20、itting with people they dont know. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自来水) before you order. You may find the bread and butte
21、r is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（续杯）.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving(一份 ) in restaurants is oft
22、en large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”.

23、. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either.

Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomen
28、on (大气现象) known as the jet stream (气流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (= above sea level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the op
29、posite.2. What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other buildings float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed,
30、 moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. Turning off gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off i
31、n a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (= top surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.31. What information can we get from the first passage?A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.B

Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line.35. Where can we read this passage?A. In a re
35、search paper. B. In a short story.C. In a travel magazine. D. In a students bookDCollege students often hear about the “freshman fifteen”. What does it mean? You may wonder.It means the fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms students might gain(获得) in their first year of college.Many young men and
36、 women put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools have studied it. Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, has found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks. That is almost two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate(比率), how long before t
37、hey put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year.And why do so many freshmen gain weight? The answers listed by experts are not so surprising. The freshmen gain weight because its the first time for college kids to enjoy complete control over their lives. They may choose t
38、o eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. For example, college students often eat foods high in fat. After all, there are no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just busy. Also, freshmen often use food to relax thei
39、r mind, they will overeat when they have food as they have college pressures to deal with. This may be short-lived (短暂的), but the weight gain should not be overlooked(忽视). Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the beginning. Or even worse, they may ca

43、ventETwenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. After
44、 a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing,” I told her. “I
45、just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, youre such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“Its not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, Im in no hurry,” she said. “Im on m
46、y way to a hospice (临终医院). I dont have any family left. The doctor says I dont have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the f
47、urniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes shed ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,” Im tired. Lets go now.” We drove in silence to the address she ha
48、d given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”41. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to _.A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last timeC. let th
