You probably know what fast food is. It is cooked food that is ready almost as soon as you enter a public eating place. It does not cost much.
Most fast food restaurants are chain (连锁) restaurants. That means each one is part of a huge company. Each restaurant in the chain has the same large, colorful sign that can be easy to recognize from far away. Each offers its own carefully limited choice of foods. Each kind of hamburger or piece of chicken tastes the same at every restaurant in the chain.
The fast food industry began with two brothers in the nineteen forties. Mac and Dick McDonald owned a small, but very successful restaurant. They sold only a few kinds of simple food, especially hamburgers. People stood outside the restaurant at a window. They told the workers inside what they wanted to eat. They received and paid for their food very quickly. The food came in containers that could be thrown away. The system was so successful that the McDonald brothers discovered they could sell a lot of food and lower their prices.
Ray Kroc sold restaurant supplies. He recognized the importance of the McDonald brothers' idea. Kroc paid the McDonald brothers for permission to open several restaurants similar to theirs. He opened the first McDonald's restaurant near Chicago in nineteen fifty-five. Soon, more McDonald's were opening all across the United States. Other people copied the idea and more fast food restaurants followed.
Fast food restaurants spread quickly in the United States because of franchising. Franchising means selling the legal right to operate a store in a company's chain to an independent business person. If the company approves, the business person may buy the store for a period of years. Each restaurant also gives the company about ten percent of the money it earns in sales. Today, over seventy percent of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent businessmen and women.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier (滑雪者) is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ______.
A.activity | B.uniform | C.rules | D.skills |
Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.
A.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing | |
B.teams compete against each other | |
C.it is an Olympic event | D.there are five climbers on each team |

A.each other | B.nature | C.other teams | D.international standards |
Which of the following might be the best title?
A.How to Climb High Mountains | B.Mountain Climbers |
C.Challenging Sports Activities | D.Mountaineering |
When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function(功能) at his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
The way we affect people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(积极性). Today’s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know money is not the only most motivating factor in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of Emotional Intelligence — knowing your own emotions, and how to deal with them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.

A.he is forced to do things | B.he cannot work at his best |

To positively affect employees, a leader should first of all ______.
A.provide better suggestions | B.develop his own personality |
C.give his employees a pay raise | D.hide his own emotion of fear |

A.provide a variety of projects for employees |
B.help raise employees’ living standards |

CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2008 and 2009 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers’ things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Consumer service refers to service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund(退票)problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of tickets.

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
What did the writer do last summer?
A.She worked in the supermarket. |
B.She helped someone to learn to read. |
C.She helped some single mothers. |
D.She was trained by a literacy volunteer. |
Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A.Because she liked to walk to the supermarket. |
B.Because she didn't have a bus schedule. |
C.Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket. |
D.Because she couldn't find the right bus. |
How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
A.She knew where the goods were in the supermarket. |
B.She asked others to take her to the right place. |
C.She managed to find the goods by their looks. |
D.She remembered the names of the goods. |
Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?
A.She could do many things she had not been able to before. |
B.She was able to read stories with the help of her son. |
C.She decided to continue her studies in school. |
D.She helped to build up my self-confidence. |
It’s difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. 36 enough blood, the brain can live only three to five minutes. Usually doctors can’t fix the hurt 37 such a short time.
Dr Robert White thinks he knows a 38 of help. He thinks doctors should make the hurt brain 39 to live for 30 minutes without blood. This gives the doctor 40 time to do something for the brain. Dr White experimented his 41 on fifteen monkeys. 42 he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go 43 a machine. When the brains’ 44 was 10℃, he stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes, he turned the blood back on. He 45 the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were almost 46 before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the job the doctor 47 them.
Dr White’s idea works well on monkeys. He thinks it will work on 48 . He think it will help with heart problems. A person 49 die when his heart stops; doctors can 50 it again. The problem comes: when the brain is without blood for about 5 minutes, it 51 . If doctors start the heart again after 5 minutes, the person has 52 body but a dead brain. Maybe in the future, doctors will 53 Dr White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops the doctor will 54 cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no 55 the brain.
