    McDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the world's most recognized person after Santa Claus.
    The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.
    After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（￡44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.
    Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984） at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac （1968） and the Egg McMuffin （1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.
    Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and Israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean.”
    小题1:McDonald's was founded _____.
    A．by a kitchen equipment salesman
    B．in California

    Your peers are people your age or close to it who have experiences and interests similar to yours. You and your friends make dozens of decisions every day, and you influence each other’s choices and behavior. This is often ________ --- it’s human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
    Sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers. They may pressure you into doing something you’re uncomfortable with, such as shoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.
    The pressure to conform（随潮流） can be powerful and hard to resist. A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless--- or something that has more serious consequences.
    People may feel pressure to conform, so they fit in or are accepted, or so they don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable. When people are unsure of what to do in a social situation, they naturally look to others for cues（暗示）about what is and isn’t acceptable.
    The people who are most easily influenced will follow someone else’s lead first. Then others may go along, too --- so it can be easy to think, “It must be OK. Everyone else is doing it. They must know what they’re doing.” Before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd --- perhaps on something they might not otherwise do.
    Responding to peer pressure is part of human nature --- but some people are more likely to give in, and others are better able to resist and stand their ground.
    It’s not always easy to resist negative peer pressure. But when you do, it is easy to feel good about it afterwards. And you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way --- often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation.
    小题1:Which of the following is a kind of peer pressure?
    A．Your teachers give you a lot of homework.
    B．Your parents expect high scores from you.
    C．Your classmates persuade you to cut class.
    D．Your relatives invite you to attend a party.
    小题2:Which is most likely to be filled in the blank in Paragraph 1?
    A．negative
    B．impossible
    C．positive
    D．uncertain
    小题3:Most people tend to do what others are doing in order to _________.
    A．feel a sense of achievement
    B．get a feeling of being accepted
    C．set a good example for others
    D．stand out in a crowd
    小题4:What can we know according to the author?
    A．Giving in to peer pressure is unavoidable.
    B．Peer pressure usually leads to serious results.
    C．Going along with the crowd usually means making a right choice.
    D．Everyone can make a difference by resisting negative peer pressure.
    小题5:This passage is mainly about _______.
    A．thoughts on peer pressure
    B．different types of peer pressure
    C．ways to deal with peer pressure
    D．the influence of peer pressure on people

    You’re finishing up your history homework when your cell phone rings. You’ve got 30 minutes to reach head-quarters, get your equipment packed and receive your task. There’s a lost hiker in the mountains near the edge of town. Your task: find the missing person; provide emergency medical treatment, if necessary; and be prepared to operate 48 hours on your own with only the supplies you carry.
    Sounds like some kind of film’s plot? Not if you’re a member of the Arapahoe teen rescue patrol in the suburbs of Denver. About 25 teen guys and girls are active members of this search, rescue and emergency organization, and they know firsthand that you don’t have to be an adult to save lives.
    These 9th-through-12th graders are the real deal when it comes to emergency services. In fact, they’re the only teen-commanded patrol in the nation. Sure they have adult advisers to turn to if necessary, but in the field it’s a teen patrol officer calling the shots — sometimes even giving direction to adults.
    Members are trained in rock-high-angle，swift-water and avalanche rescue (雪崩施行营救), winter and alpine operation , wilderness life support and emergency care, among other skills. They also regularly ride along with the local fire and police departments, providing support such as security details and evidence searching.
    When asked what qualities make a good patrol member, founder and president Stan Bush named good physical conditioning and an interest in helping people. “We put in lots and lots of hours helping people in trouble,” he says. “So if a person is not really interested in doing that kind of thing, he won’t last as a member.”
    小题1:In the first paragraph, the author describes ______.
    A．a plot in some kind of filmB．a teen patrol member’s life
    C．an emergency rescueD．a lost hiker in trouble
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT true about the Arapahoe teen rescue patrol?
    A．They are trained to have many special skills.
    B．They also work with local firemen and policemen.
    C．They turn to adults for help sometimes.
    D．They think they can save lives only when growing up.
    小题3:If you want to become a good rescue patrol member, you must ______.
    A．be strong and interested in offering help
    B．be a 9th-through-12th grader
    C．finish your history homework first
    D．spend many hours helping people first
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．What qualities make a good patrol member?
    B．The Arapahoe teen rescue patrol
    C．How to become a rescue patrol member
    D．Skills a rescue patrol member needs

    A few months before I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.
    As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position. My parents were complementary instructors：Mom taught me the words, and Dad taught me to obey them. But the stranger... He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies(喜剧).
    If I wanted to know anything about politics，history or science，he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.
    I now know that my early concepts about relationship were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom blamed...and NEVER asked to leave.
    More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended(融合) right in but is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you were to walk into my parent's room today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name?
    We just call him...“TV”.
    He has a younger sister now. We call her “Computer”.
    小题1:When the stranger came to live with our family, he was ________.
    A．ignored by the children
    B．driven away for no reason
    C．abandoned because it was too noisy
    D．accepted by every family member
    小题2:The stranger can do all the following things EXCEPT that he can ________.
    A．tell us some funny storiesB．reject our proposals(提议)
    C．influence the children's characterD．predict the future
    小题3:The underlined word “spellbound” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
    A．concentratedB．puzzled
    C．fascinatedD．astonished
    小题4:What can we learn from the last three paragraphs of the passage?
    A．The computer is more advanced and has gained greater popularity.
    B．Old as he is，we like the stranger best.
    C．The TV set is out of fashion and often breaks down.
    D．We decide to throw the TV set away immediately.

    Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to South Korea with his parents during the Spring Festival.
    “Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
    Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
    Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
    By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
    The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
    “More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.”
    Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, 中国消费者协会) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
    “Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations(名声) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
    Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies(旅行社) last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
    Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts(合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
    小题1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
    A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
    小题2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
    A．Choosing the best travel agent.
    B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
    C．Traveling to Europe.
    D．Cost.
    小题3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
    A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
    B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
    C．People go to different places than they had planned to.
    D．People complained more than they had planned to.
    小题4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that _______.
    A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
    B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
    C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
    D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.
    小题5: What would be a good title for this passage?
    A．Xu Hui’s Vacation in South Korea
    B．The Job of the National Tourism Administration
    C．Where Young Chinese Travelers Go
    D．Suggestions for the Chinese Travelers

    Fourteen – year – old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first．
    The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges．But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “I couldn’t be thinking about how many mistakes I’d make—it would distract me from playing,” he says．“I didn’t even remember trying to impress people while I played． It’s almost as if they weren’t there． I just wanted to make music．”
    Hawley is a winner． But he didn’t become a winner by concentrating on winning． He did it by concentrating on playing well．
    “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin．“The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle．The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well．”
    A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr．Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions．“They are interested in winning, but they’re most interested in self-development, testing their limits．”
    One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they’ve had and how much they’ve learned from each． “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,” Garfield says．“They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’．”
    A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree．
    “The worst thing you can do if you’ve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression． You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them．” Garfield believes that most people don’t give themselves enough praise． He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you’ve done on the way to a goal．
    小题1:Hawley won the contest because _______．
    A．he put all his mind to his performance
    B．he cared much about the judges’ feelings
    C．he tried his best to avoid making mistakes
    D．he paid close attention to the people around
    小题2:High performers is that they tend to give priority to _______．
    A．gloryB．wealthC．pleasureD．work
    小题3:According to the passage, successful people concentrate on _______．
    A．challenging their own limitsB．learning from others
    C．defeating their opponentsD．avoiding setbacks
    小题4: It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not _______．
    A．interested in winningB．free of losses
    C．accustomed to failuresD．concerned about setbacks
    小题5:The passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble _______．
    A．helps people deal with their disappointment
    B．makes people forget their setbacks
    C．makes people regret about their past
    D．helps people realize their goals

    Spring is here and so is the cycling season. Here are some tips on how to do it safely and comfortably.
    Watch your feet—Pushing with the wrong part of the foot can raise your risk of developing a painful injury of the heel and arch（脚心）, says Rob Werstine, a sports physiotherapist（理疗师）and board member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.  You should push with the ball of your foot, he says.
    Layer up—While it’s still cool, wear layers of clothing, with clothing close to the body that breathes and outer layers that do not absorb water. Go for bright colors that increase your visibility（可见度）.
    Be reasonable—If you are just starting out and aren’t in good shape, don’t sign up for a 50-kilometre ride. And while cycling is great exercise for people who want to get into shape, if your doctor advises you not to do tiring exercise, cycling shouldn't be your starting position, Werstine says. Walk to begin getting into shape and then graduate to cycling.                           
    Fix the fit—If you develop lower back pain or numbness in your hands and fingers from cycling, it could be your bike isn’t adjusted properly for your height. A good cycle shop can help you find the right height for the seat and handlebars, but if you have continuing problems, consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist, Werstine says.
    Be mindful—You have to pay attention on the roads to vehicles, other cyclists and pedestrians（行人）.Consider taking a cycling safety course to practise your skills. Or do some reading about how to avoid dangerous cycling situations. bicyclesafe.com, for instance, lists 10 types of car-bike accidents and how to avoid them.
    小题1:Which part of the foot should one use when cycling?
    A．The heel.B．The arch.C．The ball.D．The toes.
    小题2: From Paragraph 4 we can conclude______.
    A．not everyone can exercise by cyclingB．walking is better than cycling
    C．cycling is popular with peopleD．cycling is helpful to everyone
    小题3:According to the last paragraph, if you want to avoid danger when cycling, you should ______.
    a. consider taking a cycling safety course
    b. search for information on bicyclesafe.com
    c. consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist
    d. adjust the bike properly for your height

You can learn from a book, a DVD, on the Internet or by attending classes. One of the most successful ways to improve your English is to join a course in a country where English is widely spoken. The more you practice, the more you will learn. But why learn the English language? English is an important language for anyone who is planning to travel or become involved in business.
