Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasnt a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.11A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is the word “diner” in quotation marks(引号)？A. Because it is spelled differently from “ dinner”B. Because the first diner was not what it is nowC. Because diner was a new wordD. Because it is a special kind of restaurant12According to paragraph 3, diners changed in _A. Two ways B. three waysC. four ways D. five ways13The main idea of the passage is that _.A. The diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United StatesB. Samuel Johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come insideC. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didnt have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasnt the type to have a career.I then found myself a joblooking after two little girls. It wasnt too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, shed give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didnt often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didnt think I would be accepted because I didnt take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now Ive got a full-time job there.

In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.At SchoolThe school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the days studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.Afterschool ActivitiesClub activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.18Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch_.A. in restaurants B. in school cafeteriasC. at home D. in homeroom classrooms19Students in the USA go to school_days a year.A. 180 B. 200 C. 240 D. 30020The underlined word rarely in the fourth paragraph means _.A. always B. never C. seldom D. often21From the passage we know that_.A. there are less than 40 students in each class in Japanese high schoolsB. students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical educationC. there are few subjects for students to choose except the required onesD. there will not be any club activities during school vacations We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this place in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of the twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to Father for help, he didnt say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出） “ The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldnt stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Fathers wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.22The writers father took her to the top of a church tower to _.A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole townB. find out how many ways lead to the squareC. inspire her to find out another way to solve her problemD. help her forgot some unpleasant things earlier that day23What did the writer want her mother to do earlier that day?A.

It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy. The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products. This indeed, is an undesirable and an immoral practice. Instead of speaking about their own products, these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods. A few such cases are given below.1. Parachute Coconut Oil vs. V.V.D. GoldSome time back, the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.2. Tata Salt vs. Captain CookTata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company. It has been enjoying a good and steady market. Captain Cook, another producer of iodised salt, who entered the market later, had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market. The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on Free flow of their salt when transferred to a container. The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.3. Pepsi vs. Coco ColaCoca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996. When the cricket series was on, the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV. Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.4. Horlicks vs. ComplanSometime back, the TV advertisement of Complan, a health drink directly attacked Horlicks, which has been in the market for several decades. The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors. This, certainly, is not a healthy trend.Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors products. The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in. There are many consumer products like salt, oil shaving blades etc. But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.Mass media like Radio, Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies. Legal regulations, in this regard, should also be made stricter.Comparison of the past and the present of advertisementsIn the pastAt presentA technique mainly used for offering 46A trick used as a means of unfair 47The 48 of advertisement49ProductsWrong practicesV.V.D.

Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.57_ The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As he flew close，she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing(捕捉) him.58_ She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.It was her desperate love that had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to fly into the clear，blue sky. 59_ The bird circled once，twice，three times.The girl watched delightedly at the birds enjoyment. 60_ What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.Remember，the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly；the best way to keep love is to give it
