McDonald's
Fast-food restaurants are very popular in the United States. They are popular because the service is fast and the prices are low. Of all the fast-food restaurants, McDonald's is probably the most famous and the most popular.
McDonald's is popular for several reasons. Customers can get the same food at any McDonald's in any state or country. The employees are helpful and polite, and the tables and floors are clean. Ray Kroc, past president of McDonald's, believed that helpful employees, a clean restaurant, and good food were necessary.
McDonald's customers do like the food. They like the sandwiches, the milk shakes, and the French fries. Of all the items on McDonald's menu, the French fries are probably the most popular. They are good because of their special preparation.
Richard and Maurice McDonald, the original owners of McDonald's, had their own special preparation of French fries. In 1948, they opened their first self-service restaurant in San Bernardino, California. People **e from everywhere to buy their French fries and hamburgers. Workers would buy their lunches at McDonald's because the hamburgers and French fries tasted better than their lunches from home.
By 1960, the McDonald brothers owned 228 self-service restaurants. Then, in 1960, Ray Kroc, a 56-year-old salesman, bought the name and most of the restaurants for $2.7 million.
He then began to build new restaurants, and by 1982, he owned about 7,063. Of those restaurants, about 1,283 were in other countries.. Japan, West Germany (at that time), England, and Australia. That same year, McDonald's Corporation earned about $7 billion.
McDonald's is a big business, but it is not too big or too rich to help ordinary people. For example, owners of restaurants participate in **munity programs for children or senior citizens. Other owners have carnivals (游艺会) to get money for medical research.
The corporation owns special houses near children's hospitals. These Ronald McDonald houses are for sick children and their parents. Sometimes a child has to stay at a hospital for several weeks or months. Then the child's parents can stay at a Ronald McDonald house. Staying at these houses is cheaper than staying at hotels, and the atmosphere is friendly and more homelike.
People go to McDonald's not because of community programs or Ronald McDonald houses. They go because of food, the fast service, and the low prices. They are like David Green. He says, "McDonald's
is my favorite place to eat in the whole world. I wouldn't move to any town that didn't have one".

A thirsty bee went to a river to drink. As it was drinking, it was carried away by the running water. Just then a kind bird was nearby. When the bird saw the bee's danger, it picked a leaf and threw it into the water in front of the bee. The bee quickly got hold of the leaf and was able to climb onto it. The bee was safely brought to the land and it thanked the bird for its kindness and then flew away. Not long after, the bird was sitting on the branch of a tree and it did not see that a man was aiming his gun at it. But the bee saw what the man was doing. It quickly flew into the man's eye and hurt him. The pain in his eye was so great that he was not able to shoot the bird. The bird flew away.
In this way the bee, whose life had been saved by the bird, was able to save the life of the bird.

[听力原文] 29-31
Do you like oranges and bananas? Oranges grow in Florida and California, while bananas grow in Central and South America. Trucks, trains, and ships bring this fruit to you. You can buy oranges and bananas in any market.
It was not always this way. Long ago, to get this fruit, you had to live where it grew as there were no cars then and ships were very slow. So good roads had to be built and cars had to be made. Now people can move about more quickly driving their cars and fast ships can bring fruit to us from far away. When it gets here, the fruit is put on fast trains or trucks. Then it is sent all over the country.
Airplanes also bring us things from faraway places. Right now it costs a lot of money to send things by air. But someday, airplanes may bring us all our fresh fruit, and someday even rockets may bring us fresh fruit still faster.

An artist had a small daughter. Sometimes he painted women without any clothes on, and he and his wife always tried to keep the small girl out when he was doing this. "She is too young to understand the art," they said.
But one day, when the artist was painting a woman with no clothes on, he forgot to lock the door, and the little girl suddenly ran into the room. Her mother ran up the stairs after her, but when she got to the top, the little girl was already in the room and looking at the woman. Both her parents waited for her to speak.
For a few seconds the little girl said nothing, but then she ran

Section C
Directions:In this section, ,you will hear a passage three times'. When the passage is read for the ,first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks
numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when 1 (36) up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he (37) my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, It's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say (38) their real meaning. And if we
don't really listen, we miss the feeling (39) the words. Suppose someone tells you, "'You're a lucky dog." That's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There is a (40) of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts
you (41) a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't
think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be (42) for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the (43) is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? (44) . It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I (36) broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend9 Or did he (37) envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel had. But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends -- or our enemies?
Sometimes what people say (38) hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling (39) behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." That's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There is a (40) bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you (41) down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be (42) thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the (43) speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? (44) Hidden in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you
to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? (45) One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words
fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. (46) The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
