A
Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meet in gs, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores （杂务）.1 started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering. I would imagine spending time with my gra ndchildre n, quiet evenings with my wife, traveli ng, or rediscoveri ng some great books. I told myself that I wouldn ' stign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.
My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper … On the third day,… This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition （过渡）,that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon eno ugh. But someth ing was miss ing.
A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest n eighborhoods. Would I in terrupt my n ewfo und happ in ess” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That ' s allaMkeblaandber^ door.
The trip was very in spiri ng. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a
week with a local youth organization. The experienee was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work. Now, it seems, the tables have turn ed. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the stude nt. These young people have reawakened my commitment （责任感）to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most important, they have given me the opport unity to con ti nue to participate in help ing to find soluti on s. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas.

When you think about math, you probably don ' t think about breaking the law, solving mysteries
or finding crim in als. But a mathematicia n in Maryla nd does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find crim in als.
People who solve crimes look for patter ns that might reveal （揭示）the ide ntity of the crim in al.
It ' s long been believed, for example, that ciminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because it 'easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.
But Mike O' Learya mathematicia n at Tows on Uni versity in Maryla nd, says that this ki nd of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a crim in al' s home base by combi ning these patter ns with a city layout （布局）ahdshistorical crime records.
The records of past crimes con tain geographical in formatio n and can reveal easy targets —that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locati ons of past crimes con tain in formatio n about where major streets and in tersectio ns are. O' Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and in formatio n about how a crim inal ' s patter ns cha nge with age. It ' s bee n show n, for example, that
the youn ger the crim in al, the closer to home the crime.
Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but O ' Leary ' s uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departme nts around the coun try.
The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. O' Leapsays that criminology —the study of crime and crim in als ——contains a l ot of good math problems. "I feel like I ' m in a gold
mine and I ' m the only one who knows what gold looks lik^e says. " It ”' s a lot of fun. ”
49. To find crim in als, police usually ______ .
A. check who are on the crime scene
B. seek help from local people
C. depend on new mathematical tools
D. focus on where crimes take place
50. O'Leary is writi ng a computer program that ________ .
A. uses math to in crease the speed of calculati on
B. tells the identity of a criminal in a certain area
C. provides the crime records of a give n city
D. shows cha nges in crim in als'patter ns
51. By " I ' m the only one who knows what gold looks lik,eO"Leary means'that he ________ .
is better at finding gold than others
is the only one who uses math to make money knows best how to use math to help solve crimes has more kno wledge of gold tha n other mathematicia ns
52. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Math could help police find crim in als.
B. Criminals live near where crimes occur.
C. Crime records could be used to fight crime.
D. Computer software works in preve nti ng crimes.

In ancient Japa n, if you saved some one 'life, they would make it their duty to spe nd the rest of their life servi ng you. Nowadays, if you rescue some one 'story, he or she will feel the same kind of gratitude （感激）.
It happe ns all the time. Some one in a group is telli ng a story an d, just before their big point, BOOM! There 'an in terrupti on. Some one new joi ns the group, a waiter with a plate of biscuits comes over, or a baby starts crying. Sudde nly every one 'atte ntio n tur ns to the new arrival, the food on the plate, or the “harm ing "little child. Nobody is aware of the in terrupti on —except the speaker. They forget all about the fact that the speaker hasn 'made his or her point.
Or you ' all sitti ng around the living room and some one is telli ng a joke. Sudde nl y, just before their big punch line （妙语）,little Johnny drops a dish or the phone rings. After the crash, every one talks about little Joh nny 'careless ness. After the call, the subject turns to the upco ming marriage or medical operation of the caller. Nobody remembers the great punch line got unfini shed —except the joke teller. Whe n it 'you en terta ining every one at a restaura nt, have you ever no ticed how you can almost set your clock by the waiter coming to take every one s order
just before your funny punch line?
Most joke and story tellers are too shy to say, after the interruption, Now, as I was saying …"
In stead, they 'llspe nd the rest of the evening feeli ng bad they did n 'get to fini sh. Here 'where you come in. Rescue them with the tech nique I call Lend a Help ing Ton gue"
Watch the gratitude in the storyteller 'eyes as he stabilizes where his story sunk and he sails off aga in toward the cen ter of atte nti on. His expressi on and the appreciati on of your con siderati on by the rest of the group are ofte n reward eno ugh. You are even more fortun ate if you can rescue the story of some one who can hire you, promote you, buy from you, or otherwise lift your life.
Big winners have excellent memories. When you do them subtle favors like Lend a Helping Ton gue, they find a way to pay you back.ks5u
53. Very ofte n, a storyteller cannot make his point because _______ .
A. people are more in terested in food tha n his story
B. many guests bring their babies to the party
C. he is in terrupted by someth ing un expected

A. someth ing bad will surely happe n just before their punch line
B. listeners' attention is often drawn to something else
C. the only pers on really in terested in the joke is the joke teller
D. the waiter knows whe n to take every one 'order
55. How can we help the joke and story tellers whe n they are in terrupted?
A. By giv ing them a cha nee to fini sh.
B. By comforting them to make them happy.
C. By going on telling the story for them.
D. By teach ing them some useful tech niq ues.
56. What is the text mai nly about?
A. People should learn how to take turns in a conversation.
B. We can win some one 'heart by gett ing him back to his story.
C. Telling jokes will make you the center of attention.
D. It is impolite to cut i n on some one 'talk. ks5u

Last year, Jack Bleed cut through the bone of his ring fin ger while work ing. The 31-year-old reside nt of North Little Rock, Arka nsas, waited for about six hours at a n earby medical cen ter while the medical staff there called all over tow n —even as far away as Dallas and Memphis —to find a hand surge on to reattach his fin ger. Fi nally, a willi ng doctor was located in Louisville, Ken tucky. But even though Bleed had in sura nee （保险）,he would have to hire a private pla ne to get himself there, at a cost of $4,300 .In the end, he charged the cost to two credit cards, and his fin ger was saved. His in sura nee compa ny even tually covered the cost of the pla ne, but his experie nee makes people aware of the fact that trauma （夕卜伤）care in the Un ited States is not
only geographically limited, but in many places, non-existe nt.
Only eight states —New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, California, Oregon, and Washington —have local, fully functional trauma systems. The remaining states have partial systems, and 12 —in cludi ng Arka nsas —have no trauma system at all.
Although the Preside nt has sig ned a bill of $12 milli on for the purpose of support ing trauma care systems nationwide, many in Congress （国会）are unwilling to spend government money for a service they thi nk should be paid for by states, says Wayne Meredith, medical director for trauma programs at the America n College of Surge ons. Mean while, many states have also failed to find the dollars to support trauma systems. To make matters worse, many people without in sura nee depend heavily on the emergency care services, placing a huge financial burden on the medical cen ters that serve them.
For the same reason, doctors, too, often go unpaid. They are unwilling to perform emergency care, worse ning critical shortages of n eurosurge ons, orthopedists, and hand surge ons — the very types of specialists Bleed n eeded at short no tice.
Supporting a trauma care system doesn ' ttake much. A half-penny sales tax in Miami-Dade County makes its outstanding system work. In Arkansas alone, says Wayne Meredith, a well-fu nded trauma system would possibly preve nt 200 to 600 deaths each year. If trauma care systems were to work well across the nation, experts say, many thousands of lives each year could be saved. “ You don ' t get much better return on your investment than that,
Meredith
57. In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Bleed ' s case to ________ .
A. make a comparis on
B. in troduce a topic
C. describe a pers on
D. tell a story
58. Many people in Con gress argue that trauma care systems should be supported by _______ A. each state B. the Preside nt
C. in sura nee compa nies
D. the US gover nment
59. The example of Miami-Dade County shows that _______ . A. its tax policy is admirable
B. a trauma system is n ot expe nsive
C. running a trauma system is profitable
D. sales tax is not heavy in small coun ties
60. Why are the prese nt trauma care systems in some states not satisfactory? A. They are short of finan cial support. B. They are shared by all the states. C. The doctors are not well train ed. ks5u D. The hospitals can 'provide low-cost services.
