Restaurants in the USA
Steve’s Pizza
So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami
Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York-style
pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients. New branches of Steve’s are opening elsewhere
in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.
Opening hours: 11am.-3am.
Cattleman’s Steakhouse
This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat
here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds
of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the
sunset either before or after your meal.
Opening hours: 5pm.-10pm.
Absolute Baking & Cafe
The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the
green chili on eggs--it’s made from scratch, as are the organic breads. Lunch includes salads, big
sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake.
Opening hours: 7am.-2pm.
Walt’s Wharf
Everybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on
weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s
worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or
upstairs in captain’s chairs.
Opening hours: 11am.-3:30pm.
21. A tourist arriving at midnight may go to __________.
A. Steve’s Pizza

China is famous for tea. Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world. It’s
said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. A few thousand
years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book
describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.
Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea.
They are green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and scented(有香味的)tea. Without fermentation(发酵),
green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking, it will be
black tea. Oolong tea is partially(部分地)fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea
during the processing, the scented tea will be made.
Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example, Anxi and Hangzhou are
widely known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are
ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later, the tea is packed and sent to
many different countries and places around China.
It’s believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In
England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took
place in the 19th century.Tea is good for people’s health and plays an important role in Chinese
social life.
29.Who discovered tea as a drink first according to the passage?
A.Shen Nong.
B.Lu Yu.
C.Hou Yi.
D.Yu Gong.
30. How many kinds of Chinese tea are there according to different processing ways in general?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
31. What does the underlined word “fragrant” mean?
A.悦耳的
B.难闻的
C.难看的
D.芳香的
D
Optimism (乐观) doesn’t mean paying no attention to things that cause stress. But when bad
things happen, optimistic people are less likely to be unhappy about themselves and more likely to
see the bad things as something that lasts a short time.
A new research has found a direct connection between optimism and healthier diet and
exercise behaviors, as well as better heart health, a stronger immune system (免疫系统), better
lung function, and lower death risk. “Optimistic people, whether they are male or female, often
have goals and the confidence to reach them,” Lee said. “Those goals could include healthy habits
that contribute to a longer life.”
Studies find only about 25% of our optimism is controlled by our genes, and the rest is up to
us. It turns out we can actually train our brain to be more positive. Researchers studied the brains
of monks (僧侣) and found surprising results: Tens of thousands of hours of deep thinking had
changed the function of their brains, which support positive qualities. And that may be key in
producing the effect on the body.
There are simple mental exercises to develop an optimistic attitude. One of the most effective
ways to increase optimism is called the “Best Possible Self” method. That is to imagine ourselves
in a future in which we have achieved all our life goals. And keeping a diary in which we list the
positive experiences we had can also help shape our attitude. Taking a few minutes each day to
write down what makes us thankful can improve our view on life, too.
32. What is the meaning of Lee’s words?
A. Goals can lead to confidence.
B. Better lung function lowers death risk.
C. Optimism is connected with length of life.
D. Sex should be taken into consideration when studying optimism.
33. Why are the brains of monks studied?
A. To lengthen their life.
B. To improve their brains’ function.
C. To prove optimism can be learned.
D. To show genes’ connection with optimism.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How to be a positive person.
B. How to make people thankful.
C. What to write about in a diary.
D. What to do to achieve the goals.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A science magazine.
B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A diary.

Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to
achieve happiness? 36 . The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my
life.

surrounded by people who think that way. 37 .

pity. Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a
little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.
38 . These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in
your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.
39 . Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few
extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a
better mood.
Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a
situation that would otherwise make you happy.
