[1]Do Americans have any morals？That's a good question．Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions．Some voices，though，are calling Americans back to traditional moral values．William J．Bennett，former U．S Secretary of Education，edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do justthat．Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character．The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values．But what are they？
[2]One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty．The well-known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly．Little George cut down his father's favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet．When his father asked him about it，George said，"I cannot tell a lie．I did it with my hatchet．"Instead of punishment．George received praise for   ．Sometimes American honesty-being open and direct-can offend people．But Americans still believe that"honesty is the best policy．"
[3]Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance．Remember Aesop's fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race？The rabbit thought he could win easily，so he took a nap．But the turtle finally won because he did not give up．
[4]In no way can this brief description cover all the moral values honored by Americans．Courage，responsibility，loyalty，gratitude and many others could be discussed．In fact，Bennett's bestseller-over 800 pages-highlights just ten virtues．Even Bennett admits that he has only scratched the surface．But no matter how long or short the list，moral values，are invaluable．They are the foundation of American culture and any culture．
76．What's the text mainly about？（no more than 10 words）
（What are） The American moral values

7．閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題．（請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的詞數(shù)要求）
[1]Some expressions describe people who are important，or who at least think they are．One such expression is bigwig．
[2]In the seventeenth century，important men in Europe began to wear false hair，called wigs．As years passed，wigs began to get bigger．The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was． The more important he was-or thought he was一                 ．
Today，the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important．People never tell someone he is a bigwig．They only use the expression behind his back．
[3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person．A big wheel may be the head of a company，a political leader，a famous movie star．They are big wheels because they are powerful．What they do affects many people．Big wheels give the orders．Other people carry them out．As in many machines，a big wheel makes the little wheels turn．Big wheel became a popular expression after World WarⅡ．It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks．They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had influence．
[4]The top of something is the highest part．So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person．The expression is top banana．A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show．The funniest comedian is called the top banana．The next is second banana．And so on．Why a banana？A comedy act in earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the others over the head with a soft object． The object was shaped like the yellow fruit：the banana．Top banana still is used mainly in show business．Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area．

3．If you're not a fan of KFC's famous Double Down hot dog，don't worry!KFC in the UK is developing a new treat：an edible coffee cup．
The product is still in the trial stage and not yet available for purchase，but according to a KFC news report，the treat is made from a unique biscuit，wrapped in sugar paper，and lined with a layer of heat-resistant white chocolate，which helps keep the coffee hot．As you drink the coffee in the cup，the white chocolate lining will begin to melt slowly，and the biscuit begins to soften．

The edible cups will only be available in the UK when it comes out．According to a spokesperson for KFC，there are at present no plans to bring it to the U．S．yet．
