　　1　　 Spanish people drink coca cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily．

I think that Aerican movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies．Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood．

　　2　　 Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from country of the European Community．

American culture is very much a part of Spanish life．It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things．For example, coca cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product．　　3　　

However, it’s different with western fast food．For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries．In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people 　　4　　

On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas．It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults．　　5　　

A．In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our lives every day．

B．The Spanish people usually go out to eat．

C．I’ve known coca cola my whole life．

D．The Spanish people normally eat at home．

E．In the past few years, our country has brought in many American movies

F．In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies．

G．The influence of America is increasing in my country．

　　Food is life; it gives us the nourishment(营养)we need to stay alive and be healthy．　　1　　 Brian Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories．Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food．For some people, ice cream is a comfort food．For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good．

　　　　2　　 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives, “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it．　　3　　 And it helps me feel better, ” says one of Wansink’s coworkers．

　　　　4　　 Wansink’s research(研究)at the University of Illinois says “yes”．In his study, the favourite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream．After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles．Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candies．Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried．

　　　　5　　 About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansink’s study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables．It shows, says Wansink, that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you．

A．Not all comfort food is junk food．

B．Where can we buy this sort of food?

C．Sweet foods are also their preference．

D．How does a food became comfort food?

E．Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy．

F．Do men and women choose different comfort foods?

G．Now, I often eat this kind of food when I am tired or worried．

　　1　　 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive(业务主管)gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs dance into view．

The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels．　　2　　．

The first and most basic level of wants involves food．Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears：clothing and some sort of shelter．By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans．　　3　　 It included such items as automobiles and new houses．

By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied．Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared：the “life-enriching” level．While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness．It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury”(奢侈)items．Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment．　　4　　

On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods．Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?

A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action．Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice．　　5　　 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels．

A．Then a third level appeared．

B．Human wants seem endless．

C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears．

D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life．

E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure．

F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing．

G．Different people have different wants on each level．

　　Many people need guidance in choosing a career(职业)．Fortunately, there is much information on the Web about job opportunities(机会)．With all the information available, it's not surprising that people can feel confused．So if you're ready to start your first job or change careers, where do you begin?

　　The Occupation Handbook is a good resource．Regularly updated, the Handbook is available as a book and on-line．Not only is information provided about the United States as a whole, but readers can easily search for information about their particular state．You can read about the fastest-growing occupations in the area where you live and find out what they are like．You can also learn how to apply for jobs．

　　Take, for example, Nadia's situation．Nadia was a doctor's assistant in Iran, and her goal in the United States is to become a nurse．However, she needs to work while she is studying nursing．She is interested in becoming a medical assistant to help work her way through college．When going on-line to the Handbook and searching under "medical assistant", Nadia is happy to read that this is expected to be one of the fastest-growing careers through 2010．Besides, job opportunities are even better for people with experience．She discovers that medical assistants not only have to do some office work, but have medical responsibilities as well．Nadia decides this job will be interesting and will also provide excellent experience for her nursing career．

　　The Occupation Handbook is just an example of websites that can help you plan a new career．When you have found information about some different careers, you will be ready to talk to career advisers．Choosing your future career is an extremely important decision．It's worth taOLking the time and finding as much information as you can．

　　Most people have some regret that they just can't seem to get rid of．But holding on to regret about the past that can't be changed can have a bad impact on the possibility of a happy future．Regret is a waste of time, emotion and energy．To make sure that your life is a successful one, you need to take action to live in a way that you have no regret holding you back．

　　Some people make very big decisions with very little consideration at all, and as a result they often regret their decisions．Before choosing a college major, getting married or accepting a job, you must carefully consider all conditions and make a conscious decision rather than a careless one．Big decisions aren't the only ones that require forethought, though．Before you become angry and say something you will regret later, think about what you're going to say．

　　Some of things will be easy to do and some will be hard, but keep your eyes on the prize of living a successful life without regret, and you'll find that achieving your goals might be easier than you think．But don't just daydream about those goals－make an actual list, written down in black and white, and refer to it now and then to see what you have left to do．

　　When you're feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn't a problem．But in those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never coming out again, you still must take care of yourself．You can do what you want and don't get angry with yourself about your shortcomings．On the contrary, you just admit them and try to change them and move on．Improving your mental health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically．

　　Keep those who are important to you very close and be sure to let them know how important they are to you．Family, friends, co-workers and people who are as close as your families are your lifelines that you can depend on whenever you need them to help you remember what's important in life．You should make sure of repairing your relationships with your friends if something bad happens．

　　Last but not least, learn to give yourself some relaxation(放松)and not to waste your time regretting things you cannot change．Treat those things properly and move on．Life is hard, but it is precious．Don't waste time regretting the past, or your future will get here before you know it．

　　If you have decided to take some English courses in the UK, there are some exams that you have to take to determine which classes you should be taking．The first exam that you have to take is the Key English Test, which determines how well you can handle speaking English on a day－to－day basis along with written English skills．

　　The KET has three parts．They are the basic reading and writing test, the listening exam and the speaking exam．Once you have passed this, you can take the PET exam, which stands for the Preliminary English Test．This test is just for people who already have both basic oral and written skills．

　　If you can read such items as newspapers, signs, magazines and books, you may be ready to take the next step．Try practicing your writing skills as well and when you think you have good enough writing skills, take this test．There are three sections to this test, the reading, writing and spoken English comprehension skills．

　　Once you have successfully passed the PET test, you can then move on to the more advanced classes and tests, like the FCE, which is the First Certificate Exam．This exam is harder and more advanced than the other tests．If your job depends on English speaking or writing, then this test is a must to pass．You will need to have passed the last two tests in order to take this one．You will also need to have more of a background when it comes to the English language．By passing the FCE, you have showed that your English speaking ability is of high level．
