16．Free Fun Guides
Free Admission toHundreds of Museums Sept.25
What a weekend!This Saturday，Sept.25，hundreds of U．S．museums are admission free for the Smithsonian's annual Museum Day．
Unlike previous Museum Day celebrations，you must sign up for a free ticket that admits two people to any of the participating museums．That means filling out a form and having the ticket emailed to you．Not bad for a freebie that will give you admission to museums such as the Adler Planetarium in Chicago and the Air & Space Museum in San Diego．
Free Admission to National Parks & Public Lands
Would you rather visit a National Park for free instead of a museum for free？The choice is yours on Saturday，Sept.25，as all 392 National Parks and all other national public lands are admission free for National Public Lands Day．It falls on the same day as the Smithsonian Museum Day，when hundreds of U．S．museums are also admission free．
If you love the outdoors，consider signing up or just show up for one of the volunteer projects at the public lands sites on Saturday．Spend the morning helping clean up and restore our national natural treasures，and then spend the afternoon just enjoying and exploring them．

7．首先請(qǐng)閱讀下列高中學(xué)生在畢業(yè)前夕所寫的贈(zèng)與同窗的賀卡．

A
Hold Fast to Your Dreams
With your heart
Keep one still，secret spot
Where dreams may go
And shelter it
May thrive and grow
Where doubt and fear are not
So keep a place apart
Within your heart
For little dreams to go		B
Many People Will Walk in and out of Your Life
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
Friends，you and me
You brought another friend
And then there were three．
We started our group
Our circle of friends
And like that circle
There is no beginning or end．
C
As You Grow Older
You will discover you have two hands，
One for helping yourself
The other for helping others
The beauty of a girl
Is not in the clothes she wears．
The figure that she carries，
Or the way she combs her hair
The beauty of a girl must be seen from in her eyes
Because that is the doorway to her heart．		D
Be Thankful When You don't Know Something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn
Be thankful for the difficult times
During those times you grow
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you oppotunuty for improvement
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons．
E
Time，Such a Precious Word
It gives us the gift of moments．
Moments are so beautiful
That can never be recaptured
We are left with footprints in our minds
Only be grateful that it happened
So cherish every moment
Live life to the fullest
Because you never know
When your time will pass with the wind		F
If You Are Honest
People will trust you it is important for person
To have a reputation for being honest
If a person is dishonest
No one will want to be his friend
And will soon become an outcast
On the other hand
An honest man wins the respect of others
Honesty is indeed the best policy．
請(qǐng)根據(jù)對(duì)以下五個(gè)人的描述，選擇適合贈(zèng)送給他們的賀卡．

7．Welcome to Vanak Restaurant
When first entered，Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant，but once the pleasant smells of kabob（烤肉串）hit the senses，you are incapable of calling it anything less．
Owned by a local couple，this Persian restaurant has an inviting，homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack．
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration，but the environment is truly charming．
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner，the restaurant still attracts all customers，especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking．
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics，watching news events on TV，drinking a black tea known as Persian chai，an reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food．
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited，but the amount of each dish is fairly large．Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10，so not only is it affordable but practical as well．
The food，especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy，made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill （烤肉架）．
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs，which are different style of grilled meat．One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob，which is made of grille chicken pieces served with either rice or bread．Another great kabob is the Cbelo Kabob，kabob consisting of grilled beef．
Although the restaurant is small，the atmosphere and the food is delicious．It is a place that should not be overlooked．

36．When first entering the restaurant，one can find that itB．
A．is splendidly decorated
B．has pleasant smells of kabobs
C．is crowded with dining tables
D．looks like a common restaurant
37．What activity is also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurantA？
A．Watching news events on TV．
B．Drinking a kind of black coffee．
C．Reading local English newspapers．
D．Discussing world topics in low voices．
38．The food of the restaurantD．
A．is served in small amounts  
B．is rather expensive
C．is rich in variety   
D．is very healthy
39．What is the dish Joojeh Kabob mainly made ofB？
A．Rice 
B．Chicken      
C．Bread      
D．Beef
40．It can be inferred from the passage that the restaurantC．
A．occupies a large space  
B．owns a favorable location
C．is popular for its special food  
D．has a quiet environment inside．

11．The latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer． All the stores are selling them； everyone wants one． Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However，that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods． In case you're thinking of buying a steamer，I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．
●Folding Steamer
The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel （不銹鋼）version．
Advantages：This is a good，basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it； a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．
Disadvantages：It only holds small dishes． Also，if you put too much water in the pan，it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery． If you put too little water in and let it get dry，you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．
●Steaming Pan
This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers，which sits on the oven ring． The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．
Advantages：This is an excellent steamer，lightweight，easy to clean，and of all the steamers I've tried，this cooks the fastest． Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top． It's easier to store．
Disadvantages：Water can boil away until the pan is dry，but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food，this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top． It doesn't supply a dish for cooking rice．
For serious users of steamers，I recommend having one of each version． If you just want to try it，get the folding stainless-steel type．

56．Why did the author carry out the survey？A
A．To inform people of different steamers
B．To run an advertisement for steamers
C．To find out a suitable steamer to buy
D．To learn how to cook with steamers
57．What can we learn about the folding steamer？D
A．It comes in different kinds of shapes and sizes．
B．It is designed for large families．
C．It is able to clean itself．
D．It is easy to take out．
58． The Nutritious Liuing steamerC．
A． is more difficult to store
B． provides a dish to cook rice with
C． cooks different foods at the same time
D． cooks fish and chicken faster than vegetables
59．According to the author，you shouldD．
A． use steamers to save cooking time
B． buy a steamer with dishes supplied
C． do a survey before choosing a steamer
D． buy a folding steamer if you want to try．
