This is New Yorkstyle pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成份). New branches of Steves are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas. Opening hours: 11am-3am Cattlemans Steakhouse This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where youll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal. Opening hours: 5pm-10pm Absolute Baking & CafThe screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs-its made from scratch, as are the organic(有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Dont miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake. Opening hours: 7am-2pm Walts Wharf Everybodys favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walts packs them in on weekends. You cant make reservations for dinner (though theyre accepted for lunch), but its worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captains chairs.Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm36.The new branches of Steves Pizza are mainly intended forA. New Yorkers B.tourists C.the localsD. foreigners37.Cattlemans Steakhouse offers the wonderful _as well as good food.

Cattlemans Steakhouse.B Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee. In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries. Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy( 书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them. But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.39. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. Its open to people of all ages and all walks.B. Its the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.40. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people dont refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people neednt write by hand as often with the help of technology. 41.According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students 42.Where does this text probably come from? A. News report. B. A science report. C. An advertisement. D. Childrens literature. CA nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (水坑) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldnt possibly imagine how this had happened. It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out, especially Jack, he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, especially Martha and Jackie, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived. He prayed this prayer, “Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now Im dead meat!” He looked up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered. As the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water. Susie lost her balance in front of the teacher and dumped (倒) the bowl of water in the boys lap. The boy pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to himself, “Thank you, Lord!”Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule (嘲笑), the boy was the object of sympathy (同情). The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. Martha even gave him her own candy. The sympathy was wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been turned to someone elseSusie. She tried to help, but they told her to get out.When school was over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered, “You did that on purpose, didnt you?” Susie whispered back, “I wet my trousers once, too!”43.
