This is shown in menus offering“low calorie (卡路里)” or“weight watchers” meals. In markets, one can find“No Cal” drinks(meaning without calories) such as cola. Many Americans drink coffee or tea with their meal. If a waiter in an American restaurant asks“Now or later?”, what he means is“Do you want coffee with your meal or later?” When eating out in the USA, we can ask for tea, milk, beer,and so on, if we prefer these to coffee. American restaurants cannot serve beer, wine, or liquor unless they are licensed to do so. The main dish in American meals is usually meat, chicken or fish, but more than one of these is hardly served at the same meal. Most Americans eat quickly during the day—— that is, breakfast and lunch—— unless it is a social, business, or family situation. The evening meal, however, is usually a family time. Racing through daytime meals is part of the“American pace” of life, for working hours are considered important. The nationwide fast-food restaurants are suitable for the ways of American eating. The standard(标准的) products, of nearly the same price, are served quickly, and taste the same whether bought in New York City or in Los Angeles.McDonald’ si s a popular restaurant.

The good news is that this year will be longer than the previous!Although don't get excited just yet, because if you blink (眨眼), you may just miss it. That's because 2015 will be one second longer than 2014 — also known as a leap second(闰秒). And surprisingly, they are pretty common. But why do we need them? Over the centuries, Earth has been slowing down. This means that we must keep changing our clocks to keep in step with Earth’ s time. We’ ve all heard of leap years. Our calendars hold 365 days in a year. Yet Earth takes slightly longer to orbit the sun. So we save this time and every 4 years we have an extra day in February. As for the leap seconds, the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) manages the global time, known as the atomic time(原子钟时间). This is the timekeeping that's used for every single country. To keep up with Earth's time, they add a second every now and then. They' ve been doing this since 1972. And this year will be the 26th second they' ve added! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 It’ ll be added just before 8:00 a. m. on July 1 Beijing time. So you will see 7:59:60 on July 1. Although adding a second sounds harmless, it can have negative effects. In 2012 when a leap second was added, it caused problems for companies like social networking sites Reddit and LinkedIn. As they weren't prepared for the change, it caused their computers to record errors. 1. Why does a leap second have to be added in some years? A. Because this year is shorter than the previous one.

December 3. In order to keep up with Earth's time, how many seconds have been added until last year? A. 43 B. 42 C. 26 D. 25 4. What's the negative effect of adding a leap second? A. It makes the day longer than the previous one. B. It causes some recording errors for companies. C. It makes people stay up late. D. It doesharm to people's health. D 16、 While Westerners were getting used to paying with credit cards (信用卡) or bank cards at the very beginning of the21st century, most Chinese people still liked to pay in cash(paper money) out of habit. However, today, Chinese people may be leading the world in mobile payment, mainly WeChat Pay and Alipay. Foreigners feel amazed when Chinese people buy everything with their phones. At least, this was the case for LimSwee Say, Manpower Minister of Singapore. When Lim was waiting in line to buy some snacks at a street stall(货摊) in Shanghai, he saw other customers show their phones and take the food without giving over any cash. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using mobile payment. " Singapore is actually backward (落后) ", said Lim The popularity of mobile payment in China has pushed many foreign countries and agencies to accept them. And several reasons might make this mobile payment spread in the whole world. • Quite a few Western mobile payment services require businessmen to install (安装) expensive machines before customers can use them.

And the mobile payment has helped people save the trouble of taking wallets with them. It's not only safer, more convenient, but also environmentally friendly. ●Most shops in China, from a tiny shop in villages to a huge shopping center in big cities, all offer the service of mobile payment. And by the end of last year, Hangzhou Public Transportation System installed the mobile payment machine on 8,000 downtown buses. • With Chinese travelers throughout the world, it's now common to see the familiar green or blue QR codes in tourist sights around the world. 1.

Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Can science help?Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists(心理学 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 家) are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind. Consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, but in fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brain's emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist,Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice, which we use to help the present decision-making. However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take anger, for example. Astudy by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking. All emotions affect our thinking and motivation(动机), so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world. 1. According to the text, what may help us make better decisions? A. To think about happy times. B. To make many decisions at a time. C. To stop feeling regretful about the past. D. To learn about the process of decision-making. 2. What does the underlined word“central” mean? A.中心的 B.中央的 C.起决定作用的 D.后悔的 3. Damasia's study suggests that . A. emotions are the enemy of decision making. B. our brain has nothing to do with decision making. C. people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds. D. our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions. 4. Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered? A. They often forget their past choices. B. They make decisions without much thinking. C. They tend to save time when shopping. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D. They are too angry to bargain. 5. What do we learn from the text? A. Emotions are a part of decision-making. B. Sad people always make worse choices. C. No emotion seems to help us make good choices. D. Only sad feeling affect our thinking and motivation.
