Born to a single mother, he was adopted(收养) as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me, Thomas said, “and if I gout of line, hed beat me.Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant, he said, “I could eat for free. A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendys Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made to order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales.Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation (基金会) for Adoption in 1992. In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida.

BLondon has more than nine million visitors every year. They e and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames. You can see some of the most interesting places in London by getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames. The River Thames is Londons main waterway. It has shaped the capitals landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of knowing more about the city is to take a trip along the river. The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, has bee one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has bee well-known throughout the nation. No visit to London is plete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be Londons most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than100 years old. Along all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1873. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard. About one hour by train out of London is the Tower of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queens homes-Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again. Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start the day is to fill up with an English breakfast.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of Englands many ales(浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.31. We can learn from the text that _. A. Windsor Castle has been rebuilt B. the Big Ben can be heard everywhere in London C. only some of the hotels in England serve breakfast. D. the London Eye can carry you where you like to go32. Which place may be Londons most visited tourist spot? A. Buckingham Palace B. The Tower of London C. Big Ben D. The River Thames33. If you go to London in December, you will not be able to _ A. visit Windsor Castle B. tour the Buckingham Palace C. tour the city along the River Thames D. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards.34. The underlined word “landscape” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _. A. sights B. interests C. characteristics D. culture35. The whole passage mainly introduces the _. A. tourism in London B. tourists in London B. history in London D. sightseeing in LondonC As prices and building costs keep rising, the “ do-it- yourself”(DIY) trend ( 趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow. “ We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “ and we just didnt have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a high school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “ I was deeply upset about it. Now Ive finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.” John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to bee a “ do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who dont have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.36. We can learn from the passage that many newly married people_.A. find it hard to pay for what they need B. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the government D. seldom go to a department store to buy things37.
