And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years .Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but shes planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty - five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. Shes discovered something else too. You dont have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan, ” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who cant make up their minds. They look down the menu and sayWhat do you suggest?So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, Not very, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate.

One of the reasons why people like to eat in the hotel is that it is full of a friendly atmosphere.B In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own business for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this minimal selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitress, and no tips. Their hamburgers were sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brother had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc. Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers fast food restaurants and bought right to franchise other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu, the equipment, even their red white building with the golden arches. Today McDonalds is literally a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonalds had over $1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history. 60. This passage is mainly about _.A. the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonaldB. how McDonalds became a billion-dollar businessC. Ray Krocs business abilitiesD. the development of fast-food services61. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy because they sold their idea to KrocB. Ray Kroc was a good businessmanC. the location the McDonald chose was the only source of the great popularity of their driver-inD. forty years ago there were numerous fast-food restaurants62. The passage suggests that _.A. creativity is an important element of successB. Ray Kroc spent long hours working in the first McDonaldC. the McDonalds sold only fresh homegrown vegetablesD. California is the best place to go into business63. The underlined word “unique”(in paragraph 3) probably means _.A. aesthetic B. financial C. ethnic D. unparalleledCFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan（扫视）the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy（银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.64According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A. 5 billionB. 10 billion.C. 15 billion.D. 200 billion65The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _ .A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsB. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsC. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsD. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets66The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ _ ”.A. findB. followC. checkD. form67Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.D. Scientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets.D“Most experiences of absent - mindednessforgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a roomare caused by a simple lack of attention, ” says Schacter. “Youre supposed to remember something, but you havent encoded（编码） it deeply.”Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impression on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create troublesome situations. If youput your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your cupboard.“ Your memory itself isnt failing you, ” says Schacter, “Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed.”Lack of interest can also lead to absent -mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, ” says Zelinski, “ may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.”Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.“Visual cues（ 视觉提示 ）can help prevent absent- mindedness, ”says Schacter, “But be sure the cue is clear and available. ”If you want to remember to take a medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen tabledont leave it in the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common experience of absent - mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why youre there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time, ”says Zelinski. “The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember.”68The writer of the passage thinks that encoding properly is very important because _.A. it enables us to recall something from our memoryB. it slows down the process of losing our memoryC. it helps us understand our memory system betterD. it helps us to get back to where we were69One possible reason why women have a little better memories than men is that_.A. they rely more on the environmentB. they have a wider range of interestsC. they have an unusual power of focusing their attentionD. they are more interested in whats happening around them70Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder? _.A. It will easily get lostB. It is out of your sightC. Its not clear enough for you to readD. It might get mixed up with other things71From the last paragraph we can learn that_.A. repetition might help improve our memoryB. memory depends to
