7.A Dream Realized
Zhao Yang,33,an employee of a French company in Beijing,who has traveled extensively in the United States by motorbike.

I have been addicted to Harley-Davidson motorcycles since I was young,and knowing that motorcycle-related culture is very popular in the US,I decided to take a trip.Along with my wife and a group of fellow enthusiasts,I participated in a 15-day tour in October last year.We had one free day,so I headed to Las Vegas.
Before arriving in the US,I researched a range of materials about riding a motorbike there.I also found some classic recommended routes on Chinese websites related to Harley Davidson clubs.
With the help of their suggestions,I designed my own route.
In accordance with the rules,before I left China I visited a notary office (公證機(jī)關(guān)),where my driving license was confirmed as acceptable in the US and my documents were translated into English.Only then did I buy my basic motorcycle equipment.

When we arrived at Las Vegas,we rented a Harley Davidson and rode around the city.It was an exciting,unforgettable experience,because it was not only the achievement of a dream,but I also experienced the regional motorcycle culture in the US.As we parked the bike at the roadside,some drivers rolled down their car windows and gave us the thumbs-up,and when we drove on the road,car drivers pulled over to let us pass.We also visited a motorcycle-themed restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the fantastic decoration and delicious food.
I believe that traveling by motorcycle in the US will become popular because of the recent joint efforts to promote Sino-US tourism,especially after the two countries decided to name 2016as US-China Tourism Year.This new style of traveling will attract more young Chinese tourists,and people like me,who have a passion for freedom and adventure,will visit the US more frequently.For example,I am planning to travel along the famous highway called Route 66with friends during next year's Spring Festival.
If travel agencies and governments can promote the need for motorcyclists to obtain accurate information before they head to the US-such as the required documents,how to rent a motorbike and local traffic laws-"riding the range"will become a safe and great way to spend a vacation.

A.become a professional motorcyclist
B.travel in Harley-Davidson motorcycles
C.take a trip in the USA along with his wife

C.joined one of the Harley Davidson clubs and got suggestions
D.took lots of health examinations and bought some equipment
58.How did Zhao Yang feel when driving in Las Vegas?D
A.disturbed      B.disappointed    C.depressed    D.excited
59.Zhao Yang thinks that traveling by motorcycle in the US willA.
A.enjoy much popularity with Sino-US tourism

18.Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched.Do you?
A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act.Even images of eyes on a charity donation,collection box encourage people to be unselfish,because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.
Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin,the authors of a new study,found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour.Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded  into humans and people respond this way unconsciously,or without realising it.
It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched.A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish.When other fish are around,it is gentler.When no other fish are around,however,the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.
The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched.This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster.On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing,it appeared,to the person who was looking at the poster.Under the picture was the caption'I Want You'It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.
46.According to the report,why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?D
A.He does not want to be shamed by others.
B.He needs to show he is a good person.
C.He desires others to like him more.
D.He feels he will receive some social reward.
47.The underlined word'coded'(paragraph 3)is closest in meaning toB.
A.hidden     
B.programmed 
C.forgotten  
D.leaned
48.What is the text mainly about?A
A.It describes changed behaviour when observed.
B.It details ways to control people's behaviour.
C.It tells how to make people work harder.
D.It discusses different advertising methods.
49.According to the text,which of the following statements is true?C
A.People pretend to behave better when they are watched.
B.Fish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.
C.People donate more money when they feel they are watched.
D.Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.
50.Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?B
A.In a newspaper.
B.In a scientific journal.
C.In an advertising magazine.
D.In a science textbook.

There are two basic ways see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as a(n)Fresult or product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a promotion the students whose  grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
ByA-the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but rather the attitude and feelings people have,their caution or courage,as weInew experiences and unexpected obstacles.In this process,the journey never really ends.There are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.
In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have aEto take risks.And we are supposed to be ready to face theB,and to accept the possibility that we may"fail"at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.Do we perceive ourselves as quick an curious?If so,then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we'reJand shy?Then ourGof shyness can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we're slow to adapt to change to change or that we're not smart
enough to cope with a new challenge?If so,then we are likely to take a moreK role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.We willHto grow,if we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts,and if we protect ourselves too much.We becomeCinside a shell of our own making.

1.For most Americans queuing for 30minutes outside of Xi'an Famous Foods in Manhattan,New York,Xi'an is a remote,mysterious place in China.But that doesn't stop them from enjoying the Shaanxi provincial capital's fine foods-including signature dishes roujiamo,a lamb sandwich or burger,"cold skin"noodles (涼皮)and yangrou paomo,a lamb soup with pieces of bread in it.
So what is the store's secret to winning such high popularity?
Owner Jason Wang offers a hint based on his experience growing up in the US.Many Americans are looking not just for a particular type of food,he has noticed,but rather for authenticity (真實性).With a global food culture,Manhattan now is full of young people craving adventurous food experiences.They"hunt down authentic cuisine,whether it is Chinese,Mexican,American or Mediterranean",Wang told Forbes.
Chinese cuisine has long been part of the US culinary(烹飪的)landscape."The trend of trying authentic Chinese food started in New York a long time ago,"said Sam Sifton,restaurant critic of The New York Times.
Many Xi'an dishes are quite easy for Americans to love."The lamb sandwich may have‘a(chǎn)uthentic,local'taste for some Chinese,but it's also familiar to Americans as a form of hamburger,"Sifton said."We love the English-muffin-style bread and the loose,packable meat,spicy and rich."
Hagan Blount,a food critic from Las Vegas,thinks that it's the trend in general for Americans to explore different foreign cuisines.
"Everyone wants to have new and exciting experiences-one way to get that hunger for adventure satisfied is by exploring new cuisines,"he told China Daily."The more people know,the less they are afraid."

63.What is the author's purpose in writing the article?B
A.To promote Chinese food culture among Americans.
B.To explain why food from Xi'an has been well-received in Manhattan.
C.To analyze why Americans like to explore new cuisines.
D.To tell the story of how Jason Wang started Xi'an Famous Foods in Manhattan.
64.According to Jason Wang,many AmericansB.
A.know a lot about Chinese food culture
B.a(chǎn)ttach great importance to the authenticity of food
C.prefer Chinese cuisine to other foreign cuisines
D.think Chinese cuisine has influenced American cuisine a lot
65.The underlined word"craving"in Paragraph 3 probably meansD.
A.refusingB.reportingC.being afraid of           D.longing for
66.What can we conclude from the article?C
A.Chinese cuisine has a lot in common with American cuisine.
B.To attract local people,the lamb sandwich has been changed into a form of hamburger in America.
C.Those who love to explore different types of cuisines tend to be more adventurous.
D.Those who enjoy exploring different cuisines usually prefer to cook for themselves.
