When it comes to eating out, we can't help thinking of big meals in the restaurants, which usually contain much more fat and less fibers. Whether it is a business meeting over lunch or a fast food meal with the kids, eating out is a part of our lives. We eat out to save a lot of time, like grabbing a bite at fast food restaurants, or we take dining out as a favorite way to relax and socialize with friends.
Eating out can be fun but many people still like eating at home more because it is healthier. When my dear wife does not prepare foods for me, I would rather cook some instant noodles and eat at home! However, we go out to eat once in a while for holidays or on special occasions.
More and more people want to make healthy food choices nowadays. Some are watching calories, while others want to keep their cholesterol(胆固醇)under control or eat less fat. Plan ahead and choose wisely, you will find foods that fit into your meal plan and make eating out both healthy and enjoyable．
Here are some pointers（忠告） to remember that can help you make wise choices when eating out: go for balance, watch portion sizes and drink water or low-fat milk．Keep the ground rules of good nutrition in mind．Eat a variety of foods in moderate（适中的）amounts, limit the amount of fat you eat, and watch the amount of salt in food．If you develop the skills to make healthy choices now, your body will thank you later．
Eating out can be one of life's great pleasures．Make the right choices, ask for what you need, and balance your meals out with healthy meals at home．You can enjoy yourself and take good care of yourself at the same time．
【小题1】From the passage, we can infer that often eating out______________ ．

A．TomTom One 125-GPS Receiver
The TomTom One 125 isn’t the newest or flashiest portable navigation device on the market, but that’s OK. Not everyone needs the latest or greatest. What the One 125 offers is a solid, entry-level GPS for first time buyers or for those looking for the most basic navigation function.
Price: $98.00---$179.99
B. Garmin Nuvi 880
As we’ve come to expect from the Nuvi line, the Garmin Nuvi 880 offers an impressive feature list and solid performance, but it’s the accurate speech recognition that really pushes the Nuvi 880 over the gdge and makes it one of the best GPS we’ve tested to date.
Price :$599.95
C. NA1/4vi 200-270
Tis affordable entry-level personal travel assistant comes with preloaded maps for the continental U. S. Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. For even more mapping options, NA1/vi 250 features preloaded maps for all of North America, while the transatiantic NA1/4vi 270 includes preloaded maps for both continents.

F．Mio C520 Navigation Receiver
The sleek Mio C520 is a good‐value GPS devise, packing in advanced navigation features, a large screen, and other extras for an affordable price．It is even sleek enough that we’d use it as a video player．Our only complaint is that we think you can get a slightly better experience and smoother performance from competing systems．
Price: $ 349．99

     Every person leaves a footprint．That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank cards，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found．

    The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he used to live。It’s human nature to tell stories which is why neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to  have a holiday in Spain or in Italy, if he prefers two-or-three-star hotels and where he might hide his assets．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my research．

    Nine times out of 10，I find the people I'm looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed￡500，000 to a subcontractor(分包商)。The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was all done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation．

    However, I asked the son If I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain． 

    I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria, and I found him doing winter sport‘s in a beautiful mountain area．He was living in a big house on a  large piece of land he had bought for￡400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for．

68．We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who            ．

    A．follows people and reports on what they do

    B．helps people start business

    C．gives advice to people about the law   

    D．settles arguments between businesses or companies 

69．The underlined word “assets”(in paragraph 2)most probably means         ．

    A．houses           B．family             C．identity     D．possessions

70．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?

    A．The author visits the place where his subject used to live in order to find out why he is dishonest．

    B．It’s human nature to share some trouble with others

    C．The author usually tracks someone’s bank card first if he wants to find out where the man is staying．

    D．The lorry supplier moved his asset’s to his son in order to prevent paying back the money he owed．

71．We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might        

    A．bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son

    B．give up hope of settling the debt

    C．get his money back

    D．sell the big house in Bulgaria

第二部分 阅读理解
（共25小题；第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分，满分45分）
第一节 阅读下列短文。从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
After lunch,I walked back home. I was just to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but,as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.
The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter．It Can be nothing more than a penny．Whatever the coin is，no one ignores the sound of it．It got me thinking about sounds again．We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention．
People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine，a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street．When I’m in New York，I’m a New Yorker．I don’t turn either．Like the natives，I hardly hear a siren(警报)there．
However，at home in my little town in Connecticut，it’s different．The distant sound of a police car, all emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed．It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us．not the loudest．In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away thigh three closed doors．I’ve been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imaginnation turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house．How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?
I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are,I’ve turned against whistling，for instance：I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making unconscious noises．The tapping，tapping，tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me．I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it．
41．The sound of a coin dropping makes people________．
A．think of money    B．look at each other
C．pay attention to it    D．stop crossing the street
42．The author dislikes whistling because__________．
A．he has got tired of it    B．it reminds him of tense people
C．he used to be happier D．he doesn’t like workers
43. What kind of sound does the author find pleasant?
A．Tapping sound of his typewriter．    B．Clinking sound of keys．
C．Tinkling sound of a coin dropping．  D．Creaking sound of footsteps．
44．How does the author feel about sounds in general?
A．They make him feel al home．      B．He thinks they should be ignored．
C．He prefers silence to loud noises．   D．He believes they ale part of our life．
