Passage 3
Everybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.
The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.
Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.
Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.

Ⅳ Cloze
Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.
One of the things I always believed is that no matter how bad something is, you can 56 something valuable out of it. The 57 I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I hear older people 58 about the attack on Pearl Harbor(珍珠港) and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 59 them in their lives. For my 60, the tragedy（悲剧）of September11can be 61 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 62 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.
It wasn’t until a few weeks 63 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem 64 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother（麻烦的事）before are no longer a 65 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short, and 66, to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints（抱怨） and 67 I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “ 68 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say that for sure. 69 change in the blink（眨眼）of an eye. People go to 70 and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 71 minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 72 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 73 know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make 74 of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just 75.
56. A. grasp B. catch C. bring D. take
57. A. thing B. time C. event D. place
58. A .think B. know C. talk D. learn
59. A. affected B. taught C. disappointed D. improved
60. A. opinion B. people C. generation D. children
61. A .connected B. followed C. compared D. mixed
62. A. in B.on C. for D. to
63. A. after B. before C. when D. that
64. A. happy B. sad C.
