Eileen Collins is the first woman ever chosen to be a spaceship pilot. She is also the first woman to command(指揮) a spaceship. Today she has flown more than 5, 000 hours in more than 30 kinds of airplanes.

Talking about high school, she said, “I began reading all kinds of books about famous women pilots. These women went and flew into dangerous places. Their stories encouraged me.” In 1977 Eileen got a pilot’s license and the following year she graduated from university. She went into space in 1999 at the age of 43. She took with her the hopes and dreams of a nation of young people on the earth.

Eileen is not only an astronaut but also a wife and the mother of a young daughter. She has short curly hair and friendly brown eyes. She met her husband, Pat, while they were together in the air force(空軍).

When she was named as the First Woman Spaceship Commander in 1998, Eileen smiled and said, “When I was a child, I dreamed about space. It was only a dream that I would be one of the astronauts someday. I hope all children will be encouraged to reach for their dreams, when they see I go into space. I believe dreams do come true!”

 There were two McDonalds—Mac and Dick—and they were brothers. In 1948, they owned a restaurant in California, they liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.

“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”

These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly—in less than a minute—and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.

Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for＄27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world—even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.

McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.

   A. they didn’t need waiters or waitresses     B. they could use plastic plates

2. Customers “paid only 15 cents for hamburgers” means the hamburgers were___.

3.. The first McDonald’s customers took their food away because_____.

   C. There were no seats in the restaurant     D. they wanted to eat at home

4. Nowadays, the owners of McDonald’s restaurants pay for ____.

   A. the McDonald’s name and menu        B. children to play games

   C. people to take the food away           D. customers to eat quickly

5. This story mainly tells us ____.

   A. a restaurant in California in 1948

Worse than the bad grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people,   48   parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an   49   person and a teacher might watch you more   50   the next time you’re taking a test.

There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s   51   too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a habit, but a student is always able to act better and make better   52  . It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend.  

1.A. taking         B. spending         C. costing          D. using
