When Tom finished his studies at the university, he began to look around for a job. He did not know what he would like to do, but one of his uncles had worked for the governmentfor thirty years, and he advisedTom to try to get a job of the same kind, so he went for an exam one day. He was successful, and his first job was in
a large government office in London.
When Tom had been working there for a few weeks, his uncle came to visit the family one Saturday evening. He was pleased that his nephew (侄子) had got a job working for the government, and he asked him a lot of questions about it.
One of the questions he asked was, “How many people work in your department (部门), Tom?”

Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many; for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain.
There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The earth shakes. Houses fall down. Railway lines are broken--.Sometimes many people are killed in an earthquake.
Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山),but this is not always true. The centers of some are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings; sometimes they break more buildings than earthquake itself.
What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete(混泥土)walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame(框架)will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together, and the walls do not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. This kind of building is the safest.
( )53. Which of the following shows that an earthquake happens?
A. The earth and the buildings shake badly.
B. There is a great noise in the sky.
C. The sky is covered with thick clouds.
D. The tigers and the lions in the zoo run about nervously.
( )54. The waves caused by an earthquake________.
A. disappear quickly
B. are beautiful to look at
C. travel distantly
D. are helpful to mankind
( )55. Which is the safest building for us to live in against earthquakes?
A. A building with a steel frame and concrete walls.
B. A very tall one.
C. A house made of good bricks.
D. A house without a roof.
C
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar（农历）, which is Sunday this year,all Chinese celebrate one of their traditional festivals, the Duanwu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival. Their celebrations include eating zongzi,
rice wrapped in bamboo leaves in the shape of a pyramid, racing dragon boats and sticking mugwort leaveson their doors.
There is a touching story behind the festival, too. Qu Yuan, a poet in the Warring States Period（战国时期）more than 2,000 years ago, threw himself on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month of 278 BC in the Milo River in despair over his country's future. Hearing of his death, people who loved Qu raced in boats to recover his body from the river and threw zongzi into it to feed the fish to keep them away from Qu's body.
In 2007, the central government decided to add the Duanwu Festival, together with two other traditional festivals - Tomb Sweeping Day and Mid Autumn Festival - to the list of public holidays.
According to tradition, our ancestors（长辈） believed the hot weather in midsummer might cause various diseases. So, to keep off diseases and drive out evil were the main purposes of the Duanwu Festival.Parents used colorful threads to make necklaces and bracelets （手镯） for children, gave them beautiful embroidered bags （荷包）, painted the Chinese character for "king" (wang) on their foreheads to drive away bad luck, and even taught them how to make bows and arrows as special toys.
The Duanwu Festival was also called "kids festival" in some places. Spending such happy hours with parents, young children began to understand the festival as well as the traditions and culture behind it. Repeating the customs year by year makes it possible for kids to learn the traditions, accept it and pass it on when they bee adults.
As we celebrate the Duanwu Festival for the first time, following the earthquake happened in Sichuan province, we should make full use of our traditional celebration to drive away bad luck and pray (祈祷) for long-term peace and prosperity（繁荣）for the people and country.
( )56. How do people celebrate the Duanwu Festival?
A. People celebrate this festival by eating eggs.
B. People celebrate this festival by eating zongzi, racing dragon boats.
C. People celebrate this festival by sending cards.
D. People celebrate this festival by singing and dancing.
( )57. What is the Chinese meaning of “mugwort leaves”in the second paragraph?
A. 粽叶
B. 红叶
C.艾叶
D. 松叶
( )58. How many public holidays added by the central government in 2007?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. only one
( )59. What is the main purpose of the Duanwu Festival according to tradition?
A. To keep off diseases and drive out evil and bad luck
B. To spend happy time with parents.
C. To make necklaces and braceletsfor children.
D. To have a long holiday with family members.
( )60. Which of the following sentences is Not right?
A. Quyan was killed by the emperor of Chu.
B. Tomb Sweeping Day usually es in early spring.
C. The horrible earthquake happened in Sichuan came before the Duanwu Festival
this year.
D. We should make full use of our traditional celebration to drive away bad
luck and pray for long-term peace and prosperityfor the people and country.

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the
original.
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful. Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s i deas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
