A
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
36. The bike was so important to the couple because .
A. the man’s job was bike racing
B. it was their only possession
C. it was a nice Kona 18 speed
D. they used it for work and daily life
37. We can infer from the text that ___________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours per week
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family
38. People get to know the couple’s problem from .
A. radio broadcasts
B. a newspaper
C. TV news
D. a stranger
39. The couple learns from their experience that___________.
A. strangers are usually of little help
B. one should take care of their bike
C. news reports make people famous
D. an act of kindness can mean a lot
B
Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her." Most people don't seem to mind Allan," says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog.
Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor（货币单位） in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill.
However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance(保险)for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage(损坏) their dog does.
A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
40. Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because ______.
A. he is her dog
B. he is her child
C. he follows her everywhere
D. he often falls ill
41. The money paid as dog taxes is used to ______.

B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
42. If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for
the damage done to the car? ______
A. The owner of the car
B. The owner of the dog
C. The insurance company (公司)
D. The government
43. From the text, it can be inferred that in Sweden ______.
A. dogs are welcome in public places
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people care much about dogs

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but n ow it becomes an accepted name for fakes（假货）after “Shanzhai Cell phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.
Besides that “Shanzhai” has electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.
“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, symbolizing(象征) anything that imitates something famous. The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.
In southwestern China’s Chongqing Municipality（自治区）, a “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention an d the “Shanzhai” version（种类）“Water Cube” is popular with tourists too. Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.
Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears naturally to attract people. “In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” Xie said.
Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that “Shanzhai” culture never copies classic things, only trendy products.
In that sense, it’s like a computer virus, multiplying（繁殖）without meaning.
Though controversial（有争议的）, “Shanzhai” culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon. To the mainstream culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, said Xie. Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.
48. The Chinese Word “Shanzhai” may have its origin in _________.
A. fake cell phones
B. electronic products
C. Spring Festival Gala
D. Olympics buildings
49. The underlined word “imitates” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. steals
B. copies
C. advertises
D. cheats
50. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ________.
A. The action that a person imitates famous people
B. anything that imitates something famous
C. those similar names to famous brand
D. products with poor techniques and quality
51. We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.
A. will be held back by “Shanzhai” culture
B. will sooner or later be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture
C. may develop faster because of th e challenging of “Shanzhai” culture
D. thinks nothing of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: "We have to go to work now," you're left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the "work" they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.
Stage schools often act as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name "stage school" are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.
A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?
Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.
The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful
in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.
52. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children
they're talking to ______.
A. attend a stage school
B. are going to the theatre
C. have got some work to do
D. love singing and dancing
53. In the writer's opinion, a good stage school should ______.
A. produce star performers
B. help pupils improve their study skills
C. train pupils in language and performing arts
D. provide a general education and stage training
54. "Professional work" used in the text means ______.
A. ordinary school work
B. money-making performances
C. stage training at school
D. acting, singing or dancing after class
55. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?
He ______.
A. thinks highly of what they have to offer
B. favors an early start in the training of performing arts
C. feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows
D. doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.
