Xiao Jing, a Beijing girl took home a cup of iced tea for her father after having supper at McDonald’s. But when the father happily started to drink his daughter’s gift, he found that there was a filter tip (過濾嘴) inside it. Xiao Jing and her father got very angry.
This is not the first time that McDonald’s has let Chinese customers down. According to a CCTV program on World Consumer Rights Day(消費者權(quán)益保護日) on March 15, a McDonald’s restaurant in Beijing sold chicken wings 90 minutes after they were cooked. The company’s rules set a 30-minutes limit. What’s more, some workers changed desserts’ expiration dates (保質(zhì)期) or even put them into a new bag or box to sell them again.
McDonald’s China released a letter of apology on their official micro blog (微博) soon after the program. “McDonald’s China pays great attention to this. We will immediately look into this accident, deal with it seriously and take practical actions to apologize (道歉) to consumers. We’ll try our best to provide healthy and safe food,” the letter said.
We all need to learn how to fight for our rights and interests. Here are some tips:
1. Learn some of the differences between real and fake, fresh and overdue (過期的) products.
2. Get the invoices（發(fā)票）for all your goods and services.
3. If you find there’s a problem with your goods, call 12315 or go to your local Consumer Association (消費者協(xié)會) for help.
【小題1】Why did Xiao Jing and her father angry?

A．Because the drink was not fresh.
B．Because the drink was not clean.
C．Because the drink was not a full cup.
D．Because the drink was not what they ordered.

A．McDonald’s has made Chinese customers happy
B．McDonald’s has disappointed(使…失望) Chinese customers

D．Chinese customers think McDonald’s doesn’t provide good service
【小題3】What does the word “fake” mean in Chinese?

One morning, a blind* boy sat in front of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign* which said,“I am blind. Please help me. There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps* and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

    Special low prices on all clothes  
 
LIST PRICE標(biāo)價
SALE PRICE賣價
Shoes
$48
$32
Skirt
$180
$95
Coat
$420
$288
Trousers

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty* of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure*what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.
【小題1】On the sign what the man wrote was,“_______.”

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year that a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtimes. Their workers don’t get more money for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.

One of the most famous department stores in New York City is Macy's.There are over 850 Macy's stores all over the US, but the flagship store is in Herald Square,Manhattan---just around the corner from the Empire State Building.

In fact, Queen Elizabeth visited Fortnum's last year. Fortnum's is really famous for its hampers, which are baskets of food.

According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, we officially welcome the Year of the Horse better than others.
The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world. Horses were used for thousands of years as a means of transportation, a weapon of war and a plougher of fields(犁地農(nóng)具), but “the horse was more than just a vehicle – it had more character than a car, a tank or a tractor,” Clare Balding wrote for The Telegraph.
In the Middle Ages in Western societies, the horse was a symbol of chivalry (騎士精神) and nobility(貴族). In fact, the word “chivalry” comes from “cheval” in Old French, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to fashion the 19th-century “gentleman”, which was about good manners, courage and honesty to friends.
Nowadays, because of economic(經(jīng)濟) development, people in Western societies are less likely to see or ride horses. People living in cities, in particular, hardly ever experience horses except through movies, paintings or  books. But horse racing, and betting money on horse races, is still popular. The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular sporting events every year in the US.
In the UK, the royal police still go around the city on horseback and the Queen rides in a traditional horse-drawn carriage on “ceremonial occasions (正式場合)”.
Some sayings about horses are still used in English today. For example, people still say “hold your horses” to mean “slow down”. If someone seems too proud, people might tell him or her to “get off his or her high horse”. And since horses are strong and energetic, there are expressions such as “as strong as a horse”, “workhorse” and “horsing around”.
Interestingly, the horse also appears in many Chinese sayings, such as Qianlima, which means a talented person. Other Chinese horse sayings include Madaochenggong (instant success) and Baimawangzi (prince charming).
Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have “excellent memories”, according to Discovery News. Maybe that’s why Chinese people say, “An old horse never gets lost”.
Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to share them.

【小題1】 According to Chinese tradition, which year is welcomed best officially?

A．the Year of the SnakeB．the Year of the Tiger
C．the Year of the MouseD．the Year of the Horse
【小題2】According to the passage, which is NOT the role of the horse nowadays?
A．A weapon of war.
B．The royal police’s transportation to go around in the UK.
C．Race horses.
D．Animal actors in movies.
【小題3】 If a friend of yours is overconfident, what are you supposed to tell him or her?
A．Hold your horses.B．Get off your high horse.
C．Be as strong as a horseD．An old horse never gets lost
【小題4】 According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why people like horses?
A．The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world
B．The horse was a symbol of chivalry and nobility in the Middle Ages in Western societies.
C．Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have “excellent memories”.
D．Horses are only used as a means of transportation like a car, a tank or a tractor.
【小題5】 From the passage we know that ____________.
A．Economy develops a lot, so people in Western societies hardly see or ride horses nowadays.
B．The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular betting events every year in the US.
C．Qianlima in Chinese means a person who can run one thousand kilometers a day.
D．Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to be as strong as a horse.

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by "small talk". Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: "Nice day, isn't it?" "Terrible weather, isn't it?" But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small. talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't it?" At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?"
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
【小題1】The passage suggests that when we learn a language______.

A．we should know the culture about the country
B．we should only master the grammar and vocabulary
C．we should grasp the importance of the language
D．we should learn about the transport system of the country
【小題2】 When we say "Great game, isn't it?" we in fact______.
A．have a conversation B．begin a small talk
C．greet each other D．a(chǎn)sk a question
【小題3】 What we learn from the passage is that______.
A．in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather
B．different language has different grammar
C．small talk is an important part in a language
D．small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation
