Mum laughed. "Tonight's my family's favourite meal. If you set your best table for a(n) 18 meal with guests,why not for your own 19 ? A few broken plates are a small 20 to pay for the joy we get. "Then she added," 21 every chip and crack has a story to tell."
Mum went to the cupboard and took down a plate. She said,"Seeing this 22 on the edge here? It happened when I was 17."

B [2015 .山東濰坊高三一模]
Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the US. The restaurants' dishes are not "fast food". They are known as "fast casual".
Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald's has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald's net in?come dropped by about $ 300 million. 丁he January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald's is struggling to get its customers back. Shake Shack is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $ 21 a share to just under $ 46 a share. Being part of the "fast casual" trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the US include Chipotle and Panera.
Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans' restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it's new. It is creative, it is something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms Riggs says, "It's growing by leaps and bounds , because it meets consumers' needs. They know it's being prepared while they wait and that it's fresh, quality and good-tasting food at reasonable and affordable prices."
Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.
4. What is the trouble with McDonald's?
A. Its share goes down to $ 21.
B. Shake Shack has taken its place.
C. It's not popular with Americans.
D. Its sales and income have dropped.
5. We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans____________ .
A. like to try something new
B. care only about the quality
C. don't like fast food any more
D. pay more restaurant visits to fast casual
6. What does the underlined phrase "by leaps and bounds" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Steadily. B. Rapidly.
C. Slowly. D. Normally.
7. Which of the following best describes fast casual?
A. Fresh-made and tasty.
B. High-quality and expensive.
C. Farm-to-table and traditional.
D. Time-consuming and special.

B [2015 •安徽合肥第二次質(zhì)襝〗Why do people feel so rushed? Part of this is a perception (感知)problem. Generally, people in rich countries have more free time than they used to. This is particularly true in Europe, but even in America free time has been inching up. Women's paid work has risen a lot over this period,but their time in unpaid work, like cooking and cleaning, has fallen even more significantly, thanks in part to dishwashers, wash?ing machines and microwaves, and also to the fact that men shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to.
The problem, then, is less how much time people have than how they see it. Ever since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labour hours in the 18th century, time has been understood in relation to money. Once hours are fi?nancially quantified (量 化), people worry more about wast?ing, but tend to save or use them more profitably. When economies grow and incomes rise, everyone's time becomes more valuable. And the more valuable something becomes, the rarer it seems.
Once seeing their time in terms of money, people often grow stingy with the former to maximize the latter. Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and tend to feel more upset when they are not working.
The relationship between time, money and anxiety is something Gary S. Becker noticed in America's post-war boom years. "If anything, time is used more carefully today than a century ago?" he noted in 1965. He found that when people are paid more to work? they tend to work longer hours, because working becomes a more profitable use of time. So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time. Leisure time starts to seem more stressful, as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all.
5.Women's time in unpaid work has fallen partly because
A. men's ability to support their families has been im?proved
B. men's involvement in housework has increased
C. women's leisure time was taken up by heavy house?work
D. women become more skilled at household equipment
6. From the second paragraph, we learn that .
A. labour hours were recorded with a clock
B. people haven't realized the value of time
C. more work hours bring in more money
D. the rise of incomes makes time less valuable
7.The underlined phrase "grow stingy with" in Paragraph 3
can probably be replaced by "___________
A. refuse to delay
B. intend to kill
C. try to accumulate
D. hesitate to spend
8. According to Gary Becker, what causes people feel anx?ious about time?
A. The wrong way of time being spent.
B. People's willingness to work hard.
C. The increasing value of work time.
D. More and more leisure time.

I.閱讀理解[2015 •黑龍江綏化三校高三聯(lián)考]
Culture helps human societies survive in changing natural environment. For example, the end of the last Ice Age, be?ginning about 15,000 years ago, brought a big challenge to which humans had to adapt. Before this time, large parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in great sheets of ice that contained much of the earth's water. In North America, large animals that wandered the vast tundra (笞原)provided people with food and materials for clothing and simple shel?ters. When the earth became warm, large Ice Age animals disappeared, and many land areas were covered by the rising sea level from melting ice. But people survived. They devel?oped new technologies and learned how to survive on new plant and animal species. Finally some people settled into permanent villages, durable houses and farms.
Cultural adaptation has made humans one of the most successful species on the planet. Through history, major de?velopments in technology, medicine, and nutrition have al?lowed people to reproduce and survive in ever-increasing num?bers. The global population has risen from 8 million during the Ice Age to about 6 billion today.
However, the success of cultural adaptation can also cre?ate problems in the long run. Over the last 200 years, people have begun to use large quantities of natural resources and en?ergy and to produce a great amount of material and chemical wastes. The global population now consumes some important natural resources—such as petroleum, wood, and minerals― faster than nature can produce them. Many scientists believe that in the process of burning fuels and producing wastes, people may be changing the global climate in unpredictable and possibly harmful ways. Thus, the adaptive success of the present-day global culture of production and trade may be temporary.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly talking about?
A. How the human beings survived in the Ice Age.
B. What the situation was like during the Ice Age.
C. What caused the Ice Age to come to an end.
D. Why the Ice Age was very important.
2.To deal with the problems, human beings should ________ according to the passage.
A. stop developing any longer
B. reduce the overuse of natural resources
C. stop the global warming and using natural resources
D. save more animals in case they all die out
3.Which of the following is the problem caused by cultural adaptation according to the passage?
A. A very developed culture came into being.
B. New technologies have been developed.
C. Natural resources have been used up.
D. Human activities have done damage to the balance of nature.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the pas?sage?
A. Natural environment should be protected
B. The success of cultural adaptation is not permanent
C. The global population is increasing since Ice Age
D. Human beings are capable of surviving on the earth

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic. the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are seri?ous. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? ―9_
At least one group of people are certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile(敵意的)to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 10 Jealousy is sometimes known as the "green-eyed monster" and the UK is its home.
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK re?cently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.
11 Those given a little were given the chance to de?stroy the large amount of money given to others―but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
12 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop?ment recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the prob?lem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become million?aires. 13 . It hardly seems worth following their ex?amples. If they were more friendly* people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
A. This test seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.
B. The one who owns the most money in the end is the winner.
C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were "unloved, unwanted and misunderstood".
D. And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.
F. But instead of being happy they complain that no?body loves them. ,
G. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.
