school and college. This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have
suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.
Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., estimates that
in the current first-year class of 1,600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. He says this
number hasn"t changed much over the years.
Mr. Deacon says the most common reason for taking a "gap year" is to have a chance to travel, but
he says international students may take a "gap year" to meet requirements at home for military duty.
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required
education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors,
for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their
admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they
enjoy.
The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called "Time Out or Burn Ou >t for the
Next Generation." It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life
experiences outside the pressure of studies. It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to
Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.
Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to
college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time
off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.
Holly Bull"s job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books
have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availability
of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that
many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.
B. More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.
C. It is likely that taking a "gap year" is becoming popular in America.
D. Americans hold different opinions towards students" taking a "gap year".
B. 3.
C. 4.
D. 5.
B. some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences
C. taking a "gap year" can make students free from life learning
D. the stress of studies does harm to the students" health
B. Books and media have contributed to the students" interest in school learning.
C. Parents might disagree with the program, concerned about their children"s future.
D. Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically.
fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners (路边小餐馆) for these reasons. In fact, many people in the State still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first "diner" in 1872. It was not really a diner. It was only a food
cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who
wanted a cup of coffee and all late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel
Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit
down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a
diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dish, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent
buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all
three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald"s and Burger King. However, the
diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a
entury ago, and it is still popular today.
B. Because diner was a new word.

D. five ways
B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.
C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant.
D. Sandwiches became bigger.
B. Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside

a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it"s an
ingredient (配料) in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and
pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices (香料) like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say "Ugh!" and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.
The word "chocolate" comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived
in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to
make a drink.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too.
Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding
sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao
and said it was good for the digestion.
In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter
taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first
solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People
liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip
cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge
sauce.
