When a dish is  37 , the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would  38 every bit of the food on their plates.
As I was hungry, my local colleague  39 much food for me. Since there were other things to do, we did not  40 much time dining. When we planned to leave, there was still about one third of  41 food left. When we were leaving the restaurant, we  42 someone calling us. When the old ladies spoke to us in English, we understood that they were  43 about us wasting so much food.
“We  44 for our food; it is none of your  45 how much food we left behind”, my colleague told the old ladies. They got angry, and one of them  46 made a call to someone. After a while, an officer in  47 arrived. Upon knowing what had happened, he issued us a 50-euro  48 . The officer told us in a stern（嚴厲的）voice: “order  49 you can consume. Money is yours,   50 the resources belong to the society. You have no  51 for wasting them.” Our face turned red. We all agreed with him in our  52 . My colleague took out a 50-euro note and repeatedly  53 to the officer.
My colleague copied the fine ticket and gave a copy to each of us as a souvenir. We all  54 it to remind us that we should never be  55 .

Death Valley is the lowest, hottest, driest area in North America. This California National Park has less than 5 cm of rainfall a year and temperature up to 53℃ in summer. That’s enough to keep Americans away during the hottest months from June to August. But it is the high temperature and terrible heat that draw their most crazy fans, the foreign tourists. From all over the world, they come to the valley floor in cars, carrying maps and water bottles, and fanning themselves with newspapers to keep cool.
About 1.3 million visitors enter the park each year, from June through August. 90% of them are foreigners. They go there to experience the summer heat that gives Death Valley its name. The average high in July is 53.2 ℃ and the low 30 ℃. For August, the average high is 52.2 ℃ and the low 29.4 ℃.
So what do Americans think of the foreign visitors who arrive for the heat, just when locals from the United States try to avoid it? Park manager Brenda Henson says, “ The foreigners want to experience the heat in Death Valley. We think it’s crazy.”

Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(風格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(質(zhì)量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.
小題1:Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ______.
A．more interesting.B．very popular.
C．more detailed.D．more formal.
小題2:Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ______.
A．remain interested in them.
B．a(chǎn)re ready to face up to them.
C．remain cold to them.
D．a(chǎn)re willing to get away from them.
小題3:Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A．A new type of robot.B．Nation hatred(憎恨).
C．Family income planning.D．Street accident.
小題4:We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ______.
A．have become the only ones of its kind.
B．exploit the weaknesses in human nature.
C．a(chǎn)ppear at different times of the day.
D．a(chǎn)ttract different people.
