M: Well, I really don’t like running.

　　W: OK, then. How about roller skating? Don’t you have a pair of skates?

　　M: Now that you mention it, I do have a pair. But where could we skate? That’s not an indoor skating rink.

　　W: 【22】You know the bike path on the other side of campus—the one that goes through the trees?

　　M: Yes?

　　W: Well, I’ve seen people skating there, and it’s a really pretty area.

　　M: That’s true, but I also remember that there are some hills over there.

　　W: So what?

　　M: So, I don’t mind going up hills, but I hate going down them, 【23】because I’m not good at stopping. In fact, the only way for me to stop is to jump off the path and hope I land on some thing soft.

　　W: Tell you what. 【24】I’ll show you how I stop, and if it doesn’t work you’ll still have the grass to fall back on.

　　M: OK. I’m ready, but 【25】I think we should bring something to drink.

　　W: 【25】Good idea! What’s in the dorm fridge?

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　Every person uses its own special words to describe things and express ideas. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is "Where’s the beef?"【26】It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, "Where’s the beef?" was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it all the time.

　　Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in America than the hamburger made from beef. 【27】In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurant "McDonald’s". 【27】Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine. 【28】Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.
