The US has a tradition of religious tolerance and every resident (居民) has total freedom of religion without hindrance from the state or community.
Although the influence of religion decreased in most Western socie?ties in the latter part of the 20th century,the US has remained religious (it's one of the world's most deeply religious nations) . The national motto "In God We Trust" is in?scribed upon US coins,and the pledge of allegiance (效忠宣誓) to the American flag still refers to the US as "one nation under God" despite a few legal attempts to have the words removed. Religion is a part of Americans' everyday life (only sport is taken more seriously) .
More than 90 per cent of Americans claim to believe in God (and Mammon) , two thirds are members of a local church or temple and around 4. 5 per cent attend religious services at least once a week. Some 60 per cent of Americans are Protestant,25 per cent Roman Catholic,2 per cent Jewish,1 per cent Orthodox and 4 per cent belong to other religions such as Buddhist,Hindu or Moslem (the remaining 8 per cent claim no religion) .
Not surprisingly,more Americans believe in heaven (around 80 per cent) than hell (65 per cent) , and 70 per cent believe in life after death. As a consequence of the diverse religions,Americans refer to "first" or "given" names,rather than "Christian" names.
Astonishingly,around one third of Americans claim to be " bornagain Chris?tians" ,because they believe life starts anew (重新) when you commit yourself to Jesus Christ (being born again doesn't,however,guarantee you a longer life) . They believe that every word in the Bible is literally true and that Darwin's theory of evo?lution is false. The southern and southwest regions are known as the "bible belt" because of such people's firm belief. In many parts of the US,there's a determina?tion by religious believers to force nonbelievers into their views,often through socalled street preachers (传道者) .

My parents and I went to the park on last Sunday. There were lots of visitors stood in front of the ticket window. We waited a long time and buy three tickets. In the Tiger Mountain of the park,I was too eager to see the fierce frightened animals that I quickened my steps through the crowd. Unfortunate,I got separated from my parents. I had hard time looking for him,but I had no luck. Wandering in the park,I felt alone without any companions. Worse still,I had no money,so I had to walk home,covered as far as 5 kilometres.

The freezing northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed be?fore you could say " sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C) ,thinking of beaches and; orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets (at nor?mal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend,but the best part―particularly to my taste,dulled by months of coldweather root vegetables―was a 7 am adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wakeup call.
The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the redpainted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all,the tomatoes: amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken,vineripened (蔓上成熟的) promise,I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they're unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless. But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one parti?cular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my hap?piness deepened when I learned that Browns Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened res?taurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where―luckily for me―I was planning to have dinner that very night. With?out even seeing the menu,I knew I'd be ordering every to?mato on it.
11. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
12. What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmers' market.
13. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
A. They are soft.
B. They look nice.
C. They taste great.
D. They are juicy.
14. What was the author going to do that evening?
A. Go to a farm.
B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant.
D. Buy fresh vegetables.
