In _40_ case, Thursday is not a busy evening.

The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. "The people there are about to _44_ ." he said, "Just hold on and you'll  _45 _a place there." He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people_46  the corner table paid their  _47_ , got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.

They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very _51_ with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table.

A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had _53_ for us.  54_ a little sorry he told us that there was  _55_ left. "All we can offer you" he said, "is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !"

British Summer Time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. In the depths of winter the nights in the UK are anything from 15-19 hours long. Longer nights mean frost and fog are more likely to form.
Twice a year the clocks change, forward in the spring and then back again in the autumn. But why? It happens twice a year. We all change our clocks and watches by one hour. In the spring, we add an hour, and go onto what is called British Summer Time, while in the autumn, we do the reverse, and return to Greenwich Mean Time.
Why bother?
It’s all to do with saving the hours of daylight, and was started by a guy called William Willett, a London builder, who lived in Petts Wood in Kent. Basically, he figured that you could improve the population’s health and happiness by putting forward the clocks by twenty minutes every Sunday in April and do the opposite in September.
Economics
His idea was not taken up, even though a “Daylight Saving Bill” was introduced some five years before the outbreak of World War One. But once the war started, it was considered wise to economics, to promote greater efficiency in using daylight hours, and in the use of artificial lighting. And so in 1916, “Daylight Saving Time” was introduced. Even though most countries abandoned this after that war, some eventually decided that it was a good idea, and most of these nations began to keep it throughout the year.
Experiment
Since 1972, Britain has decided to go with Greenwich Mean Time in winter, and British Summer Time in Summer.
But back in 1968, Britain tried a four-year experiment by advancing time one hour ahead of GMT throughout the year.
But those living further north, particularly in Scotland, found it most unsatisfactory, with dark mornings for much of the year, and the experiment was dropped.
But the arguments go on …and on.
小题1:Why some countries decide to change the clocks after World War One?
A．To improve the people’s health and happiness.
B．To do a certain experiment
C．To save energy to develop economies.
D．All of the above.
小题2:What can you infer from the passage?
A．The idea of changing the clocks suffered disagreement.
B．The people in Scotland don’t change the clocks.
C．The idea was first thought of by an educator.
D．It’s unnecessary to change the clocks.
小题3:What is the real meaning of the last sentence of the passage?
A．Nobody in the UK likes the idea.
B．All things need arguments.
C．The British are fond of arguments.
D．Different views of the idea still exist.

Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t
he spirit of generosity is  instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of
a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i
n the MileHigh City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows p
oor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as
waitersandwaitresses,anddishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment
for the cafe.It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owne
r Brad Birky, who started the caféin 2006. Previously volunteering at soup kitc
hens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served t
here. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where every-one felt co
mfortable,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunc
h menu changs daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farm
ers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And
the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 
2007,one volunteer who hadcleared snow for his meals during the long winter sai
d goodbye to the Birkys.He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hu
rricane clearing up,” says Birky. 
小题1:What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
A．They refused to have volunteers.
B．They offered low quality food.
C．They provided customers with a good environment.
D．They closed down because of poor management.
小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.
B．More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C．Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
D．The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.
小题3:The author’s attitude towards running such a café is_______
A．unfavorableB．doubtfulC．cautiousD．approving

Recipients（接受者）of this year's Annenberg scholarships were announced on June 19. Brittany Blythe was one of them.
In seventh grade，Brittany Blythe dreamed of being a cheerleader（啦啦队队员）. Her school’s coaches were less than enthusiastic. “They said. ‘I don't know how you’ll be able to do it’. ”she recalls. “‘You won’t be able to do it’.”
But Brittany，now a junior at Strath Haven High School near Philadelphia，refused to give up. And when the junior school cheerleaders won a tournament last year, she was right there，dancing and cheering with the rest of the team.
Not bad for someone whose legs were cut off below the knee when she was two years old.
Brittany,18,was born without shinbones(胫骨）—“just blood and muscle tissue，”as she puts it. When she tried to walk, her legs twisted.    
After the operation, she adapted quickly. “From day one，I basically jumped up and wanted to do everything,’’ she says. Prostheses(假肢)allowed her to move around upright. But too slowly to keep up with her friends. Brittany’s solution was to take the legs off and walk on her knees something she still does when safety and comfort permit.
She has been rarely discouraged. Other children laughed at her through the years，especially in junior high school，but she says the challenge only made her stronger. Now she’s trying to convince her coaches to let her remove the prostheses and be a flyer. The cheerleader who's thrown in the air and caught by her teammates.
Brittany doesn’t think her problems put her at a disadvantage. “My disability was the first thing I had to get through., and that’s going to prepare me for the future. ”she says. “It’s all just a test：If someone throws you a difficult problem，what are you going to do?”   
小题1: What was the coaches’ first attitude towards Brittany's dream?
A．SupportiveB．EnthusiasticC．OptimisticD．Doubtful
小题2: What was Brittany’s reaction after the operation?
A．She abandoned herself to self-pity.
B．She refused to use the prostheses.

小题3: What does Brittany want to achieve at the moment?
A．To stop others’laughing at her.
B．To prove her coaches wrong.
C．To remove her prostheses.
D．To be a flyer.
小题4: We can learn from the last paragraph that Brittany _________.
A．doesn’t think she is better than others
B．is not well prepared for the future
C．takes a positive attitude towards life
D．likes the challenge of learning new things
小题5:. What's the best title for the text?

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Farmers and gardeners have long used greenhouses to extend the growing season in cold weather. Now, hoop houses are gaining popularity. Some hoop houses are rounded; others are shaped more like a traditional house.
A hoop house is basically a metal frame covered with plastic or other all-weather material. A common design looks like a high tunnel. Unlike a greenhouse, which uses a heating system, a hoop house is heated by the warmth of the sun.
Now, the United States Department of Agriculture has announced a program to help farmers who want to build hoop houses. The department has been supporting a project in Michigan. That state has a short growing season. As part of the research project, nine farmers were given materials and trained how to build and use a hoop house. The results showed that well-managed hoop houses can grow high-quality crops.
However, crops are not the only things that grow well. The research found that weeds grow faster in a hoop house. Weeding (除草), seeding and watering requires at least as much work as crops grown in the open air. The researchers also advise growers to add compost（堆肥） material to the soil in hoop houses to build nutrients.
Eliot Coleman is an organic farmer and a writer in Maine who has helped popularize the idea of four-season farming. His ideas about hoop houses sounded good to John Biernbaum in the Horticulture（园艺）Department at Michigan State University.
Professor Biernbaum tried hoop houses on the Student Organic Farm at Michigan State and had success. Project director David Conner says it was a "test drive（试车）" for the research on private farms. The agricultural economist points to the demand for locally grown crops. "People are hungry for good, fresh vegetables," he says.
