addition to, not to mention, and in the same way.we don t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams. but some people are lucky, like matthew mcconaughey. once almost unknown, the actor has recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in hollywood. his new movie interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success. “the film relies on mcconaughey s performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel and the end of the world,”forbes commented.but only years ago, the texas native was often the butt of jokes（笑柄）about being too handsome. in 1993, after meeting with director richard linklater, mcconaughey starred in dazed and confused. and a hollywood career was born, mostly in romantic comedies. for a long time, the whole world believed mcconaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.but mcconaughey stopped starring in that type of movie, and began to use his looks differently. slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor. in 2013, mcconaughey was offered to play an aids activist in dallas buyers club. the role saw the normally muscular

more popular in the u.s. the restaurants are not“fast food” . they are known as“fast casual” .observers say americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. this trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant mcdonald s has struggled financially. in the last quarter of 2014, mcdonald s net income dropped by about $300 million. the january earnings report brought more bad news. worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. while mcdonald s is struggling to get their customers back, shake shack, is doing well in making money. the new york-based burger chain had a very successful ipo, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of january. on its first day of trading, shake shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share. being part of the “fast casual ”trend has helped shake shack. other fast casual restaurants in the u.s. include chipotle and panera.bonnie riggs, a restaurant expert with npd has studied americans restaurant habits for almost 30 years. she says one reason why americans like fast casual food is that it s new. it s creative, it s something different and people like to try new things. her study shows americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like mcdonald s. fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. just as ms. riggs says,“it s growing by leaps and bounds, because they meet consumers needs. they know it s being prepared while they wait, it s fresh, quality food, good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices.”many americans still like their fast food. they just are not going as often. they are finding other ways to have a meal. 25. what s the trouble with mcdonald s?a. its share goes down to $21. b. shake shack has taken its place.c. it s not popular with americans. d. its sales and income have dropped.26. we can learn from bonnie riggs that americans _.a. don t like fast food any moreb. care only about the qualityc. like to try something newd. pay more restaurant visits to fast casual27. what does the underlined phrase“by leaps and bounds”in para. 3 mean?a. steadily.b. rapidly. c. slowly. d. normally.28. which of the following best describes fast casual?a. fresh-made and tasty. b. high-quality and

or finding your car towed away （拖走）after leaving it parked for a couple of minutes.but now a hightech car sticker could help motorists avoid such a situation by allowing a traffic warden（管理員）to get in touch with them. car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car s windscreen， having set it up with vital information, such as their phone number. the slim design will include a sensor that will send a text message warning a driver about a coming fine when touched by a traffic warden. the message will ask them to move their car immediately. the driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone, which will appear on the sticker s screen.they may choose to write something along the lines of“back in two minutes”in a bid to avoid a fine. frankfurt-based it consultant, daniel kalliontzis, came up with the idea and is raising funds on indiegogo to put his 54 sticker into production. the smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically, a german law. the law states:“an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.”it could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car. at the time of writing, mr kalliontzis has raised just over 3,000 of his 50,000 goal on indiegogo. if he manages to raise the money, the stickers will be shipped in june 2015. but it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages, because anyone could touch the smart sticker.32. the first paragraph is intended to _.a. highlight an awkward situationb. complain about a parking finec. introduce the topic of the passaged. remind motorists of the parking risk33. what may probably contribute to the application of the towstop sticker in germany?a. the sticker s low cost.b. the mass production.c. the goodwill of motorists.d. the law of the country.34. what can be concluded from the last paragraph about the towstop sticker?a. it takes time and efforts to put it to use.b. only traffic wardens can touch the stickerc. all car owners will use the sticker in 2015d. kalliontzis is experienced in raising money35. what s the right order of the following statements according to the passage?a message is sent by the sensor.the sticker is put inside a car s windscreen.a traffic warden touches the smart sticker.the sticker is set up with vital information.the motorist sends a message.a. b.c.
