Read the following texts in which five people wrote about being a vegetarian. For questions 61-65， match the name of each person （61-65） to one of the statements （A-G） given below. Mark youranswers on your ANSWER SHEET.

Laurie:

It is encouraging to see that， whether out of sympathy for animals or a concern for their own health or both， people are starting to realize that it does not pay to eat too far up on the food chain.

Meat need not be what is for dinner. Factory farming is barbaric and cruel. Every person who re-duces the use of animals in his life is performing a lifesaving act.

Jeff:

I am ready to be a vegetarian， but in our country， farmers， food producers， restaurants and su- permarkets are not prepared to support me. We all know that it is much easier and less expensive to get a hamburger at McDonald" s or Chinese takeout or a roast chicken from the supermarket than it is to take the time to shop for， assemble and cook a tasty， nutritious and fulfilling vegetarian meal.

Rod:

I"ve heard another term for vegetarians: beady-eyed vegetarians. They" 11 eat things with beady eyes （ fish， chicken） but not with big， sad eyes （ cows， lambs）. A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I" ve heard.

Jerry:

As a moral vegetarian， I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health， we moral vegetarians don" t want other animals to live for us， nor do we want other animals to die for us， as they do for food， clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake， not for mine.

Ellen:

Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion， a hu-man life is worth a lot more than an animal" s. I think that we must stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat; both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need.

Now match the name of each person （61 to 65） to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

A cramped public-school test kitchen might seem an unlikely outpost for a food revolution. But Collazo, executive chef for the New York City public schools, and scores of others across the country—celebrity chefs and lunch ladies, district superintendents and politicians—say they're determined to improve what kids eat in school. Nearly everyone agrees something must be done. Most school cafeterias are staffed by poorly trained, badly equipped workers who churn out 4.8 billion hot lunches a year. Often the meals, produced for about $1 each, consist of breaded meat patties, French fries and overcooked vegetables. So the kids buy muffins, cookies and ice cream instead—or they feast on fast food from McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, which is available in more than half the schools in the nation. Vending machines packed with sodas and candy line the hall ways. "We're killing our kids" with the food we serve, says Texas Education Commissioner Susan Combs.

As rates of childhood obesity and diabetes skyrocket, public-health officials say schools need to change the way kids eat. It won't be easy. Some kids and their parents don't know better. Home cooking is becoming a forgotten art. And fast-food companies now spend $3 billion a year on television ads aimed at children. Along with reading and writing, schools need to teach kids what to eat to stay healthy, says culinary innovator Alice Waters, who is introducing gardening and fresh produce to 16 schools in California. It's a golden opportunity, she says, "to affect the way children eat for the rest of their lives." Last year star English chef Jamie Oliver took over a school cafeteria in a working-class suburb of London. A documentary about his work shamed the British government into spending $500 million to revamp the nation's school-food program. Oliver says it's the United States' turn now. "If you can put a man on the moon," he says, "you can give kids the food they need to make them lighter, fitter and live longer."

Changing school food will take money. Many schools administrators are hooked on the easy cash up to $75,000 annually—that soda and candy vending machines can bring in. Three years ago Gary Hirshberg of Concord, N.H., was appalled when his 13-year-old son described his daytime meal—pizza, chocolate milk and a package of Skittles. "I wasn't aware Skittles was a food group," says Hirshberg, CEO of Stonyfield Farm, a yogurt company. So he devised a vending machine that stocks healthy snacks: yogurt smoothies, fruit leathers and whole-wheat pretzels. So far 41 schools in California, Illinois and Washington are using his machines—and a thousand more have requested them. Hirshberg says, "schools have to make good food a priority."

Some states are trying. California, New York and Texas have passed new laws that limit junk food sold on school grounds. Districts in California, New Mexico and Washington have begun buying produce from local farms. The soda and candy in the vending machines have been replaced by juice and beef jerky. "It's not perfect," says Jannison. But it's a cause worth fighting for, Even if she has to battle one chip at a time.

From paragraph 1, we learn that

A．most American school cafeterias are well functional.

B．more than half the schools have McDonald chains.

C．to change school food has been agreed by nearly everyone.

D．fast food restaurants are beneficial supplements to school cafeterias.

Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.

Beginning in October, more than 13000 McDonald's restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald's aims to make its French fries and other fried foods healthier.

The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald's says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.

McDonald's new step is important because McDonald's is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.

For McDonald's, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about obesity, which is also an increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy food to consumers.

After three years of study, McDonald's officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald's says the change will not cause higher coats for consumers.

Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fatty acids in foods at McDonald's and at other fast-food companies is still important.

The main idea of the text is______.

A．McDonald's is a pioneer in food products

B．McDonald's is enlarging its restaurants in the world

C．fried foods can't keep up with the development of modern society

D．McDonald's is to use new cooking oil

Text 1

In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They care fully chose a busy comer for their location. They had run their own business for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉 )restaurant, then another drive -in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.

Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks' sticking to their routine. Their new drive -in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The serf - service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.

Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake -mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers fast food restaurants and bought the right to franchise (特许经营other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches.

Today McDonald' s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen - cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald' s had over $1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty - two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modem American business history.

21. This passage mainly talks about ______.

A) the development of fast food services

B) how McDonald's became a billion- dollar business

C) the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonald

D) Ray Kroc’s business talent
