      "Clean your plate! "and "Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal:” Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.

      According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.

     Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.

     Health exports have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believed restaurants served portions that were too large; 23 percent bad no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford the dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those who earn at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $ 25,000 want smaller.

61. By saying "Clean your plate!", American parents want their children________.

A. to save food for tomorrow              B. to wash the dishes

C. not to eat too much                    D. not to waste food

62. The underlined part "growing bellies" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.

    A. starving orphans                B. expending waistline

    C. growing portion sizes            D. fine dining

63. American restaurants serve large portions in order to___________.

    A. earn more money               B. meet the government's requirement

    C. satisfy their customers           D. raise the quality of feed

64. Of the people surveyed, about ---- want smaller portions.

A. 2280           B. 920              C. 800                D. 3000

65. Which of the following is most likely to he discussed next?

    A. How large portion sizes lead to growing hollies.

    B. What should be done to help those earning less.

    C. Who to blame for the growing bellies.

    D. Why people with different incomes have different opinions.

      Lewis Grassic Gibbon ' s Sunset Song ( 1932 ) was voted "the host Scottish novel of all time” by Scotland' s reading public in 2005. Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspect of the lives of Scotland’s poor rural farmers, it has been adapted for stage, film, TV and radio in recent decades.

     The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community and a little outside it.

     Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine. We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father; experience tragedy(her mother killed herself as well as her two children); and learn about her feelings as she grows into a woman. We see her marry; lose her husband, then many again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.

      Sunset Song has a social theme too. It shows how traditional Scottish rural life is destroyed first by modernization and then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris’s husband, Ewan Tavendale. The war finally kills Ewan, but not in the way his widow is told. In fact, the Germans aren’t responsible for his death. But his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.

66. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the first paragraph?

   A. Lewis Grassic Gibbon is a rather frank person.

   B. Sunset Song is about Scotland’s poor rural farmers.

   C. Sunset Song was written by Lewis Grasaic Gibbon.

D. Sunset Song is well popular among Scottish readers.

68. Which statement is NOT true of Chris?

C. She married more than once.         D. Her father was very kind to her mother.

69. Which of the following is the least relevant to the novel’s social theme?

A. Some people tries to resist the war.

B. Many young men are taken away to the war.

C. Chris' husband ides to run away from a battle field.

D. traditional Scottish rural life is destroyed by modernization.

70. Chris is told that her husband Ewan was killed by _______>

A. the Germans     B. his own troops     C. himself       D. illness

     Are women set up to fail ― by being appointed to positions of power only in hopeless situation?

     Two British academics say so, and they claim to have proved it this year. In one study they took 83 business people -roughly half of them women - and described to them two companies, one that was steadily improving in profitability and another that was steadily declining.The subjects were told to pick a new financial director for the firm and were presented with three candidates: a man and a woman who were exactly the same in experience and a lesser-qualified male. The subjects were slightly more likely to pick a man to lead the successful firm but were far more likely to pick the woman to lead the failing one. Two other experiments with similar designs produced the same result: When presented with men and women to lead a company that's going down the lubes, people pick the woman.

      What’s going on? In a write-up of their experiments in The leadership Quarterly in October, the academics, Michelle Ryan and Alex Haslam, called it "the glass cliff," which they argue is an invisible form of prejudice. In other words, people will give women a position of power only when there’s a strong chance of failure. Why? "If someone has to be the scapegoat ( 替罪羊 ) to take the fall, you' re not going to put your best man forward ," Ryan says. Women

are thrust into desperate situations precisely because they’re likely to fail, creating" proof" that women can't handle responsibility.

     Ryan and Haslam say the data also suggest the glass cliff applies to minorities. When you consider this year's American presidential election, the glass-cliff theory becomes particularly truthful -- because it might neatly explain the rise of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Perhaps it was only during extremely hard times that America would finally consider a woman and a black man for the highest office.

71. The underlined word 'subjects’ refers to________

A. the two companies                    B. the two British academics

C. the 83 business people                 D. the three candidates

72. The woman was more likely to be chosen to lead the failing company because

A. she was far more experienced than the men

B. those who made the choice were largely male

C. those who made the choice were largely female

D. those who made the choice were prejudiced against women

73. The underlined part "going down the tubes" is closest in meaning to __

A. declining        B. improving         C. climbing            D. facing.

74. According to the author, Obama has been elected president because ____________.

     A. he is highly respected by the American people

     B. the US is in big trouble and he is a black man

     C. black people enjoy equality with whites in the US

     D. as a woman, Hillary/Clinton cannot possibly defeat him
