5.Not all great meals come from restaurants.Some are served from carts and stalls,and eaten on the go.So-called street food is not only delicious,but can be found in nearly every country,rich or poor,says Carla Diamanti,co-author of Street Food:Authentic Snacks from Around the World."It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place,"says the Italian writer,who has nibbled her way around the globe.She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us.
Naples,Italy
Pizza:Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food,but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples.The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers.If you're eating it on the go,you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio,literally wallet style."Our pizza is quick and simple,"she says.www.inaples.it
New York
Hot dogs:When foreigners first visit America,one of the first things many want to try is the country's typical snack food,the hot dog."It's like the flag of America-both inexpensive and democratic,"Diamanti says."You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall."212-484-1200; www.nycgo.com
Japan
Bento boxes:Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring.Bento boxes are filled with different dishes:often fish,meat,pickled vegetables,rice or tofu."It's really just a taste,"she says.While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays,they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212-757-5640; www.jnto.go.jp
Jamaa el Fna Square,Marrakech,Morocco
Food stalls:When the sun begins to set,this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing,dance and eat.Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat,chicken and rice."There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,"Diamanti says.212-221-1 583; www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/

Although many companies offer tuition repayment,most companies only repay employees for classes that are(41)Gto their position.This is a very limiting policy.A company that repays employees for all college credit courses-whether job related or not-offers a service not only to the employees,but to the entire company.
One good reason for giving employees (42)Ctuition repayment is that it shows the company's commitment to its employees.In today's economy,where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable,it is important for a company to(43)Kto its employees that it cares.The best way to do this is with concrete(44)Ain them.In turn,this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee (45)E.A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money (46)Fby having employees stay with the company longer.It will reduce employee turnover,because even employees who don't take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares (47)Bto pay for their education.Most importantly,the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees.Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their (48)D,more often than not,the employee will stay with the company.
And even if employees do leave after graduation,it generally takes several years to complete any degree program.Thus,even if the employee leaves upon graduating,throughout those years,the employer will have a more sophisticated,more intelligent,and therefore more valuable and productive employee.And,if the employee stays,that education will(49)Hbenefit the company:Not only is the employee more educated,but now that employee can be (50)Jso the company doesn't have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside.Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well.Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer's part,it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.
17.A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体排放) is to eat less meat.In fact,the study showed that meat consumption(食用量) in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050.
Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050.That's because the global population is expected to grow from the present 7billion to 9billion.But also,the diets of people in many developing countries are changing.Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption,especially red meat.
Dr.Eric Davidson,the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts,said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions.People in developed countries,he said,already eat much more protein than the daily requirement.
"In the developed world,there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat.If there is a growing need for meat,that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer(肥料) and production of more livestock manure(家畜粪肥),both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,"he said.
Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way."If we want to meet the greatest goal of making harmful climate change under control,we need to improve the efficiency(效能) with which we use fertilizers in agriculture.We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure.And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns(饮食方式).And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world,"he said.
Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today,he said climate change would continue."But that does not mean that we can do nothing for  it  now,because the sooner we start to take action,the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of being able to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation(退化),"he said.

28.According to the new study,eating less meat isD.
A.one of the best ways to keep healthy
B.an effective way to develop the economy
C.the best way to control greenhouse gas emissions
D.a good way to protect the environment
29.In paragraph 4,what does Dr.Eric Davidson mainly talked about?C
A.The harms of releasing various greenhouse gases
B.The side effects of producing fertilizers and manure
C.The effects of growing need for meat on the environment
D.The ways of managing the frequency of eating meat
30.The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers toB.
A.the environment
B.climate change
C.greenhouse gases
D.the lifestyle
31.In Dr.Eric Davidson's opinion,C.

B.our future generations will live more comfortably
C.a balanced diet is helpful in controlling climate change
D.it's completely possible to control greenhouse gas emissions.
14.Homeownership has let us down.For generations,Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good.Our political leaders hammered home the point.Franklin Roosevelt held that a country of homeowners was"unconquerable."Homeownership could even save babies,save children,save families and save America.A house with a lawn and a fence wasn't just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment; it was a way to transform a nation.No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than﹩100billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy.
But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent:Indeed,easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis.Housing remains a drag on the economy.Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the prior month,worsening fears of a double-dip.And all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped.The real story is deeper and darker still.
For the better part of a century,politics,industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house.Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades; it has provided stability to tens of millions of families.Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home,we have ignored the downsides.In the bubble years,lending standards slipped dramatically,allowing many Americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing.And we ignored longer-term phenomena too.Homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods.It fed America's overuse of energy and oil.It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another.Perhaps worst of all,it helped us become casually self-deceiving:By telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores,we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on.
Now,as the U.S.recovers from the biggest housing bust(破产)since the Great Depression,it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership are-and how much money we want to spend chasing them.Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs.

67.Political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses becauseD.
A.owning a home was undoubtedly good
B.homeownership was unconquerable
C.houses could save families and America
D.homeownership could shape a country

B.there might be another housing breakdown in the U.S.
C.the existing-home sales will keep decreasing in the U.S.
D.the result of homeownership is much worse than it appears
69.It can be inferred from Para.3thatC.
A.it is hard for Americans to get a home loan

15.Bekoji is a small town of farmers in the Ethiopian highlands.There,time almost stands still,and the number of horse drawn carts is much greater than that of motor vehicles.Yet,it has consistently produced many of the world's best distance runners.
It's appealing.When breathing the thin air of Bekoji,to focus on the special conditions of the place.The town sits on the side of a volcano nearly 10,000 feet above sea level,making daily life a kind of high altitude training.Children in this region often start running at an early age.Covering great distances to fetch water and firewood or to reach the nearest school.Their disproportionately (不成比例地) long legs is also advantageous for distance runners.

Most families in Bekoji live from hand to mouth and distance running offers the younger generation a way out.Bekoji's famous person Derartu Tulu,who won the 10,000-meter Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 2000,is a national hero.As a reward,the government gave her a house.She also won millions of dollars in the races.
Encouraged by such signs of success,thousands of kids from the villages surrounding Bekoji have moved into town.They crowd the classrooms at Bekoji Elementary School,where Eshetu works as a physical education instructor.All these kids share the same dream.Some day they could become another Derartu Tulu.
59.Which is NOT mentioned as something contributing to the excellence of distance runners in Ethiopia?D
A.Long distance running in daily life.

B.It's situated near a volcano.
C.It's has trouble handing car accidents.
D.It's home to several Derartu Tulus.
61.What is the goal of Bekoji's school kids?C
