Since World War II, as more women have assumed jobs outside the home, eating out has become a part of the lifestyle of people in the U. S. and elsewhere. With one hour as the average time allowed for lunch, if a worker does not bring food from home, a fast-food restaurant becomes the worker's choice. As a result of this expanding trend, many fast-food restaurant chains have developed, and the competition among them is keen. McDonald's is one of the world's most renowned chains—it is the one with the huge golden arch as its symbol. No matter where a McDonald's may be located, it is a home away from home for Americans and many people in other countries. At any outlet, they know how to behave, what to expect, and what to eat. The food is standard with only minor regional variations. Most menus, however, from one place to another, offer the same items. The prices are also the same and the menu is usually located in the same place in every restaurant. Utterances across each spotless counter are standardized. Not only are customers limited in what they can choose but also in what they can say. Each item on the menu has its appropriate McDonald's designation: "Quarter Pounder with Cheese" or "Filet-O-Fish" or "Fries." The customer who asks, "What's a Big Mac?" is as out of place as a Buddhist at a Roman Catholic church.
16. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A)The development of fast-food restaurants. (B)The uniformity of services at McDonald's.
(C)The difference between McDonald's and other fast-food chains. (D)The description of golden arch as the symbol of McDonald's. 17. What does the word keen in the first paragraph mean?
(A)Fair (B)Domestic (C)Intense (D)Reduced 18. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A)Location was the only reason for McDonald's to be popular. (B)McDonald's was first developed at the turn of the 21st century. (C)People don't like to eat at McDonald's while traveling to other places. (D)Items on a McDonald's menu can be easily named by customers.

All cultures have their own set of ideal standards for appropriate communication. The process of communicating across cultures can be short-circuited when at least one party assumes that its communication standards are universally understood. Even when the cross-cultural communication takes place using the same language, there are a number of parameters that can lead to misunderstanding or even a breakdown in the dialogue. For example, is the speaker the appropriate person to deliver the message? Is the addressee the appropriate person to receive the message? Is the content of the message mutually
understood by both parties? Is the location of the communication appropriate for the message? In a world in which business becomes increasingly global, in order to succeed in global business, it is necessary to study both the language and the culture of those with whom one is conducting business. As language and culture are closely related, it is
virtually impossible not to learn about one while studying the other.
19. Which of the following statements is TRUE? (A)Culture does not influence the use of language. (B)Communication standards are culturally universal.
(C)Standards for appropriate communication are culturally constrained
(D)Miscommunication will not happen if conversation partners speak the same language.
20. What does the word virtually in this passage means?
(A)Morally (B)Skillfully (C)Unrealistically (D)Basically 21. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as a
factor that influences communication appropriateness? (A)The sender of the message.
(B)The setting where the message takes place. (C)The topic of the message.

Anita Cooper was recently elected president of a charitable organization that serves her local hospital. One of her duties is to find and train volunteers who will work as nurses' aides. In many hospitals, these volunteers are called "candy stripers" because their red and white uniforms resemble candy canes. Several weeks after taking office, Anita discovered that the candy striper program was a mess. In order to straighten things out, she would have to spend a lot more time at the hospital than she originally thought.

The word chemistry comes from the word alchemy, a practice of changing ordinary metals into gold. Alchemy arouse independently in many regions of the world. It was practiced in China and India as early as 400 B. C. In the eighth century, Arabs brought alchemy to Spain, and from there it spread quickly to other parts of Europe. The main concern of alchemists, people believe, was to find a way to change other metals, such as lead, into gold. Although alchemists did not succeed with this quest, the work they did spurred the development of chemistry. Alchemists developed the tools and techniques for working with chemicals. For example, alchemists developed processes for separating mixtures and purifying chemicals. They designed equipment that is still used today, including beakers, flasks, and the mortar and pestle. What they did not do was to provide a logical set of explanations for the changes in matter that they observed. By the 1500s in Europe, there was a shift from alchemy to science. Science flourished in Britain in the 1600s, partly because King Charles II was a supporter of the sciences. With his permission, some scientists formed the Royal Society of London, aiming to encourage scientists to base their conclusions about the natural world on experimental evidence, not on philosophical debates.
In France, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier did work in the late 1700s that would revolutionize the science of chemistry. Lavoisier helped to transform chemistry from a science of observation to the science of measurement that it is today. To make careful measurements, Lavoisier designed a balance that could measure mass to the nearest 0.0005 gram. Lavoisier also settled a long-standing debate about how materials burn. The accepted explanation then was that materials burn because they contain phlogiston, an element which is released into the air as a material burns. To support this explanation, scientists had to ignore the evidence that metals can gain mass as they burn. By the time Lavoisier did his experiments, he knew that there were two main gases in air—oxygen and nitrogen. Lavoisier was able to show that oxygen is required for a material to burn.
26. What was the main concern of alchemists according to the passage? (A)To burn metals quickly. (B)To purify gold effectively. (C)To invent a metal detector. (D)To turn other metals into gold.
27. How did alchemists help to develop modern chemistry? (A)They devised tools used for chemical experiments. (B)They formed societies to conduct experiments together. (C)They settled the debate on how to do chemical experiments. (D)They emphasized the importance of experimental evidence. 28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A)A shift from alchemy to science existed in Europe by the 1500s. (B)Chemistry saw a great improvement in France in the 1600s. (C)Science in Britain flourished in the late 1700s.
(D)Alchemy started as early as 400 B.C. in Spain. 29. What was Lavoisier's contribution to modern chemistry?
(A)He explained that phlogiston causes material to burn.
(B)He designed a way to measure mass more accurately and precisely. (C)He proved that there are two main gases required for matters to burn.
(D)He changed chemistry from a science of measurement to a science of observation. 30. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A)To compare alchemy with chemistry. (B)To discuss the development of chemistry. (C)To explain the origin of the word "chemistry." (D)To introduce an experimental approach to chemistry.

Everyone has his wish. I am no exception. One of my wishes is to help disabled people. The disabled are people who usually cannot use a part of their body properly. So they often need others to help them. In our daily life we often see some disabled people in our neighborhood. Some people don't help them, or even despise them. We should not do that. Instead, we should do our best to help them.
However, as a student, I cannot devote myself to helping them all the time. Therefore, I have made up my mind to become a teacher for special education. Before I realize my wish, I have to study hard in order that I can be admitted to a normal college where I can major in special education.
When I graduate from college, I wish to be appointed a teacher in a school for special education. Then I can take care of the disabled students in my class. I will spend all my time to educate them and help them grow.
