter themselves.
Hiking---Going on a hike is a great way to go outdoors and get some exercise. State parks can offer free paths to hike along and many fields to explore.
Gardening--- Gardening is a wonderful family activity. Not only can the whole family get involved, but everyone can benefit from the harvest. Since it’s winter, you might just start with a family plan for the garden. The garden can be a cooperative effort where parents can teach their children teamwork. Assign tasks to each family member. Who plans? Who waters?
Fruit picking---It’s a great seasonal outdoor activity. Children get to see how fruits grow and everyone gets to enjoy the fruits which they pick.
Cleaning up---Taking part in nature clean-ups or volunteering to do path maintenance(维护)teaches kids that they have the ability to do something positive for the environment and communities. When parents get involved, they can set a good example for their children to follow, which will help children realize their responsibility to protect the environment.
47. Will the outdoor activities drive your family’s sadness away?
______________________________________________________
48. Who will answer kids’ questions in nature centers, naturalists or parents?
______________________________________________________
49. Which places can offer free paths to hike along?

50. What is a great seasonal outdoor activity?

Hi！Alice ,
I'm glad to hear from you．
Yes，I sometimes have the same problem．
I think if she really needs the money，you'd better lend it to her．You don't need to worry too much．She'll probably pay you back when she has money．If you don't lend her the money，I'm afraid you may lose the friend．
I think everyone may have trouble in life and we should help each other．So when my friends need money，I will try my best to help them．Maybe I'll get it back，or maybe I won't．
I hope what I said can help you．
Yours，
Liu Ming
