              When first entered, Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabobs (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
                   Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack. The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
                   A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, reading local Persian newspapers all the while and trying to finish off their plate piled with food. 
                   The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well. The food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat.One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.
                   Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not be overlooked.

              The Depression was still going on, but I was in good spirits. I was going to graduate from elementary school, yet my mother   __  (1)  __   dressed me in shorts. Most of my classmates had given up   __  (2)  __   shorts. For the graduation ceremony, all the boys were   __  (3)  __   to dress the same way—white shirts and dark-blue wool pants.

              I waited a week before I told my mother. I   __  (4)  __   Iˈd better break the news to her as gently as I could.

              “Mum,” I said, “about   __  (5)  __   …”

              “Theyˈre going to give me the first-prize medal,” I said.

              She looked   __  (6)  _   her shoulder at me and smiled. “Thatˈs wonderful, babe. Dad and I will both be there, and weˈll be the __  (7)  __   parents in the place.”

              She must have seen by the look on my face that   __  (8)  __   was wrong. She turned her back and said, “So?”

              “So, I have to get   __  (9)  __   pants,” I said.

              “Babe, we donˈt have the   __  (10)  __   for new pants right now,” she said very quietly. “You know that.”

              “OK,” I burst out. “Then I wonˈt go to graduation. Plus, Iˈm   __  (11)  __   away from home!”

              The library is one of the most popular places at a western university.Students turn to it for research,conversations about class,and many other services.

              Compared with Chinese libraries,college libraries in the US and UK tend to offer more resources.A postgraduate at Yale University can borrow as many as 225 books at a time.

              In addition to borrowing books,there are online and electronic resources.These include a database search of popular and academic material,such as LexisNexis Academic,which offers items from newspapers and magazines.

              Although books and articles are the items that students ask for most frequently,some libraries provide audio and video recordings,maps and sheet music(活页乐谱).At some schools,teachers and tutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on the library web to give easier access for students.

              Another useful service in western college libraries is the Interlibrary Loan.This allows a student at one school to borrow books from another school.The loan request is made through the studentˈs college library,which gets the book,gives it to the user,and arranges for its return.

              Technology has brought more services to students and has made libraries attractive.Some universities have services for students to send messages through the computer or mobile texts to ask the library staff for information.

              Earlier this year,Harvard University introduced a new Scan and Deliver service,allowing students to make requests for parts of books and articles.Requests made through the system are handled by library staff.The student receives an e-mail with an Internet link to the scanned pages.The service is free and all material comes within four days.

              It used to be that libraries didnˈt allow food or drinks.But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a café so students can spend as much time as they want in the library.

              Actually,some US university libraries are now all-night affairs,or have at least one study room open all night.


              (1) In western college libraries a postgraduate can ________.



              A. have a free drink or a meal
              B. borrow as many books as they want
              C. ask questions and get answers from their tutors
              D. access not only books but other study resources

              (2) LexisNexis Academic is the name of a ________.



              A. guide    B. library    C. database   D. university

              (3) Which of the following are mostly needed by students in western libraries?



              A. Books and articles.
              B. Audio and video recordings.
              C. Maps and sheet music.
              D. Tutorsˈ teaching PPTs.

              (4) How can a college student borrow books from other collegesˈ libraries?



              A. By going to these libraries.
              B. By getting them through the Internet.
              C. By borrowing them through their own library.
              D. By sending messages through the computer or mobile texts.

              For most people, running one full marathon is quite challenging, but for 37-year-old Rob Young, it is merely a short warm-up. This British man  (1) 370 marathons last year, which meant that he ran  (2) one marathon per day. 

              It all  (3) as a bet with his wife on a Sunday morning when they watched the TV coverage of the London Marathon in April 2014. In fact, Young had been  (4)  to sitting comfortably on a sofa watching TV rather than going out for a walk. Obviously, he wasn't very interested in running at the time, and he even considered it  (5) 

              When his wife  (6)  him by saying that he couldn't run marathons at all, even if he tired. Young felt this had  (7)  him badly, so he replied that he would  (8) her some money if he couldn't run. 

              The next morning, he  (9) at 3:30 am, printed out the route, and completed one marathon before work. He felt so good that he  (10) doing it every day, and had run the  (11)  equivalent to 10 marathons during that week. 

              Before long, Young was addicted to running. He  (12) all of last year's 365 days running marathons. Since January, 2015, Young has completed several (13) . He won the Trans-American Footrace, a 6-month long competition, with a  (14)  time of 322 hours and 10 minutes. He  (15) the world record for the world's longest run without sleep. 

              Having  (16) so much already, Young now hopes to use his running to test the  (17)  of human endurance. “I'd like to find something that's challenging,” he said. “I'd like to  (18) the Arctic Circle and the North Pole. There is only a certain time of the year when people have (19)  to do it, but I will try.” 

              He added, “For me, nothing is  (20) . It's only a test.”
