A
American Newspapers
No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA．There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain．The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world．Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country．However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper．The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers vary from the “sensational”（耸人听闻的）, which feature crime, sex, and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events．But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try and attract readers of all political persuasions （信念）．A few newspapers support extremist groups on the fair right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate （中立的）．Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandal or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair．The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.
56．There are fewer national newspapers in ____.
A．Britain than in the USA B．France than in Britain
C．the USA than in Britain or France D．France than in the USA or Britain
57．Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because ______.
A．they have to keep up a good relation with them
B．they have to compete with television
C．they have to write about crime, sex and gossip
D．they have to give factual news in an interesting way
58．Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference by ____.
A．supporting extremist groups from time to time
B．inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them
C．avoiding carrying articles about extremists
D．printing articles representing different political viewpoints
59．The passage is mainly about _____.
A．the characteristics of American newspapers
B．the development of American newspapers
C．the function of American newspapers
D．the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers
B
In 1930 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California．They carefully chose a busy corner for their location．They had run their businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in, but in their new operation they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers and sodas．To this minimal 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 cook’s 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 self-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 1945, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines．He quickly saw the great attraction of the brothers’ fast-food restaurant, and bought the right to franchise （给…以特许） other copies of their restaurants．The agreement struck included the right to copy the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches （拱门）．
Today McDonald’s is literally a household name．Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburgers 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 modern American history.
60．The popularity that McDonald’s enjoys is largely due to ______.
A．the good location near a business center B．quick service and low cost
C．a new shortened menu D．a strict routine for preparing food
61．Mac and Dick McDonald had experience in managing all of the following business except _____.
A．a barbecue restaurant B．a drive-in restaurant
C．an ice-cream parlor （营业室） D．a theater
62．It can be inferred from the passage that before the two brothers met Ray Kroc ___.
A．their business was confirmed in one area and the profit was comparatively small
B．they didn’t have machines to mix milk
C．their restaurants served only lunch
D．their business had been expanded all over the country
63．The passage suggests that _____.
A．creativity is an important element of success
B．Ray Kroc spent long hours working in the first McDonald’s
C．Sixty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurants
D．California is the best place to get into business
C
“It was all his own idea”, says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39．Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract ” ------ a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores （杂务）．Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident．（He thought the experience would make a nice book.）
After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up．“I was beaten down, completely humbled （感到挫败）”, admits Peters．Three weeks later he spoke to the local press （also part of the agreement）, stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”
