Hundreds of people lined up at Grand Central Terminal yesterday, but they

weren’t there to catch a train. They came to New York City’s famous railroad station to trade in old dollar bills for the new George Washington Presidential苊 1 coin.

The gold-colored coin is the first in a new series by the U.S. Mint（造幣廠）that honors former U.S. Presidents. The Mint will issue(發(fā)行) four Presidential苊 1 coins a year through 2016. Like the popular 50 State Quarters program, which issues coins in the order in which each state joined the Union, Presidential苊 1 coins will come out in the order in which each President served. The George Washington coin is the first to be released. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison coins will come out later this year.

The Presidential 苊 1 coins will be the same size and color as the Sacagawea Golden Dollar. However, there is an important difference. For the first time since the 1930s, there is an inscription（題字）on the edge of each coin. Each coin will show a different President on its face, or head side. It will also show the President’s name, the order in which he served and his years in office. The other side of the coin will show the Statue of Liberty and the inscriptions “United States of America” and “苊 1”.

There will be one Presidential苊 1 coin for each President, except Grover Cleveland. He will have two! Cleveland is the only U.S. President to have served two nonconsecutive（不連續(xù)的）terms.

The last President scheduled to get a coin is Gerald Ford because a President must have been dead for two years before he can be on a coin.

Why did people line up at the railway station?

    A. To book train tickets.             B. To exchange money.

    C. To visit a coin show.              D. To visit the station itself.

In which order will the Presidential苊 1 coins come out?

    A. Each state joined the Union.       B. Each President was born.

    C. Each President took office.        D. Each President died.

It can be inferred from the passage that         .

    A. there are no words on the Sacagawea Golden Dollar

    B. the new coin can buy more than the old coin

    C. the new coin takes on a white color

    D. the Sacagawea Golden Dollar is bigger

Why will Grover Cleveland have two coins?

    A. He served longer than any other President.

    B. He is the most famous President in the U.S.

    C. He is the only one who has served two terms.

    D. He served two terms but not continuously.

Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

    A. Presidential苊 1 coin issued.

    B. Different ways to honor Presidents.

    C. The differences between Presidential苊 1 coin and other coins.

D. Collections of old dollar bills.

Key West, Florida is a wonderful place to spend a vacation. It is a truly charming and fun city for the whole family. And of course you will get the good weather of Florida, with which you have plenty of time to enjoy the outdoor activities.
Key West is the most southern city in the continental USA. That is why their sunsets are so amazing. The sun is brighter there at sunset than anywhere else. It’s so beautiful that everyone gathers every evening at Mallory Dock to watch it. And there you will see jugglers (玩雜耍的人) and musicians entertaining in the streets.
The houses surrounded by trees and flowers are lovely in Key West, and many are restored and absolutely charming. There are too many hotels, inns, guest houses and restaurants to talk about. They all look great and their prices change according to seasons, and you can find something to suit every pocketbook and every taste.
At the seaport you will see various boats. It’s very interesting. The city is rich in history and was home to Ernest Hemingway. Harry Truman chose it for his winter White House. There are so many public transportation—taxis, tour trains, trolleys, bikes—and you can even walk if you choose. There are beautiful coral reefs. The deep reefs are farther off shore and are best visited with an experienced guide. However, there are shallow reefs close in where snorkelers (潛水者) can explore to their heart’s content. At Key West Marine Park you can do some good snorkeling.  In Key West you can go diving, fishing and do all sorts of water sports.
The problem with Key West is that no one ever wants to leave. Be sure to take your camera with you because you will want to snap (拍攝) everything you see. And whatever you do, be sure to take in the sunset because it is nothing like anything you have ever seen.

A．They are sure to have trouble finding a suitable restaurant.
