10、题数：1，分数：10.00)Americans spend their free time in various ways. America is a country of sports-of hunting, fishing and swimming, and of team sports like baseball and football. Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television. They also like to play in community orchestras（管旋乐队）, make t
11、heir own films or recordings, go camping, visit museums, attend lectures, travel, garden, read, and join in hundreds of other activities. The people also enjoy building things for their homes, sewing their own clothes, even making their own photographs. They do these things for fun as well as for ec
12、onomy. But as much as Americans enjoy their free time, the country is at the same time a “self-improvement“ country. More than 25 million adults continue their education, chiefly by going to school in the evening, during their own free time, at their own expense. Added to the time spent on personal
13、activities, Americans also devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities. Many hospitals, schools, libraries, museums, parks, community centers, and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hour citizens devote to these activities, often without any pay. W
14、hy do they do it? There are several answers. The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself. When the country was first founded in 1776, it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live. They had crossed dangerous
15、seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom. There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government. People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities, rather than give the government more control. Sometimes people offer their ti
16、me because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid, to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community. It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work; or they are learning from the experience. No matter what the reason i
17、s, hundreds of thousands of so called leisure hours are put into hard, unpaid work on one or another community need.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.Why America is a country of sports.B.How Americans spend their free time.C.Why America is a “self-improvement“ country.D.How Ame

The insti
23、tute“s survey found that 69% of those polled finish their meals most or all of the time, even when the portions are huge. “Fully 30% Americans now say they generally base the amount of food they eat on the amount they are served,“ according to the institute, which promotes research on the links betw
24、een diet and cancer. “In a country where 64% of us are overweight or obese, there is an alarming tendency to overlook the sheer amount of food we“re eating,“ Dr. Barbara Rolls of Pennsylvania State University told a news conference. The report compiled information from two surveys involving 1,000 ad
25、ults each. One was conducted in 2000 and the other in 2003. In 2000, 7% of those surveyed said they ate their entire meal all the time when dining at full-service restaurants.

30、res are taken automatically, someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically. They suggest that all number plates have a bar code as well as the usual number.
