From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles, or just pick out a selection of the best.

At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!
Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations
can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to di ced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.
Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.
I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence –“crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China fe eling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?
24. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants
A. Confusing but amusing.
B. Easy to understand.
C. Boring and annoying.
D. Accurate and helpful.
25. The underlined word “gamble” in the last p aragraph probably means ______.
A. taste
B. look
C. step
D. risk
26. The passage mainly deals with ______.
A. the a uthor’s favorite Chinese dishes
B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant
C. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food
D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English
27. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.
A. examples and statements
B. comparison and conclusion
C. causes and effects
D. time and description
C
Do you believe that things are connected for no scientific reason at all For example, do you avoid saying the word “four” to avoid bad luck
If so, you have a superstition (迷信). And you’re not alone – all kinds of people have them.
For example, Portugal’s soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph. And sports players are not alone in having superstitions. A visitor once asked the Nobel Prize winning scientist Niels Bohr whether he really believed that the horseshoe he’d hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said. “But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.”
One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar to the connection between stepping on the pitch and playing soccer well, according to The Atlantic. When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements such as “Trees produce oxyg en so that animals can breathe” as they were when they had more time to think about their reply.
It seems that fear can make people think differently in this way, too. In a British study, students i magined meeting a “witch” who said she would cast (施魔法) an evil spell(符咒) on them. About half said a scientist should not be worried about the spell. Yet each of them said that, personally, they wouldn’t let the witch do it to them.
So why are so many of us superstitious Well, it seems to be our way of dealing with the unknown. “Many people quit e simply just want to believe,”Brian Cronk, a professor of
psychology at Missouri Western State University, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explanations.”
And these explanations aren’t completely unhelpful. In f act, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real luck, according to psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany in the May 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science. They found that believing in something can improve performance on a task like an exam.
So, what about you What superstitions do you follow to keep you safe and successful
28. The author mentions avoiding saying the word "four" in the opening paragraph to _________________.
A. show how foolish it is to believe in superstitions
B. introduce the readers to the topic of superstitions
C. discuss the scientific reasons behind superstitions
D. prove that it is reasonable to be superstitious
29. How many superstitious practices are mentioned in the passage?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
30. What’s the author’s attitude to superstitions?
A. Neutral
B. Positive
C. Negative
D. Unknown
31. What is the best title of the article?
A. How to get rid of superstitions
B. How superstitions affect our daily lives
C. How some common superstitions came into being
D. Why superstitions are common
D
What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, chemistry, geology, engineering, medical or any other science We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines and products that scientists and technologists develop. New drugs, faster and safer means of transport, new systems of applied knowledge are some examples of this aspect of science.
The second aspect is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. What are these special methods of thinking and acting First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity — he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no isfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions, whether of pure or applied knowledge, and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes. He uses the facts he observes to the full extent. For example, trained observers acquire a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.
He is skeptical —he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available — and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth.
Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data, which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he
wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.
61. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through __________.
A. applied knowledge
B. more than one aspect
C. technology only
D. the use of machines
62. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity?
A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.
B. It gives rise to interest in problem that are unexplained.
C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.
D. It encourages the scientists to look for new ways of acting.
63. According to the passage, a successful scientist would not __________.
A. easily believe in unchecked statements
B. easily criticize others’ research work
C. always use his imagination in work
D. always use evidence from observation
64. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Application of technology.
B. Progress in modern society.
C. Scientists’ way of thinking and acting.
D. How to ome a successful scientist.

She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 45 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 46 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my 47 for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 48 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.

I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 55 about what to do….”

I was really 59 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.

Dear Steve,
I’m so pleased to learn that you and your classmates are learning Chinese. I’d like to recommend the following two dictionaries. The English-Chinese Chinese-English Dictionary is really a good choice for beginners. It covers 18,000 English words and 20,000 Chinese characters. Besides plenty of examples, it has many notes telling you how to use a word. With a vocabulary of 10,000 characters included, Xinhua Dictionary is the most popular Chinese dictionary in China. Generally, it is considered to be a useful tool to some advanced Chinese learners. Of the two, ECCED is the more expensive, costing 52 yuan while XD only costs 11yuan.
Wish my recommendation would be helpful to you. If you want me to buy these dictionaries for you, please let me know.
Yours,
Lihua。
