6．Let's face it--there are lots of reasons to hate McDonald's：calories，cholesterol and，for me at least，that sickening feeling after munching （大口咀嚼） on McNuggets．Then there's always that childish salesman at the drive-through（免下車通道） who forgets the ketchup．
Well，add one more reason to spite McDonald's：as the global economy spirals downward，McDonald's is minting money．"In the worst of times for the restaurant industry，it's the best of times for McDonald's，"says Butt Flickinger III，managing director of the Strategic Resources Group，a retail-consulting company．In fact，the company's sales have increased for 55 straight months．Profits grew 11% to $1.2 billion．
The pricing of McDonald's，highlighted by dollar-menu items like apple pies，side salads and yogurt，plus cheap combo meals is a key strength during the recession．In particular，consumers are fleeing casual，family chain restaurants for the convenience and savings of fast food．
The economy is not the only reason people are drawn to McDonald's．The company's management also deserves credit for its success．Back seven years ago，America's obesity was a hot topic，and McDonald's suffered from the strong negative reaction．Changeless food and shabby stores also kept people away．"McDonald's was actively persuading customers from coming back，"says John Glass，a Morgan Stanley analyst．
Since that time，McDonald's have remodeled 11，000 stores．At a neat and clean restaurant in the Bronx one weekday evening，Brian Waters，a mailman，sat with his 9-year-old son in a booth．The bright dining area featured abstract paintings of New York City's bridges and the Statue of Liberty．"It used to be dark and dull in here，"Waters says．"Now it's nice and clean．I don't mind sitting here anymore．"Stores have also extended hours：34% of the company's 14，000 U．S．restaurants are now open 24/7．
The menu got an upgrade too．Obscene"super-size"choices were phased out，and healthier options like apples and salads were added．The company changed its coffee blend； coffee sales have soared 70% over the past two years．Chicken McNuggets now consist solely of white meat，which has less fat and fewer calories than the darker-meat mix of old．
Like any other business in this environment，McDonald's faces some potential roadblocks．As the recession wears on，fast-food-service growth may flatten out；plus，McDonald's can expect more price competition．For example，Steak‘n Shake，the diner-style burger chain in 21 states throughout the Midwest and South，is promoting four different meal combos for less than $4．"In Los Angeles，every other billboard is a 99-cent food price，"says Glass．The battle for bargain-hunting eaters is on．But given its recent winning ways，McDonald's might just add a few more billion consumers．

24．One of the reasons why the author hates McDonald's is thatD
A．there are always kids messing around in the restaurant．
B．The salesclerk always forget to clean up the drive-through
C．Children always leave the ketchup at the drive-through
D．Some salesclerk always forgets to give him the ketchup
25．What is the key for McDonald's success even during the global economic downturnA
A．Its pricing policy．
B．Its managing policy
C．Its dollar-menu items
D．Its cheap combo meals
26．What happened to McDonald's seven years ago，according to John Glass？C
A．It suggested that fast food not be abused．
B．It persuaded customers to eat elsewhere
C．The size of its customers was shrinking
D．Customers had more expectation on it
27．When the battle for bargain-hunting eaters is on，the author expects that McDonald's will most probablyD
A．Increase its management expenses
B．Open more chain restaurants
C．Have to cut its prices sharply
D．Gain more customers．

7．Brain activity may continue for more than 10 minutes after the body appears to have died，according to a new study．
Researchers had previously thought that brain activity ends before or shortly after the heart stops beating．But a team of doctors affiliated with the University of Western Ontario in Canada has documented a case in which a patient continued to experience brain wave activity for about 10minutes after he had been announced clinically dead （or brain dead）．
The unusual circumstance came about as the team in Canada was conducting routine research regarding the process of death in humans．As four terminal patients were removed from life support，their vital signs（生命體征） were monitored for a length of time．Three of the patients stopped sending brain signals almost immediately after their hearts stopped，but the fourth instead began producing signals that are normally seen in a person that is in a very deep sleep-delta waves-and continued to do so for 10minutes and 38seconds．
In the case，doctors confirmed their patient was dead through a range of the normal observations，including the absence of a pulse（脈搏） and unreactive pupils（瞳孔）．They also conducted a series of tests to make sure all of the equipment was working fine．After finding no problems，they reported that they had no explanation for what they had observed．
Scientists not involved with the research are cautious to draw any sort of conclusions since the phenomenon only occurred in one of four test patients．
What happens to the body and mind after death remains almost entirely mysterious to scientists．Two other studies last year，for instance，showed that genes appeared to continue functioning-and even function more energetically-in the days after people die．
What?s really going on？That?s the rational question following this latest brain activity study．

32．Previously，brain activity was thought toA．
A．end as the heart stops．
B．last much longer than heart beat．
C．stop in a very deep sleep．
D．prevent genes functioning．
33．What was special about the fourth patient after death？B
A．His pupils made no reaction．
B．His brain waves were monitored．
C．He had no pulse already．
D．His life support wasn?t removed．
34．What?s the scientists?attitude towards this observation？C
A．Negative．B．Positive．C．Careful．D．Uninterested．
35．Why does the writer mention the other two studies done last year？D
A．To express dissatisfaction with the scientists?work．
B．To encourage scientists to do more brain studies．
C．To invite the readers to give more such examples．
D．To show brain activity after death remains a mystery．

Dear editor，
Recently students of our school have made the survey of"Views on Newspapers"．The people interviewed held two different opinions.45% of them enjoy reading newspapers．First of all，as a convenient source of information，reading newspapers is not limited by time．Additional，reading also makes people to think，which helps develop people's intelligence．Moreover，people can read whatever section they are interested．
However，55% of the people don't turn to newspapers for many information．They hold the idea that newspapers don't catch people eye because they lack the sound and video what make other sources of information more exciting．What's more，readers receive information from newspapers late than from the internet and TV．
Personally，people can make use of whatever means to gather information as long as it's convenient for us．
Yours，
Li Hua．
