　　Ⅲ.阅读理解
　　(A)
　　For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprises. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
　　The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
　　Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
　　Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
　　“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,”she explains.”They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say ‘What do you suggest?’So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, ‘Not very’, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value.”
　　Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn’t like it after all, she can always become a psychologist（心理医生） instead.

　　In the early part of the twentieth century, racism was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
　　Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as”heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate(代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

　　IS IT TIME TO GET MP3?
　　Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC (personal computer) if they’re in the MP3 format（格式).
　　What is it?
　　MP3 compresses(压缩) music into small computer friendly files. You access MP3 music several ways: Music can be downloaded from websites that have converted vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can prerecord CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer’s speakers,”burn”it onto blank CDs or exchange MP3 files with friends using e-mail.
　　How much?
　　Software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free. It comes preinstalled on most new computers or can be downloaded from many websites, including MP3. com. Some MP3 sites are free. Just type”MP3 sites”into any search engine. The popular MP3 players start at around $50 and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.
　　Advantages
　　MP3 turns your home PC into a tape recorder. Tiny MP3 players are the size of a card, making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.

　　Most people think their time problems are outer, and that they are caused by the telephone, meetings, visitors, and delayed information or decisions. Although these problems often have a bad effect on them, as when people call or drop in, we usually contribute to them. We fail to have calls screened by a skillful secretary or assistant, or we leave our door open, actually assuring constant interruptions.
　　In almost all cases, it is possible to influence, if not control, it usually can cause problems, such as, slowness and indecision, lack of self-discipline, the inability to delegate, or the tendency to fight fires, to act without thinking, and to jump from task to task without finishing any of them.
　　Time is constant that cannot be changed. The clock cannot be slowed down or speeded up. Thus we cannot manage time itself. We can only manage our activities with respect to time.
　　The same skills are needed as those used in managing others—the abilities to plan, organize, delegate(委托), direct, and control. Time management is simply self-management. It is impossible to be effective in any position without controlling one’s time effectively.
　　Successful time management does not mean working harder, but working smarter. All kinds of management skills must be used in the home and office to get most value from time. You must think ahead about what to do, and timely than others, making it get maximum results in the shortest possible period.

　　The World Health Organization(WHO) planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of people and the disease. Two doctors were chosen to make the study.
　　They flew to Africa, south of the Sahara, and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be called kwashiorkor. The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes colour and may break out in open sores(伤口). The hair changes colour and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time.
　　The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of these ages in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping breastfeeding(哺乳), give them starches(淀粉) instead of greatly needed proteins(蛋白质). They found the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor could save many lives.
　　The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease, which has been killing thousands of children for centuries, was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases. It was the WHO’s work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.
　　17. From the passage we know that kwashiorkor is a disease caused by ____.
　　A. poor living conditionsB. lack of proteins in food
　　C. breastfeedingD. lack of food
　　18. It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor because ____.
　　A. it has no sign at all
　　B. it is hard to see signs of it
　　C. it is hardly told from other diseases
　　D. it doesn’t last long enough for careful observation
　　19. What’s the best title for the article? ____.
　　A. A Case of Eating Habits
　　B. Kwashiorkor and Its Cause
　　C. Milk and Meat: Daily Necessities
　　D. A New Illness in Africa and Latin America
　　20. What’s the right progress of the disease? ____.
　　a. The sick child loses interest in food.
　　b. The patient’s hair becomes less and less.
　　c. The patient’s stomach is filled with liquid.
　　d. The patient’s skin and hair change colours.
　　e. The sick child hasn’t enough energy to stand.
　　A. c→b→d→a→eB. d→b→c→a→e
　　C. d→a→c→b→eD. c→d→b→a→e
