21、   In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue (烤肉) restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.

Their hamburgers 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 brothers 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 milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise (特许经营) other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches (拱门).

Today McDonald’s is really 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, McDonald’s 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.

【1】This passage mainly talks about ________.

A．the development of fast food services

D．Ray Kroc’s business talent

【2】Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except ________.

A．a drive-in

B．a cinema

A．Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc

B．the location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in

C．forty years ago there were numerous fast-food restaurants

D．Ray Kroc was a good businessman

【4】The passage suggests that ________.

A．creativity is an important element of business success

B．Ray Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothers

C．Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray Kroc

D．California is the best place to go into business

22、Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

Paper, pencil , white board , textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications (应用程序) that look like video games , but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning (旋转的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign language , or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don’t even realize how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember...they could do both at the same time!

【1】What can be added to the school thing list according to the passage?

A．An iPad.

B．An English textbook.

C．A pencil.

D．A whiteboard.

【2】What does the underlined word “ tablet ” probably mean in Chinese in this passage?

A．药片

B．掌上电脑

C．牌匾

D．桌子

【3】Futaba is ________.

A．an old kind of classroom

B．a new outdoor activity

C．a new educational application

D．a very old tool of teaching

【4】How many children can take part in one Futaba game at a time?

A．7.

B．6

C．5.

D．4.

23、   The children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can easily learn. According to the education experts and students themselves, here are the secrets of top students.

Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.

Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (持之以恒) is needed.

Get organized. Don’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one’s hands on it. Even for a student who doesn’t keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer (抽屉) is needed to put things in to save time.

Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active (主动的) reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer’s message.

Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it. “If you want to be at the top, make sure to finish the work on time.” says Christi Anderson, a top student at Lyman High School.

Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That’s what you find in your notes.

Another kind of important “secret” of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their parents’ help is important.

【1】According to the third paragraph (段落), as students, we should all   .

A. study late into night B. study in the early morning

C. study as soon as we get home D. study in our favorite time with consistency

【2】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us   to save time for study.

A. to look for our stationery B. to keep everything in hand

C. to get everything organized D. to organize ourselves into groups

【3】Which of the following is true about an active reader?

A. Take good notes. B. Ask questions continually.

C. Study everywhere. D. Arrange time well.

【4】According to the writer, the real secret in becoming a top student lies in   .

A. the good teachers B. the good education experts

C. some basic learning skills D. the parents’ help

24、发霉的食物还能吃吗?

One day, you open the fridge and find some moldy food. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn't want to waste food. She cuts off the moldy part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this?

Mold can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad—and it's not safe to eat.

If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains water. This allows mold to easily grow below its surface. Bacteria can also grow along with it.

But it's easy to remove mold from hard food. The mold can't grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to remove it. It's OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, you should still throw it away.

Most kinds of mold are bad for us. But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium can be used to make many types of cheeses, such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat—and they're quite delicious as well.
