“Clean your plate!” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal(呼吁): “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa.” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of “cleaning the plate’, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(胃口,食欲). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion(一分,份额) sizes began (or grew) in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰围) began to expand.
Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.
It’s not that working-class Americans don’t want to eat healthily. It’s just that, “after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.”
1.Parents in the United States tend to ask their children _______.
A. not to save food
B. to wash the dishes
C. not to eat too much
D. not to waste food
2.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?
A. Because Americans associate quantity with value.
B. Because Americans have big bellies.
C. Because Americans are good eaters.
D. Because Americans are greedy.
3.Which of the following is NOT true of working-class Americans?
A. They work long hours.
B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.
C. They don’t want to be healthy eaters.
D. They want to save money for their children.
4.What happened in the 1970s?
A. The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.
B. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.
C. The United Stated produced more grain than needed.
D. The American waistline started to expand.

In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it doesn't actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated(复杂的) machinery. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.
Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what degree does more money lead to great productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
1.According to the author, what advantage do varied jobs bring?
A. They increase productivity enormously.
B. They reduce boredom among workers.
C. They bring out the best in workers.
D. They relieve workers' difficulties.
2.What can we clearly see from the passage?
A. It’s practical to allow more freedom in a modern factory.
B. It's necessary to have a large number of workers.
C. It's important to raise workers’ sense of contribution.
D. It’s difficult to have more production lines.
3.The passage seems to suggest that ________.
A. more money leads to demands for shorter working hours
B. more money does not automatically create higher productivity
C. workers like more money better than more interesting jobs
D. workers expect to have both more money and more interesting jobs
4.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to enrich workers'1ife.
B. How to make workers more productive.
C. How to shorten working hours.
D. How to decrease dullness in a factory.

There are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a "habit".1.How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you ve done it in a certain way for so long? It's not very easy to do. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things.2.it's a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a boring task.
Let's pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading a book. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it.3.Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.
Imprint it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.
After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, "Hey, I forgot to..." Keep using the notes if you have to.4.Some people say it will take over a month to solidify it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine.5.
A. What is a "habit" anyway?
B. Forming a bad habit is easy.
C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.
D. Is doing things in an old way good?
E. If you don't, you will find a way to do everything but that.
F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.
G. that's something you won't necessarily have to think about before you do it—habit.
