A Mr. Hitlon was a tall and thin man. He seemed weak and could not hurt anybody. He killed several enemy soldiers when he was in the army. And he was hurt in the war and had to return to the town where he was born. He found a job in the factory. He kept the gate for thirty-two years and didn't make any mistakes. He knew everybody in the factory well and even knew where they lived. The factory made several kinds of televisions. Some of their parts were expensive. Nobody dared take anything away when the old man was on duty. A few young men thought he was old and wanted to steal something one night. Mr. Hitlon found them as soon as they went in the workplace. They began to fight with him but before long they found they were no match for him and were going to run a- way. But it was too late. The old man caught them all and called the police station. From then on no- body dared steal anything there. One morning a few people came. At the gate Mr. Hitlon stopped them and said," Show your pass to me, please. "A man who seemed an official called out, "Don't you know who I am?" Mr. Hitlon had a look at him and said to his helper, "This gentleman doesn't know his name. It seems that he needs our help?

B In every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace (领先), while the others follow their lead. Let's say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming (不得体的). This situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher(屠夫). Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "Gee, the crowd does it. "Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it your- self. Learn to say, " No". Develop your own standards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning some- thing you disagreed to, have the courage to bow(鞠躬) out mannerly. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.
C Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano (女高音) voice -- the highest singing voice for women. Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera(歌剧) is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic (悲剧的)or comical(喜剧的). They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the feelings expressed by words and music come to life. Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe as she has done for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten why she started singing in the first place. "Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it," says Carol," because singing is a great joy. That's why I sing. In fact, that's why everybody sings."
1. What's about operas according to the second paragraph?
A.The characters in operas don't act but sing.
B.The stories of opera are only about love.
C.The stories of opera may have either happy ending or sad ending.
D.The characters in the opera speak to tell the stories.
D Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure -- those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored(探询) unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate pleasure from a dangerous activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee(蹦极) jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place about 200 meters above the ground with an rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high rocks. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modem societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly under danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, and life was a continuous battle for survival(生存). Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in relatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
1. What is special about bungee jumping? A. It is more dangerous, B. It is much easier to do. C. It is hard to find a proper place for it.D. It takes much shorter time to get pleasure.
2. The writer think people take part in dangerous sports because ______. A. they want to get away from modem lifeB. they have more free time C. they like adventures D. they are not quite pleased with modem life
A B C D
D
在文章倒数第二段作者指出了在现代人们参加类似于蹦极等极限运动的原因,即“...because life in modern societies has become safe and boring.”看来枯燥、平淡的现代生活正是现代人参加各种极限运动、寻找刺激的原因。
3. The writer of this text ______.
A.is a lover of dangerous activities himself
B.is against dangerous activities
C.introduces an interesting activity to people
D.doesn't say whether dangerous activities are good or bad
E Letter A Dear Etty Kit, My roommate's family wants me to have Thanksgiving dinner with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I'm excited about going, but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I'm a little afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a gift, such as candy(糖果) or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?
Yours sincerely, Confused
Letter B Dear Confused, It's a good idea to bring a small gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family drinks it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know about choosing the correct fork, knife, or spoon ,just watch the other people ,and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don't be shy about asking the person next to you. It's better to ask than to be quietly uncomfortable and nervous. If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a card or thank-you note the day after.
Yours, Etty Kit
