Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food?Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners (路边小餐馆) for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first diner in 1872. It wasn t really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to e inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels. Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today. 56. A man named Walter Scott had the first diner in 1872. Why is diner in quotation marks (引号)?A. Because it is spelled differently from dinner. B. Because the first diner was not a real diner.C. Because diner was a new word. D. Because it is a special kind of restaurant.57. What meals did the first diners serve?A. Only breakfast. B. Only lunch. C. Only night-meals. D. All of the above.58. According to paragraph 3 , diners changed in _. A. two ways B. three ways C. four ways D. five ways 59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. diners existed before fast-food restaurants.B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant. D. Sandwiches became bigger.60. The main idea of the passage is_.A. the diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United StatesB. Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to e insideC. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many waysBJiang Nan, a full-time mother in Beijing, keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home, carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries. Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns, but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations, she explained.Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production, sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米), and retailers (零售商) are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers, no matter how thick they are.Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping. A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao, but its more about how bad they are for the environment, Jiang said.The plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities, and has been obviously effective in reducing white waste. On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing, an NGO environmental organization, shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone, saving more than 1.2 million tons of petrol. However, enforcement (实施) shows rather less muscle in smaller cities, towns and countryside. In a remote town like Lichuan, the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities. Street vendors (街头小贩) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags. Seeing no significance in the issue, local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag trade in the market.There are still those who dont have an interest in living green. Cui Lin, another Beijinger, often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping, and has to buy plastic bags. Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner, and I dont mind paying a couple more jiao, he shrugged. Mrs Yu, a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County, Jiangxi Province, recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s, Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market. Plastic bags are more convenient, she ments, and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags, paid or free. This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day.61. In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Jiang Nans case to _.A. introduce a topic B. tell a story C. describe a person D. offer an argument 62. How did Jiang Nan get her cloth bags? A. She bought them at a low price.B. She borrowed them from her relatives. C. She got them for free.D. She made them herself. 63. Which is NOT the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping? A. Cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry. B. Peoples awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough. C. People dont mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags. D. Street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them. 64. What does the underlined phrase “cling to” in the last paragraph mean? A. stop usingB. continue to useC. stay close toD. hold tightly65. What message does the writer mostly convey in the passage? A. To reduce white waste is urgent. B. The plastic bag ban has achieved great success. C. There is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban. D. Peoples awareness of environmental protection should be stressed.CChinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned(谴责) lack of morals in society after a toddler(学步的幼儿) was struck twice by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct.13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province. The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girls mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses. Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep a. The girls parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society. High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception (观念) of a decline of morals has bee a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting societys values. On Sept.2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans (模范人物) to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her. A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt (免除) Samaritans from liability(责任), yet laws themselves cannot solve societys mor
