　　Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)

　　Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

　　Passage One

　　"Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it's accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans (孤儿) in Africa!"

　　Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take a few too many bites. Instead of saying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.

　　According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies (肚子). 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 serve large portions to stand apart from competitors and to give the customers value. 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 sizes began to grow in the 1970s; the same time that the American waistline began to expand.

　　Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. A restaurant industry trade magazine reported lager month that 57 percent of more than 4 000 people surveyed believed 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 healthy. 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 to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.

　　31. By saying” Be a member of the clean-plate-club!"(Para. 1) a parent or grandparent is asking the children to

　　A. wash dishes after meals

　　B. eat all the food on their plate

　　C. save food for the starving Africans

　　D. reserve food for the future

　　A. are partly responsible for the overweight problem

　　B. ignore the government regulations on food amount

　　C. serve two to four times the amount the customers want

　　D. are partly to blame for the waste of food in America

　　33. US restaurants provide large portions of food because

　　A. Almost customers are calling for that

　　B. they want to win in severe competition

　　C. the American waistline in expanding

　　D. it is the regulation of the restaurant industry

　　34. According to the passage, working class Americans dining in restaurants

　　A. eat less to save money

　　B. get less on their plate

　　C. want to get their money's value back

　　D. do not care about their health

　　35. A proper title of the passage is __

　　A. Why Restaurants Serve Large Portions

　　B. Income and Food Portion Sizes

　　C. Clean Your Plate

　　D. Less Food on the Plate Is Healthier
