For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneEverybody knows the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34, 000, 000, 000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat in at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries ( French fried potatoes), shakes ( a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same.

Passage Two.Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe.

He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the year following World War I honors were increasingly given to him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilem Institute on Theoretical Physics.

Sometimes a puppy, or even an older dog, will chew their fingers or bite them. Even in play, this can really hurt. Unfortunately, many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog. However, when the dog gets larger, it is not fun to be bitten it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human skin or clothing is an important lesson. From now on, if you feel your dog‟s teeth while you are playing with him, say “Ouch” in a loud voice and move away from him. He will soon learn that when he bites, you will not play with him any more.Another bad habit that many people tolerate in their pets is allowing them to bite and hold on to clothing. Don‟t let your dog do this to you. When he does something you want him to do, praise him and tell him he‟s a good dog. You can also give him a treat at the same time he performs the good behavior. Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not. Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dogwhen he does what you want, he will become very well behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a sock with a knot tied in it or an old shoe. If he chews the wrong thing, take it away while saying “No” and give him something he can chew. If dos are trained well, they will truly be your friends for a lifetime.21.
