Passage 3
Everybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.
The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.
Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.
Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.

One of the things I always believed is that no matter how bad something is, you can 56 something valuable out of it. The 57 I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I hear older people 58 about the attack on Pearl Harbor(珍珠港) and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 59 them in their lives. For my 60, the tragedy（悲剧）of September11can be 61 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 62 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.
It wasn’t until a few weeks 63 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem 64 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother（麻烦的事）before are no longer a 65 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short, and 66, to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints（抱怨） and 67 I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “ 68 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say that for sure. 69 change in the blink（眨眼）of an eye. People go to 70 and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 71 minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 72 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 73 know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make 74 of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just 75.

Passage 1
As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably enjoy the experience. If you will be eating a good meal alone, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion(消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, prepare for your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed(装满). Take a folding(折叠)case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy(极其方便)for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

Passage 3
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do； he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to *. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
51. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.
A. life for a child is comparatively easy
