24、amous day in 1776. When the Americans declared their independence, congress made the declaration in Philadelphia, and that night in the city there were joyful celebrations which soon became nationwide. Even since, the 4th of July has been marked in the American calendar as Independence Day, and ther

25、e are parades and festivities of all kinds.The Declaration of Independence drawn up by Thomas Jefferson is one of the most important documents ever published, and it dropped like a bombshell（ 意外事件） on the western world. Here is a sentence which shook the ruling classes of Europe, “We hold these trut

26、hs to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed ( 赋予)by their Creator with certain unalienable(不可剥夺的) rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” KS*5U.C#O%下56.

Some say that the Western food is better than the Chinese food. Do you think so? First, lets make a standard(标准) of the better diet. We dont have to care much about

29、 the shape, the colour and the taste of the food. We say the one that has more nutrition, is easier to be digested and absorbed(吸收) by the body and then makes us more energetic should be the better. In this way, I believe, our Chinese food should be better than the Western food. Why? I think the Wes

30、tern food contains too much fat and sugar. I know both fat and sugar are a kind of nutrition we need in our body, but too much of them will make your body harmed. Thats why so many westerners get ill when young. Besides, westerners have to use knives, forks and spoons to help them have their meals.

31、It seems that they couldnt have their meals without force. But in Chinese food we have those mainly from plants including their seeds, leaves and roots together with a little meat such as chicken, fish, pork, mutton and so on. With so much plant food we can get enough calories as it is rich in fiber

32、, protein, calcium and fat. With a little meat we can make our body even stronger. Besides, we use chopsticks, bowls and plates to help us have our meals. All of these make us harmonious to nature and everybody around us. So I say our Chinese food makes us wise, happy, healthy and wealthy.59. What i

36、he food.B. Fat and sugar in the food do harm to our body.C. Westerners use knives, chopsticks and spoons to help them have meals while Chinese use bowls, forks and plates.D. Chinese food and the way Chinese have meals show Chinese are more harmonious with nature.CIn the U.S., people prefer waiting f

37、or a table to sitting with people they dont know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them. At

38、 American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually d

39、o make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Serving in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog

40、 on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself. “Supper” and “dinner” are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal. Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of

If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness the

52、n pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的)brought by such things as marriage,

53、raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite

54、painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to descr

55、ibe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates（解放） time: now we can d

56、evote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much f

57、un actually may not be happy at all.71.
